1 Вины̑ и҆́щетъ мꙋ́жъ хотѧ̀ ѿлꙋчи́тисѧ ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ, на всѧ́ко же вре́мѧ поноси́мь бꙋ́детъ. 2 Не тре́бꙋетъ премꙋ́дрости мꙋ́жъ скꙋдоꙋ́менъ, занѐ па́че во́дитсѧ безꙋ́мїемъ. 3 Є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ нечести́вый во глꙋбинꙋ̀ ѕѡ́лъ, неради́тъ: нахо́дитъ же є҆мꙋ̀ безче́стїе и҆ поноше́нїе. 4 Вода̀ глꙋбока̀ сло́во въ се́рдцы мꙋ́жа, рѣка́ же и҆зска́чꙋщи и҆ и҆сто́чникъ жи́зни. 5 Чꙋди́тисѧ лицꙋ̀ нечести́вагѡ не добро̀, нижѐ преподо́бно ᲂу҆кланѧ́ти првⷣное на сꙋдѣ̀. 6 Оу҆стнѣ̀ безꙋ́мнагѡ приво́дѧтъ є҆го̀ на ѕло̀, ᲂу҆ста́ же є҆гѡ̀ де́рзѡстнаѧ призыва́ютъ сме́рть. 7 Оу҆ста̀ безꙋ́мнагѡ сокрꙋше́нїе є҆мꙋ̀, ᲂу҆стнѣ́ же є҆гѡ̀ сѣ́ть дꙋшѝ є҆гѡ̀. 8 Лѣни̑выѧ низлага́етъ стра́хъ: дꙋ́ши же мꙋже́й жена́мъ подо́бныхъ вза́лчꙋтъ. 9 Не и҆сцѣлѧ́ѧй себѐ во свои́хъ дѣ́лѣхъ бра́тъ є҆́сть погꙋблѧ́ющемꙋ себѐ сама́го. 10 И҆з̾ вели́чества крѣ́пости и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, къ немꙋ́же притека́юще првⷣницы возно́сѧтсѧ. 11 И҆мѣ́нїе бога́тꙋ мꙋ́жꙋ гра́дъ тве́рдъ, сла́ва же є҆гѡ̀ вельмѝ присѣнѧ́етъ. 12 Пре́жде сокрꙋше́нїѧ возно́ситсѧ се́рдце мꙋ́жꙋ и҆ пре́жде сла́вы смирѧ́етсѧ. 13 И҆́же ѿвѣща́етъ сло́во пре́жде слы́шанїѧ, безꙋ́мїе є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть и҆ поноше́нїе. 14 Гнѣ́въ мꙋ́жа ᲂу҆кроща́етъ ра́бъ разꙋ́мный: малодꙋ́шна же человѣ́ка кто̀ стерпи́тъ; 15 Се́рдце разꙋ́мнагѡ стѧ́жетъ чꙋ́вствїе, ᲂу҆шеса́ же мꙋ́дрыхъ и҆́щꙋтъ смы́сла. 16 Даѧ́нїе человѣ́ка распространѧ́етъ є҆го̀ и҆ съ си́льными посажда́етъ є҆го̀. 17 Првⷣный себє̀ сама́гѡ ѡ҆глаго́льникъ во первосло́вїи: є҆гда́ же приложи́тъ сꙋпоста́тъ, ѡ҆блича́етсѧ. 18 Прекослѡ́вїѧ ᲂу҆толѧ́етъ молчали́вый и҆ во власте́хъ ѡ҆предѣлѧ́етъ. 19 Бра́тъ ѿ бра́та помога́емь, ꙗ҆́кѡ гра́дъ тве́рдъ и҆ высо́къ, ᲂу҆крѣплѧ́етсѧ же ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆снова́ное ца́рство. 20 Ѿ плодѡ́въ ᲂу҆́стъ мꙋ́жъ насыща́етъ чре́во своѐ, и҆ ѿ плодѡ́въ ᲂу҆сте́нъ свои́хъ насы́титсѧ. 21 Сме́рть и҆ живо́тъ въ рꙋцѣ̀ ѧ҆зы́ка: ᲂу҆держава́ющїи же є҆го̀ снѣдѧ́тъ плоды̀ є҆гѡ̀. 22 И҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́те женꙋ̀ добрꙋ̀, ѡ҆брѣ́те благода́ть, прїѧ́лъ же є҆́сть ѿ гдⷭ҇а тишинꙋ̀. 23 И҆́же и҆згонѧ́етъ женꙋ̀ до́брꙋю, и҆згонѧ́етъ блага̑ѧ: держа́й же прелюбодѣ́йцꙋ безꙋ́менъ и҆ нечести́въ. 24 Съ молє́нїи глаго́летъ ᲂу҆бо́гїй, бога́тый же ѿвѣща́етъ же́стокѡ. 25 Мꙋ́жъ любо́венъ къ дрꙋ́жбѣ, и҆ є҆́сть дрꙋ́гъ прилѣпи́выйсѧ па́че бра́та.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 18:12 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapters 12–13)

    For that is true which is written, "Pride goeth before destruction, and before honor is humility;" that is to say, secret ruin precedes open ruin, while the former is not counted ruin.

  2. Quotes verse 18:21 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LI)

    Defile it not therefore, lest to thee also He say, "Though ye make many prayers, I will not hearken." Yea, and "in the power of the tongue are death and life;" and, "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." I bid thee then watch thy tongue more than the apple of thine …

  3. Quotes verse 18:21 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXIII)

    The hand of God he hath called the power of God: as hath been written in another place, "death and life are in the hands of the tongue." Hath the tongue hands?
