Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.
1 EL que ama la corrección ama la sabiduría: mas el que aborrece la reprensión, es ignorante.
2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
2 El bueno alcanzará favor de Jehová: mas él condenará al hombre de malos pensamientos.
3 Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.
3 El hombre no se afirmará por medio de la impiedad: mas la raíz de los justos no será movida.
4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.
4 La mujer virtuosa corona es de su marido: mas la mala, como carcoma en sus huesos.
5 The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
5 Los pensamientos de los justos son rectitud; [mas] los consejos de los impíos, engaño.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.
6 Las palabras de los impíos son para acechar la sangre: mas la boca de los rectos los librará.
7 Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.
7 [Dios] trastornará á los impíos, y no serán más: mas la casa de los justos permanecerá.
8 A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
8 Según su sabiduría es alabado el hombre: mas el perverso de corazón será en menosprecio.
9 Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
9 Mejor es el que es menospreciado y tiene servidores, que el que se precia, y carece de pan.
10 The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
10 El justo atiende á la vida de su bestia: mas las entrañas de los impíos son crueles.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
11 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los vagabundos es falto de entendimiento.
12 The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
12 Desea el impío la red de los malos: mas la raíz de los justos dará [fruto].
13 For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
13 El impío es enredado en la prevaricación de sus labios: mas el justo saldrá de la tribulación.
14 By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
14 El hombre será harto de bien del fruto de su boca: y la paga de las manos del hombre le será dada.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.
15 El camino del necio es derecho en su opinión: mas el que obedece al consejo es sabio.
16 A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.
16 El necio luego al punto da á conocer su ira: mas el que disimula la injuria es cuerdo.
17 He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.
17 El que habla verdad, declara justicia; mas el testigo mentiroso, engaño.
18 There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.
18 Hay quienes hablan como [dando] estocadas de espada: mas la lengua de los sabios es medicina.
19 The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.
19 El labio de verdad permanecerá para siempre: mas la lengua de mentira por un momento.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.
20 Engaño hay en el corazón de los que piensan mal: mas alegría en el de los que piensan bien.
21 Whatsoever shall befall the just man. it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
21 Ninguna adversidad acontecerá al justo: mas los impíos serán llenos de mal.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully please him.
22 Los labios mentirosos son abominación á Jehová: mas los obradores de verdad su contentamiento.
23 A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.
23 El hombre cuerdo encubre la ciencia: mas el corazón de los necios publica la necedad.
24 The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.
24 La mano de los diligentes se enseñoreará: mas la negligencia será tributaria.
25 Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.
25 El cuidado congojoso en el corazón del hombre, lo abate; mas la buena palabra lo alegra.
26 He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.
26 El justo hace ventaja á su prójimo: mas el camino de los impíos les hace errar.
27 The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.
27 El indolente no chamuscará su caza: mas el haber precioso del hombre [es] la diligencia.
28 In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.
28 En el camino de la justicia está la vida; y la senda de su vereda no es muerte.

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).
… God, knowing the denseness of the Israelites and their carnal love and propensity towards matter in everything, made this law: first, in order that the servant and the cattle should rest as it is written, for the righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: next, in order that when they take their ease from the distraction of material …
