Notes on this text (1)
- Numbers like (22-2) in the text give the Hebrew verse numbering where it differs.
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
1 Las sentencias de Salomón. EL hijo sabio alegra al padre; y el hijo necio es tristeza de su madre.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.
2 Los tesoros de maldad no serán de provecho: mas la justicia libra de muerte.
3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
3 Jehová no dejará hambrear el alma del justo: mas la iniquidad lanzará á los impíos.
4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
4 La mano negligente hace pobre: mas la mano de los diligentes enriquece.
5 A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.
5 El que recoge en el estío es hombre entendido: el que duerme en el tiempo de la siega es hombre afrentoso.
6 Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
6 Bendiciones sobre la cabeza del justo: mas violencia cubrirá la boca de los impíos.
7 The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.
7 La memoria del justo será bendita: mas el nombre de los impíos se pudrirá.
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.
8 El sabio de corazón recibirá los mandamientos: mas el loco de labios caerá.
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.
9 El que camina en integridad, anda confiado: mas el que pervierte sus caminos, será quebrantado.
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.
10 El que guiña del ojo acarrea tristeza; y el loco de labios será castigado.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
11 Vena de vida es la boca del justo: mas violencia cubrirá la boca de los impíos.
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.
12 El odio despierta rencillas: mas la caridad cubrirá todas las faltas.
13 In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
13 En los labios del prudente se halla sabiduría: y vara á las espaldas del falto de cordura.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.
14 Los sabios guardan la sabiduría: mas la boca del loco es calamidad cercana.
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
15 Las riquezas del rico son su ciudad fuerte; y el desmayo de los pobres es su pobreza.
16 The wages of the righteous is life; the increase of the wicked is sin.
16 La obra del justo [es] para vida; mas el fruto del impío [es] para pecado.
17 He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction; but he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
17 Camino á la vida es guardar la corrección: mas el que deja la reprensión, yerra.
18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
18 El que encubre el odio es de labios mentirosos; y el que echa mala fama es necio.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
19 En las muchas palabras no falta pecado: mas el que refrena sus labios es prudente.
20 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.
20 Plata escogida es la lengua del justo: mas el entendimiento de los impíos es como nada.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many; but the foolish die for want of understanding.
21 Los labios del justo apacientan á muchos: mas los necios por falta de entendimiento mueren.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto.
22 La bendición de Jehová es la que enriquece, y no añade tristeza con ella.
23 It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness, and so is wisdom to a man of discernment.
23 Hacer abominación es como risa al insensato: mas el hombre entendido sabe.
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; and the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
24 Lo que el impío teme, eso le vendrá: mas á los justos les será dado lo que desean.
25 When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
25 Como pasa el torbellino, así el malo no permanece: mas el justo, fundado para siempre.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
26 Como el vinagre á los dientes, y como el humo á los ojos, así es el perezoso á los que lo envían.
27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
27 El temor de Jehová aumentará los días: mas los años de los impíos serán acortados.
28 The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
28 La esperanza de los justos [es] alegría; mas la esperanza de los impíos perecerá.
29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.
29 Fortaleza es al perfecto el camino de Jehová: mas espanto es á los que obran maldad.
30 The righteous shall never be moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the land.
30 El justo eternalmente no será removido: mas los impíos no habitarán la tierra.
31 The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom; but the froward tongue shall be cut off.
31 La boca del justo producirá sabiduría: mas la lengua perversa será cortada.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.
32 Los labios del justo conocerán lo que agrada: mas la boca de los impíos [habla] perversidades.

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).
But since this is so, what is that which Solomon says, and which we heard first to-day out of another lesson, "He that winketh with the eyes deceitfully, heapeth sorrow upon men; but he that reproveth openly, maketh peace"? If then "he that reproveth openly, maketh peace;" how "rebuke him between him and thee alone"?

It is not I that say: hear the Scripture: "As a sour grape is vexation to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is unrighteousness to them that use it." For he that shall have eaten unrighteousness, that is, he that shall have had unrighteousness wilfully, shall not be able to eat righteousness.
