1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness 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 casteth away the substance 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 He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame.
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 just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
6 Bendiciones sobre la cabeza del justo: mas violencia cubrirá la boca de los impíos.
7 The memory of the just [is] blessed: 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 surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
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: but a prating fool shall fall.
10 El que guiña del ojo acarrea tristeza; y el loco de labios será castigado.
11 The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
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 sins.
12 El odio despierta rencillas: mas la caridad cubrirá todas las faltas.
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding 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] near destruction.
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 destruction 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 labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to 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 keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
17 Camino á la vida es guardar la corrección: mas el que deja la reprensión, yerra.
18 He that hideth hatred [with] 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 sin: 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 just [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 fools die for want of wisdom.
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 he addeth no sorrow with it.
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 mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
23 Hacer abominación es como risa al insensato: mas el hombre entendido sabe.
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but 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 As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked 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 [shall be] 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] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] 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 removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
30 El justo eternalmente no será removido: mas los impíos no habitarán la tierra.
31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
31 La boca del justo producirá sabiduría: mas la lengua perversa será cortada.

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.
