3 La integridad de los rectos los encaminará: mas destruirá á los pecadores la perversidad de ellos.
4 Wealth does not profit in a day of wrath, || And righteousness delivers from death.
4 No aprovecharán las riquezas en el día de la ira: mas la justicia librará de muerte.
5 The righteousness of the perfect makes his way right, || And by his wickedness the wicked fall.
5 La justicia del perfecto enderezará su camino: mas el impío por su impiedad caerá.
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, || And in mischief the treacherous are captured.
6 La justicia de los rectos los librará: mas los pecadores en su pecado serán presos.
7 In the death of a wicked man, hope perishes, || And the expectation of the iniquitous has been lost.

10 A city exults in the good of the righteous, || And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing.
10 En el bien de los justos la ciudad se alegra: mas cuando los impíos perecen, hay fiestas.
11 By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, || And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
11 Por la bendición de los rectos la ciudad será engrandecida: mas por la boca de los impíos ella será trastornada.
12 Whoever is despising his neighbor lacks heart, || And a man of understanding keeps silence.
12 El que carece de entendimiento, menosprecia á su prójimo: mas el hombre prudente calla.
13 A busybody is revealing secret counsel, || And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.

18 The wicked is getting a lying wage, || And whoever is sowing righteousness—a true reward.
18 El impío hace obra falsa: mas el que sembrare justicia, tendrá galardón firme.
19 Correctly [is] righteousness for life, || And whoever is pursuing evil—for his own death.
19 Como la justicia [es] para vida, así el que sigue el mal [es] para su muerte.
20 The perverse of heart are an abomination to YHWH, || And the perfect of the way [are] His delight.
20 Abominación son á Jehová los perversos de corazón: mas los perfectos de camino le son agradables.
21 Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, || And the seed of the righteous has escaped.
21 [Aunque llegue] la mano á la mano, el malo no quedará sin castigo: mas la simiente de los justos escapará.
22 A ring of gold in the nose of a sow—A beautiful woman and stubborn of behavior.
22 Zarcillo de oro en la nariz del puerco, [es] la mujer hermosa y apartada de razón.
23 The desire of the righteous [is] only good, || The hope of the wicked [is] transgression.
23 El deseo de los justos es solamente bien: [mas] la esperanza de los impíos es enojo.
24 There is [one] who is scattering, and yet is increased, || And [one] who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.
24 Hay quienes reparten, y les es añadido más: y hay quienes son escasos más de lo que es justo, mas vienen á pobreza.
25 A liberal soul is made fat, || And whoever is watering, he also is watered.
25 El alma liberal será engordada: y el que saciare, él también será saciado.
26 Whoever is withholding grain, the people execrate him, || And a blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling.
26 Al que retiene el grano, el pueblo lo maldecirá: mas bendición será sobre la cabeza del que vende.
27 Whoever is earnestly seeking good || Seeks a pleasing thing, || And whoever is seeking evil—it meets him.
27 El que madruga al bien, buscará favor: mas el que busca el mal, vendrále.
28 Whoever is confident in his wealth falls, || And as a leaf, the righteous flourish.
28 El que confía en sus riquezas, caerá: mas los justos reverdecerán como ramos.
29 Whoever is troubling his own house inherits wind, || And the fool [is] a servant to the wise of heart.
29 El que turba su casa heredará viento; y el necio será siervo del sabio de corazón.
30 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, || And whoever is taking souls [is] wise.
30 El fruto del justo es árbol de vida: y el que prende almas, es sabio.
