1 Proverbios de Salomón, hijo de David, rey de Israel: 2 para adquirir sabiduría y disciplina, para ayudar a comprender las palabras inteligentes; 3 para recibir instrucción, prudencia, justicia y equilibrio; 4 para infundir sagacidad a los inexpertos, conocimiento y madurez a los jóvenes. 5 El que es sabio y los escucha, adquiere mayor sabiduría, y el entendido recibe dirección 6 para entender los proverbios, los dichos de los sabios y sus enigmas. 7 Lo primero que hay que hacer para empezar a ser sabios, es honrar al Señor. Sólo los necios desprecian la sabiduría y la disciplina. 8 Hijo mío, escucha las correcciones de tu padre y no rechaces las enseñanzas de tu madre. 9 Lo que aprendas de ellos adornará tu cabeza como una corona, tu cuello como un collar. 10 Hijo mío, si los pecadores quieren engañarte, ¡no se los permitas! 11 Ellos te pueden decir: «Ven con nosotros; sólo por gusto atrapemos y matemos algún inocente cuando pase. 12 Nos tragaremos vivo a alguien, como el sepulcro se traga a los hombres que caen en él. 13 Obtendremos toda clase de riquezas; llenaremos nuestras casas con todo lo robado. 14 Ven, comparte tu suerte con nosotros; nos repartiremos todo lo que obtengamos». 15 ¡No les hagas caso, hijo mío! Apártate de sus caminos, 16 porque sus pies se apresuran hacia el mal; ¡tienen prisa por derramar sangre! 17 Cuando el pájaro ve que le ponen una trampa no se acerca, 18 pero estos hombres se meten en la trampa ellos mismos y acaban con su propia vida. 19 Así terminan los ambiciosos; esta ambición acaba con su vida. 20 La sabiduría levanta su voz en las calles y lugares públicos. 21 Clama por la calle principal, a la entrada de la ciudad: 22 «Jóvenes inexpertos, ¿hasta cuándo disfrutarán su inexperiencia, sus burlas y despreciarán el conocimiento? 23 Escuchen mis correcciones y yo les abriré mi corazón, para que conozcan mis pensamientos. 24 Repetidamente los he llamado y no quieren venir; les he tendido mi mano pero no me hacen caso. 25 Porque menospreciaron mi consejo y rechazaron mi corrección, 26 algún día van a estar en desgracia, y yo me reiré. Me burlaré de ustedes cuando estén llenos de miedo, 27 cuando el terror caiga sobre ustedes como una tormenta y los problemas y la angustia los arrastren como un torbellino. 28 Entonces ellos me llamarán, pero no les responderé; me buscarán ansiosos, pero no me encontrarán. 29 »Pues despreciaron la sabiduría y no quisieron honrar al Señor; 30 porque menospreciaron mi consejo y rechazaron mi corrección, 31 cosecharán el fruto de su conducta, se hartarán de sus malas intenciones, 32 los matará su desvío e inexperiencia, su despreocupación y necedad los destruirá. 33 Pero los que me escuchen vivirán en paz y seguridad, sin temor».

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 1:23–31 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters LIII–LVIII)

    For it is better for you that ye should occupy a humble but honourable place in the flock of Christ, than that, being highly exalted, ye should be cast out from the hope of His people. For thus speaketh all-virtuous Wisdom: "Behold, I will bring forth to you the words of My Spirit, and I will teach you My speech.

  2. Quotes verse 1:7 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XXII)

    Now, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;" the sense of sin leads to repentance, and God bestows His compassion upon those who are penitent.

  3. Quotes verse 1:11–13 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVII, Chapter 19)

    … what we read in the Proverbs of impious men saying, "Let us unrighteously hide in the earth the righteous man; yea, let us swallow him up alive as hell, and let us take away his memory from the earth: let us seize his precious possession," is not so obscure that it may not be understood, without laborious exposition, of Christ …

  4. Quotes verse 1:20 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapter XIX)

    … and therefore the "wisdom" of God, by means of which she saves all men, "is declared in [its] going forth; it uttereth [its voice] faithfully in the streets, is preached on the tops of the walls, and speaks continually in the gates of the city." For the Church preaches the truth everywhere, and she is the seven-branched candlestick which bears …

  5. Quotes verse 1:26 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XLIII)

    … by ought of their own; but that wisdom was in them, of which it is written in a certain book, she shall say to those that despised her, when they have fallen upon the evils which she threatened them; "I will laugh over your destruction." What wonder then is it, that the wise mock the foolish virgins?
