1 Hijo mío, si saliste fiador por tu prójimo, Si empeñaste tu palabra a un extraño, 2 Si te enredaste con tus palabras, Y quedaste atrapado con los dichos de tu boca, 3 Haz esto ahora, hijo mío, y líbrate. Ya que caíste en las manos de tu prójimo: Vé, humíllate e importuna a tu prójimo. 4 No concedas sueño a tus ojos, Ni adormecimiento a tus párpados. 5 Líbrate como gacela de la mano [del cazador], Como un ave de la trampa. 6 Mira a la hormiga, oh perezoso, Observa sus caminos y sé sabio, 7 La cual, sin tener jefe, Ni gobernador, ni soberano, 8 Prepara en el verano su comida. En el tiempo de la cosecha guarda su sustento. 9 ¿Hasta cuándo estarás acostado, oh perezoso? ¿Cuándo te levantarás de tu sueño? 10 Un rato duermes, otro dormitas, Un rato cruzas los brazos y descansas. 11 Te llega la miseria como un vagabundo, Y tu necesidad como un hombre armado. 12 Hombre depravado es el hombre inicuo, Que anda en la perversidad de su boca, 13 Guiña con un ojo, menea los pies, Hace señas con los dedos. 14 En su corazón hay perversidades, Maquina maldades, y continuamente busca rencillas. 15 Por tanto, su calamidad vendrá de repente. Súbitamente será quebrantado y no habrá remedio. 16 Seis [cosas] aborrece Yavé, Y aun siete repugna su alma: 17 Ojos altivos, boca mentirosa, Manos que derraman sangre inocente, 18 Corazón que maquina planes perversos, Pies presurosos para correr al mal, 19 Testigo falso que habla mentiras, Y el que enciende discordias entre sus hermanos. 20 Hijo mío, guarda el mandamiento de tu padre, Y no abandones la instrucción de tu madre. 21 Átalos continuamente a tu corazón, Enlázalos en torno a tu cuello. 22 Cuando camines, te guiarán. Cuando duermas, te protegerán. Hablarán contigo al despertar. 23 Porque el mandamiento es lámpara, La enseñanza es luz Y camino de vida las reprensiones de la instrucción. 24 Te guardarán de la mala mujer, De la blandura de la boca de la mujer extraña. 25 No codicies en tu corazón su hermosura, Ni dejes que te cautive con sus párpados. 26 Porque si la prostituta busca una hogaza de pan, La adúltera caza una vida preciosa. 27 ¿Tomará el hombre fuego en su seno, Sin que ardan sus ropas? 28 ¿Andará un hombre sobre brasas, Sin que se quemen sus pies? 29 Así sucederá con el que se une a la mujer de su prójimo. Ninguno que la toque quedará impune. 30 ¿No desprecian al ladrón aunque robe Para llenar su estómago cuando tiene hambre? 31 Si es sorprendido, tiene que pagar siete veces Y entregar todo lo que tiene en su casa. 32 Pues el adúltero es hombre sin cordura, Destructor de sí mismo es el que lo hace. 33 Heridas y deshonra hallará, Y su afrenta no será borrada. 34 Porque los celos son la ira del hombre. En el día de la venganza no perdonará, 35 Ni aceptará algún rescate. No se aplacará aunque ofrezcas muchos regalos.

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).

    … minds of the Romans, demanded for her service their best citizen, not to ripen him still more in virtue by her helpful counsel, but to entangle him by her deceit, like her of whom it is written, "The adulteress will hunt for the precious soul." Her intent was to puff up this high- souled man by an apparently divine testimony …

    For ye know how great a thing jealousy is: and therefore He said, to whom these things are clearly known, "For full of jealousy is the rage of a husband;" "he will not spare in the day of vengeance:" and "jealousy is cruel as the grave."

    Be therefore prudent, copy the ant, as saith the Scripture: "Store in summer, lest thou hunger in winter;" the winter is the last day, the day of tribulation; the winter is the day of offences and of bitterness: gather what may be there for thee for the future: but if thou doest not so, thou wilt perish both imprudent and …

    … send unto Kedar, and know if nations will change their gods; which yet are no gods." And to the brutes likewise He sends us oftentimes, saying on this wise, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, and emulate her ways:" and "go forth to the bee." This therefore I also now say unto you; consider the philosophers of the Greeks; and …
