WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Od mrtvih muva usmrdi se i pokvari ulje apotekarsko, tako od malo ludosti cena mudrosti i slavi.
1 Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
2 Srce je mudrom s desne strane, a ludom je s leve strane.
2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Bezumnik i kad ide putem, bez razuma je i kazuje svima da je bezuman.
3 Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
4 Ako se podigne na te gnev onog koji vlada, ne ostavljaj mesto svoje, jer blagost uklanja velike grehe.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
5 Ima zlo koje videh pod suncem, kao pogreška koja dolazi od vladaoca:
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.
6 Ludost se posađuje na najviše mesto, i bogati sede na niskom mestu.
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
7 Videh sluge na konjima, a knezovi idu pešice, kao sluge.
7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth.
8 Ko jamu kopa, u nju će pasti, i ko razvaljuje ogradu, uješće ga zmija.
8 He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
9 Ko odmiče kamenje, udariće se o njih, ko cepa drva, nije miran od njih.
9 Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered by it.
10 Kad se zatupi gvožđe i oštrice mu se ne naoštre, tada treba više snage; ali mudrost može bolje popraviti.
10 If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
11 Ako ujede zmija pre bajanja, ništa neće pomoći bajač.
11 If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
12 Reči iz usta mudrog ljupke su, a bezumnog proždiru usne njegove.
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
13 Početak je rečima usta njegovih ludost, a svršetak govoru njegovom zlo bezumlje.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14 Jer ludi mnogo govori, a čovek ne zna šta će biti; i ko će mu kazati šta će posle njega biti?
14 A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
15 Lude mori trud njihov, jer ne znaju ni u grad otići.
15 The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
16 Teško tebi, zemljo, kad ti je car dete i knezovi tvoji rano jedu!
16 Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
17 Blago tebi, zemljo, kad ti je car plemenit i knezovi tvoji jedu na vreme da se potkrepe, a ne da se opiju.
17 Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
18 S lenjosti ugiblje se krov i s nemarnih ruku prokapljuje kuća.
18 By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
19 Radi veselja gotove se gozbe, i vino veseli žive, a novci vrše sve.
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
20 Ni u misli svojoj ne psuj cara, ni u kleti, u kojoj spavaš, ne psuj bogatog, jer ptica nebeska odneće glas i šta krila ima dokazaće reč.
20 Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.

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).
Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in season, in fortitude, and not in confusion!" He has called the devil a youth, because of the folly and pride, and rashness and unruliness, and other vices which are wont to abound at that age; but Christ is the Son of nobles, …
