WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Čovek samovoljan traži šta je njemu milo i meša se u svašta.
1 SEGÚN [su] antojo busca el que se desvía, y se entremete en todo negocio.
1 A man who isolates himself pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.
2 Bezumniku nije mio razum nego da se javlja srce njegovo.
2 No toma placer el necio en la inteligencia, sino en lo que su corazón se descubre.
2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.
3 Kad dođe bezbožnik, dođe i rug, i prekor sa sramotom.
3 Cuando viene el impío, viene también el menosprecio, y con el deshonrador la afrenta.
3 When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace.
4 Reči su iz usta čovečijih duboka voda, izvor je mudrosti potok koji se razliva.
4 Aguas profundas son las palabras de la boca del hombre; y arroyo revertiente, la fuente de la sabiduría.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.
5 Nije dobro gledati bezbožniku ko je, da se učini krivo pravom na sudu.
5 Tener respeto á la persona del impío, para hacer caer al justo de [su] derecho, no es bueno.
5 To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.
6 Usne bezumnikove pristaju u svađu, i usta njegova dozivaju boj.
6 Los labios del necio vienen con pleito; y su boca á cuestiones llama.
6 A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.
7 Bezumniku su usta njegova pogibao, i usne njegove pruglo duši njegovoj.
7 La boca del necio es quebrantamiento para sí, y sus labios son lazos para su alma.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 Reči su opadačeve kao izbijenih, ali silaze unutra u trbuh.
8 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas, y descienden hasta lo íntimo del vientre.
8 The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.
9 I ko je nemaran u poslu svom brat je raspikući.
9 También el que es negligente en su obra es hermano del hombre disipador.
9 One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10 Tvrda je kula ime Gospodnje. K Njemu će pobeći pravednik, i biće u visokom zaklonu.
10 Torre fuerte es el nombre de Jehová: á él correrá el justo, y será levantado.
10 Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.
11 Bogatstvo je bogatom jak grad i kao visok zid u njegovoj misli.
11 Las riquezas del rico son la ciudad de su fortaleza, y como un muro alto en su imaginación.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
12 Pred propast podiže se srce čoveka, a pre slave ide smernost.
12 Antes del quebrantamiento se eleva el corazón del hombre, y antes de la honra es el abatimiento.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.
13 Ko odgovara pre nego čuje, tome je ludost i sramota.
13 El que responde palabra antes de oir, le es fatuidad y oprobio.
13 He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.
14 Duh čovečiji snosi bol svoj; a duh oboren ko će podignuti?
14 El ánimo del hombre soportará su enfermedad: mas ¿quién soportará al ánimo angustiado?
14 A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?
15 Srce razumnog čoveka dobavlja znanje, i uho mudrih traži znanje.
15 El corazón del entendido adquiere sabiduría; y el oído de los sabios busca la ciencia.
15 The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 Dar čoveku širi mesto i vodi ga pred vlastelje.
16 El presente del hombre le ensancha [el camino], y le lleva delante de los grandes.
16 A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
17 Pravedan se čini ko je prvi u svojoj raspri, ali kad dođe bližnji njegov, ispituje se.
17 El primero en su propia causa [parece] justo; y su adversario viene, y le sondea.
17 He who pleads his cause first seems right— until another comes and questions him.
18 Raspre prekida žreb, i između silnih rasuđuje.
18 La suerte pone fin á los pleitos, y desparte los fuertes.
18 The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart.
19 Uvređen je brat kao tvrd grad, i svađa je kao prevornica na dvoru.
19 El hermano ofendido [es más tenaz] que una ciudad fuerte: y las contiendas [de los hermanos] son como cerrojos de alcázar.
19 A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city. Disputes are like the bars of a fortress.
20 Svakom se trbuh siti plodom usta njegovih, dohotkom od usna svojih siti se.
20 Del fruto de la boca del hombre se hartará su vientre; hartaráse del producto de sus labios.
20 A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.
21 Smrt je i život u vlasti jeziku, i ko ga miluje, ješće plod njegov.
21 La muerte y la vida están en poder de la lengua; y el que la ama comerá de sus frutos.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

23 The poor plead for mercy, but the rich answer harshly.
24 Ko ima prijatelja, valja da postupa prijateljski, jer ima prijatelja vernijih od brata.
24 El hombre [que tiene] amigos, ha de mostrarse amigo: y amigo hay más conjunto que el hermano.
24 A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

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).
For that is true which is written, "Pride goeth before destruction, and before honor is humility;" that is to say, secret ruin precedes open ruin, while the former is not counted ruin.

Defile it not therefore, lest to thee also He say, "Though ye make many prayers, I will not hearken." Yea, and "in the power of the tongue are death and life;" and, "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." I bid thee then watch thy tongue more than the apple of thine …

The hand of God he hath called the power of God: as hath been written in another place, "death and life are in the hands of the tongue." Hath the tongue hands?
