1 Неверные весы - мерзость пред Господом, но правильный вес угоден Ему.
1 A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight.
2 Придет гордость, придет и посрамление; но со смиренными - мудрость. [Праведник, умирая, оставляет сожаление; но внезапна и радостна бывает погибель нечестивых.]
2 When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
3 Непорочность прямодушных будет руководить их, а лукавство коварных погубит их.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
4 Не поможет богатство в день гнева, правда же спасет от смерти.
4 Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
5 Правда непорочного уравнивает путь его, а нечестивый падет от нечестия своего.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 Правда прямодушных спасет их, а беззаконники будут уловлены беззаконием своим.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
7 Со смертью человека нечестивого исчезает надежда, и ожидание беззаконных погибает.
7 When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
8 Праведник спасается от беды, а вместо него попадает в нее нечестивый.
8 A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
9 Устами лицемер губит ближнего своего, но праведники прозорливостью спасаются.
9 With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
10 При благоденствии праведников веселится город, и при погибели нечестивых бывает торжество.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 Благословением праведных возвышается город, а устами нечестивых разрушается.
11 By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 Скудоумный высказывает презрение к ближнему своему; но разумный человек молчит.
12 One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
13 Кто ходит переносчиком, тот открывает тайну; но верный человек таит дело.
13 One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
14 При недостатке попечения падает народ, а при многих советниках благоденствует.

17 The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18 Нечестивый делает дело ненадежное, а сеющему правду - награда верная.
18 Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19 Праведность ведет к жизни, а стремящийся к злу стремится к смерти своей.
19 He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
20 Мерзость пред Господом - коварные сердцем; но благоугодны Ему непорочные в пути.
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
21 Можно поручиться, что порочный не останется ненаказанным; семя же праведных спасется.
21 Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
22 Что золотое кольцо в носу у свиньи, то женщина красивая и - безрассудная.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23 Желание праведных есть одно добро, ожидание нечестивых - гнев.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 Иной сыплет щедро, и ему еще прибавляется; а другой сверх меры бережлив, и однако же беднеет.
24 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
25 Благотворительная душа будет насыщена, и кто напояет других, тот и сам напоен будет.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
26 Кто удерживает у себя хлеб, того клянет народ; а на голове продающего - благословение.

27 Кто стремится к добру, тот ищет благоволения; а кто ищет зла, к тому оно и приходит.
27 He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
28 Надеющийся на богатство свое упадет; а праведники, как лист, будут зеленеть.
28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
29 Расстроивающий дом свой получит в удел ветер, и глупый будет рабом мудрого сердцем.
29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

“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).
… To which he added this testimony: "For if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?" How then shall the wicked be with Thee, if Thou dost not even spare Thy faithful, in order that Thou mayest exercise and teach them?
