Synodal Russian Synodal Bible (1876)

1 Человеку принадлежат предположения сердца, но от Господа ответ языка.
1 The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Мерзость пред Господом всякий надменный сердцем; можно поручиться, что он не останется ненаказанным. [Начало доброго пути - делать правду; это угоднее пред Богом, нежели приносить жертвы. Ищущий Господа найдет знание с правдою; истинно ищущие Его найдут мир.]
5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh; they shall certainly not be unpunished.
6 Милосердием и правдою очищается грех, и страх Господень отводит от зла.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
7 Когда Господу угодны пути человека, Он и врагов его примиряет с ним.
7 When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Лучше немногое с правдою, нежели множество прибытков с неправдою.
8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.

12 Мерзость для царей - дело беззаконное, потому что правдою утверждается престол.
12 It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
13 Приятны царю уста правдивые, и говорящего истину он любит.
13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
14 Царский гнев - вестник смерти; но мудрый человек умилостивит его.
14 The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
15 В светлом взоре царя - жизнь, и благоволение его - как облако с поздним дождем.
15 In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
16 Приобретение мудрости гораздо лучше золота, и приобретение разума предпочтительнее отборного серебра.

23 Сердце мудрого делает язык его мудрым и умножает знание в устах его.
23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
24 Приятная речь - сотовый мед, сладка для души и целебна для костей.

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).
