Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but the one who hates correction is stupid.
1 EL que ama la corrección ama la sabiduría: mas el que aborrece la reprensión, es ignorante.
2 Yahweh gives favor to a good man, but he condemns a man who makes evil plans.
2 El bueno alcanzará favor de Jehová: mas él condenará al hombre de malos pensamientos.
3 A person cannot be established by wickedness, but righteous people cannot be uprooted.
3 El hombre no se afirmará por medio de la impiedad: mas la raíz de los justos no será movida.
4 A worthy wife is her husband's crown, but she who brings shame is like a disease that rots his bones.
4 La mujer virtuosa corona es de su marido: mas la mala, como carcoma en sus huesos.
5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
5 Los pensamientos de los justos son rectitud; [mas] los consejos de los impíos, engaño.
6 The words of wicked people are an ambush waiting for a chance to kill, but the words of the upright keep them safe.
6 Las palabras de los impíos son para acechar la sangre: mas la boca de los rectos los librará.
7 Wicked people are overthrown and they are gone, but the house of the righteous person will stand.
7 [Dios] trastornará á los impíos, y no serán más: mas la casa de los justos permanecerá.
8 A person is praised by how much wisdom he has, but the one who makes perverse choices is despised.
8 Según su sabiduría es alabado el hombre: mas el perverso de corazón será en menosprecio.
9 Better to have an unimportant position—only being a servant— than to brag about your importance but have no food.
9 Mejor es el que es menospreciado y tiene servidores, que el que se precia, y carece de pan.
10 The righteous person cares about the needs of his animal, but even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
10 El justo atiende á la vida de su bestia: mas las entrañas de los impíos son crueles.
11 The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases after worthless projects has no sense.
11 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los vagabundos es falto de entendimiento.
12 The wicked person desires what evil men have stolen from others, but the fruit of righteous people comes from themselves.
12 Desea el impío la red de los malos: mas la raíz de los justos dará [fruto].
13 An evil person is trapped by his wicked talk, but the righteous person escapes from trouble.
13 El impío es enredado en la prevaricación de sus labios: mas el justo saldrá de la tribulación.
14 From the fruit of his words a person is filled with good things, just as the work of his hands rewards him.
14 El hombre será harto de bien del fruto de su boca: y la paga de las manos del hombre le será dada.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
15 El camino del necio es derecho en su opinión: mas el que obedece al consejo es sabio.
16 A fool shows his anger at once, but one who ignores an insult is prudent.
16 El necio luego al punto da á conocer su ira: mas el que disimula la injuria es cuerdo.
17 The one who speaks the truth says what is right, but a false witness tells lies.
17 El que habla verdad, declara justicia; mas el testigo mentiroso, engaño.
18 The words of one who speaks rashly are like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
18 Hay quienes hablan como [dando] estocadas de espada: mas la lengua de los sabios es medicina.
19 Truthful lips last forever, but a lying tongue is only for a moment.
19 El labio de verdad permanecerá para siempre: mas la lengua de mentira por un momento.
20 There is deceit in the hearts of those who plan to do evil, but joy comes to the advisors of peace.
20 Engaño hay en el corazón de los que piensan mal: mas alegría en el de los que piensan bien.
21 No ill comes on the righteous person, but wicked people are filled with difficulties.
21 Ninguna adversidad acontecerá al justo: mas los impíos serán llenos de mal.
22 Yahweh hates lying lips, but those who live faithfully are his delight.
22 Los labios mentirosos son abominación á Jehová: mas los obradores de verdad su contentamiento.
23 A prudent man conceals his knowledge, but the heart of fools shouts out folly.
23 El hombre cuerdo encubre la ciencia: mas el corazón de los necios publica la necedad.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule, but lazy people will be put to forced labor.
24 La mano de los diligentes se enseñoreará: mas la negligencia será tributaria.
25 Anxiety in the heart of a person weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
25 El cuidado congojoso en el corazón del hombre, lo abate; mas la buena palabra lo alegra.
26 The righteous person is a guide for his friend, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
26 El justo hace ventaja á su prójimo: mas el camino de los impíos les hace errar.
27 Lazy people would not roast their own game, but the diligent man will obtain precious wealth.
27 El indolente no chamuscará su caza: mas el haber precioso del hombre [es] la diligencia.
28 Those who walk in the right way find life and in its path there is no death.
28 En el camino de la justicia está la vida; y la senda de su vereda no es muerte.

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).
… God, knowing the denseness of the Israelites and their carnal love and propensity towards matter in everything, made this law: first, in order that the servant and the cattle should rest as it is written, for the righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: next, in order that when they take their ease from the distraction of material …
