WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ο σοφός υιός δέχεται την διδασκαλίαν του πατρός· ο δε χλευαστής δεν ακούει έλεγχον.
1 EL hijo sabio [toma] el consejo del padre: mas el burlador no escucha las reprensiones.
1 A wise son listens to his father’s instruction, but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.
2 Εκ των καρπών του στόματος αυτού ο άνθρωπος θέλει φάγει αγαθά· η δε ψυχή των ανόμων αδικίαν.
2 Del fruto de su boca el hombre comerá bien: mas el alma de los prevaricadores [hallará] mal.
2 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence.
3 Ο φυλάττων το στόμα αυτού διαφυλάττει την ζωήν αυτού· ο δε ανοίγων προπετώς τα χείλη αυτού θέλει απολεσθή.
3 El que guarda su boca guarda su alma: mas el que mucho abre sus labios tendrá calamidad.
3 He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 Η ψυχή του οκνηρού επιθυμεί και δεν έχει· η δε ψυχή των επιμελών θέλει χορτασθή.
4 Desea, y nada [alcanza] el alma del perezoso: mas el alma de los diligentes será engordada.
4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
5 Ο δίκαιος μισεί λόγον ψευδή· ο δε ασεβής καθίσταται δυσώδης και άτιμος.
5 El justo aborrece la palabra de mentira: mas el impío se hace odioso é infame.
5 A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.
6 Η δικαιοσύνη φυλάττει τον τέλειον την οδόν· η δε ασέβεια καταστρέφει τον αμαρτωλόν.
6 La justicia guarda al de perfecto camino: mas la impiedad trastornará al pecador.
6 Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 Υπάρχει άνθρωπος όστις κάμνει τον πλούσιον, και δεν έχει ουδέν· και άλλος όστις κάμνει τον πτωχόν, και έχει πλούτον πολύν.
7 Hay quienes se hacen ricos, y no tienen nada: y hay quienes se hacen pobres, y tienen muchas riquezas.
7 There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
8 Το λύτρον της ψυχής του ανθρώπου είναι ο πλούτος αυτού· ο δε πτωχός δεν ακούει επίπληξιν.
8 La redención de la vida del hombre son sus riquezas: pero el pobre no oye censuras.
8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats.
9 Το φως των δικαίων είναι φαιδρόν· ο δε λύχνος των ασεβών θέλει σβεσθή.
9 La luz de los justos se alegrará: mas apagaráse la lámpara de los impíos.
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
10 Μόνον από της υπερηφανίας προέρχεται η έρις· η δε σοφία είναι μετά των δεχομένων συμβουλάς.
10 Ciertamente la soberbia parirá contienda: mas con los avisados es la sabiduría.
10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice.
11 Τα εκ ματαιότητος πλούτη θέλουσιν ελαττωθή· ο δε συνάγων με την χείρα αυτού θέλει αυξηνθή.
11 Disminuiránse las riquezas de vanidad: empero multiplicará el que allega con su mano.
11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
12 Η ελπίς αναβαλλομένη ατονίζει την καρδίαν· το δε ποθούμενον, όταν έρχηται, είναι δένδρον ζωής.
12 La esperanza que se prolonga, es tormento del corazón: mas árbol de vida es el deseo cumplido.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
13 Ο καταφρονών τον λόγον θέλει αφανισθή· ο δε φοβούμενος την εντολήν, ούτος θέλει ανταμειφθή.
13 El que menosprecia la palabra, perecerá por ello: mas el que teme el mandamiento, será recompensado.
13 Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded.

14 La ley del sabio es manantial de vida, para apartarse de los lazos de la muerte.
14 The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death.

15 El buen entendimiento conciliará gracia: mas el camino de los prevaricadores es duro.

16 Πας φρόνιμος πράττει μετά γνώσεως· ο δε άφρων ανακαλύπτει μωρίαν.
16 Todo hombre cuerdo obra con sabiduría: mas el necio manifestará necedad.
16 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly.
17 Ο κακός μηνυτής πίπτει εις δυστυχίαν· ο δε πιστός πρέσβυς είναι ίασις.
17 El mal mensajero caerá en mal: mas el mensajero fiel es medicina.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
18 Πτωχεία και αισχύνη θέλουσιν είσθαι εις τον αποβάλλοντα την διδασκαλίαν· ο δε φυλάττων τον έλεγχον θέλει τιμηθή.
18 Pobreza y vergüenza tendrá el que menosprecia el consejo: mas el que guarda la corrección, será honrado.
18 Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored.
19 Επιθυμία εκπληρωθείσα ευφραίνει την ψυχήν· εις δε τους άφρονας είναι βδελυρόν να εκκλίνωσιν από του κακού.
19 El deseo cumplido deleita el alma: pero apartarse del mal es abominación á los necios.
19 Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
20 Ο περιπατών μετά σοφών θέλει είσθαι σοφός· ο δε σύντροφος των αφρόνων θέλει απολεσθή.
20 El que anda con los sabios, sabio será; mas el que se allega á los necios, será quebrantado.
20 One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
21 Κακόν παρακολουθεί τους αμαρτωλούς· εις δε τους δικαίους θέλει ανταποδοθή καλόν.
21 Mal perseguirá á los pecadores: mas á los justos les será bien retribuído.
21 Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.
22 Ο αγαθός αφίνει κληρονομίαν εις υιούς υιών· ο πλούτος δε του αμαρτωλού θησαυρίζεται διά τον δίκαιον.
22 El bueno dejará herederos á los hijos de los hijos; y el haber del pecador, para el justo está guardado.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.
23 Πολλήν τροφήν δίδει ο αγρός των πτωχών· τινές δε δι' έλλειψιν κρίσεως αφανίζονται.
23 En el barbecho de los pobres [hay] mucho pan: mas piérdese por falta de juicio.
23 An abundance of food is in poor people’s fields, but injustice sweeps it away.
24 Ο φειδόμενος της ράβδου αυτού μισεί τον υιόν αυτού· αλλ' ο αγαπών αυτόν παιδεύει αυτόν εν καιρώ.
24 El que detiene el castigo, á su hijo aborrece: mas el que lo ama, madruga á castigarlo.
24 One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
25 Ο δίκαιος τρώγει μέχρι χορτασμού της ψυχής αυτού· η δε κοιλία των ασεβών θέλει στερείσθαι.
25 El justo come hasta saciar su alma: mas el vientre de los impíos tendrá necesidad.
25 The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.

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).
No one will contradict this; least of all he who looks for celestial light as one of the rewards promised to virtue, the light which, as Solomon says, is always a light to the righteous, the light which made the Apostle say "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the …
