Proverbs 12 Clementine Vulgate
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 [Qui diligit disciplinam diligit scientiam; qui autem odit increpationes insipiens est.
1 EL que ama la corrección ama la sabiduría: mas el que aborrece la reprensión, es ignorante.
1 Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
2 Qui bonus est hauriet gratiam a Domino; qui autem confidit in cogitationibus suis impie agit.
2 El bueno alcanzará favor de Jehová: mas él condenará al hombre de malos pensamientos.
2 A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.
3 Non roborabitur homo ex impietate, et radix justorum non commovebitur.
3 El hombre no se afirmará por medio de la impiedad: mas la raíz de los justos no será movida.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 Mulier diligens corona est viro suo; et putredo in ossibus ejus, quæ confusione res dignas gerit.
4 La mujer virtuosa corona es de su marido: mas la mala, como carcoma en sus huesos.
4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
5 Cogitationes justorum judicia, et consilia impiorum fraudulenta.
5 Los pensamientos de los justos son rectitud; [mas] los consejos de los impíos, engaño.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 Verba impiorum insidiantur sanguini; os justorum liberabit eos.
6 Las palabras de los impíos son para acechar la sangre: mas la boca de los rectos los librará.
6 The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 Verte impios, et non erunt; domus autem justorum permanebit.
7 [Dios] trastornará á los impíos, y no serán más: mas la casa de los justos permanecerá.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 Doctrina sua noscetur vir; qui autem vanus et excors est patebit contemptui.
8 Según su sabiduría es alabado el hombre: mas el perverso de corazón será en menosprecio.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
9 Melior est pauper et sufficiens sibi quam gloriosus et indigens pane.
9 Mejor es el que es menospreciado y tiene servidores, que el que se precia, y carece de pan.
9 Better is he who is little known, and has a servant, than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
10 Novit justus jumentorum suorum animas; viscera autem impiorum crudelia.
10 El justo atiende á la vida de su bestia: mas las entrañas de los impíos son crueles.
10 A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus; qui autem sectatur otium stultissimus est. Qui suavis est in vini demorationibus, in suis munitionibus relinquit contumeliam.
11 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los vagabundos es falto de entendimiento.
11 He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.
12 Desiderium impii munimentum est pessimorum; radix autem justorum proficiet.]
12 Desea el impío la red de los malos: mas la raíz de los justos dará [fruto].
12 The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
13 [Propter peccata labiorum ruina proximat malo; effugiet autem justus de angustia.
13 El impío es enredado en la prevaricación de sus labios: mas el justo saldrá de la tribulación.
13 An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.
14 De fructu oris sui unusquisque replebitur bonis, et juxta opera manuum suarum retribuetur ei.
14 El hombre será harto de bien del fruto de su boca: y la paga de las manos del hombre le será dada.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.
15 Via stulti recta in oculis ejus; qui autem sapiens est audit consilia.
15 El camino del necio es derecho en su opinión: mas el que obedece al consejo es sabio.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.
16 Fatuus statim indicat iram suam; qui autem dissimulat injuriam callidus est.
16 El necio luego al punto da á conocer su ira: mas el que disimula la injuria es cuerdo.
16 A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
17 Qui quod novit loquitur, index justitiæ est; qui autem mentitur, testis est fraudulentus.
17 El que habla verdad, declara justicia; mas el testigo mentiroso, engaño.
17 He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
18 Est qui promittit, et quasi gladio pungitur conscientiæ: lingua autem sapientium sanitas est.
18 Hay quienes hablan como [dando] estocadas de espada: mas la lengua de los sabios es medicina.
18 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
19 Labium veritatis firmum erit in perpetuum; qui autem testis est repentinus, concinnat linguam mendacii.
19 El labio de verdad permanecerá para siempre: mas la lengua de mentira por un momento.
19 Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
20 Dolus in corde cogitantium mala; qui autem pacis ineunt consilia, sequitur eos gaudium.
20 Engaño hay en el corazón de los que piensan mal: mas alegría en el de los que piensan bien.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
21 Non contristabit justum quidquid ei acciderit: impii autem replebuntur malo.
21 Ninguna adversidad acontecerá al justo: mas los impíos serán llenos de mal.
21 No mischief shall happen to the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22 Abominatio est Domino labia mendacia; qui autem fideliter agunt placent ei.
22 Los labios mentirosos son abominación á Jehová: mas los obradores de verdad su contentamiento.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.
23 Homo versatus celat scientiam, et cor insipientium provocat stultitiam.]
23 El hombre cuerdo encubre la ciencia: mas el corazón de los necios publica la necedad.
23 A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
24 [Manus fortium dominabitur; quæ autem remissa est, tributis serviet.
24 La mano de los diligentes se enseñoreará: mas la negligencia será tributaria.
24 The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
25 Mœror in corde viri humiliabit illum, et sermone bono lætificabitur.
25 El cuidado congojoso en el corazón del hombre, lo abate; mas la buena palabra lo alegra.
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.
26 Qui negligit damnum propter amicum, justus est; iter autem impiorum decipiet eos.
26 El justo hace ventaja á su prójimo: mas el camino de los impíos les hace errar.
26 A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 Non inveniet fraudulentus lucrum, et substantia hominis erit auri pretium.
27 El indolente no chamuscará su caza: mas el haber precioso del hombre [es] la diligencia.
27 The slothful man doesn’t roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized.
28 In semita justitiæ vita; iter autem devium ducit ad mortem.]
28 En el camino de la justicia está la vida; y la senda de su vereda no es muerte.
28 In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death.

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 …
