1 [Quando sederis ut comedas cum principe, diligenter attende quæ apposita sunt ante faciem tuam. 2 Et statue cultrum in gutture tuo: si tamen habes in potestate animam tuam. 3 Ne desideres de cibis ejus, in quo est panis mendacii. 4 Noli laborare ut diteris, sed prudentiæ tuæ pone modum. 5 Ne erigas oculos tuos ad opes quas non potes habere, quia facient sibi pennas quasi aquilæ, et volabunt in cælum. 6 Ne comedas cum homine invido, et ne desideres cibos ejus: 7 quoniam in similitudinem arioli et conjectoris æstimat quod ignorat. Comede et bibe, dicet tibi; et mens ejus non est tecum. 8 Cibos quos comederas evomes, et perdes pulchros sermones tuos. 9 In auribus insipientium ne loquaris, qui despicient doctrinam eloquii tui. 10 Ne attingas parvulorum terminos, et agrum pupillorum ne introëas: 11 propinquus enim illorum fortis est, et ipse judicabit contra te causam illorum.] 12 [Ingrediatur ad doctrinam cor tuum, et aures tuæ ad verba scientiæ. 13 Noli subtrahere a puero disciplinam: si enim percusseris eum virga, non morietur. 14 Tu virga percuties eum, et animam ejus de inferno liberabis. 15 Fili mi, si sapiens fuerit animus tuus, gaudebit tecum cor meum: 16 et exsultabunt renes mei, cum locuta fuerint rectum labia tua. 17 Non æmuletur cor tuum peccatores, sed in timore Domini esto tota die: 18 quia habebis spem in novissimo, et præstolatio tua non auferetur. 19 Audi, fili mi, et esto sapiens, et dirige in via animum tuum. 20 Noli esse in conviviis potatorum, nec in comessationibus eorum qui carnes ad vescendum conferunt: 21 quia vacantes potibus et dantes symbola consumentur, et vestietur pannis dormitatio. 22 Audi patrem tuum, qui genuit te, et ne contemnas cum senuerit mater tua. 23 Veritatem eme, et noli vendere sapientiam, et doctrinam, et intelligentiam. 24 Exsultat gaudio pater justi; qui sapientem genuit, lætabitur in eo. 25 Gaudeat pater tuus et mater tua, et exsultet quæ genuit te. 26 Præbe, fili mi, cor tuum mihi, et oculi tui vias meas custodiant. 27 Fovea enim profunda est meretrix, et puteus angustus aliena. 28 Insidiatur in via quasi latro, et quos incautos viderit, interficiet.] 29 [Cui væ? cujus patri væ? cui rixæ? cui foveæ? cui sine causa vulnera? cui suffusio oculorum? 30 nonne his qui commorantur in vino, et student calicibus epotandis? 31 Ne intuearis vinum quando flavescit, cum splenduerit in vitro color ejus: ingreditur blande, 32 sed in novissimo mordebit ut coluber, et sicut regulus venena diffundet. 33 Oculi tui videbunt extraneas, et cor tuum loquetur perversa. 34 Et eris sicut dormiens in medio mari, et quasi sopitus gubernator, amisso clavo. 35 Et dices: Verberaverunt me, sed non dolui; traxerunt me, et ego non sensi. Quando evigilabo, et rursus vina reperiam?]

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).
