1 [Ne æmuleris viros malos, nec desideres esse cum eis: 2 quia rapinas meditatur mens eorum, et fraudes labia eorum loquuntur. 3 Sapientia ædificabitur domus, et prudentia roborabitur. 4 In doctrina replebuntur cellaria, universa substantia pretiosa et pulcherrima. 5 Vir sapiens fortis est, et vir doctus robustus et validus: 6 quia cum dispositione initur bellum, et erit salus ubi multa consilia sunt. 7 Excelsa stulto sapientia; in porta non aperiet os suum. 8 Qui cogitat mala facere stultus vocabitur: 9 cogitatio stulti peccatum est, et abominatio hominum detractor. 10 Si desperaveris lassus in die angustiæ, imminuetur fortitudo tua.] 11 [Erue eos qui ducuntur ad mortem, et qui trahuntur ad interitum, liberare ne cesses. 12 Si dixeris: Vires non suppetunt; qui inspector est cordis ipse intelligit: et servatorem animæ tuæ nihil fallit, reddetque homini juxta opera sua. 13 Comede, fili mi, mel, quia bonum est, et favum dulcissimum gutturi tuo. 14 Sic et doctrina sapientiæ animæ tuæ: quam cum inveneris, habebis in novissimis spem, et spes tua non peribit. 15 Ne insidieris, et quæras impietatem in domo justi, neque vastes requiem ejus. 16 Septies enim cadet justus, et resurget: impii autem corruent in malum. 17 Cum ceciderit inimicus tuus ne gaudeas, et in ruina ejus ne exsultet cor tuum: 18 ne forte videat Dominus, et displiceat ei, et auferat ab eo iram suam. 19 Ne contendas cum pessimis, nec æmuleris impios: 20 quoniam non habent futurorum spem mali, et lucerna impiorum extinguetur. 21 Time Dominum, fili mi, et regem, et cum detractoribus non commiscearis: 22 quoniam repente consurget perditio eorum, et ruinam utriusque quis novit?] 23 Hæc quoque sapientibus. [Cognoscere personam in judicio non est bonum. 24 Qui dicunt impio: Justus es: maledicent eis populi, et detestabuntur eos tribus. 25 Qui arguunt eum laudabuntur, et super ipsos veniet benedictio. 26 Labia deosculabitur qui recta verba respondet. 27 Præpara foris opus tuum, et diligenter exerce agrum tuum, ut postea ædifices domum tuam. 28 Ne sis testis frustra contra proximum tuum, nec lactes quemquam labiis tuis. 29 Ne dicas: Quomodo fecit mihi, sic faciam ei; reddam unicuique secundum opus suum.] 30 [Per agrum hominis pigri transivi, et per vineam viri stulti: 31 et ecce totum repleverant urticæ, et operuerant superficiem ejus spinæ, et maceria lapidum destructa erat. 32 Quod cum vidissem, posui in corde meo, et exemplo didici disciplinam. 33 Parum, inquam, dormies, modicum dormitabis; pauxillum manus conseres ut quiescas: 34 et veniet tibi quasi cursor egestas, et mendicitas quasi vir armatus.]

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).

  1. Quotes verse 24:16 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XI, Chapters 30–33)

    On this account it is often put for all numbers together, as, "A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again," --that is, let him fall never so often, he will not perish (and this was meant to be understood not of sins, but of afflictions conducing to lowliness).

  2. Quotes verse 24:16 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXIX)

    For no other reason it was said, "a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:" that is, the just man perisheth not, though brought low in every way, yet not induced to transgress, otherwise he will not be just.

  3. Quotes verse 24:16 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CXLV)

    But "God strengtheneth." For "the just falleth seven times, and riseth again; but the wicked shall be weakened in evils." When evils befall the wicked, they are weakened thereby; when evils befall the righteous, "the Lord strengtheneth all that are falling."..."And lifteth up all those that have been cast down:" all, that is, who belong to him; for "God resisteth …
