1 Verba Congregantis, filii Vomentis. Visio quam locutus est vir cum quo est Deus, et qui Deo secum morante confortatus, ait: 2 [Stultissimus sum virorum, et sapientia hominum non est mecum. 3 Non didici sapientiam, et non novi scientiam sanctorum. 4 Quis ascendit in cælum, atque descendit? quis continuit spiritum in manibus suis? quis colligavit aquas quasi in vestimento? quis suscitavit omnes terminos terræ? quod nomen est ejus, et quod nomen filii ejus, si nosti? 5 Omnis sermo Dei ignitus: clypeus est sperantibus in se. 6 Ne addas quidquam verbis illius, et arguaris, inveniarisque mendax. 7 Duo rogavi te: ne deneges mihi antequam moriar: 8 vanitatem et verba mendacia longe fac a me; mendicitatem et divitias ne dederis mihi: tribue tantum victui meo necessaria, 9 ne forte satiatus illiciar ad negandum, et dicam: Quis est Dominus? aut egestate compulsus, furer, et perjurem nomen Dei mei. 10 Ne accuses servum ad dominum suum, ne forte maledicat tibi, et corruas.] 11 [Generatio quæ patri suo maledicit, et quæ matri suæ non benedicit; 12 generatio quæ sibi munda videtur, et tamen non est lota a sordibus suis; 13 generatio cujus excelsi sunt oculi, et palpebræ ejus in alta surrectæ; 14 generatio quæ pro dentibus gladios habet, et commandit molaribus suis, ut comedat inopes de terra, et pauperes ex hominibus. 15 Sanguisugæ duæ sunt filiæ, dicentes: Affer, affer. Tria sunt insaturabilia, et quartum quod numquam dicit: Sufficit. 16 Infernus, et os vulvæ, et terra quæ non satiatur aqua: ignis vero numquam dicit: Sufficit. 17 Oculum qui subsannat patrem, et qui despicit partum matris suæ, effodiant eum corvi de torrentibus, et comedant eum filii aquilæ !] 18 [Tria sunt difficilia mihi, et quartum penitus ignoro: 19 viam aquilæ in cælo, viam colubri super petram, viam navis in medio mari, et viam viri in adolescentia. 20 Talis est et via mulieris adulteræ, quæ comedit, et tergens os suum dicit: Non sum operata malum. 21 Per tria movetur terra, et quartum non potest sustinere: 22 per servum, cum regnaverit; per stultum, cum saturatus fuerit cibo; 23 per odiosam mulierem, cum in matrimonio fuerit assumpta; et per ancillam, cum fuerit hæres dominæ suæ.] 24 [Quatuor sunt minima terræ, et ipsa sunt sapientiora sapientibus: 25 formicæ, populus infirmus, qui præparat in messe cibum sibi; 26 lepusculus, plebs invalida, qui collocat in petra cubile suum; 27 regem locusta non habet, et egreditur universa per turmas suas; 28 stellio manibus nititur, et moratur in ædibus regis. 29 Tria sunt quæ bene gradiuntur, et quartum quod incedit feliciter: 30 leo, fortissimus bestiarum, ad nullius pavebit occursum; 31 gallus succinctus lumbos; et aries; nec est rex, qui resistat ei. 32 Est qui stultus apparuit postquam elevatus est in sublime; si enim intellexisset, ori suo imposuisset manum. 33 Qui autem fortiter premit ubera ad eliciendum lac exprimit butyrum; et qui vehementer emungit elicit sanguinem; et qui provocat iras producit discordias.]

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 30:21 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture VI)

    The slave shook the world, since by three things the earth is shaken, and the fourth it cannot bear,--if a slave became a king.

  2. Quotes verse 30:29 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Fifth Theological Oration)

    There are in the Book of Proverbs three things which go well, a lion, a goat, and a cock; and to these is added a fourth;--a King making a speech before the people, to pass over the other sets of four which are there counted up, although things of various natures.
