Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Whoso is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, And whoso is hating reproof [is] brutish.
1 EL que ama la corrección ama la sabiduría: mas el que aborrece la reprensión, es ignorante.
2 The good bringeth forth favour from Jehovah, And the man of wicked devices He condemneth.
2 El bueno alcanzará favor de Jehová: mas él condenará al hombre de malos pensamientos.
3 A man is not established by wickedness, And the root of the righteous is not moved.
3 El hombre no se afirmará por medio de la impiedad: mas la raíz de los justos no será movida.
4 A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband, And as rottenness in his bones [is] one causing shame.
4 La mujer virtuosa corona es de su marido: mas la mala, como carcoma en sus huesos.
5 The thoughts of the righteous [are] justice, The counsels of the wicked — deceit.
5 Los pensamientos de los justos son rectitud; [mas] los consejos de los impíos, engaño.
6 The words of the wicked [are]: 'Lay wait for blood,' And the mouth of the upright delivereth them.
6 Las palabras de los impíos son para acechar la sangre: mas la boca de los rectos los librará.
7 Overthrow the wicked, and they are not, And the house of the righteous standeth.
7 [Dios] trastornará á los impíos, y no serán más: mas la casa de los justos permanecerá.
8 According to his wisdom is a man praised, And the perverted of heart becometh despised.
8 Según su sabiduría es alabado el hombre: mas el perverso de corazón será en menosprecio.
9 Better [is] the lightly esteemed who hath a servant, Than the self-honoured who lacketh bread.
9 Mejor es el que es menospreciado y tiene servidores, que el que se precia, y carece de pan.
10 The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
10 El justo atiende á la vida de su bestia: mas las entrañas de los impíos son crueles.
11 Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,
11 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los vagabundos es falto de entendimiento.
12 The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.
12 Desea el impío la red de los malos: mas la raíz de los justos dará [fruto].
13 In transgression of the lips [is] the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.
13 El impío es enredado en la prevaricación de sus labios: mas el justo saldrá de la tribulación.
14 From the fruit of the mouth [is] one satisfied [with] good, And the deed of man's hands returneth to him.
14 El hombre será harto de bien del fruto de su boca: y la paga de las manos del hombre le será dada.
15 The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, And whoso is hearkening to counsel [is] wise.
15 El camino del necio es derecho en su opinión: mas el que obedece al consejo es sabio.
16 The fool — in a day is his anger known, And the prudent is covering shame.
16 El necio luego al punto da á conocer su ira: mas el que disimula la injuria es cuerdo.
17 Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness — deceit.
17 El que habla verdad, declara justicia; mas el testigo mentiroso, engaño.
18 A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.
18 Hay quienes hablan como [dando] estocadas de espada: mas la lengua de los sabios es medicina.
19 The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment — a tongue of falsehood.
19 El labio de verdad permanecerá para siempre: mas la lengua de mentira por un momento.
20 Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, And to those counselling peace [is] joy.
20 Engaño hay en el corazón de los que piensan mal: mas alegría en el de los que piensan bien.
21 No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.
21 Ninguna adversidad acontecerá al justo: mas los impíos serán llenos de mal.
22 An abomination to Jehovah [are] lying lips, And stedfast doers [are] his delight.
22 Los labios mentirosos son abominación á Jehová: mas los obradores de verdad su contentamiento.
23 A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaimeth folly.
23 El hombre cuerdo encubre la ciencia: mas el corazón de los necios publica la necedad.
24 The hand of the diligent ruleth, And slothfulness becometh tributary.
24 La mano de los diligentes se enseñoreará: mas la negligencia será tributaria.
25 Sorrow in the heart of a man boweth down, And a good word maketh him glad.
25 El cuidado congojoso en el corazón del hombre, lo abate; mas la buena palabra lo alegra.
26 The righteous searcheth his companion, And the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
26 El justo hace ventaja á su prójimo: mas el camino de los impíos les hace errar.
27 The slothful roasteth not his hunting, And the wealth of a diligent man is precious.
27 El indolente no chamuscará su caza: mas el haber precioso del hombre [es] la diligencia.
28 In the path of righteousness [is] life, And in the way of [that] path [is] no death!
28 En el camino de la justicia está la vida; y la senda de su vereda no es muerte.

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).
… 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 …
