1 A man who wishes to separate from friends seeks excuses; But at all times he will be liable to reproach. 2 A senseless man feels no need of wisdom, For he is rather led by folly. 3 When an ungodly man comes into a depth of evils, he despises [them]; But dishonor and reproach come upon him. 4 A word in the heart of a man is a deep water, And a river and fountain of life spring forth. 5 [It is] not good to accept the person of the ungodly, Nor [is it] holy to pervert justice in judgment. 6 The lips of a fool bring [him] into troubles, And his bold mouth calls for death. 7 A fool’s mouth is ruin to him, And his lips are a snare to his soul. 8 Fear casts down the slothful; And the souls of the effeminate shall hunger. 9 A man who helps not himself by his labor Is brother of him that ruins himself. 10 The name of the Lord is of great strength; And the righteous running to it are exalted. 11 The wealth of a rich man is a strong city; And its glory casts a broad shadow. 12 Before ruin a man’s heart is exalted, And before honor it is humble. 13 Whoso answers a word before he hears [a cause], It is folly and reproach to him. 14 A wise servant calms a man’s anger; But who can endure a faint-hearted man? 15 The heart of the sensible [man] purchases discretion; And the ears of the wise seek understanding. 16 A man’s gift enlarges him, And seats him among princes. 17 A righteous man accuses himself at the beginning of his speech, But when he has entered upon the attack, the adversary is reproved. 18 A silent [man] quells strifes, And determines between great powers. 19 A brother helped by a brother is as a strong and high city; And is [as] strong as a [well]-founded palace. 20 A man fills his belly with the fruits of his mouth; And he shall be satisfied with the fruits of his lips. 21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue; And they that rule it shall eat the fruits thereof. 22 He that has found a good wife has found favors, And has received gladness from God. 22a He that puts away a good wife, puts away a good thing, And he that keeps an adulteress is foolish and ungodly.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
For that is true which is written, "Pride goeth before destruction, and before honor is humility;" that is to say, secret ruin precedes open ruin, while the former is not counted ruin.

Defile it not therefore, lest to thee also He say, "Though ye make many prayers, I will not hearken." Yea, and "in the power of the tongue are death and life;" and, "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." I bid thee then watch thy tongue more than the apple of thine …

The hand of God he hath called the power of God: as hath been written in another place, "death and life are in the hands of the tongue." Hath the tongue hands?
