WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Whoever has a will to withdraw from a friend, seeks occasions; he shall be reproached at all times.
1 SEGÚN [su] antojo busca el que se desvía, y se entremete en todo negocio.
1 A man who isolates himself pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.
2 The foolish do not accept words of prudence, unless you say what is already turning in his heart.
2 No toma placer el necio en la inteligencia, sino en lo que su corazón se descubre.
2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.
3 The impious, when he has arrived within the depths of sin, thinks little of it. But ill repute and disgrace follow him.
3 Cuando viene el impío, viene también el menosprecio, y con el deshonrador la afrenta.
3 When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace.
4 Words from the mouth of a man are deep waters. And the fountain of wisdom is a torrent overflowing.
4 Aguas profundas son las palabras de la boca del hombre; y arroyo revertiente, la fuente de la sabiduría.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to accept the character of the impious, so as to turn away from true judgment.
5 Tener respeto á la persona del impío, para hacer caer al justo de [su] derecho, no es bueno.
5 To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.
6 The lips of the foolish meddle in disputes. And his mouth provokes conflicts.
6 Los labios del necio vienen con pleito; y su boca á cuestiones llama.
6 A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.
7 The mouth of the foolish is his destruction, and his own lips are the ruin of his soul.
7 La boca del necio es quebrantamiento para sí, y sus labios son lazos para su alma.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 The words of the double-tongued seem simple. And they reach even to the interior of the gut. Fear casts down the lazy, but the souls of the effeminate shall go hungry.
8 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas, y descienden hasta lo íntimo del vientre.
8 The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.
9 Whoever is dissolute and slack in his work is the brother of him who wastes his own works.
9 También el que es negligente en su obra es hermano del hombre disipador.
9 One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10 The name of the Lord is a very strong tower. The just one rushes to it, and he shall be exalted.
10 Torre fuerte es el nombre de Jehová: á él correrá el justo, y será levantado.
10 Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.
11 The substance of the wealthy is the city of his strength, and it is like a strong wall encircling him.
11 Las riquezas del rico son la ciudad de su fortaleza, y como un muro alto en su imaginación.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
12 The heart of a man is exalted before it is crushed and humbled before it is glorified.
12 Antes del quebrantamiento se eleva el corazón del hombre, y antes de la honra es el abatimiento.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.
13 Whoever responds before he listens, demonstrates himself to be foolish and deserving of confusion.
13 El que responde palabra antes de oir, le es fatuidad y oprobio.
13 He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.
14 The spirit of a man sustains his weakness. Yet who can sustain a spirit that is easily angered?
14 El ánimo del hombre soportará su enfermedad: mas ¿quién soportará al ánimo angustiado?
14 A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?
15 A prudent heart shall possess knowledge. And the ear of the wise seeks doctrine.
15 El corazón del entendido adquiere sabiduría; y el oído de los sabios busca la ciencia.
15 The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 A man’s gift expands his way and makes space for him before leaders.
16 El presente del hombre le ensancha [el camino], y le lleva delante de los grandes.
16 A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
17 The just is the first accuser of himself; his friend arrives and shall investigate him.
17 El primero en su propia causa [parece] justo; y su adversario viene, y le sondea.
17 He who pleads his cause first seems right— until another comes and questions him.
18 Casting a lot suppresses contentions and passes judgment, even among the powerful.
18 La suerte pone fin á los pleitos, y desparte los fuertes.
18 The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart.
19 A brother who is helped by a brother is like a reinforced city, and judgments are like the bars of cities.
19 El hermano ofendido [es más tenaz] que una ciudad fuerte: y las contiendas [de los hermanos] son como cerrojos de alcázar.
19 A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city. Disputes are like the bars of a fortress.
20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be filled. And the harvest of his own lips shall satisfy him.
20 Del fruto de la boca del hombre se hartará su vientre; hartaráse del producto de sus labios.
20 A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Whoever values it shall eat from its fruits.
21 La muerte y la vida están en poder de la lengua; y el que la ama comerá de sus frutos.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.
22 He who has found a good wife has found goodness, and he shall draw contentment from the Lord. He who expels a good wife expels goodness. But he who holds on to an adulteress is foolish and impious.
22 El que halló esposa halló el bien, y alcanzó la benevolencia de Jehová.
22 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh.
23 The poor will speak with supplications. And the rich will express themselves roughly.
23 El pobre habla con ruegos; mas el rico responde durezas.
23 The poor plead for mercy, but the rich answer harshly.
24 A man amiable to society shall be more friendly than a brother.
24 El hombre [que tiene] amigos, ha de mostrarse amigo: y amigo hay más conjunto que el hermano.
24 A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

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?
