WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride.
1 He who touches pitch will be defiled. He who has fellowship with a proud man will become like him.
2 He shall take a burden upon him that hath fellowship with one more honourable than himself. And have no fellowship with one that is richer than thyself.
2 Don’t take up a burden above your strength. Have no fellowship with one who is mightier and richer than yourself. What fellowship would the earthen pot have with the kettle? The kettle will strike, and the pot will be dashed in pieces.
3 What agreement shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? for if they knock one against the other, it shall be broken.
3 The rich man does a wrong and threatens. The poor is wronged and apologizes.
4 The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he will fume: but the poor is wronged and must hold his peace.
4 If you are profitable, he will exploit you. If you are in need, he will forsake you.
5 If thou give, he will make use of thee: and if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.
5 If you own something, he will live with you. He will drain your resources and will not be sorry.
6 If thou have any thing, he will live with thee, and will make thee bare, and he will not be sorry for thee.
6 Does he need you? Then he will deceive you, smile at you, and give you hope. He will speak kindly to you and say, “What do you need?”
7 If he have need of thee he will deceive thee, and smiling upon thee will put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and will say: What wantest thou?
7 He will shame you by his delicacies until he has made you bare twice or thrice, and in the end he will laugh you to scorn. Afterward he will see you, will forsake you, and shake his head at you.
8 And he will shame thee by his meats, till he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at last he will laugh at thee: and afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee.
8 Beware that you are not deceived and brought low in your enjoyment.
9 Humble thyself to God, and wait for his hands.
9 If a mighty man invites you, be reserved, and he will invite you more.
10 Beware that thou be not deceived Into folly, and be humbled.
10 Don’t press him, lest you be thrust back. Don’t stand far off, lest you be forgotten.
11 Be not lowly in thy wisdom, lest being humbled thou be deceived into folly.
11 Don’t try to speak with him as an equal, and don’t believe his many words; for he will test you with much talk, and will examine you in a smiling manner.
12 If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more.
12 He who doesn’t keep secrets to himself is unmerciful. He won’t hesitate to harm and to bind.
13 Be not troublesome to him, lest thou be put back: and keep not far from him, lest thou be forgotten.
13 Keep them to yourself and be careful, for you walk in danger of falling.
14 Affect not to speak with him as an equal: and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets.

15 His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison.
15 Every living creature loves its own kind, and every man loves his neighbor.
16 Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin.
16 All flesh associates with their own kind. A man will stick to people like himself.
17 When thou hearest those things, see as it were in sleep, and thou shalt awake.
17 What fellowship would the wolf have with the lamb? So is the sinner to the godly.
18 Love God all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.
18 What peace is there between a hyena and a dog? What peace is there between a rich man and the poor?
19 Every beast loveth its like: so also every man him that is nearest to himself.
19 Wild donkeys are the prey of lions in the wilderness; likewise poor men are feeding grounds for the rich.
20 All flesh shall consort with the like to itself, and every man shall associate himself to his like.
20 Lowliness is an abomination to a proud man; likewise a poor man is an abomination to the rich.
21 If the wolf shall at any time have fellowship with the lamb, so the sinner with the just.
21 When a rich man is shaken, he is supported by his friends, but when the humble is down, he is pushed away even by his friends.
22 What fellowship hath a holy man with a dog, or what part hath the rich with the poor?
22 When a rich man falls, there are many helpers. He speaks things not to be spoken, and men justify him. A humble man falls, and men rebuke him. He utters wisdom, and is not listened to.
23 The wild ass is the lion’s prey in the desert: so also the poor are devoured by the rich.
23 A rich man speaks, and all keep silence. They extol what he says to the clouds. A poor man speaks, and they say, “Who is this?” If he stumbles, they will help to overthrow him.
24 And as humility is an abomination to the proud: so also the rich man abhorreth the poor.
24 Riches are good if they have no sin. Poverty is evil only in the opinion of the ungodly.
25 When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance.
25 The heart of a man changes his countenance, whether it is for good or for evil.
26 When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him.
26 A cheerful countenance is a sign of a prosperous heart. Devising proverbs takes strenuous thinking.
27 The poor man was deceived, and he is rebuked also: he hath spoken wisely, and could have no place.
