2 The glorie of God is to conceale a thing secret: but the Kings honour is to search out a thing.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaues in height, and the earth in deepenes, and the Kings heart can no man search out.

8 Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?
9 Debate thy matter with thy neighbour, and discouer not the secret to another,
9 Debate your case with your neighbor, and don’t betray the confidence of another,
10 Least he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamie doe not cease.
10 lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.
11 A word spoken in his place, is like apples of golde with pictures of siluer.

20 Hee that taketh away the garment in the colde season, is like vineger powred vpon nitre, or like him that singeth songs to an heauy heart.
20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

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).
… that the enemy should not know when we do our alms, how shall we do with the enemy himself so as to fulfil that precept, "If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink"?
