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 A fool does not delight in understanding, || But in uncovering 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 Contempt has also come with the coming of the wicked, || And with shame—reproach.
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 The words of a man’s mouth [are] deep waters, || The fountain of wisdom [is] a flowing brook.
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 Favoring of the face of the wicked [is] not good, || To turn aside the righteous in 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 a fool enter into strife, || And his mouth calls for stripes.
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 a fool [is] ruin to him, || And his lips [are] the snare 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 a tale-bearer [are] as self-inflicted wounds, || And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart.
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 He also that is remiss in his work, || He [is] a brother to a destroyer.
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 YHWH [is] a tower of strength, || The righteous runs into it, and is set on high.
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 wealth of the rich [is] the city of his strength, || And as a wall set on high in his own imagination.
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 man is high before destruction, || And humility [is] before honor.
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 is answering a matter before he hears, || It is folly to him—and shame.
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 sickness, || And who bears a struck spirit?
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 The heart of the intelligent gets knowledge, || And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
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 The gift of a man makes room for him, || And it leads him before the great.
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 first in his own cause [seems] righteous, || [But] his neighbor comes and has searched 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 The lot causes contentions to cease, || And it separates between the mighty.
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 transgressed against is as a strong city, || And contentions as the bar of a palace.
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 is his belly satisfied, || [From the] increase of his lips he is satisfied.

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?
