WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth an offensive odor: [so doth] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honor.
1 LAS moscas muertas hacen heder [y] dar mal olor el perfume del perfumista: [así] una pequeña locura, al estimado por sabiduría y honra.
1 Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.
2 A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart [is] at his left.
2 El corazón del sabio está á su mano derecha; mas el corazón del necio á su mano izquierda.
2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth [him] , and he saith to every one [that] he [is] a fool.
3 Y aun mientras va el necio por el camino, fálta[le] su cordura, y dice á todos, [que] es necio.
3 Yes also when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
4 If the spirit of the ruler riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.
4 Si el espíritu del príncipe se exaltare contra ti, no dejes tu lugar; porque la lenidad hará cesar grandes ofensas.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
5 There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:
5 Hay un mal que debajo del sol he visto, á manera de error emanado del príncipe:
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, the sort of error which proceeds from the ruler.
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
6 La necedad está colocada en grandes alturas, y los ricos están sentados en lugar bajo.
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
7 Vi siervos en caballos, y príncipes que andaban como siervos sobre la tierra.
7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants on the earth.
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
8 El que hiciere el hoyo caerá en él; y el que aportillare el vallado, morderále la serpiente.
8 He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.
9 Whoever removeth stones shall be hurt by them; [and] he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered by it.
9 El que mudare las piedras, trabajo tendrá en ellas: el que cortare la leña, en ella peligrará.
9 Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered by it.
10 If the iron is blunt, and he doth not whet the edge, then must he use more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
10 Si se embotare el hierro, y su filo no fuere amolado, hay que añadir entonces más fuerza: empero excede la bondad de la sabiduría.
10 If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.
11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
11 Muerde la serpiente cuando no está encantada, y el lenguaraz no es mejor.
11 If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
12 Las palabras de la boca del sabio son gracia; mas los labios del necio causan su propia ruina.
12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness.
13 El principio de las palabras de su boca es necedad; y el fin de su charla nocivo desvarío.
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
14 El necio multiplica palabras: no sabe hombre lo que ha de ser; ¿y quién le hará saber lo que después de él será?
14 A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
15 The labor of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
15 El trabajo de los necios los fatiga; porque no saben por dónde ir á la ciudad.
15 The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
16 ¡Ay de ti, tierra, cuando tu rey es muchacho, y tus príncipes comen de mañana!

18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
18 Por la pereza se cae la techumbre, y por flojedad de manos se llueve la casa.
18 By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all [things] .
19 Por el placer se hace el convite, y el vino alegra los vivos: y el dinero responde á todo.

20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber: for a bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter.
20 Ni aun en tu pensamiento digas mal del rey, ni en los secretos de tu cámara digas mal del rico; porque las aves del cielo llevarán la voz, y las que tienen alas harán saber la palabra.
20 Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.

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).
Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in season, in fortitude, and not in confusion!"
