KJV
LXX
1
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
Ὥσπερ δρόσος ἐν ἀμητῷ, καὶ ὥσπερ ὑετὸς ἐν θέρει, οὕτως οὐκ ἔστιν ἄφρουι τιμή.
2
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
Ὥσπερ ὄρνεα πέταται καὶ στρουθοί, οὕτως ἀρὰ ματαία οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται οὐδενί.
3
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
Ὥσπερ μάστιξ ἵππῳ καὶ κέντρον ὄνῳ, οὕτως ῥάβδος ἔθνει παρανόμῳ.
4
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Μὴ ἀποκρίνου ἄφρονι πρὸς τὴν ἐκείνου ἀφροσύνην, ἵνα μὴ ὅμοιος γένῃ αὐτῷ.
5
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Ἀλλὰ ἀποκρίνου ἄφρονι κατὰ τὴν ἀφροσύνην αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ φαίνηται σοφὸς παρʼ ἑαυτῷ.
6
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
Ἐκ τῶν ὁδῶν ἑαυτοῦ ὄνειδος ποιεῖται ὁ ἀποστείλας διʼ ἀγγέλου ἄφρονος λόγον.
7
The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
Ἄφελοῦ πορείαν σκελῶν, καὶ παρανομίαν ἐκ στόματος ἀφρόνων.
8
As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
Ὃς ἀποδεσμεύει λίθον ἐν σφενδόνῃ, ὅμοιός ἐστι τῷ διδόντι ἄφρονι δόξαν.
9
As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
Ἄκανθαι φύονται ἐν χειρὶ μεθύσου, δουλεία δὲ ἐν χειρὶ τῶν ἀφρόνων.
10
The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
Πολλὰ χειμάζεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἀφρόνων, συντρίβεται γὰρ ἡ ἔκστασις αὐτῶν.
11
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
Ὥσπερ κύων ὅταν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπὶ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ ἔμετον καὶ μισητὸς γένηται, οὕτως ἄφρων τῇ ἑαυτοῦ κακίᾳ ἀναστρέψας ἐπὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίαν·
ἔστιν αἰσχύνη ἐπάγουσα ἁμαρτίαν, καὶ ἐστιν αἰσχύνη δόξα καὶ χάρις.
12
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Εἶδον ἄνδρα δόξαντα παρʼ αὐτῷ σοφὸν εἶναι, ἐλπίδα μέντοι ἔσχε μᾶλλον ἄφρων αὐτοῦ.
13
The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
Λέγει ὀκνηρὸς ἀποστελλόμενος εἰς ὁδὸν, λέων ἐν ταῖς ἐν δὲ ταῖς πλατείαις φονευταί.
14
As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
Ὥσπερ θύρα στρέφεται ἐπὶ τοῦ στρόφιγγος, οὕτως ὀκνηρὸς ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ.
15
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
Κρύψας ὀκνηρὸς τὴν χεῖρα ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ αὐτοῦ, οὐ δυνήσεται ἐπενεγκεῖν ἐπὶ στόμα.
16
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
Σοφώτερος ἑαυτῷ ὀκνηρὸς φαίνεται, τοῦ ἐν πλησμονῇ ἀποκομίζοντος ἀγγελίαν.
17
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Ὥσπερ ὁ κρατῶν κέρκου κυνὸς, οὕτως ὁ προεστὼς ἀλλοτρίας κρίσεως.
18
As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
Ὥσπερ οἱ ἰώμενοι προβάλλουσι λόγους εἰς ἀνθρώπους, ὁ δὲ ἀπαντήσας τῷ λόγῳ πρῶτος ὑποσκελισθήσεται·
19
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
Οὕτως πάντες οἱ ἐνεδρεύοντες τοὺς ἑαυτῶν φίλους, ὅταν δὲ ὁραθῶσι, λέγουσιν, ὅτι παίζων ἔπραξα.
20
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
Ἐν πολλοῖς ξύλοις θάλλει πῦρ, ὅπου δὲ οὐκ ἔστι δίθυμος, ἡσυχάζει μάχη.
21
As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Ἐσχάρα ἄνθραξι καὶ ξύλα πυρὶ, ἀνὴρ δὲ λοίδορος εἰς ταραχὴν μάχης.
22
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Λόγοι κερκώπων μαλακοὶ, οὗτοι δὲ τύπτουσιν εἰς ταμιεῖα σπλάγχνων.
23
Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
Ἀργύριον διδόμενον μετὰ δόλου, ὥσπερ ὄστρακον ἡγητέον· χείλη λεῖα καρδίαν καλύπτει λυπηράν.
24
He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
Χείλεσι πάντα ἐπινεύει ἀποκλαιόμενος ἐχθρὸς, ἐν δὲ τῇ καρδίᾳ τεκταίνεται δόλους.
25
When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
Ἐάν σου δέηται ὁ ἐχθρὸς μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ, μὴ πεισθῇς, ἑπτὰ γάρ πονηρίαι ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ.
26
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
Ὁ κρύπτων ἔχθραν συνίστησι δόλον, ἐκκαλύπτει δὲ τὰς ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίας εὔγνωστος ἐν συνεδρίοις.
27
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
Ὁ ὀρύσσων βόθρον τῷ πλησίον, ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς αὐτόν· ὁ δὲ κυλίων λίθον, ἐφʼ ἑαυτὸν κυλίει.
28
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Γλῶσσα ψευδὴς μισεῖ ἀλήθειαν, στόμα δὲ ἄστεγον ποιεῖ ἀκαταστασίας.
