Proverbios 19
Brenton's English Septuagint
1—
2—
3The folly of a man spoils his ways: and he blames God in his heart.
4Wealth acquires many friends; but the poor is deserted even of the friend he has.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that accuses unjustly shall not escape.
6Many court the favour of kings; but every bad man becomes a reproach to another man.
7Every one who hates his poor brother shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw near to them that know it, and a sensible man will find it. He that does much harm perfects mischief; and he that used provoking words shall not escape.
8He that procures wisdom loves himself; and he that keeps wisdom shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and whosoever shall kindle mischief shall perish by it.
10Delight does not suit a fool, nor is it seemly if a servant should begin to rule with haughtiness.
11A merciful man is long-suffering; and his Gr. boasting comes upon triumph overtakes transgressors.
12The threatening of a king is like the roaring of a lion; but as dew on the grass, so is his favour.
13A foolish son is a disgrace to his father: vows paid out of the hire of a harlot are not pure.
14Fathers divide house and substance to their children: but a wife is suited to a man by the Lord.
15Or, keeps down Cowardice possesses the effeminate man; and the soul of the sluggard shall hunger.
16He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall perish.
17He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; and he will recompense to him according to his gift.
18Chasten thy son, for so he shall be hopeful; and be not exalted in thy soul to haughtiness.
19A malicious man shall be severely punished, and if he commit injury, he shall also lose his life.
20Hear, son, the instruction of thy father, that thou mayest be wise at thy latter end.
21There are many thoughts in a man’s heart; but the counsel of the Lord abides for ever.
22Mercy is a fruit to a man: and a poor man is better than a rich liar.
23The fear of the Lord is life to a man: Or, «but he that is without fear (sc. of the Lord) shall dwell’, etc. and he shall lodge without fear in places where knowledge is not seen.
24He that unjustly hides his hands in his bosom, will not even bring them up to his mouth.
25When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if thou reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion.
26He that dishonours his father, and drives away his mother, shall be disgraced and shall be exposed to reproach.
27A son who ceases to attend to the instruction of a father will cherish evil designs.
28He that becomes surety for a foolish child will despise the ordinance: and the mouth of ungodly men shall drink down judgement.
29Scourges are preparing for the intemperate, and punishments likewise for fools.
Reina-Valera 1909
1MEJOR es el pobre que camina en su sencillez, que el de perversos labios y fatuo.
2El alma sin ciencia no es buena; y el presuroso de pies peca.
3La insensatez del hombre tuerce su camino; y contra Jehová se aira su corazón.
4Las riquezas allegan muchos amigos: mas el pobre, de su amigo es apartado.
5El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo; y el que habla mentiras no escapará.
6Muchos rogarán al príncipe: mas cada uno es amigo del hombre que da.
7Todos los hermanos del pobre le aborrecen: ¡cuánto más sus amigos se alejarán de él! buscará la palabra y no la hallará.
8El que posee entendimiento, ama su alma: el que guarda la inteligencia, hallará el bien.
9El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo; y el que habla mentiras, perecerá.
10No conviene al necio el deleite: ¡cuánto menos al siervo ser señor de los príncipes!
11La cordura del hombre detiene su furor; y su honra es disimular la ofensa.
12Como el bramido del cachorro de león es la ira del rey; y su favor como el rocío sobre la hierba.
13Dolor es para su padre el hijo necio; y gotera continua las contiendas de la mujer.
14La casa y las riquezas herencia son de los padres: mas de Jehová la mujer prudente.
15La pereza hace caer en sueño; y el alma negligente hambreará.
16El que guarda el mandamiento, guarda su alma: mas el que menospreciare sus caminos, morirá.
17A Jehová empresta el que da al pobre, y él le dará su paga.
18Castiga á tu hijo en tanto que hay esperanza; mas no se excite tu alma para destruirlo.
19El de grande ira llevará la pena: y si usa de violencias, añadirá nuevos males.
20Escucha el consejo, y recibe la corrección, para que seas sabio en tu vejez.
21Muchos pensamientos hay en el corazón del hombre; mas el consejo de Jehová permanecerá.
22Contentamiento es á los hombres hacer misericordia: pero mejor es el pobre que el mentiroso.
23El temor de Jehová es para vida; y con él vivirá el hombre, lleno de reposo; no será visitado de mal.
24El perezoso esconde su mano en el seno: aun á su boca no la llevará.
25Hiere al escarnecedor, y el simple se hará avisado; y corrigiendo al entendido, entenderá ciencia.
26El que roba á su padre y ahuyenta á su madre, hijo es avergonzador y deshonrador.
27Cesa, hijo mío, de oir la enseñanza que induce á divagar de las razones de sabiduría.
28El testigo perverso se burlará del juicio; y la boca de los impíos encubrirá la iniquidad.
29Aparejados están juicios para los escarnecedores, y azotes para los cuerpos de los insensatos.
King James Version

5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
