Proverbios 9

Brenton's English Septuagint

12Son, if thou be wise for thyself, thou shalt also be wise for thy neighbours; and if thou shouldest prove wicked, thou alone wilt bear the evil. Hebrew—to beginning of verse 13(9:12AA) He that stays himself upon falsehoods, attempts to rule the winds, and the same will pursue birds in their fight: (9:12BA) for he has forsaken the ways of his own vineyard, and he has caused the axles of his own husbandry to go astray; (9:12CA) and he goes through a dry desert, and a land appointed to drought, and he gathers barrenness with his hands.

Reina-Valera 1909

12Si fueres sabio, para ti lo serás: mas si fueres escarnecedor, pagarás tú solo.

King James Version

12If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

World English Bible

12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.
