Proverbes 20

Pr 20 (King James)

   1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
   2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
   3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
   4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
   5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
   6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
   7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
   8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
   9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
   10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
   11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
   12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
   13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
   14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
   15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
   16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
   17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
   18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
   19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
   20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
   21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
   22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
   23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
   24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
   25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
   26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
   27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
   28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
   29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
   30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Pr 20 (Vulgate)

   1 [Luxuriosa res vinum, et tumultuosa ebrietas :
quicumque his delectatur non erit sapiens.
   2 Sicut rugitus leonis, ita et terror regis :
qui provocat eum peccat in animam suam.
   3 Honor est homini qui separat se a contentionibus ;
omnes autem stulti miscentur contumeliis.
   4 Propter frigus piger arare noluit ;
mendicabit ergo æstate, et non dabitur illi.
   5 Sicut aqua profunda, sic consilium in corde viri ;
sed homo sapiens exhauriet illud.
   6 Multi homines misericordes vocantur ;
virum autem fidelem quis inveniet ?]
   7 [Justus qui ambulat in simplicitate sua
beatos post se filios derelinquet.
   8 Rex qui sedet in solio judicii
dissipat omne malum intuitu suo.
   9 Quis potest dicere : Mundum est cor meum ;
purus sum a peccato ?
   10 Pondus et pondus, mensura et mensura :
utrumque abominabile est apud Deum.
   11 Ex studiis suis intelligitur puer,
si munda et recta sint opera ejus.
   12 Aurem audientem, et oculum videntem :
Dominus fecit utrumque.
   13 Noli diligere somnum, ne te egestas opprimat :
aperi oculos tuos, et saturare panibus.
   14 Malum est, malum est, dicit omnis emptor ;
et cum recesserit, tunc gloriabitur.
   15 Est aurum et multitudo gemmarum,
et vas pretiosum labia scientiæ.]
   16 [Tolle vestimentum ejus qui fidejussor extitit alieni,
et pro extraneis aufer pignus ab eo.
   17 Suavis est homini panis mendacii,
et postea implebitur os ejus calculo.
   18 Cogitationes consiliis roborantur,
et gubernaculis tractanda sunt bella.
   19 Ei qui revelat mysteria, et ambulat fraudulenter,
et dilatat labia sua, ne commiscearis.
   20 Qui maledicit patri suo et matri,
extinguetur lucerna ejus in mediis tenebris :
   21 hæreditas ad quam festinatur in principio,
in novissimo benedictione carebit.
   22 Ne dicas : Reddam malum :
exspecta Dominum, et liberabit te.
   23 Abominatio est apud Dominum pondus et pondus ;
statera dolosa non est bona.
   24 A Domino diriguntur gressus viri :
quis autem hominum intelligere potest viam suam ?
   25 Ruina est homini devorare sanctos,
et post vota retractare.]
   26 [Dissipat impios rex sapiens,
et incurvat super eos fornicem.
   27 Lucerna Domini spiraculum hominis,
quæ investigat omnia secreta ventris.
   28 Misericordia et veritas custodiunt regem,
et roboratur clementia thronus ejus.
   29 Exsultatio juvenum fortitudo eorum,
et dignitas senum canities.
   30 Livor vulneris absterget mala,
et plagæ in secretioribus ventris.]
