For the Lord shall be over all thy ways, and shall establish thy foot that thou be not moved.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ γὰρ Κύριος ἔσται ἐπὶ πασῶν ὁδῶν σου, καὶ ἐρείσει σὸν πόδα ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῇς.
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Proverbs
Forbear not to do good to the poor, whensoever thy hand may have [power] to help [him].
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ ἀπόσχῃ εὖ ποιεῖν ἐνδεῆ, ἡνίκα ἂν ἔχῃ ἡ χείρ σου βοηθεῖν.
Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while thou art able to do [him] good: for thou knowest not what the next day will bring forth.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ εἴπῃς, ἐπανελθὼν ἐπάνηκε, αὔριον δώσω, δυνατοῦ σου ὄντος εὖ ποιεῖν· οὐ γὰρ οἶδας τί τέξεται ἡ ἐπιοῦσα.
Devise not evil against thy friend, living near thee and trusting in thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ τεκτῄνῃ ἐπὶ σὸν φίλον κακὰ παροικοῦντα καὶ πεποιθότα ἐπὶ σοί.
Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do thee some harm.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ φιλεχθρήσῃς πρὸς ἄνθρωπον μάτην, μήτί σε ἐργάσηται κακόν.
Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do thou covet their ways.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ κτήσῃ κακῶν ἀνδρῶν ὀνείδη, μηδὲ ζηλώσῃς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν.
For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous.
Greek · SeptuagintἈκάθαρτος γὰρ ἔναντι Κυρίου πᾶς παράνομος, ἐν δὲ δικαίοις οὐ συνεδριάζει.
The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed.
Greek · SeptuagintΚατάρα Θεοῦ ἐν οἴκοις ἀσεβῶν, ἐπαύλεις δὲ δικαίων εὐλογοῦνται.
The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble.
Greek · SeptuagintΚύριος ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσι χάριν.
The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted [their own] dishonour.
Greek · SeptuagintΔόξαν σοφοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ὕψωσαν ἀτιμίαν.
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
Greek · SeptuagintἈκούσατε, παῖδες, παιδείαν πατρὸς, καὶ προσέχετε γνῶναι ἔννοιαν.
For I give you a good gift; forsake ye not my law.
Greek · SeptuagintΔῶρον γὰρ ἀγαθὸν δωροῦμαι ὑμῖν, τὸν ἐμὸν νόμον μὴ ἐγκαταλίπητε.
For I also was a son obedient to [my] father, and loved in the sight of [my] mother:
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱὸς γὰρ ἐγενόμην κᾀγὼ πατρὶ ὑπήκοος, καὶ ἀγαπώμενος ἐν προσώπῳ μητρός.
who spoke and instructed me, [saying], Let our speech be fixed in thine heart, keep [our] commandments, forget them not:
Greek · SeptuagintΟἳ ἔλεγον καὶ ἐδίδασκόν με, ἐρειδέτω ὁ ἡμέτερος λόγος εἰς σὴν καρδίαν· φύλασσε ἐντολὰς,
and do not neglect the speech of my mouth.
Greek · Septuagintμὴ ἐπιλάθῃ· Μηδὲ παρίδῃς ῥῆσιν ἐμοῦ στόματος,
And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: love it, and it shall keep thee.
Greek · Septuagintμηδὲ ἐγκαταλίπῃς αὐτὴν, καὶ ἀνθέξεταί σου· ἐράσθητι αὐτῆς, καὶ τηρήσει σε.
Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: honour it, that it may embrace thee;
Greek · SeptuagintΠεριχαράκωσον αὐτὴν, καὶ ὑψώσει σε· τίμησον αὐτὴν, ἵνα σε περιλάβῃ·
that it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, and may cover thee with a crown of delight.
Greek · SeptuagintἽνα δῷ τῇ σῇ κεφαλῇ στέφανον χαρίτων, στεφάνῳ δὲ τρυφῆς ὑπερασπίσῃ σου.
Hear, [my] son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many.
Greek · SeptuagintἌκουε υἱὲ καὶ δέξαι ἐμοὺς λόγους, καὶ πληθυνθήσεται ἔτη ζωῆς σου, ἵνα σοι γένωνται πολλαὶ ὁδοὶ βίου.
For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths.
Greek · SeptuagintὉδοὺς γὰρ σοφίας διδάσκω σε, ἐμβιβάζω δέ σε τροχιαῖς ὀρθαῖς.
For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed.
Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν γὰρ πορεύῃ, οὐ συγκλεισθήσεταί σου τὰ διαβήματα· ἐὰν δὲ τρέχῃς, οὐ κοπιάσεις.
Take hold of my instruction; let it not go,—but keep it for thyself for thy life.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπιλαβοῦ ἐμῆς παιδείας, μὴ ἀφῇς, ἀλλὰ φύλαξον αὐτὴν σεαυτῷ εἰς ζωήν σου.
Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors.
Greek · SeptuagintὉδοὺς ἀσεβῶν μὴ ἐπέλθῃς, μηδὲ ζηλώσῃς ὁδοὺς παρανόμων.
In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not thither; but turn from them, and pass away.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν ᾧ ἂν τόπῳ στρατοπεδεύσωσι, μὴ ἐπέλθῃς ἐκεὶ, ἔκκλινον δὲ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν καὶ παράλλαξον.
For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ γὰρ μὴ ὑπνώσωσιν, ἐὰν μὴ κακοποιήσωσιν· ἀφῄρηται ὁ ὕπνος αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κοιμῶνται.
For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression.
Greek · SeptuagintΟἵδε γὰρ σιτοῦνται σῖτα ἀσεβείας, οἴνῳ δὲ παρανόμῳ μεθύσκονται.
But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come.
Greek · SeptuagintΑἱ δὲ ὁδοὶ τῶν δικαίων ὁμοίως φωτὶ λάμπουσι, προπορεύονται καὶ φωτίζουσιν, ἕως κατορθώσῃ ἡ ἡμέρα.
But the ways of the ungodly are dark; they know not how they stumble.
Greek · SeptuagintΑἱ δὲ ὁδοὶ τῶν ἀσεβῶν σκοτειναὶ, οὐκ οἴδασι πῶς προσκόπτουσιν.
[My] son, attend to my speech; and apply thine ear to my words:
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱὲ ἐμῇ ῥήσει πρόσεχε, τοῖς δὲ ἐμοῖς λόγοις παράβαλλε σὸν οὖς.
that thy fountains may not fail thee; keep them in [thine] heart.
Greek · SeptuagintὍπως μὴ ἐκλίπωσί σε αἱ πηγαί σου, φύλασσε αὐτὰς ἐν καρδίᾳ.
For they are life to those that find them, and health to all [their] flesh.
Greek · SeptuagintΖωὴ γάρ ἐστι τοῖς εὑρίσκουσιν αὐτὰς, καὶ πάσῃ σαρκὶ ἴασις.
Keep thine heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life.
Greek · SeptuagintΠάσῃ φυλακῇ τήρει σὴν καρδίαν, ἐκ γὰρ τούτων ἔξοδοι ζωῆς.
Remove from thee a froward mouth, and put far away from thee unjust lips.
Greek · SeptuagintΠερίελε σεαυτοῦ σκολιὸν στόμα, καὶ ἄδικα χείλη μακρὰν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἄπωσαι.
Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids assent [to] just [things].
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὀρθὰ βλεπέτωσαν, τὰ δὲ βλέφαρά σου νευέτω δίκαια.
Make straight paths for thy feet, and order thy ways aright.
Greek · SeptuagintὈρθὰς τροχιὰς ποίει σοῖς ποσί, καὶ τὰς ὁδούς σου κατεύθυνε.
Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away thy foot from an evil way:
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ ἐκκλίνῃς εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ, μηδὲ εἰς τὰ ἀριστερά, ἀπόστρεψον δὲ σὸν πόδα ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ κακῆς·
[My] son, attend to my wisdom, and apply thine ear to my words;
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱὲ, ἐμῇ σοφίᾳ πρόσεχε, ἐμοῖς δὲ λόγοις παράβαλλε σὸν οὖς,
that thou mayest keep good understanding, and the discretion of my lips gives thee a charge. Give no heed to a worthless woman;
Greek · Septuagintἵνα φυλάξῃς ἔννοιαν ἀγαθήν· αἴσθησις δὲ ἐμῶν χειλέων ἐντέλλεταί σοι·
for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases thy palate:
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ πρόσεχε φαύλῃ γυναικί. Μέλι γὰρ ἀποστάζει ἀπὸ χειλέων γυναικὸς πόρνης, ἣ πρὸς καιρὸν λιπαίνει σὸν φάρυγγα,
but afterwards thou wilt find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
Greek · Septuagintὕστερον μέντοι πικρότερον χολῆς εὑρήσεις, καὶ ἠκονημένον μᾶλλον μαχαίρας διστόμου.
For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established.
Greek · SeptuagintΤῆς γὰρ ἀφροσύνης οἱ πόδες κατάγουσι τοὺς χρωμένους αὐτῇ μετὰ θανάτου εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, τὰ δὲ ἴχνη αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐρείδεται.
For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.
Greek · SeptuagintὉδοὺς γὰρ ζωῆς οὐκ ἐπέρχεται, σφαλεραὶ δὲ αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ εὔγνωστοι.
Now then, [my] son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.
Greek · SeptuagintΝῦν οὖν υἱὲ ἄκουέ μου, καὶ μὴ ἀκύρους ποιήσεις ἐμοὺς λόγους.
Remove thy way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:
Greek · SeptuagintΜακρὰν ποίησον ἀπʼ αὐτῆς σὴν ὁδόν· μὴ ἐγγίσῃς πρὸς θύραις οἴκων αὐτῆς,
lest thou give away thy life to others, and thy substance to the merciless:
Greek · Septuagintἵνα μὴ πρόῃ ἄλλοις ζωήν σου, καὶ σὸν βίον ἀνελεήμοσιν·
lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours come into the houses of strangers;
Greek · SeptuagintἽνα μὴ πλησθῶσιν ἀλλότριοι σῆς ἰσχύος, οἱ δὲ σοὶ πόνοι εἰς οἴκους ἀλλοτρίων ἔλθεσι·
and thou repent at last, when the flesh of thy body is consumed,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μεταμεληθήσῃ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων, ἡνίκα ἂν κατατριβῶσι σάρκες σώματός σου,
and thou shalt say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs!
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐρεῖς, πῶς ἐμίσησα παιδείαν, καὶ ἐλέγχους ἐξέκλινεν ἡ καρδία μου;
I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἤκουον φωνὴν παιδεύοντός με καὶ διδάσκοντός με, οὐδὲ παρέβαλλον τὸ οὖς μου.
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Greek · SeptuagintΠαρʼ ὀλίγον ἐγενόμην ἐν παντὶ κακῷ, ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας καὶ συναγωγῆς.
Drink waters out of thine own vessels, and out of thine own springing wells.
Greek · SeptuagintΠίνε ὕδατα ἀπὸ σῶν ἀγγείων, καὶ ἀπὸ σῶν φρεάτων πηγῆς.
Let not waters out of thy fountain be spilt by thee, but let thy waters go into thy streets.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ ὑπερεκχείσθω σοι ὕδατα ἐκ τῆς σῆς πηγῆς, εἰς δὲ σὰς πλατείας διαπορευέσθω τὰ σὰ ὕδατα.
Let them be only thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee.
Greek · SeptuagintἜστω σοι μόνῳ ὑπάρχοντα, καὶ μηδεὶς ἀλλότριος μετασχέτω σοι.
Let thy fountain of water be [truly] thine own; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ πηγή σου τοῦ ὕδατος ἔστω σοι ἰδία, καὶ συνευφραίνου μετὰ γυναικὸς τῆς ἐκ νεότητός σου.
Let [thy] loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, and let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; for ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.
Greek · SeptuagintἜλαφος φιλίας καὶ πῶλος σῶν χαρίτων ὁμιλείτω σοι, ἡ δὲ ἰδία ἡγείσθω σου καὶ συνέστω σοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ· ἐν γὰρ τῇ ταύτης φιλίᾳ συμπεριφερόμενος, πολλοστὸς ἔσῃ.
Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ πολὺς ἴσθι πρὸς ἀλλοτρίαν, μηδὲ συνέχου ἀγκάλαις τῆς μὴ ἰδίας.
For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.
Greek · SeptuagintἘνώπιον γάρ εἰσι τῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὀφθαλμῶν ὁδοὶ ἀνδρὸς, εἰς δὲ πάσας τὰς τροχιὰς αὐτοῦ σκοπεύει.
Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.
Greek · SeptuagintΠαρανομίαι ἄνδρα ἀγρεύουσι, σειραῖς δὲ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν ἕκαστος σφίγγεται.
Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὗτος τελευτᾷ μετὰ ἀπαιδεύτων, ἐκ δὲ πλήθους τῆς ἑαυτοῦ βιότητος ἐξεῤῥίφη, καὶ ἀπώλετο διʼ ἀφροσύνην.
[My] son, if thou become surety for thy friend, thou shalt deliver thine hand to an enemy.
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱὲ, ἐὰν ἐγγυήσῃ σὸν φίλον, παραδώσεις σὴν χεῖρα ἐχθρῷ.
For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth.
Greek · SeptuagintΠαγὶς γὰρ ἰσχυρὰ ἀνδρὶ τὰ ἴδια χείλη, καὶ ἁλίσκεται χείλεσιν ἰδίου στόματος.
[My] son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend's account thou art come into the power of evil [men]: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety.
Greek · SeptuagintΠοίει υἱὲ ἃ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι, καὶ σώζου· ἥκεις γὰρ εἰς χεῖρας κακῶν διὰ σὸν φίλον· ἴσθι μὴ ἐκλυόμενος, παρόξυνε δὲ καὶ τὸν φίλον σου ὃν ἐνεγγυήσω.
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber with thine eyelids;
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ δῷς ὕπνον σοῖς ὄμμασι, μηδὲ ἐπινυστάξῃς σοῖς βλεφάροις,
that thou mayest deliver thyself as a doe out of the toils, and as a bird out of a snare.
Greek · Septuagintἵνα σώζῃ ὥσπερ δορκὰς ἐκ βρόχων, καὶ ὥσπερ ὄρνεον ἐκ παγίδος.
Go to the ant, O sluggard; and see, and emulate his ways, and become wiser than he.
Greek · SeptuagintἼθι πρὸς τὸν μύρμηκα ὦ ὀκνηρὲ, καὶ ζήλωσον ἰδὼν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ γενοῦ ἐκείνου σοφώτερος.
For whereas he has no husbandry, nor any one to compel him, and is under no master,
Greek · SeptuagintἘκείνῳ γὰρ γεωργίου μὴ ὑπάρχοντος, μηδὲ τὸν ἀναγκάζοντα ἔχων, μηδὲ ὑπὸ δεσπότην ὢν,
he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest.
Greek · Septuagintἐτοιμάζεται θέρους τὴν τροφὴν, πολλήν τε ἐν τῷ ἀμητῷ ποιεῖται τὴν παράθεσιν·
How long wilt thou lie, O sluggard? and when wilt thou awake out of sleep?
Greek · SeptuagintἝως τίνος ὀκνηρὲ κατάκεισαι; πότε δὲ ἐξ ὕπνου ἐγερθήσῃ;
Thou sleepest a little, and thou restest a little, and thou slumberest a short [time], and thou foldest thine arms over thy breast a little.
Greek · Septuagintὀλίγον μὲν ὑπνοῖς, ὀλίγον δὲ κάθησαι, μικρὸν δὲ νυστάζεις, ὀλίγον δὲ ἐναγκαλίζῃ χερσὶ στήθη.
Then poverty comes upon thee as an evil traveller, and want as a swift courier:
Greek · SeptuagintΕἶτʼ ἐνπαραγίνεταί σοι ὥσπερ κακὸς ὁδοιπόρος ἡ πενία, καὶ ἡ ἔνδεια ὥσπερ ἀγαθὸς δρομεύς·
A foolish man and a transgressor goes in ways that are not good.
Greek · SeptuagintἈνὴρ ἄφρων καὶ παράνομος πορεύεται ὁδοὺς οὐκ ἀγαθάς.
And the same winks with the eye, and makes a sign with his foot, and teaches with the beckonings of his fingers.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ δʼ αὐτὸς ἐννεύει ὀφθαλμῷ, σημαίνει δὲ ποδὶ, διδάσκει δὲ ἐννεύμασι δακτύλων.
[His] perverse heart devises evils: at all times such a one causes troubles to a city.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιεστραμμένη καρδία τεκταίνεται κακὰ, ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ὁ τοιοῦτος ταραχὰς συνίστησιν πόλει.
Therefore his destruction shall come suddenly; overthrow and irretrievable ruin.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιὰ τοῦτο ἐξαπίνης ἔρχεται ἡ ἀπώλεια αὐτοῦ, διακοπὴ καὶ συντριβὴ ἀνίατος.
For he rejoices in all things which God hates, and he is ruined by reason of impurity of soul.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι χαίρει πᾶσιν οἷς μισεῖ ὁ Θεὸς, συντρίβεται δὲ διʼ ἀκαθαρσίαν ψυχῆς.
The eye of the haughty, a tongue unjust, hands shedding the blood of the just;
Greek · SeptuagintὈφθαλμὸς ὑβριστοῦ, γλῶσσα ἄδικος· χεῖρες ἐκχέουσαι αἷμα δικαίου,
and a heart devising evil thoughts, and feet hastening to do evil,—[are hateful to God].
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ καρδία τεκταινομένη λογισμοὺς κακοὺς, καὶ πόδες ἐπισπεύδοντες κακοποιεῖν.
An unjust witness kindles falsehoods, and brings on quarrels between brethren.
Greek · SeptuagintἘκκαίει ψευδῆ μάρτυς ἄδικος, καὶ ἐπιπέμπει κρίσεις ἀναμέσον ἀδελφῶν.
[My] son, keep the laws of thy father, and reject not the ordinances of thy mother:
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱὲ, φύλασσε νόμους πατρός σου, καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ θεσμοὺς μητρός σου·
but bind them upon thy soul continually, and hang them as a chain about thy neck.
Greek · SeptuagintἌφαψαι δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σῇ ψυχῇ διαπαντὸς, καὶ ἐλκλοίωσαι περὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ·
Whensoever thou walkest, lead this along and let it be with thee; and when thou sleepest let it keep thee; that it may talk with thee when thou wakest.
Greek · SeptuagintἩνίκα ἂν περιπατῇς, ἐπάγου αὐτὴν καὶ μετὰ σοῦ ἔστω, ὡς δʼ ἂν καθεύδῃς φυλασσέτω σε, ἵνα ἐγειρομένῳ συλλαλῇ σοι.
For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction:
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι λύχνος ἐντολὴ νόμου καὶ φῶς, ὁδὸς ζωῆς, καὶ ἔλεγχος καὶ παιδεία,
to keep thee continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue.
Greek · Septuagintτοῦ διαφυλάσσειν σε ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ὑπάνδρου, καὶ ἀπὸ διαβολῆς γλώσσης ἀλλοτρίας.
Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, neither be thou caught by thine eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids.
Greek · SeptuagintΜή σε νικήσῃ κάλλους ἐπιθυμία, μηδὲ ἀγρευθῇς σοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, μηδὲ συναρπασθῇς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῆς βλεφάρων.
For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.
Greek · SeptuagintΤιμὴ γὰρ πόρνης ὅση καὶ ἑνὸς ἄρτου, γυνὴ δὲ ἀνδρῶν τιμίας ψυχὰς ἀγρεύει.
Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments?
Greek · SeptuagintἈποδήσει τις πῦρ ἐν κόλπῳ, τὰ δὲ ἱμάτια οὐ κατακαύσει;
or will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet?
Greek · Septuagintἢ περιπατήσει τις ἐπʼ ἀνθράκων πυρὸς, τοὺς δὲ πόδας οὐ κατακαύσει;
So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως ὁ εἰσελθὼν πρὸς γυναῖκα ὕπανδρον, οὐκ ἀθωωθήσεται, οὐδὲ πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος αὐτῆς.
It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul:
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ θαυμαστὸν ἐὰν ἁλῷ τις κλέπτων, κλέπτει γὰρ ἵνα ἐμπλήσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν πεινῶν.
but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods.
Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν δὲ ἁλῷ, ἀποτίσει ἑπταπλάσια, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ δοὺς ῥύσεται ἑσυτόν.
But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ μοιχὸς διʼ ἔνδειαν φρενῶν ἀπώλειαν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ περιποιεῖται,
He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off.
Greek · Septuagintὀδύνας τε καὶ ἀτιμίας ὑποφέρει, τὸ δὲ ὄνειδος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξαλειφθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Greek · SeptuagintΜεστὸς γὰρ ζήλου θυμὸς ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς, οὐ φείσεται ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως.
He will not forego [his] enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἀνταλλάξεται οὐδενὸς λύτρου τὴν ἔχθραν, οὐδὲ μὴ διαλυθῇ πολλῶν δώρων.
[My] son, keep my words, and hide with thee my commandments.
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱὲ φύλασσε ἐμοὺς λόγους, τὰς δὲ ἐμὰς ἐντολὰς κρύψον παρὰ σεαυτῷ·
keep my commandments, and thou shalt live; and [keep] my words as the pupils of [thine] eyes.
Greek · Septuagintφύλαξον ἐμὰς ἐντολὰς καὶ βιώσεις, τοὺς δὲ ἐμοὺς λόγους ὥσπερ κόρας ὀμμάτων.
And bind them on thy fingers, and write [them] on the table of thine heart.
Greek · SeptuagintΠερίθου δὲ αὐτοὺς σοῖς δακτύλοις, ἐπίγραψον δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ πλάτος τῆς καρδίας σου.
Say that wisdom is thy sister, and gain prudence as an acquaintance for thyself;
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰπὸν τὴν σοφίαν σὴν ἀδελφὴν εἶναι, τὴν δὲ φρόνησιν γνώριμον περιποίησαι σεαυτῷ.
that she may keep thee from the strange and wicked woman, if she should assail thee with flattering words.
Greek · SeptuagintἽνα σε τηρήσῃ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀλλοτρίας καὶ πονηρᾶς, ἐάν σε λόγοις τοῖς πρὸς χάριν ἐμβάληται.
For she looks from a window out of her house into the streets, at one whom she may see of the senseless ones, a young man void of understanding,
Greek · SeptuagintἈπὸ γὰρ θυρίδος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς εἰς τὰς πλατείας παρακύπτουσα,
