| ἵνα δῷ ἀκάκοις πανουργίαν, παιδὶ δὲ νέῳ αἴσθησίν τε καὶ ἔννοιαν· | that he might give subtlety to the simple, and to the young man discernment and understanding. | that prudence may be given to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth - | לָתֵת לִפְתָאיִם עָרְמָה לְנַעַר דַּעַת וּמְזִמָּה׃ | |||
| τῶνδε γὰρ ἀκούσας σοφὸς σοφώτερος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ νοήμων κυβέρνησιν κτήσεται | For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and man of understanding will gain direction; | the wise man also may hear and increase in learning, and the man of understanding acquire skill, | יִשְׁמַע חָכָם וְיֹוסֶף לֶקַח וְנָבֹון תַּחְבֻּלֹות יִקְנֶה׃ | |||

| Ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος θεοῦ, σύνεσις δὲ ἀγαθὴ πᾶσι τοῖς ποιοῦσιν αὐτήν· εὐσέβεια δὲ εἰς θεὸν ἀρχὴ αἰσθήσεως, σοφίαν δὲ καὶ παιδείαν ἀσεβεῖς ἐξουθενήσουσιν. | The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and [there is good understanding to all that practise it: and piety toward God is the beginning of discernment; but the ungodly will set at nought wisdom and instruction. | Advice to young men.

| υἱέ, μή σε πλανήσωσιν ἄνδρες ἀσεβεῖς, μηδὲ βουληθῇς, ἐὰν παρακαλέσωσί σε λέγοντες | [My son, let not ungodly men lead you astray, neither consent you [to them. | My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. | בְּנִי אִם־יְפַתּוּךָ חַטָּאִים אַל־תֹּבֵא׃ | |||
| Ἑλθὲ μεθ' ἡμῶν, κοινώνησον αἵματος, κρύψωμεν δὲ εἰς γῆν ἄνδρα δίκαιον ἀδίκως, | If they should exhort you, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth: | If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us wantonly ambush the innocent; | אִם־יֹאמְרוּ לְכָה אִתָּנוּ נֶאֶרְבָה לְדָם נִצְפְּנָה לְנָקִי חִנָּם׃ | |||
| καταπίωμεν δὲ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ ᾅδης ζῶντα καὶ ἄρωμεν αὐτοῦ τὴν μνήμην ἐκ γῆς· | and let us swallow him alive, as Hades [would, and remove the memorial of him from the earth: | like Sheol let us swallow them alive and whole, like those who go down to the Pit; | נִבְלָעֵם כִּשְׁאֹול חַיִּים וּתְמִימִים כְּיֹורְדֵי בֹור׃ | |||

| τὸν δὲ σὸν κλῆρον βάλε ἐν ἡμῖν, κοινὸν δὲ βαλλάντιον κτησώμεθα πάντες, καὶ μαρσίππιον ἓν γενηθήτω ἡμῖν. | but do you cast in your lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch: | throw in your lot among us, we will all have one purse" - | גֹּורָלְךָ תַּפִּיל בְּתֹוכֵנוּ כִּיס אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּנוּ׃ | |||

| οὐ γὰρ ἀδίκως ἐκτείνεται δίκτυα πτερωτοῖς. | for nets are not without cause spread for birds. | For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird; | כִּי־חִנָּם מְזֹרָה הָרָשֶׁת בְּעֵינֵי כָל־בַּעַל כָּנָף׃ | |||
| αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἱ φόνου μετέχοντες θησαυρίζουσιν ἑαυτοῖς κακά, ἡ δὲ καταστροφὴ ἀνδρῶν παρανόμων κακή. | For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil. | but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they set an ambush for their own lives. | וְהֵם לְדָםָם יֶאֱרֹבוּ יִצְפְּנוּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָם׃ | |||
| αὗται αἱ ὁδοί εἰσιν πάντων τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα· τῇ γὰρ ἀσεβείᾳ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ψυχὴν ἀφαιροῦνται. | These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life. | Such are the ways of all who get gain by violence; it takes away the life of its possessors. | כֵּן אָרְחֹות כָּל־בֹּצֵעַ בָּצַע אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ בְּעָלָיו יִקָּח׃ ף | |||
| Σοφία ἐν ἐξόδοις ὑμνεῖται, ἐν δὲ πλατείαις παρρησίαν ἄγει, | Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly. | Wisdom calls. Pr.1.20-33 | Wisdom cries aloud in the street; in the markets she raises her voice; | חָכְמֹות בַּחוּץ תָּרֹנָּה בָּרְחֹבֹות תִּתֵּן קֹולָהּ׃ | ||
| ἐπ' ἄκρων δὲ τειχέων κηρύσσεται, ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις δυναστῶν παρεδρεύει, ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις πόλεως θαρροῦσα λέγει | And she makes proclamation on the top of the walls, and sits by the gates of princes; and at the gates of the city boldly says, | on the top of the walls she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: | בְּרֹאשׁ הֹמִיֹּות תִּקְרָא בְּפִתְחֵי שְׁעָרִים בָּעִיר אֲמָרֶיהָ תֹאמֵר׃ | |||
| Ὅσον ἂν χρόνον ἄκακοι ἔχωνται τῆς δικαιοσύνης, οὐκ αἰ σχυνθήσονται· οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες, τῆς ὕβρεως ὄντες ἐπιθυμηταί, ἀσεβεῖς γενόμενοι ἐμίσησαν αἴσθησιν | So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs. | "How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? | עַד־מָתַי פְּתָיִם תְּאֵהֲבוּ פֶתִי וְלֵצִים לָצֹון חָמְדוּ לָהֶם וּכְסִילִים יִשְׂנְאוּ־דָעַת׃ | |||
| καὶ ὑπεύθυνοι ἐγένοντο ἐλέγχοις. ἰδοὺ προήσομαι ὑμῖν ἐμῆς πνοῆς ῥῆσιν, διδάξω δὲ ὑμᾶς τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον. | Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech. | Give heed to my reproof; behold, I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you. | תָּשׁוּבוּ לְתֹוכַחְתִּי הִנֵּה אַבִּיעָה לָכֶם רוּחִי אֹודִיעָה דְבָרַי אֶתְכֶם׃ | |||
| ἐπειδὴ ἐκάλουν καὶ οὐχ ὑπηκούσατε καὶ ἐξέτεινον λόγους καὶ οὐ προσείχετε, | Since I called, and you did not listen; and I spoke at length, and you gave no heed; | Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, | יַעַן קָרָאתִי וַתְּמָאֵנוּ נָטִיתִי יָדִי וְאֵין מַקְשִׁיב׃ | |||
| ἀλλὰ ἀκύρους ἐποιεῖτε ἐμὰς βουλάς, τοῖς δὲ ἐμοῖς ἐλέγχοις ἠπειθήσατε, | but you set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs; | and you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, | וַתִּפְרְעוּ כָל־עֲצָתִי וְתֹוכַחְתִּי לֹא אֲבִיתֶם׃ | |||
| τοιγαροῦν κἀγὼ τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ ἀπωλείᾳ ἐπιγελάσομαι, καταχαροῦμαι δέ, ἡνίκα ἂν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος, | therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against [you when ruin comes upon you: | I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you, | גַּם־אֲנִי בְּאֵידְכֶם אֶשְׂחָק אֶלְעַג בְּבֹא פַחְדְּכֶם׃ | |||
| καὶ ὡς ἂν ἀφίκηται ὑμῖν ἄφνω θόρυβος, ἡ δὲ καταστροφὴ ὁμοίως καταιγίδι παρῇ, καὶ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν θλῖψις καὶ πολιορκία, ἢ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος. | yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and [your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you. | when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. | בְּבֹא כ= כְשַׁאֲוָה ק= כְשֹׁואָה פַּחְדְּכֶם וְאֵידְכֶם כְּסוּפָה יֶאֱתֶה בְּבֹא עֲלֵיכֶם צָרָה וְצוּקָה׃ | |||
| ἔσται γὰρ ὅταν ἐπικαλέσησθέ με, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν· ζητήσουσίν με κακοὶ καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν. | For it shall be that when you call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find [me. | Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. | אָז יִקְרָאֻנְנִי וְלֹא אֶעֱנֶה יְשַׁחֲרֻנְנִי וְלֹא יִמְצָאֻנְנִי׃ | |||
| ἐμίσησαν γὰρ σοφίαν, τὸν δὲ φόβον τοῦ κυρίου οὐ προ είλαντο | For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord: | Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, | תַּחַת כִּי־שָׂנְאוּ דָעַת וְיִרְאַת יְהֹוָה לֹא בָחָרוּ׃ | |||
| οὐδὲ ἤθελον ἐμαῖς προσέχειν βουλαῖς, ἐμυκτήριζον δὲ ἐμοὺς ἐλέγχους. | neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs. | would have none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof, | לֹא־אָבוּ לַעֲצָתִי נָאֲצוּ כָּל־תֹּוכַחְתִּי׃ | |||
| τοιγαροῦν ἔδονται τῆς ἑαυτῶν ὁδοῦ τοὺς καρποὺς καὶ τῆς ἑαυτῶν ἀσεβείας πλησθήσονται· | Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness. | therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way and be sated with their own devices. | וְיֹאכְלוּ מִפְּרִי דַרְכָּם וּמִמֹּעֲצֹתֵיהֶם יִשְׂבָּעוּ׃ | |||
| ἀνθ' ὧν γὰρ ἠδίκουν νηπίους, φονευθήσονται, καὶ ἐξετασμὸς ἀσεβεῖς ὀλεῖ. | For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly. | For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacence of fools destroys them; | כִּי מְשׁוּבַת פְּתָיִם תַּהַרְגֵם וְשַׁלְוַת כְּסִילִים תְּאַבְּדֵם׃ | |||
| ὁ δὲ ἐμοῦ ἀκούων κατασκηνώσει ἐπ' ἐλπίδι καὶ ἡσυχάσει ἀφόβως ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ. | But he that listens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil. | but he who listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of evil." | וְשֹׁמֵעַ לִי יִשְׁכָּן־בֶּטַח וְשַׁאֲןַן מִפַּחַד רָעָה׃ ף | |||
| Υἱέ, ἐὰν δεξάμενος ῥῆσιν ἐμῆς ἐντολῆς κρύψῃς παρὰ σεαυτῷ, | [My son, if you will receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it with you; | The rewards of Wisdom. Pr.2.1-22 | My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, | בְּנִי אִם־תִּקַּח אֲמָרָי וּמִצְוֹתַי תִּצְפֹּן אִתָּךְ׃ | ||
| ὑπακούσεται σοφίας τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ παραβαλεῖς καρδίαν σου εἰς σύνεσιν, παραβαλεῖς δὲ αὐτὴν ἐπὶ νουθέτησιν τῷ υἱῷ σου. | your ear shall listen to wisdom; you shall also apply your heart to understanding, and shall apply it to the instruction of your son. | making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; | לְהַקְשִׁיב לַחָכְמָה אָזְנֶךָ תַּטֶּה לִבְּךָ לַתְּבוּנָה׃ | |||
| ἐὰν γὰρ τὴν σοφίαν ἐπικαλέσῃ καὶ τῇ συνέσει δῷς φωνήν σου, τὴν δὲ αἴσθησιν ζητήσῃς μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ, | For it you shall call to wisdom, and utter your voice for understanding; | yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, | כִּי אִם לַבִּינָה תִקְרָא לַתְּבוּנָה תִּתֵּן קֹולֶךָ׃ | |||
| καὶ ἐὰν ζητήσῃς αὐτὴν ὡς ἀργύριον καὶ ὡς θησαυροὺς ἐξερευνήσῃς αὐτήν, | and if you shall seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures; | if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures; | אִם־תְּבַקְשֶׁנָּה כַכָּסֶף וְכַמַּטְמֹונִים תַּחְפְּשֶׂנָּה׃ | |||
| τότε συνήσεις φόβον κυρίου καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν θεοῦ εὑρήσεις. | then shall you understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. | then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. | אָז תָּבִין יִרְאַת יְהוָה וְדַעַת אֱלֹהִים תִּמְצָא׃ | |||
| ὅτι κύριος δίδωσιν σοφίαν, καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ γνῶσις καὶ σύνεσις· | For the Lord gives wisdom; and from his presence [come knowledge and understanding, | For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; | כִּי־יְהוָה יִתֵּן חָכְמָה מִפִּיו דַּעַת וּתְבוּנָה׃ | |||
| καὶ θησαυρίζει τοῖς κατορθοῦσι σωτηρίαν, ὑπερασπιεῖ τὴν πορείαν αὐτῶν | and he treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: he will protect their way; | he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, | כ= וְצָפַן ק= יִצְפֹּן לַיְשָׁרִים תּוּשִׁיָּה מָגֵן לְהֹלְכֵי תֹם׃ | |||
| τοῦ φυλάξαι ὁδοὺς δικαιωμάτων καὶ ὁδὸν εὐλαβουμένων αὐτὸν διαφυλάξει. | that he may guard the righteous ways: and he will preserve the way of them that fear him. | guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints. | לִנְצֹר אָרְחֹות מִשְׁפָּט וְדֶרֶךְ כ= חֲסִידֹו ק= חֲסִידָיו יִשְׁמֹר׃ | |||
| τότε συνήσεις δικαιοσύνην καὶ κρίμα καὶ κατορθώσεις πάντας ἄξονας ἀγαθούς. | Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgement; and shall direct all your course aright. | Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; | אָז תָּבִין צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט וּמֵישָׁרִים כָּל־מַעְגַּל־טֹוב׃ | |||
| ἐὰν γὰρ ἔλθῃ ἡ σοφία εἰς σὴν διάνοιαν, ἡ δὲ αἴσθησις τῇ σῇ ψυχῇ καλὴ εἶναι δόξῃ, | For if wisdom shall come into your understanding, and discernment shall seem pleasing to your soul, | for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; | כִּי־תָבֹוא חָכְמָה בְלִבֶּךָ וְדַעַת לְנַפְשְׁךָ יִנְעָם׃ | |||
| βουλὴ καλὴ φυλάξει σε, ἔννοια δὲ ὁσία τηρήσει σε, | good counsel shall guard you, and holy understanding shall keep you; | discretion will watch over you; understanding will guard you; | מְזִמָּה תִּשְׁמֹר עָלֶיךָ תְּבוּנָה תִנְצְרֶכָּה׃ | |||
| ἵνα ῥύσηταί σε ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ κακῆς καὶ ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς λαλοῦντος μηδὲν πιστόν. | to deliver you from the evil way, and from the man that speaks nothing faithfully. | delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, | לְהַצִּילְךָ מִדֶּרֶךְ רָע מֵאִישׁ מְדַבֵּר תַּהְפֻּכֹות׃ | |||
| ὦ οἱ ἐγκαταλείποντες ὁδοὺς εὐθείας τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ὁδοῖς σκότους, | Alas [for those who forsake right paths, to walk in ways of darkness; | who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, | הַעֹזְבִים אָרְחֹות יֹשֶׁר לָלֶכֶת בְּדַרְכֵי־חֹשֶׁךְ׃ | |||
| οἱ εὐφραινόμενοι ἐπὶ κακοῖς καὶ χαίροντες ἐπὶ διαστροφῇ κακῇ, | who rejoice in evils, and delight in wicked perverseness; | who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil; | הַשְּׂמֵחִים לַעֲשֹׂות רָע יָגִילוּ בְּתַהְפֻּכֹות רָע׃ | |||
| ὧν αἱ τρίβοι σκολιαὶ καὶ καμπύλαι αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῶν | whose paths are crooked, and their courses winding; | men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. | אֲשֶׁר אָרְחֹתֵיהֶם עִקְּשִׁים וּנְלֹוזִים בְּמַעְגְּלֹותָם׃ | |||
| τοῦ μακράν σε ποιῆσαι ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ εὐθείας καὶ ἀλλότριον τῆς δικαίας γνώμης. | to remove you far from the straight way, and to estrange you from a righteous purpose. [My son, let not evil counsel overtake you, | You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adventuress with her smooth words, | לְהַצִּילְךָ מֵאִשָּׁה זָרָה מִנָּכְרִיָּה אֲמָרֶיהָ הֶחֱלִיקָה׃ | |||
| υἱέ, μή σε καταλάβῃ κακὴ βουλὴ ἡ ἀπολείπουσα διδασκαλίαν νεότητος καὶ διαθήκην θείαν ἐπιλελησμένη· | [of her who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and forgotten the covenant of God. | who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; | הַעֹזֶבֶת אַלּוּף נְעוּרֶיהָ וְאֶת־בְּרִית אֱלֹהֶיהָ שָׁכֵחָה׃ | |||
| ἔθετο γὰρ παρὰ τῷ θανάτῳ τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς καὶ παρὰ τῷ ᾅδῃ μετὰ τῶν γηγενῶν τοὺς ἄξονας αὐτῆς· | For she has fixed her house near death, and [guided her wheels near Hades with the giants. | for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the shades; | כִּי שָׁחָה אֶל־מָוֶת בֵּיתָהּ וְאֶל־רְפָאִים מַעְגְּלֹתֶיהָ׃ | |||
| πάντες οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ οὐκ ἀναστρέψουσιν οὐδὲ μὴ καταλάβωσιν τρίβους εὐθείας· οὐ γὰρ καταλαμβάνονται ὑπὸ ἐνιαυτῶν ζωῆς. | None that go by her shall return, neither shall they take hold of right paths, for they are not apprehended of the years of life. | none who go to her come back nor do they regain the paths of life. | כָּל־בָּאֶיהָ לֹא יְשׁוּבוּן וְלֹא־יַשִּׂיגוּ אָרְחֹות חַיִּים׃ | |||
| εἰ γὰρ ἐπορεύοντο τρίβους ἀγαθάς, εὕροσαν ἂν τρίβους δικαιοσύνης λείους. | For had they gone in good paths, they would have found the paths of righteousness easy. | So you will walk in the way of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. | לְמַעַן תֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ טֹובִים וְאָרְחֹות צַדִּיקִים תִּשְׁמֹר׃ | |||
| χρηστοὶ ἔσονται οἰκήτορες γῆς, ἄκακοι δὲ ὑπολειφθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ, ὅτι εὐθεῖς κατασκηνώσουσι γῆν, καὶ ὅσιοι ὑπολειφθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ· | For the upright shall dwell in the earth, and the holy shall be left behind in it. | For the upright will inhabit the land, and men of integrity will remain in it; | כִּי־יְשָׁרִים יִשְׁכְּנוּ־אָרֶץ וּתְמִימִים יִוָּתְרוּ בָהּ׃ | |||
| ὁδοὶ ἀσεβῶν ἐκ γῆς ὀλοῦνται, οἱ δὲ παράνομοι ἐξωσθήσονται ἀπ' αὐτῆς. | The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth, and transgressors shall be driven away from it. | but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it. | וּרְשָׁעִים מֵאֶרֶץ יִכָּרֵתוּ וּבֹוגְדִים יִסְּחוּ מִמֶּנָּה׃ ף | |||
