2 LIBER PROVERBIORUM SALOMONIS Proverbs - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Proverbs - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
1 Fili mi, si susceperis sermones meos, et mandata mea absconderis penes te: The rewards of Wisdom. Pr.2.1-22
2 ut audiat sapientiam auris tua, inclina cor tuum ad cognoscendam prudentiam.  
3 Si enim sapientiam invocaveris, et inclinaveris cor tuum prudenti?;  
4 si qu?sieris eam quasi pecuniam, et sicut thesauros effoderis illam:  
5 tunc intelliges timorem Domini, et scientiam Dei invenies,  
6 quia Dominus dat sapientiam, et ex ore ejus prudentia et scientia.  
7 Custodiet rectorum salutem, et proteget gradientes simpliciter,  
8 servans semitas justiti?, et vias sanctorum custodiens.  
9 Tunc intelliges justitiam, et judicium, et ?quitatem, et omnem semitam bonam.  
10 Si intraverit sapientia cor tuum, et scientia anim? tu? placuerit,  
11 consilium custodiet te, et prudentia servabit te:  
12 ut eruaris a via mala, et ab homine qui perversa loquitur;  
13 qui relinquunt iter rectum, et ambulant per vias tenebrosas;  
14 qui l?tantur cum malefecerint, et exsultant in rebus pessimis;  
15 quorum vi? pervers? sunt, et infames gressus eorum.  
16 Ut eruaris a muliere aliena, et ab extranea qu? mollit sermones suos,  
17 et relinquit ducem pubertatis su?,  
18 et pacti Dei sui oblita est. Inclinata est enim ad mortem domus ejus, et ad inferos semit? ipsius.  
19 Omnes qui ingrediuntur ad eam non revertentur, nec apprehendent semitas vit?.  
20 Ut ambules in via bona, et calles justorum custodias:  
21 qui enim recti sunt habitabunt in terra, et simplices permanebunt in ea;  
22 impii vero de terra perdentur, et qui inique agunt auferentur ex ea.  

Notes:

For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions.
I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats.
I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website.
You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters.
