The Proverbs, chapter 13, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 13 Vulgate

   1 Filius sapiens disciplina patris; qui autem illusor est, non audit, cum arguitur.
   2 De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis, anima autem praevaricatorum violentia.
   3 Qui custodit os suum, custodit animam suam; qui autem incautus est eloquio, ruina est ei.
   4 Vult et non habet piger, anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
   5 Verbum mendax iustus detestabitur, impius autem confundit et dehonestat.
   6 Iustitia custodit innocentem in via, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.
   7 Est qui quasi dives habetur, cum nihil habeat; et est qui quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
   8 Redemptio animae viri divitiae suae; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
   9 Lux iustorum laetificat, lucerna autem impiorum exstinguetur.
   10 Inter superbos tantum iurgia sunt, et apud humiles sapientia.
   11 Substantia festinata minuetur; qui autem colligit manu, multiplicat.
   12 Spes, quae differtur, affligit animam, lignum vitae desiderium veniens.
   13 Qui contemnit verbum, ipse se obligat; qui autem timet praeceptum, retribuetur ei.
   14 Lex sapientis fons vitae, ut declinet a laqueis mortis.
   15 Intellegentia bona dabit gratiam, in itinere infidelium vorago.
   16 Omnis astutus agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est, aperit stultitiam.
   17 Nuntius impius cadet in malum, legatus autem fidelis sanitas.
   18 Egestas et ignominia ei, qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti, glorificabitur.
   19 Desiderium, si compleatur, delectat animam; detestantur stulti fugere mala.
   20 Qui cum sapientibus graditur, sapiens erit; amicus stultorum malus efficietur.
   21 Peccatores persequitur malum, et iustis retribuentur bona.
   22 Bonus relinquit heredes filios et nepotes; et custoditur iusto substantia peccatoris.
   23 Multi cibi in novalibus pauperum, et est qui perit, deficiente iudicio.
   24 Qui parcit virgae, odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum, instanter erudit.
   25 Iustus comedit et replet animam suam, venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.

King James Version

   1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
   2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
   3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
   4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
   5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
   6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
   7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
   8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
   9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
   10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
   11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
   12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
   13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
   14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
   15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
   16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
   17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
   18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
   19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
   20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
   21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
   22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
   23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
   24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
   25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
