Proverbios 14
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
14 La mujer sabia edifica su casa;
la necia, con sus manos la destruye.
2 El que va por buen camino teme al Señor;
el que va por mal camino lo desprecia.
3 De la boca del necio brota arrogancia;
los labios del sabio son su propia protección.
4 Donde no hay bueyes, el granero está vacío;
con la fuerza del buey aumenta la cosecha.
5 El testigo verdadero jamás engaña;
el testigo falso propaga mentiras.
6 El insolente busca sabiduría y no la halla;
para el entendido, el conocimiento es cosa fácil.
7 Mantente a distancia del necio,
pues en sus labios no hallarás conocimiento.
8 La sabiduría del prudente es discernir sus caminos,
pero al necio lo engaña su propia necedad.
9 Los necios hacen mofa de sus propias faltas,
pero los íntegros cuentan con el favor de Dios.
10 Cada corazón conoce sus propias amarguras,
y ningún extraño comparte su alegría.
11 La casa del malvado será destruida,
pero la morada del justo prosperará.
12 Hay caminos que al hombre le parecen rectos,
pero que acaban por ser caminos de muerte.
13 También de reírse duele el corazón,
y hay alegrías que acaban en tristeza.
14 El inconstante recibirá todo el pago de su inconstancia;
el hombre bueno, el premio de sus acciones.
15 El ingenuo cree todo lo que le dicen;
el prudente se fija por dónde va.
16 El sabio teme al Señor y se aparta del mal,
pero el necio es arrogante y demasiado confiado.
17 El iracundo comete locuras,
pero el prudente sabe aguantar.[a]
18 Herencia de los inexpertos es la necedad;
corona de los prudentes, el conocimiento.
19 Los malvados se postrarán ante los buenos;
los impíos, ante el tribunal[b] de los justos.
20 Al pobre hasta sus amigos lo aborrecen,
pero son muchos los que aman al rico.
21 Es un pecado despreciar al prójimo;
¡dichoso el que se compadece de los pobres!
22 Pierden el camino los que maquinan el mal,
pero hallan amor y verdad los que hacen el bien.
23 Todo esfuerzo tiene su recompensa,
pero quedarse solo en palabras lleva a la pobreza.
24 La corona del sabio es su sabiduría;[c]
la de los necios, su necedad.
25 El testigo veraz se libra de la muerte,
pero el testigo falso miente.
26 El temor del Señor es un baluarte seguro
que sirve de refugio a los hijos.
27 El temor del Señor es fuente de vida,
y aleja al hombre de las redes de la muerte.
28 Gloria del rey es gobernar a muchos;
un príncipe sin súbditos está arruinado.
29 El que es paciente muestra gran discernimiento;
el que es agresivo muestra mucha insensatez.
30 El corazón tranquilo da vida al cuerpo,
pero la envidia corroe los huesos.
31 El que oprime al pobre ofende a su creador,
pero honra a Dios quien se apiada del necesitado.
32 El malvado cae por su propia maldad;
el justo halla refugio en su integridad.[d]
33 En el corazón de los sabios mora la sabiduría,
pero los necios ni siquiera la conocen.[e]
34 La justicia enaltece a una nación,
pero el pecado deshonra a todos los pueblos.
35 El rey favorece al siervo inteligente,
pero descarga su ira sobre el sinvergüenza.

14 La mujer sabia edifica su casa;
Mas la necia con sus manos la derriba.
2 El que camina en su rectitud teme a Jehová;
Mas el de caminos pervertidos lo menosprecia.
3 En la boca del necio está la vara de la soberbia;
Mas los labios de los sabios los guardarán.
4 Sin bueyes el granero está vacío;
Mas por la fuerza del buey hay abundancia de pan.
5 El testigo verdadero no mentirá;
Mas el testigo falso hablará mentiras.
6 Busca el escarnecedor la sabiduría y no la halla;
Mas al hombre entendido la sabiduría le es fácil.
7 Vete de delante del hombre necio,
Porque en él no hallarás labios de ciencia.
8 La ciencia del prudente está en entender su camino;
Mas la indiscreción de los necios es engaño.
9 Los necios se mofan del pecado;
Mas entre los rectos hay buena voluntad.
10 El corazón conoce la amargura de su alma;
Y extraño no se entremeterá en su alegría.
11 La casa de los impíos será asolada;
Pero florecerá la tienda de los rectos.
12 Hay camino que al hombre le parece derecho;
Pero su fin es camino de muerte.(A)
13 Aun en la risa tendrá dolor el corazón;
Y el término de la alegría es congoja.
14 De sus caminos será hastiado el necio de corazón;
Pero el hombre de bien estará contento del suyo.
15 El simple todo lo cree;
Mas el avisado mira bien sus pasos.
16 El sabio teme y se aparta del mal;
Mas el insensato se muestra insolente y confiado.
17 El que fácilmente se enoja hará locuras;
Y el hombre perverso será aborrecido.
18 Los simples heredarán necedad;
Mas los prudentes se coronarán de sabiduría.
19 Los malos se inclinarán delante de los buenos,
Y los impíos a las puertas del justo.
20 El pobre es odioso aun a su amigo;
Pero muchos son los que aman al rico.
21 Peca el que menosprecia a su prójimo;
Mas el que tiene misericordia de los pobres es bienaventurado.
22 ¿No yerran los que piensan el mal?
Misericordia y verdad alcanzarán los que piensan el bien.
23 En toda labor hay fruto;
Mas las vanas palabras de los labios empobrecen.
24 Las riquezas de los sabios son su corona;
Pero la insensatez de los necios es infatuación.
25 El testigo verdadero libra las almas;
Mas el engañoso hablará mentiras.
26 En el temor de Jehová está la fuerte confianza;
Y esperanza tendrán sus hijos.
27 El temor de Jehová es manantial de vida
Para apartarse de los lazos de la muerte.
28 En la multitud del pueblo está la gloria del rey;
Y en la falta de pueblo la debilidad del príncipe.
29 El que tarda en airarse es grande de entendimiento;
Mas el que es impaciente de espíritu enaltece la necedad.
30 El corazón apacible es vida de la carne;
Mas la envidia es carcoma de los huesos.
31 El que oprime al pobre afrenta a su Hacedor;
Mas el que tiene misericordia del pobre, lo honra.
32 Por su maldad será lanzado el impío;
Mas el justo en su muerte tiene esperanza.
33 En el corazón del prudente reposa la sabiduría;
Pero no es conocida en medio de los necios.
34 La justicia engrandece a la nación;
Mas el pecado es afrenta de las naciones.
35 La benevolencia del rey es para con el servidor entendido;
Mas su enojo contra el que lo avergüenza.
Proverbs 14
King James Version
Proverbs 14
King James Version
14 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

The Ways of Life and Death
14 The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord,
(A)But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride,
(B)But the lips of the wise will preserve them.
4 Where no oxen are, the [a]trough is clean;
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.

But (E)knowledge is easy to him who understands.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man,
When you do not perceive in him the lips of (F)knowledge.

But the folly of fools is deceit.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
And a stranger does not share its joy.
11 (H)The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.
13 Even in laughter the heart may sorrow,
And (L)the end of mirth may be grief.
14 The backslider in heart will be (M)filled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied [c]from (N)above.
15 The simple believes every word,
But the prudent considers well his steps.
16 (O)A wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.
17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,

(R)But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not go astray who devise evil?
But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.
23 In all labor there is profit,
But [e]idle chatter leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
But the foolishness of fools is folly.
26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And His children will have a place of refuge.
27 (T)The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death.
28 In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,
But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.
31 (X)He who oppresses the poor reproaches (Y)his Maker,
But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.
32 The wicked is banished in his wickedness,
But (Z)the righteous has a refuge in his death.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding,
But (AA)what is in the heart of fools is made known.
35 (AC)The king’s favor is toward a wise servant,
But his wrath is against him who causes shame.
