Proverbios 20
Reina Valera Actualizada
20 El vino hace burla; el licor alborota. Y cualquiera que se descarría no es sabio.
2 Como rugido de león es la indignación del rey;
el que lo enfurece peca contra sí mismo.
3 Al hombre le es honroso apartarse
de la contienda,
pero todo insensato se envolverá
en ella.
4 El perezoso no ara al comienzo
de la estación;
buscará en el tiempo de la siega
y no hallará.
5 Como aguas profundas es el propósito en el corazón del hombre,
pero el hombre de entendimiento
logrará extraerlo.
6 Muchos hombres proclaman su propia bondad;
pero un hombre fiel, ¿quién lo hallará?
7 El justo camina en su integridad; bienaventurados serán sus hijos después de él.
8 El rey se sienta en el trono del juicio; con su mirada disipa todo mal.
9 ¿Quién podrá decir: “Yo he limpiado mi corazón;
limpio estoy de mi pecado”?
10 Pesas falsas y medidas falsas[a]: Ambas cosas son una abominación
al SEÑOR.
11 Aun el muchacho es conocido por sus hechos
si su conducta es pura y recta.
12 El oído que oye y el ojo que ve, ambas cosas ha hecho el SEÑOR.
13 No ames el sueño para que no
te empobrezcas;
abre tus ojos y te saciarás de pan.
14 El que compra dice:
“Malo es, malo es”;
pero apartándose se jacta
de lo comprado.
15 Existen el oro y una gran cantidad
de perlas,
pero los labios que saben son algo más precioso.
16 Quítale su ropa al que salió fiador del extraño,
y tómale prenda al que se fía de
la mujer ajena[b].
17 Sabroso es al hombre el pan
mal adquirido;
pero cuando haya llenado su boca se convertirá en cascajo.
18 Confirma los planes mediante
el consejo
y haz la guerra con estrategia.
19 El que anda con chismes
revela el secreto;
no te metas con el suelto de lengua.
20 Al que maldice a su padre
o a su madre,
su lámpara se le apagará en medio de las tinieblas.
21 Los bienes adquiridos apresuradamente al comienzo
al fin de cuentas no serán bendecidos.
22 No digas: “Devolveré el mal”. Espera al SEÑOR y él te salvará.
23 Las pesas falsas[c] son una abominación al SEÑOR;
y la balanza de engaño no es algo bueno.
24 Del SEÑOR son los pasos del hombre; ¿cómo podrá el hombre, por sí solo, entender su camino?
25 Es una trampa para el hombre declarar a la ligera algo como consagrado,
y reflexionar solo después de haber hecho los votos.
26 El rey sabio dispersa a los impíos,
y sobre ellos hace rodar la rueda.
27 Lámpara del SEÑOR es el espíritu del hombre,
la cual escudriña lo más recóndito del ser.
28 La misericordia y la verdad guardan
al rey,
y con justicia[d] sustenta su trono.
29 La gloria de los jóvenes es su fuerza;
y el esplendor de los ancianos, sus canas.
30 Las marcas de los azotes purifican del mal,
y los golpes purifican al corazón.

Proverbs 20
New King James Version
Proverbs 20
New King James Version
Wine Is a Mocker
20 Wine (A)is a mocker,
Strong drink is a brawler,
And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.
2 The [a]wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion;
Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.
3 (B)It is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,
But a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim each his own [b]goodness,
But who can find a faithful man?
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment
Scatters all evil with his eyes.
9 (G)Who can say, “I have made my heart clean,
I am pure from my sin”?
10 (H)Diverse weights and diverse measures,
They are both alike, an abomination to the Lord.
11 Even a child is (I)known by his deeds,
Whether what he does is pure and right.
12 (J)The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.
13 (K)Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.
14 “It is [c]good for nothing,” cries the buyer;
But when he has gone his way, then he boasts.
15 There is gold and a multitude of rubies,
But (L)the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 (M)Take the garment of one who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it as a pledge when it is for a seductress.
17 (N)Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
19 (Q)He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;
Therefore do not associate with one (R)who flatters with his lips.
23 Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord,
And dishonest scales are not good.
24 A man’s steps are of the Lord;
How then can a man understand his own way?
25 It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows.
26 (Y)A wise king sifts out the wicked,
And brings the threshing wheel over them.
29 The glory of young men is their strength,
And (AB)the splendor of old men is their gray head.
30 Blows that hurt cleanse away evil,
As do stripes the [g]inner depths of the heart.

King James Version
Proverbs 20
King James Version
20 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.
11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.
24 Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?
25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Provérbios 20

20 O vinho produz zombadores; o álcool leva a brigas;
quem é dominado pela bebida não é sábio.
2 O furor do rei é como o rugido do leão;
quem provoca sua ira põe a vida em risco.
3 Evitar contendas é sinal de honra;
apenas o insensato insiste em brigar.
4 Quem tem preguiça de arar a terra na época certa
não terá comida no tempo da colheita.
5 Os bons conselhos ficam no fundo do coração,
mas a pessoa sensata os traz à tona.
6 Muitos se dizem amigos leais,
mas quem pode encontrar alguém realmente confiável?
7 O justo anda em integridade;
felizes os filhos que seguem seus passos.
8 Quando o rei se senta para julgar, analisa todas as provas
e distingue entre o mal e o bem.
9 Quem pode dizer: “Purifiquei o coração;
estou limpo e sem pecado”?
10 Dois pesos e duas medidas:[a]
toda espécie de desonestidade é detestável para o Senhor.
11 Até crianças mostram quem são, por sua conduta,
se agem de modo puro e correto.
12 Ouvidos para ouvir e olhos para ver:
ambos são dádivas do Senhor.
13 Se você ama o sono, acabará pobre;
mantenha os olhos abertos e terá fartura de alimento!
14 O comprador pechincha e diz: “Não vale nada”,
mas depois conta vantagem de seu bom negócio.
15 As palavras que transmitem conhecimento são mais valiosas
que grandes quantidades de ouro e rubis.
16 Quem aceita ser fiador de um desconhecido perderá a roupa do corpo;
ela ficará como pagamento de quem garante a dívida do estranho.[b]
17 Pão roubado tem sabor doce,
mas depois será como areia na boca.
18 Com bons conselhos os planos são bem-sucedidos;
não saia para a guerra sem boas orientações.
19 O fofoqueiro vive espalhando segredos;
portanto, evite a companhia de quem fala demais.
20 Quem insulta o pai ou a mãe
terá sua luz apagada na mais absoluta escuridão.
21 A herança obtida antes da hora
acaba não sendo bênção no final.
22 Não diga: “Vou me vingar deste mal”;
espere o Senhor resolver a questão.
23 A desonestidade é detestável para o Senhor;
ele não se agrada de balanças adulteradas.
24 É o Senhor que dirige nossos passos;
então por que tentar entender tudo ao longo do caminho?
25 É uma armadilha prometer algo a Deus apressadamente
e só depois calcular o custo.
26 O rei sábio espalha os perversos como trigo
e passa sobre eles a roda de debulhar.
27 A luz do Senhor penetra o espírito humano[c]
e revela todas as intenções ocultas.
28 Bondade e fidelidade protegem o rei;
seu trono é firmado pelo amor.
29 A glória dos jovens está em sua força,
e o esplendor dos idosos, em seus cabelos brancos.
30 O castigo físico elimina o mal;[d]
essa disciplina purifica o coração.
Proverbs 20
New International Version
Proverbs 20
New International Version
2 A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion;(E)
those who anger him forfeit their lives.(F)
5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,(K)
but one who has insight draws them out.
6 Many claim to have unfailing love,
but a faithful person who can find?(L)
10 Differing weights and differing measures—
the Lord detests them both.(S)
11 Even small children are known by their actions,
so is their conduct really pure(T) and upright?
12 Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the Lord has made them both.(U)
13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;(V)
stay awake and you will have food to spare.
14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—
then goes off and boasts about the purchase.
15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
16 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge(W) if it is done for an outsider.(X)
18 Plans are established by seeking advice;
so if you wage war, obtain guidance.(AA)
19 A gossip betrays a confidence;(AB)
so avoid anyone who talks too much.
20 If someone curses their father or mother,(AC)
their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.(AD)
21 An inheritance claimed too soon
will not be blessed at the end.
22 Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!”(AE)
Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.(AF)
23 The Lord detests differing weights,
and dishonest scales do not please him.(AG)
24 A person’s steps are directed(AH) by the Lord.(AI)
How then can anyone understand their own way?(AJ)
25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.(AK)
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked;
he drives the threshing wheel over them.(AL)
29 The glory of young men is their strength,
gray hair the splendor of the old.(AQ)
