Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 Herren afskyr overlagt bedrag, men glæder sig over oprigtig ærlighed. 2 Hovmod fører til fald, ydmyghed fører til visdom. 3 Retskafnes ærlighed fører til fremgang, de onde ødelægges af deres uærlighed. 4 Rigdom gavner intet på dommens dag, retskaffen levevis redder fra døden. 5 De godes retskaffenhed jævner vejen for dem, de onde rammes af deres egen ondskab. 6 De godes retsindighed bliver deres redning, de svigefulde snubler i deres griskhed. 7 Når de gudløse dør, dør alle deres forhåbninger, for alt, hvad de levede for, bliver til intet. 8 De gudfrygtige reddes ud af faren, de gudløse fanges i snaren. 9 Gudløses falske anklager bringer ødelæggelse, retskafne reddes ved deres visdom. 10 Når retskafne har fremgang, er der fest i byen, når onde bliver straffet, er der megen glæde. 11 De gudfrygtiges bønner får byen til at blomstre, de gudløses intriger lægger den i ruiner. 12 Den, der håner sin næste, er uden forstand, den kloge har lært at holde mund. 13 Den, der løber med sladder, snakker over sig, den trofaste kan holde på en hemmelighed. 14 Mangel på ledelse fører til lovløshed, vise rådgivere bringer redning. 15 Det er farligt at kautionere for en fremmed, den, der afslår at gøre det, undgår problemer. 16 En venlig kvinde vinder respekt, nådesløse mænd vinder kun rigdom. 17 Venlighed er sundt for sjælen, ubarmhjertighed ødelægger kroppen. 18 De ondes udbytte er kun blændværk, de retskafne får den sande belønning. 19 At holde fast ved retskaffenhed fører til livet, at elske ondskab styrter en i døden. 20 Herren afskyr folk med falske hjerter, men han glæder sig over ædle motiver. 21 De onde slipper bestemt ikke for straf, men de gudfrygtige går fri. 22 Som en guldring i en grisetryne er en smuk kvinde uden taktfølelse. 23 De gudfrygtige ønsker det, som er godt, de gudløse kan kun vente vrede og straf. 24 Den gavmilde øger sin rigdom, gnieren øger kun sin fattigdom. 25 Den, der giver til andre, får mere igen, den, der afhjælper nød, bliver selv hjulpet. 26 De, der nægter at hjælpe, bliver mødt med vrede, de, der deler med andre, bliver hyldet af folk. 27 Den, der søger efter det gode, finder velvilje, den, der leder efter problemer, finder dem også. 28 Den, der stoler på rigdom, visner som efterårets blade, den, der stoler på Gud, grønnes som forårets løv. 29 Den, der bringer sin familie i ulykke, mister sin arv, tåben ender som tjener for den kloge. 30 Den retskafne er som et livets træ, den vise redder manges liv. 31 Hvis retskafne mennesker får løn som forskyldt, hvordan skal det så gå de ugudelige syndere?

King James Version

1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. 2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. 4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. 5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. 7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. 9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. 10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. 11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. 13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. 14 Where no counsel is , the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. 15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it : and he that hateth suretiship is sure. 16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches. 17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. 18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. 19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. 20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. 21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. 22 As a jewel of gold in a swine' snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. 23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. 24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it . 27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. 29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. 31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
