5 Whoever mocks the poor ¹insults his Maker; he who is ²glad at calamity will not go ³unpunished.

6 ⁴Grandchildren are ⁵the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.

7 Fine speech is not ⁶becoming to a fool; still less is ⁷false speech to a prince.

8 ⁸A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.

9 Whoever ⁹covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter ¹⁰separates close friends.

10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and ¹¹a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet ¹²a she-bear robbed of her cubs ¹³rather than a fool in his folly.

13 If anyone ¹⁴returns evil for good, ¹⁵evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so ¹⁶quit before the quarrel breaks out.

15 He who ¹⁷justifies the wicked and he who ¹⁸condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ¹⁹to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 ²⁰A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who ²¹makes his door high seeks destruction.

20 ²²A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21 He who ²³sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 ²⁴A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit ²⁵dries up the bones.

23 The wicked accepts ²⁶a bribe in secret^a to ²⁷pervert the ways of justice.

24 ²⁸The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 ²⁹A foolish son is a grief to his father ³⁰and bitterness to ³¹her who bore him.

Provérbios 17:5 O que escarnece do pobre insulta ao seu Criador; o que se alegra da calamidade não ficará impune.

Proverbs 17:5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

Proverbs 17:5 He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker; He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.

Provérbios 17:5 Quem zomba dos pobres mostra desprezo pelo Criador deles;quem se alegra com a desgraça não ficará sem castigo.
