Proverbs - John Cunyus

Proverbs, 40
Guilt is not as great
when someone has stolen.
He stole out of hunger
that he might fill his soul.
6:31 deprehensus quoque reddet septuplum et omnem substantiam domus suae tradet
When seized, likewise,
he will pay back seven times
and hand over
all the substance
of his house.
6:32 qui autem adulter est propter cordis inopiam perdet animam suam
Yet one who is
an adulterer
will destroy
his impoverished soul.
6:33 turpitudinem et ignominiam congregat sibi et obprobrium illius non delebitur
He gathers to himself
a bad reputation and shame,
and his disrepute
with not disappear.
6:34 quia zelus et furor viri non parcet in die vindictae
because the husband’s
jealousy and fury,
will not evaporate
in the day of vengeance,
6:35 nec adquiescet cuiusquam precibus nec suscipiet pro redemptione dona plurima
nor will he be calmed
by any payment,
nor accept in settlement
many bribes.
