< 箴言 12 >
1 喜爱管教的,就是喜爱知识; 恨恶责备的,却是畜类。
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof [is] brutish.
2 善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠; 设诡计的人,耶和华必定他的罪。
A good [man] obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 才德的妇人是丈夫的冠冕; 贻羞的妇人如同朽烂在她丈夫的骨中。
A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed [is] as rottenness in his bones.
The thoughts of the righteous [are] right: [but] the counsels of the wicked [are] deceit.
6 恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血; 正直人的口必拯救人。
The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
The wicked are overthrown, and [are] not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 人必按自己的智慧被称赞; 心中乖谬的,必被藐视。
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
[He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
A righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
11 耕种自己田地的,必得饱食; 追随虚浮的,却是无知。
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain [persons is] void of understanding.
The wicked desireth the net of evil [men: ] but the root of the righteous yieldeth [fruit].
13 恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗; 但义人必脱离患难。
The wicked is snared by the transgression of [his] lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 人因口所结的果子,必饱得美福; 人手所做的,必为自己的报应。
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of [his] mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 愚妄人所行的,在自己眼中看为正直; 惟智慧人肯听人的劝教。
The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel [is] wise.
A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent [man] covereth shame.
17 说出真话的,显明公义; 作假见证的,显出诡诈。
[He that] speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18 说话浮躁的,如刀刺人; 智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.
20 图谋恶事的,心存诡诈; 劝人和睦的,便得喜乐。
Deceit [is] in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace [is] joy.
There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶; 行事诚实的,为他所喜悦。
Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly [are] his delight.
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
The righteous [is] more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 懒惰的人不烤打猎所得的; 殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物。
The slothful [man] roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man [is] precious.
In the way of righteousness [is] life; and [in] the pathway [thereof there is] no death.
