箴言 12
1 喜愛管教的，就是喜愛知識； 恨惡責備的，卻是畜類。
Whoever loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof [is] brutish.
2 善人必蒙耶和華的恩惠； 設詭計的人，耶和華必定他的罪。
A good [man] obtaineth favor from the LORD: but a man of wicked devices he will condemn.
3 人靠惡行不能堅立； 義人的根必不動搖。
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 才德的婦人是丈夫的冠冕； 貽羞的婦人如同朽爛在她丈夫的骨中。
A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed [is] as rottenness in his bones.
5 義人的思念是公平； 惡人的計謀是詭詐。
The thoughts of the righteous [are] right: [but] the counsels of the wicked [are] deceit.
6 惡人的言論是埋伏流人的血； 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.
7 惡人傾覆，歸於無有； 義人的家必站得住。
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稱讚； 心中乖謬的，必被藐視。
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9 被人輕賤，卻有僕人， 強如自尊，缺少食物。
[He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] better than he that honoreth himself, and is destitute of bread.
10 義人顧惜他牲畜的命； 惡人的憐憫也是殘忍。
A righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
11 耕種自己田地的，必得飽食； 追隨虛浮的，卻是無知。
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain [persons is] void of understanding.
12 惡人想得壞人的網羅； 義人的根得以結實。
The wicked desireth the net of evil [men]: but the root of the righteous yieldeth [fruit].
13 惡人嘴中的過錯是自己的網羅； 但義人必脫離患難。
The wicked is snared by the transgression of [his] lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 人因口所結的果子，必飽得美福； 人手所做的，必為自己的報應。
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of [his] mouth: and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered to him.
15 愚妄人所行的，在自己眼中看為正直； 惟智慧人肯聽人的勸教。
The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth to counsel [is] wise.
16 愚妄人的惱怒立時顯露； 通達人能忍辱藏羞。
A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent [man] covereth shame.
17 說出真話的，顯明公義； 作假見證的，顯出詭詐。
[He that] speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness, deceit.
18 說話浮躁的，如刀刺人； 智慧人的舌頭卻為醫人的良藥。
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.
19 口吐真言，永遠堅立； 舌說謊話，只存片時。
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.
20 圖謀惡事的，心存詭詐； 勸人和睦的，便得喜樂。
Deceit [is] in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace [is] joy.
21 義人不遭災害；惡人滿受禍患。
There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 說謊言的嘴為耶和華所憎惡； 行事誠實的，為他所喜悅。
Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly [are] his delight.
23 通達人隱藏知識； 愚昧人的心彰顯愚昧。
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 殷勤人的手必掌權； 懶惰的人必服苦。
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 人心憂慮，屈而不伸； 一句良言，使心歡樂。
Heaviness in the heart of man depresseth it: but a good word maketh it glad.
26 義人引導他的鄰舍； 惡人的道叫人失迷。
The righteous [is] more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 懶惰的人不烤打獵所得的； 殷勤的人卻得寶貴的財物。
The slothful [man] roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man [is] precious.
28 在公義的道上有生命； 其路之中並無死亡。
In the way of righteousness [is] life; and [in] the path [of it there is] no death.
