To lift up [the] face of a wicked [person] not [is] good to turn aside a righteous [person] in judgment.
6 愚昧人張嘴啟爭端， 開口招鞭打。
[the] lips of A fool they go in strife and mouth his for blows it calls.

11 富足人的財物是他的堅城， 在他心想，猶如高牆。
[the] wealth of A rich [person] [is] [the] town of strength his and like a wall high in own imagination his.
12 敗壞之先，人心驕傲； 尊榮以前，必有謙卑。
Before destruction it is haughty [the] heart of a person and [is] before honor humility.
13 未曾聽完先回答的， 便是他的愚昧和羞辱。
[one who] brings back A word before he listens [is] folly it of him and ignominy.
14 人有疾病，心能忍耐； 心靈憂傷，誰能承當呢？
[the] spirit of A person it will endure sickness his and a spirit stricken who? will he bear it.

18 掣籤能止息爭競， 也能解散強勝的人。
Contentions it puts an end to the lot and between mighty [people] it separates.
19 弟兄結怨，勸他和好，比取堅固城還難； 這樣的爭競如同堅寨的門閂。
A brother transgressed [is] more than a town of strength (and contentions *Q(K)*) [are] like [the] bar of a fortress.
20 人口中所結的果子，必充滿肚腹； 他嘴所出的，必使他飽足。
From [the] fruit of [the] mouth of a person it is satisfied belly his [the] produce of lips his he is satisfied.
21 生死在舌頭的權下， 喜愛它的，必吃它所結的果子。
Death and life [are] in [the] hand of [the] tongue and [those who] love it he will eat fruit its.
22 得着賢妻的，是得着好處， 也是蒙了耶和華的恩惠。
He finds a wife he finds a good thing and he obtained pleasure from Yahweh.
23 貧窮人說哀求的話； 富足人用威嚇的話回答。
Supplications he speaks a poor [person] and a rich [person] he answers strong [words].
24 濫交朋友的，自取敗壞； 但有一朋友比弟兄更親密。
A person of companions [is] to be broken and there [is one who] loves cleaving more than a brother.
