Proverbs 12
1 He that loueth instruction, loueth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is a foole.
喜愛管教的，就是喜愛知識； 恨惡責備的，卻是畜類。
2 A good man getteth fauour of the Lord: but the man of wicked immaginations will hee condemne.
善人必蒙耶和華的恩惠； 設詭計的人，耶和華必定他的罪。
3 A man cannot be established by wickednesse: but the roote of the righteous shall not be mooued.
人靠惡行不能堅立； 義人的根必不動搖。
4 A vertuous woman is the crowne of her husband: but she that maketh him ashamed, is as corruption in his bones.
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。
5 The thoughtes of the iust are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceitfull.
義人的思念是公平； 惡人的計謀是詭詐。
6 The talking of the wicked is to lye in waite for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will deliuer them.
惡人的言論是埋伏流人的血； 正直人的口必拯救人。
7 God ouerthroweth the wicked, and they are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
惡人傾覆，歸於無有； 義人的家必站得住。
8 A man shall be commended for his wisedome: but the froward of heart shalbe despised.
人必按自己的智慧被稱讚； 心中乖謬的，必被藐視。
9 He that is despised, and is his owne seruant, is better then he that boasteth himselfe and lacketh bread.
被人輕賤，卻有僕人， 強如自尊，缺少食物。
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruell.
義人顧惜他牲畜的命； 惡人的憐憫也是殘忍。
11 He that tilleth his lande, shalbe satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of vnderstanding.
耕種自己田地的，必得飽食； 追隨虛浮的，卻是無知。
12 The wicked desireth the net of euils: but the roote of the righteous giueth fruite.
惡人想得壞人的網羅； 義人的根得以結實。
13 The euill man is snared by the wickednesse of his lips, but the iust shall come out of aduersitie.
惡人嘴中的過錯是自己的網羅； 但義人必脫離患難。
14 A man shalbe satiate with good things by the fruite of his mouth, and the recompence of a mans hands shall God giue vnto him.
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。
15 The way of a foole is right in his owne eyes: but he that heareth counsell, is wise.
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。
16 A foole in a day shall be knowen by his anger: but he that couereth shame, is wise.

18 There is that speaketh wordes like the prickings of a sworde: but the tongue of wise men is health.
說話浮躁的，如刀刺人； 智慧人的舌頭卻為醫人的良藥。
19 The lip of trueth shall be stable for euer: but a lying tongue varieth incontinently.
口吐真言，永遠堅立； 舌說謊話，只存片時。
20 Deceite is in the heart of them that imagine euill: but to the counsellers of peace shall be ioye.
圖謀惡事的，心存詭詐； 勸人和睦的，便得喜樂。

在公義的道上有生命； 其路之中並無死亡。
