Proverbs 12
1 Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
喜爱管教的，就是喜爱知识； 恨恶责备的，却是畜类。
2 A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠； 设诡计的人，耶和华必定他的罪。
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
人靠恶行不能坚立； 义人的根必不动摇。
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
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。
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
义人的思念是公平； 恶人的计谋是诡诈。
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血； 正直人的口必拯救人。
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
恶人倾覆，归于无有； 义人的家必站得住。
8 A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
人必按自己的智慧被称赞； 心中乖谬的，必被藐视。
9 Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
被人轻贱，却有仆人， 强如自尊，缺少食物。
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
义人顾惜他牲畜的命； 恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
11 He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
耕种自己田地的，必得饱食； 追随虚浮的，却是无知。
12 The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
恶人想得坏人的网罗； 义人的根得以结实。
13 In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗； 但义人必脱离患难。
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
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。
15 The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
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。
16 A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
愚妄人的恼怒立时显露； 通达人能忍辱藏羞。
17 He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
说出真话的，显明公义； 作假见证的，显出诡诈。
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
说话浮躁的，如刀刺人； 智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
口吐真言，永远坚立； 舌说谎话，只存片时。
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
图谋恶事的，心存诡诈； 劝人和睦的，便得喜乐。
21 There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
义人不遭灾害；恶人满受祸患。
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶； 行事诚实的，为他所喜悦。
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
通达人隐藏知识； 愚昧人的心彰显愚昧。
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
殷勤人的手必掌权； 懒惰的人必服苦。
25 Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
人心忧虑，屈而不伸； 一句良言，使心欢乐。
26 The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
义人引导他的邻舍； 恶人的道叫人失迷。
27 The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
懒惰的人不烤打猎所得的； 殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物。
28 In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
在公义的道上有生命； 其路之中并无死亡。
