所罗门的箴言

10 以下是所罗门的箴言:

    智慧儿使父亲快乐,
    愚昧儿叫母亲担忧。
不义之财毫无益处,
    公义救人脱离死亡。
耶和华不让义人挨饿,
    祂使恶人的奢望成空。
游手好闲招致贫穷,
    勤奋努力带来富足。
精明儿夏季时贮藏,
    不肖子收成时酣睡。
祝福临到义人的头,
    残暴充满恶人的口。
义人流芳于世,
    恶人名声朽烂。
心存智慧的接受诫命;
    说话愚昧的自招灭亡。
行正道者活得安稳,
    走歪路者终必败露。
10 挤眉弄眼,带来忧伤;
    胡言乱语,导致灭亡。
11 义人的口是生命之泉,
    恶人的口却充满残暴。
12 恨能挑起各样纷争,
    爱能遮掩一切过犯。
13 明哲人口中有智慧,
    无知者背上受鞭打。
14 智者储藏知识,
    愚人口惹祸端。
15 钱财是富人的坚垒,
    贫乏带给穷人毁灭。
16 义人的报酬是生命,
    恶人的果子是惩罚。
17 听从教诲的,走生命之路;
    拒绝责备的,必步入歧途。
18 暗藏仇恨的满口虚谎,
    散布流言的愚不可及。
19 言多必失,智者慎言。
20 义人之舌似纯银,
    恶人之心无价值。
21 义人的口滋养众人,
    愚人因无知而死亡。
22 耶和华的祝福使人富足,
    祝福中不加任何忧愁[a]
23 愚人以恶为乐,
    哲士喜爱智慧。
24 恶人所怕的必临到他,
    义人的心愿必得实现。
25 暴风扫过,
    恶人消逝无踪,
    义人永不动摇。
26 雇用懒惰人,
    如醋倒牙,如烟熏目。
27 敬畏耶和华的享长寿,
    恶人的寿数必被缩短。
28 义人的憧憬带来欢乐,
    恶人的希望终必破灭。
29 耶和华的道保护正直人,
    毁灭作恶之人。
30 义人永不动摇,
    恶人无处容身。
31 义人的口发出智慧,
    诡诈的舌必被割掉。
32 义人说话得体合宜,
    恶人的口胡言乱语。

Wise Sayings of Solomon

10 The proverbs of (A)Solomon:

(B)A wise son makes a glad father,
But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

(C)Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
(D)But righteousness delivers from death.
(E)The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,
But He casts away the desire of the wicked.

(F)He who has a slack hand becomes poor,
But (G)the hand of the diligent makes rich.
He who gathers in (H)summer is a wise son;
He who sleeps in harvest is (I)a son who causes shame.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
(J)The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot.

The wise in heart will receive commands,
(K)But [a]a prating fool will [b]fall.

(L)He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known.

10 He who winks with the eye causes trouble,
But a prating fool will fall.

11 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirs up strife,
But (M)love covers all sins.

13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding,
But (N)a rod is for the back of him who [c]is devoid of understanding.

But (O)the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

15 The (P)rich man’s wealth is his strong city;
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

The wages of the wicked to sin.

17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,
But he who refuses correction [d]goes astray.

18 Whoever (R)hides hatred has lying lips,
And (S)whoever spreads slander is a fool.

19 (T)In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But (U)he who restrains his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
The heart of the wicked is worth little.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
But fools die for lack of [e]wisdom.

22 (V)The blessing of the Lord makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it.

23 (W)To do evil is like sport to a fool,
But a man of understanding has wisdom.
24 (X)The fear of the wicked will come upon him,
And (Y)the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the whirlwind passes by, (Z)the wicked is no more,
But (AA)the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

26 As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So is the lazy man to those who send him.

27 (AB)The fear of the Lord prolongs days,
But (AC)the years of the wicked will be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the (AD)expectation of the wicked will perish.
29 The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,
But (AE)destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

30 (AF)The righteous will never be removed,
But the wicked will not inhabit the [f]earth.

But the perverse tongue will be cut out.
