箴言 15
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
15 回答柔和,使怒消退;
言語粗暴,觸動怒氣。
2 智慧人的舌善發知識;
愚昧人的口吐出愚昧。
3 耶和華的眼目無處不在,
惡人善人,他都鑒察。
4 溫良的舌是生命樹;
邪惡的舌使人心碎。
5 愚妄人藐視父親的管教;
領受責備,使人精明。
6 義人家中多有財富;
惡人獲利反受擾害。
7 智慧人的嘴傳揚知識;
愚昧人的心並非如此。
8 惡人獻祭,為耶和華所憎惡;
正直人祈禱,為他所喜悅。
9 惡人的道路,為耶和華所憎惡;
追求公義的,為他所喜愛。
10 背棄正路的,必受嚴刑;
恨惡責備的,必致死亡。
11 陰間和冥府[a]尚且在耶和華面前,
何況世人的心呢?
12 傲慢人不愛受責備,
也不去接近智慧人。
13 心中喜樂,面有喜色;
心裏憂愁,靈就憂傷。
14 聰明人的心追求知識;
愚昧人的口吞吃愚昧。
15 困苦人的日子都是愁苦;
心中歡暢的,常享宴席。
16 財寶稀少,敬畏耶和華,
強如財寶眾多,煩亂不安。
17 有愛,吃素菜,
強如相恨,吃肥牛。
18 暴怒的人挑啟爭端;
忍怒的人止息紛爭。
19 懶惰人的道像荊棘的籬笆;
正直人的路是平坦大道。
20 智慧之子使父親喜樂;
愚昧的人藐視母親。
21 無知的人以愚昧為樂;
聰明的人按正直而行。
22 不先商議,所謀無效;
謀士眾多,所謀得成。
23 口善應對,自覺喜樂;
話合其時,何等美好。
24 生命之道使智慧人上升,
使他遠離底下的陰間。
25 耶和華必拆毀驕傲人的家,
卻要立定寡婦的地界。
26 惡謀為耶和華所憎惡;
良言卻是純淨的。
27 暴力歛財的,擾害己家;
恨惡賄賂的,必得存活。
28 義人的心思量應答;
惡人的口吐出惡言。
29 耶和華遠離惡人,
卻聽義人的祈禱。
30 眼睛發光,使心喜樂;
好的信息,滋潤骨頭。
31 耳聽使人得生命的責備,
必居住在智慧人之中。
32 棄絕管教的,輕看自己的生命;
領受責備的,卻得智慧的心。
33 敬畏耶和華是智慧的訓誨;
要得尊榮,先有謙卑。

Proverbs 15
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.
25 The Lord tears down the house of the proud,(AN)
but he sets the widow’s boundary stones in place.(AO)

but he hears the prayer of the righteous.(AV)

and good news gives health to the bones.(AW)
31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction
will be at home among the wise.(AX)
