箴言 25
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
所罗门的另一些箴言
25 以下也是所罗门的箴言，是犹大王希西家的人所誊录的。
2 隐藏事情是 神的荣耀；
查明事情乃君王的荣耀。
3 天之高，地之深，
君王之心测不透。
4 除去银子的渣滓，
银匠就做出器皿来。
5 除去王面前的恶人，
国位就靠公义坚立。
6 不可在君王面前妄自尊大，
也不要站在大人的位上。
7 宁可让人家说“请你上到这里来”，
强如在你觐见的贵人面前令你退下。
8 不要冒失出去与人争讼[a]，
免得你的邻舍羞辱你，
最后你就不知怎么做。
9 要与邻舍争辩你的案情，
不可泄漏他人的隐密，
10 恐怕听见的人责骂你，
你就难以摆脱臭名。
11 一句话说得合宜，
就如金苹果在银网子里[b]。
12 智慧人的劝戒在顺从的人耳中，
好像金环和金首饰。
13 忠信的使者对那差他的人，
就如收割时有冰雪的凉气，
使主人的心舒畅。
14 人空夸礼物而不肯赠送，
就好像有风有云却无雨。
15 恒常的忍耐可以劝服君王，
柔和的舌头能折断骨头。
16 你得了蜜，吃够就好，
免得过饱就吐出来。
17 你的脚要少进邻舍的家，
免得他厌烦你，恨恶你。
18 作假见证陷害邻舍的，
就是大锤，是利刀，是快箭。
19 患难时倚靠奸诈的人，
好像牙齿断裂，又如脚脱臼。
20 对伤心的人唱歌，
就如冷天脱他的衣服，
又如在碱上倒醋[c]。
21 你的仇敌若饿了，就给他饭吃，
若渴了，就给他水喝；
22 因为你这样做，就是把炭火堆在他的头上，
耶和华必回报你。
23 正如北风生雨，
毁谤的舌头也生怒容。
24 宁可住在房顶的一角，
也不与好争吵的妇人同住。
25 有好消息从遥远的地方来，
就如凉水滋润口渴的人。
26 义人在恶人面前退缩，
好像搅浑之泉，污染之井。
27 吃蜜过多是不好的，
自求荣耀也是一样。
28 人不克制自己的心，
就像毁坏的城没有墙。
箴言 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
所罗门的箴言（续）
25 以下也是所罗门的箴言，由犹大王希西迦的人抄录。
2 将事隐藏是上帝的荣耀，
把事查明是君王的光荣。
3 天之高，地之厚，
君王的心测不透。
4 除掉银子里的渣滓，
银匠就能铸造器皿。
5 清除君王身边的恶人，
王位必因公义而巩固。
6 不可在王面前妄自尊大，
不要占据大人物的位子。
7 与其在权贵面前受羞辱，
不如等人邀请你坐上座。
8 不可鲁莽地打官司，
以免败诉、羞愧难当。
9 遇到跟邻舍争讼，
不可泄露其秘密，
10 免得听见的人辱骂你，
你的恶名将永难洗刷。
11 一句话说得合宜，
就像金苹果放在银器里。
12 对受教者而言，
智者的责备犹如金耳环和金饰物。
13 忠信的使者叫主人心里舒畅，
就像夏收之时有冰雪的凉气。
14 夸口送礼物却食言的人，
就像没有雨水的风和云。
15 坚忍说服君王，
柔舌折断骨头。
16 找到蜂蜜要酌量而食，
免得吃多了呕吐。
17 不要频频去邻舍家，
免得惹人烦、遭人厌。
18 作伪证陷害邻舍的人，
无异于大锤、刀和利箭。
19 危难时投靠奸诈之人，
形同倚靠坏牙和跛脚。
20 对忧伤的人唱歌，
如同天寒脱衣、伤口撒盐。
21 你的仇敌若饿了，
就给他吃的；
若渴了，就给他水喝；
22 因为你这是把炭火堆在他头上，
耶和华必奖赏你。
23 北风带来雨水，
谗言激起愤怒。
24 宁愿住在屋顶的一角，
不跟争闹的妻子同屋。
25 有好消息从远方传来，
如凉水滋润干渴的人。
26 义人向恶人低头，
就像清泉被搅浑，
水井受污染。
27 蜂蜜吃得太多有害无益，
追求自己的荣耀也不光彩。
28 无法自制的人就像被攻破的无墙之城。
Proverbs 25
New King James Version
Further Wise Sayings of Solomon
25 These(A) also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:
2 (B)It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
3 As the heavens for height and the earth for depth,
So the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 (C)Take away the dross from silver,
And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king,
And his throne will be established in (D)righteousness.
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;
7 (E)For it is better that he say to you,
“Come up here,”
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.
8 (F)Do not go hastily to [a]court;
For what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor has put you to shame?
9 (G)Debate your case with your neighbor,
And do not disclose the secret to another;
10 Lest he who hears it expose your shame,
And [b]your reputation be ruined.
11 A word fitly (H)spoken is like apples of gold
In settings of silver.
12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.
13 (I)Like the cold of snow in time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
15 (L)By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.
16 Have you found honey?
Eat only as much as you need,
Lest you be filled with it and vomit.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house,
Lest he become weary of you and hate you.
18 (M)A man who bears false witness against his neighbor
Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
20 Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
And like vinegar on soda,
Is one who (N)sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 (O)If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,
(P)And the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings forth rain,
And (Q)a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24 (R)It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25 As cold water to a weary soul,
So is (S)good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man who falters before the wicked
Is like a murky spring and a [c]polluted well.
27 It is not good to eat much honey;
So (T)to seek one’s own glory is not glory.
28 (U)Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.

Proverbs 25
King James Version
25 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
