所罗门的箴言
所罗门的箴言：
智慧之子使父亲喜乐； 愚昧之子使母亲担忧。The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
2不义之财毫无益处； 惟有公义能救人脱离死亡。Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
3耶和华不使义人捱饿； 恶人所欲的，耶和华必拒绝。The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
4手懒的，必致穷乏； 手勤的，却要富足。He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5夏天储存的，是智慧之子； 收割时沉睡的，是蒙羞之子。He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
6福祉临到义人头上； 恶人的口藏匿残暴。Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7义人的称号带来祝福； 恶人的名字必然败坏。The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
8智慧的心，领受诫命； 愚妄的嘴唇，必致倾倒。The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
9行正直路的，步步安稳； 走弯曲道的，必致败露。He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
10挤眉弄眼的，使人忧患； 愚妄的嘴唇，必致倾倒。He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
11义人的口是生命的泉源； 恶人的口藏匿残暴。The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
12恨能挑启争端； 爱能遮掩一切过错。Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
13聪明人嘴里有智慧； 无知的人背上受刑杖。In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14智慧人积存知识； 愚妄人的口速致败坏。Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
15有钱人的财物是他坚固的城； 贫寒人的贫乏使他败坏。The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16义人的报酬带来生命； 恶人的所得用来犯罪。The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17遵守训诲的，行在生命道上； 离弃责备的，走迷了路。He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
18隐藏怨恨的，有说谎的嘴唇； 口出毁谤的，是愚昧人。He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19多言多语难免有过； 节制嘴唇是有智慧。In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20义人的舌如上选的银子； 恶人的心所值无几。The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21义人的嘴唇牧养多人； 愚妄人因无知而死亡。The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
22耶和华所赐的福使人富足， 并不加上忧虑。The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
23愚昧人以行恶为乐； 聪明人以智慧为乐。It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
24恶人所怕的，必临到他； 义人的心愿，必蒙应允。The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25暴风一过，恶人归于无有； 义人却有永久的根基。As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26懒惰人使那差他的人， 如醋倒牙，如烟薰目。As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27敬畏耶和华使人长寿； 恶人的年岁必减少。The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28义人的盼望带来喜乐； 恶人的指望必致灭没。The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29耶和华的道是正直人的保障； 却成了作恶人的败坏。The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
30义人永不动摇； 恶人不得住在地上。The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
31义人的口结出智慧； 乖谬的舌必被割断。The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
32义人的嘴唇懂得令人喜悦； 恶人的口只知乖谬。The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
