箴言 1-2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
箴言之妙用
1 以色列王大衛兒子所羅門的箴言。 2 要使人曉得智慧和訓誨，分辨通達的言語， 3 使人處事領受智慧、仁義、公平、正直的訓誨， 4 使愚人靈明，使少年人有知識和謀略， 5 使智慧人聽見增長學問，使聰明人得著智謀， 6 使人明白箴言和譬喻，懂得智慧人的言辭和謎語。
勿從惡人之誘
7 敬畏耶和華是知識的開端，愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。 8 我兒，要聽你父親的訓誨，不可離棄你母親的法則[a]， 9 因為這要做你頭上的華冠，你項上的金鏈。 10 我兒，惡人若引誘你，你不可隨從。 11 他們若說：「你與我們同去，我們要埋伏流人之血，要蹲伏害無罪之人。 12 我們好像陰間，把他們活活吞下；他們如同下坑的人，被我們囫圇吞了。 13 我們必得各樣寶物，將所擄來的裝滿房屋。 14 你與我們大家同分，我們共用一個囊袋」， 15 我兒，不要與他們同行一道，禁止你腳走他們的路。 16 因為他們的腳奔跑行惡，他們急速流人的血。 17 好像飛鳥，網羅設在眼前仍不躲避， 18 這些人埋伏是為自流己血，蹲伏是為自害己命。 19 凡貪戀財利的，所行之路都是如此，這貪戀之心乃奪去得財者之命。
愚者厭惡知識
20 智慧在街市上呼喊，在寬闊處發聲， 21 在熱鬧街頭喊叫，在城門口、在城中發出言語， 22 說：「你們愚昧人喜愛愚昧，褻慢人喜歡褻慢，愚頑人恨惡知識，要到幾時呢？ 23 你們當因我的責備回轉，我要將我的靈澆灌你們，將我的話指示你們。 24 我呼喚，你們不肯聽從，我伸手，無人理會， 25 反輕棄我一切的勸誡，不肯受我的責備。 26 你們遭災難，我就發笑；驚恐臨到你們，我必嗤笑。 27 驚恐臨到你們好像狂風，災難來到如同暴風，急難痛苦臨到你們身上。 28 那時，你們必呼求我，我卻不答應；懇切地尋找我，卻尋不見。 29 因為你們恨惡知識，不喜愛敬畏耶和華， 30 不聽我的勸誡，藐視我一切的責備， 31 所以必吃自結的果子，充滿自設的計謀。
聽從智言必享平康
32 「愚昧人背道，必殺己身；愚頑人安逸，必害己命。 33 唯有聽從我的，必安然居住，得享安靜，不怕災禍。」
智慧明哲均耶和華所賜
2 我兒，你若領受我的言語，存記我的命令， 2 側耳聽智慧，專心求聰明， 3 呼求明哲，揚聲求聰明， 4 尋找她如尋找銀子，搜求她如搜求隱藏的珍寶， 5 你就明白敬畏耶和華，得以認識神。 6 因為耶和華賜人智慧，知識和聰明都由他口而出。 7 他給正直人存留真智慧，給行為純正的人做盾牌， 8 為要保守公平人的路，護庇虔敬人的道。 9 你也必明白仁義、公平、正直，一切的善道。 10 智慧必入你心，你的靈要以知識為美。 11 謀略必護衛你，聰明必保守你， 12 要救你脫離惡道[b]，脫離說乖謬話的人。 13 那等人捨棄正直的路，行走黑暗的道， 14 歡喜作惡，喜愛惡人的乖僻。 15 在他們的道中彎曲，在他們的路上偏僻。 16 智慧要救你脫離淫婦，就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。 17 他離棄幼年的配偶，忘了神的盟約。 18 他的家陷入死地，他的路偏向陰間。 19 凡到他那裡去的不得轉回，也得不著生命的路。 20 智慧必使你行善人的道，守義人的路。 21 正直人必在世上居住，完全人必在地上存留。 22 唯有惡人必然剪除，奸詐的必然拔出。
Proverbs 1-2
King James Version
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
2 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
