箴言 12
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
智慧人的话能医治人
12 喜爱教训的，就是喜爱知识；
厌恶责备的，却是愚顽人。
2 良善的人必得到耶和华的恩宠；
图谋奸计的人，耶和华必把他定罪。
3 人不能恃凭恶行坚立；
但义人的根必不动摇。
4 有才德的妻子是丈夫的冠冕，
贻羞的妇人，如同丈夫骨中的朽烂。
5 义人的筹算是公平，
恶人的计谋却是诡诈。
6 恶人的言语埋伏着，等待要流人的血，
正直人的口能拯救人。
7 恶人倾覆，就不再存在；
义人的家却必站立得住。
8 人因着自己的明慧必得称赞，
但心中乖谬的必被藐视。
9 被人轻看却有仆人的人，
胜过自尊自大却缺少食物的人。
10 义人连自己牲畜的性命也顾惜；
但恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
11 耕种自己田地的，也有充足的粮食；
追求虚幻的，实在无知。
12 恶人贪慕坏人的网罗；
义人的根得以结果。
13 坏人嘴里的过失，是自己的网罗；
但义人必脱离患难。
14 人因口所结的果子必饱尝美物；
人手所作的必归到他身上。
15 愚妄人所行的，在自己眼中看为正直，
只有智慧人肯听劝告。
16 愚妄人的恼怒立时显露，
精明的人却能忍受羞辱。
17 吐露真情的，彰显正义，
作假见证的却是诡诈。
18 有人说话不慎，好象利刀刺人，
智慧人的舌头却能医治人。
19 说实话的嘴唇，永远坚立；
撒谎的舌头，眨眼间消失。
20 图谋恶事的，心存诡诈；
使人和睦的，心中喜乐。
21 义人不会遭遇灾祸，
恶人却饱经祸患。
22 撒谎的嘴唇是耶和华憎恶的；
行事诚实是他所喜悦的。
23 精明的人隐藏自己的知识，
愚昧人的心却显出愚妄。
24 殷勤人的手必掌权，
懒惰人的手必作苦工。
25 心中忧虑，使人消沉；
一句良言使他欢喜。
26 义人作自己邻舍的引导；
恶人的道路，却使别人走迷。
27 懒惰的人不去烧烤他的猎物，
殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物（“殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物”或译：“人宝贵的财物是殷勤”）。
28 在公义的路上有生命，
这路径之上没有死亡（“这路径之上没有死亡”有古译本作“邪恶的路，引到死亡”）。
Proverbs 12
King James Version
12 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
Proverbs 12
New American Standard Bible
Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
12 One who loves [a]discipline loves knowledge,
But one who hates rebuke is stupid.
2 A (A)good person will obtain favor from the Lord,
But He will condemn a person [b]who devises evil.
3 A person will (B)not be established by wickedness,
But the root of the (C)righteous will not be moved.
4 An [c](D)excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who shames him is like (E)rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6 The (F)words of the wicked wait in ambush for blood,
But the (G)mouth of the upright will rescue them.
7 The (H)wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the (I)house of the righteous will stand.
8 A person will be praised according to his insight,
But one of perverse [d]mind will be despised.
9 Better is one who is lightly esteemed and has a servant,
Than one who honors himself and lacks bread.
10 A (J)righteous person has regard for the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
11 One (K)who works his land will have plenty of bread,
But one who pursues worthless things lacks [e]sense.
12 The (L)wicked person desires the [f]plunder of evil people,
But the root of the righteous (M)yields fruit.
13 [g]An evil person is ensnared by the offense of his lips,
But the (N)righteous will escape from trouble.
14 A person will be (O)satisfied with good by the fruit of his [h]words,
And the (P)deeds of a person’s hands will return to him.
15 The (Q)way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a person who listens to advice is wise.
16 A (R)fool’s anger is known at once,
But a prudent person conceals dishonor.
17 One who declares truth tells what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.
18 There is one who (S)speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the (T)tongue of the wise brings healing.
19 Truthful lips will endure forever,
But a (U)lying tongue is only for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy.
21 (V)No harm happens to the righteous,
But the wicked are filled with trouble.
22 (W)Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.
23 A (X)prudent person conceals knowledge,
But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the [i]lazy hand will be (Y)put to forced labor.
25 (Z)Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down,
But a (AA)good word makes it glad.
26 The righteous person is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 [j]A lazy person does not [k]roast his prey,
But the (AB)precious possession of a person is diligence.
28 (AC)In the way of righteousness there is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.
