箴言 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
善惡互論垂為箴言
12 喜愛管教的就是喜愛知識,恨惡責備的卻是畜類。 2 善人必蒙耶和華的恩惠,設詭計的人,耶和華必定他的罪。 3 人靠惡行不能堅立,義人的根必不動搖。 4 才德的婦人是丈夫的冠冕,貽羞的婦人如同朽爛,在他丈夫的骨中。 5 義人的思念是公平,惡人的計謀是詭詐。 6 惡人的言論是埋伏流人的血,正直人的口必拯救人。 7 惡人傾覆歸於無有,義人的家必站得住。 8 人必按自己的智慧被稱讚,心中乖謬的必被藐視。 9 被人輕賤卻有僕人,強如自尊缺少食物。 10 義人顧惜他牲畜的命,惡人的憐憫也是殘忍。 11 耕種自己田地的必得飽食,追隨虛浮的卻是無知。 12 惡人想得壞人的網羅,義人的根得以結實。 13 惡人嘴中的過錯是自己的網羅,但義人必脫離患難。 14 人因口所結的果子必飽得美福,人手所做的必為自己的報應。 15 愚妄人所行的在自己眼中看為正直,唯智慧人肯聽人的勸教。 16 愚妄人的惱怒立時顯露,通達人能忍辱藏羞。 17 說出真話的顯明公義,作假見證的顯出詭詐。 18 說話浮躁的如刀刺人,智慧人的舌頭卻為醫人的良藥。 19 口吐真言,永遠堅立;舌說謊話,只存片時。 20 圖謀惡事的心存詭詐,勸人和睦的便得喜樂。 21 義人不遭災害,惡人滿受禍患。 22 說謊言的嘴為耶和華所憎惡,行事誠實的為他所喜悅。 23 通達人隱藏知識,愚昧人的心彰顯愚昧。 24 殷勤人的手必掌權,懶惰的人必服苦。 25 人心憂慮屈而不伸,一句良言使心歡樂。 26 義人引導他的鄰舍,惡人的道叫人失迷。 27 懶惰的人不烤打獵所得的,殷勤的人卻得寶貴的財物。 28 在公義的道上有生命,其路之中並無死亡。
Proverbs 12
Legacy Standard Bible
12 Whoever loves [a]discipline loves knowledge,
But he who hates reproof is senseless.
2 A (A)good man will obtain favor from Yahweh,
But a man of evil schemes He will condemn.
3 A man will (B)not be established by wickedness,
But the root of the (C)righteous will not be shaken.
4 [b]An (D)excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who causes shame is like (E)rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,
But the guidance of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The (F)words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
But the (G)mouth of the upright will deliver them.
7 The (H)wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the (I)house of the righteous will stand.
8 A man will be praised according to his insight,
But one of perverse heart will be despised.
9 Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant
Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
10 A (J)righteous man knows the value of the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
11 He (K)who cultivates his land will be satisfied with bread,
But he who pursues empty things lacks a heart of wisdom.
12 The (L)wicked man desires a stronghold of evil men,
But the root of the righteous (M)gives fruit.
13 The snare of an evil man is in the transgression of his lips,
But the (N)righteous man will come out from distress.
14 A man will be (O)satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
And the good (P)deed of a man’s hands will return to him.
15 The (Q)way of an ignorant fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.
16 An (R)ignorant fool’s [c]anger is known at once,
But a prudent man conceals disgrace.
17 He who breathes out truth declares 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 be established 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 gladness.
21 (V)No misfortune befalls the righteous,
But the wicked are filled with calamity.
22 (W)Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
But doers of faithfulness are His delight.
23 A (X)prudent man conceals knowledge,
But the heart of fools proclaims folly.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
But [d]the slack hand will be (Y)put to forced labor.
25 (Z)Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
But a (AA)good word makes it glad.
26 The righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked makes them wander about.
27 A slack handed man does not [e]roast his prey,
But the wealth of a man is (AB)precious for the diligent.
28 (AC)In the path of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.
