箴言 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
智慧的益處
2 孩子啊，
你若接受我的教誨，
珍愛我的誡命，
2 側耳聆聽智慧，
傾心渴慕悟性；
3 你若呼求洞見，
竭力追求悟性，
4 尋它如尋銀子，
找它如找寶藏，
5 你就會懂得敬畏耶和華，
認識上帝。
6 因為耶和華賜人智慧，
知識和悟性出自祂的口。
7 祂使正直人充滿智慧，
是行為純全者的盾牌。
8 祂看守正義之路，
護衛虔誠人的道。
9 這樣，你就明白何為仁義、
公平和正直，
懂得一切美善之道。
10 因為智慧必進入你心，
知識必令你的靈歡快。
11 明辨力必護佑你，
悟性必看顧你。
12 智慧必救你遠離惡道，
脫離言語荒謬的人。
13 他們捨棄正道，走上黑路，
14 以行惡為樂，喜愛惡人的邪僻；
15 他們的道路歪邪，行徑扭曲。
16 智慧要救你脫離淫婦，
脫離花言巧語的妓女。
17 她撇棄了年輕時的丈夫，
忘了在上帝面前立的約。
18 她的家通向死亡，
她的路直達陰間。
19 到她那裡的人都有去無回，
找不到生命之道。
20 所以你要行善人的路，
守義人的道。
21 因為在地上，
正直人必安居，
純全無過的人必長存，
22 惡人必遭滅絕，
奸徒必被剷除。
Proverbs 2
English Standard Version
The Value of Wisdom
2 (A)My son, (B)if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice (C)for understanding,
4 if you seek it like (D)silver
and search for it as for (E)hidden treasures,
5 then (F)you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For (G)the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is (H)a shield to those who (I)walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
and (J)watching over the way of his (K)saints.
9 (L)Then you will understand (M)righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 (N)discretion will (O)watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to (P)walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who (Q)rejoice in doing evil
and (R)delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose (S)paths are crooked,
(T)and who are (U)devious in their ways.
16 So (V)you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman,
from (W)the adulteress[b] with (X)her smooth words,
17 who forsakes (Y)the companion of her youth
and forgets (Z)the covenant of her God;
18 (AA)for her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed;[c]
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.
20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright (AB)will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be (AC)cut off from the land,
and the treacherous will be (AD)rooted out of it.

Proverbs 2
King James Version
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.
