箴言 20
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
20 酒使人放肆，烈酒叫人吵闹。
因酒误事，实为不智。
2 君王震怒如狮子咆哮，
触怒他的人自寻死路。
3 避免纷争是光荣，
愚人个个爱争吵。
4 懒惰人不按时耕种，
收获时必一无所得。
5 人心的谋略如深水，
唯有哲士才能汲取。
6 人都声称自己忠诚，
但谁能找到忠信者？
7 义人行为正直，
他的后代也蒙福。
8 王坐在宝座上审判，
他的眼目明察罪恶。
9 谁敢说：“我心灵洁净，纯洁无罪？”
10 缺斤少两、尺寸不足，
都为耶和华所憎恶。
11 孩童的举动是否纯良，
都显明他的本性。
12 能听的耳，能看的眼，
两者都为耶和华所造。
13 不要贪睡，免得贫穷；
勤劳工作，粮食丰足。
14 买主总说货物不好，
买走后又连连自夸。
15 智慧之言胜过黄金和许多珠宝。
16 谁为陌生人作保，就拿去谁的外衣；
谁为外族人作保，就要承担责任。
17 骗来的饼觉得香甜，
最后却是满口泥沙。
18 集思出良策，
征战靠智谋。
19 嚼舌的人泄露秘密，
不可结交多嘴的人。
20 咒骂父母的人，
他的生命[a]必消逝在黑暗中。
21 早年轻易得来之财，
最终不会成为祝福。
22 不要说：“我要以恶报恶”，
要等候耶和华替你申冤。
23 耶和华憎恶缺斤少两，
祂厌恶骗人的天平。
24 人的脚步由耶和华所定，
人怎能知道自己的道路？
25 人向主许愿要三思，
免得事后作茧自缚。
26 明君必筛出恶人，
用石磙碾轧他们。
27 心灵是耶和华的灯，
鉴察人的肺腑心肠。
28 君王靠慈爱和忠信护佑，
他的王位因慈爱而稳固。
29 力量是青年的荣耀，
白发是老人的尊荣。
30 鞭伤能驱除罪恶，
责打能洁净人心。

Proverbs 20
New International Version
Proverbs 20
New International Version
2 A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion;(E)
those who anger him forfeit their lives.(F)
5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,(K)
but one who has insight draws them out.
6 Many claim to have unfailing love,
but a faithful person who can find?(L)
10 Differing weights and differing measures—
the Lord detests them both.(S)
11 Even small children are known by their actions,
so is their conduct really pure(T) and upright?
12 Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the Lord has made them both.(U)
13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;(V)
stay awake and you will have food to spare.
14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—
then goes off and boasts about the purchase.
15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
16 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge(W) if it is done for an outsider.(X)
18 Plans are established by seeking advice;
so if you wage war, obtain guidance.(AA)
19 A gossip betrays a confidence;(AB)
so avoid anyone who talks too much.
20 If someone curses their father or mother,(AC)
their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.(AD)
21 An inheritance claimed too soon
will not be blessed at the end.
22 Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!”(AE)
Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.(AF)
23 The Lord detests differing weights,
and dishonest scales do not please him.(AG)
24 A person’s steps are directed(AH) by the Lord.(AI)
How then can anyone understand their own way?(AJ)
25 It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.(AK)
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked;
he drives the threshing wheel over them.(AL)
29 The glory of young men is their strength,
gray hair the splendor of the old.(AQ)

More Dealing With Fools
20 Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler.
Whoever is intoxicated by them is not wise.
2 The king’s rage is like a lion’s growl.
Whoever intrudes on him endangers his life.
3 Avoiding strife brings honor to a man,
but every stubborn fool is always fighting.
4 A lazy person fails to plow when it is the season for planting.[a]
He expects something in the harvest, but nothing will be there.
5 The intentions in a person’s heart are deep water,
but a person with understanding can draw them out.
6 Many people claim to be loyal,[b]
but who can find a trustworthy man?
7 A righteous person walks in his integrity.
How blessed are his children after him!
8 When a king sits on his throne as judge,
he winnows out all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, “I have purified my heart.
I am cleansed from my sinfulness”?
10 Differing weights and differing measures—
both of them are disgusting to the Lord.
11 Even a youth makes himself known by his acts,
by whether his conduct is pure and upright.
12 An ear that hears and an eye that sees—
the Lord has made both of them.
13 Do not love sleep, or you will become poor.
Keep your eyes open, and you will have enough to eat.
14 “It’s no good! It’s no good!” says the buyer,
but then he goes away and brags.
15 There is gold, and there are many gems,[c]
but lips that have knowledge are a precious vessel.
16 Take the garment from someone who guarantees a loan for a stranger.
Hold on to it when he offers it as collateral for a foreigner.
17 Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
18 Plans are strengthened by obtaining advice,
so do not wage war without consultation.
19 A person who goes around spreading gossip reveals secrets,
so do not associate with anyone whose lips are always open.
20 The person who curses his father and his mother—
his lamp will be snuffed out in total darkness.
21 An inheritance easily obtained[d] in the beginning
will not be blessed in the end.
22 Do not say, “I’ll get even with you!”
Wait for the Lord, and he will rescue you.
23 Differing weights are disgusting[e] to the Lord,
and dishonest scales are not good.
24 The steps a man takes come from the Lord,
so how can anyone understand his own way?
25 A person falls into a trap if he pledges something to God impulsively
and considers his pledge only later.
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked.
He rolls the threshing wheel over them.
27 A man’s spirit is the lamp of the Lord.
It illuminates the depths of his heart.
28 Mercy and truth protect a king,
and he maintains his throne with mercy.
29 The splendor of young men is their strength,
but the majesty of old men is their gray hair.
30 Wounds and bruises scrub away evil,
and a beating scrubs the depths of the heart.
