箴言 25
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
所罗门的另一些箴言
25 以下也是所罗门的箴言,是犹大王希西家的人所誊录的。
2 隐藏事情是 神的荣耀;
查明事情乃君王的荣耀。
3 天之高,地之深,
君王之心测不透。
4 除去银子的渣滓,
银匠就做出器皿来。
5 除去王面前的恶人,
国位就靠公义坚立。
6 不可在君王面前妄自尊大,
也不要站在大人的位上。
7 宁可让人家说“请你上到这里来”,
强如在你觐见的贵人面前令你退下。
8 不要冒失出去与人争讼[a],
免得你的邻舍羞辱你,
最后你就不知怎么做。
9 要与邻舍争辩你的案情,
不可泄漏他人的隐密,
10 恐怕听见的人责骂你,
你就难以摆脱臭名。
11 一句话说得合宜,
就如金苹果在银网子里[b]。
12 智慧人的劝戒在顺从的人耳中,
好像金环和金首饰。
13 忠信的使者对那差他的人,
就如收割时有冰雪的凉气,
使主人的心舒畅。
14 人空夸礼物而不肯赠送,
就好像有风有云却无雨。
15 恒常的忍耐可以劝服君王,
柔和的舌头能折断骨头。
16 你得了蜜,吃够就好,
免得过饱就吐出来。
17 你的脚要少进邻舍的家,
免得他厌烦你,恨恶你。
18 作假见证陷害邻舍的,
就是大锤,是利刀,是快箭。
19 患难时倚靠奸诈的人,
好像牙齿断裂,又如脚脱臼。
20 对伤心的人唱歌,
就如冷天脱他的衣服,
又如在碱上倒醋[c]。
21 你的仇敌若饿了,就给他饭吃,
若渴了,就给他水喝;
22 因为你这样做,就是把炭火堆在他的头上,
耶和华必回报你。
23 正如北风生雨,
毁谤的舌头也生怒容。
24 宁可住在房顶的一角,
也不与好争吵的妇人同住。
25 有好消息从遥远的地方来,
就如凉水滋润口渴的人。
26 义人在恶人面前退缩,
好像搅浑之泉,污染之井。
27 吃蜜过多是不好的,
自求荣耀也是一样。
28 人不克制自己的心,
就像毁坏的城没有墙。
Proverbs 25
New International Version
More Proverbs of Solomon
25 These are more proverbs(A) of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:(B)
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.(C)
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Remove the dross from the silver,
and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,(D)
and his throne will be established(E) through righteousness.(F)
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(G)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
What you have seen with your eyes
8 do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?(H)
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
11 Like apples[b] of gold in settings of silver(I)
is a ruling rightly given.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(J)
13 Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;
he refreshes the spirit of his master.(K)
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.(N)
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—
too much of you, and they will hate you.
18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow
is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.(O)
19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on a wound,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals(P) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.(Q)
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(R)
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(S)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey,(T)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.(U)
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.

Proverbs 25
King James Version
25 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
