箴言 27
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
27 不要为明天夸口，
因为你不知明天会怎样。
2 让别人夸奖你，不要开口自夸；
让外人称赞你，不要自吹自擂。
3 石头沉，沙土重，
不如愚人惹的麻烦重。
4 暴怒固然残酷，
愤恨好比狂澜，
然而嫉妒更是无人能敌。
5 开诚布公的责备胜过隐藏的爱。
6 朋友加的创伤出自真诚，
仇敌连连亲吻却是多余。
7 饱足的人连蜂蜜也嫌弃，
饥饿的人吃苦食也甘甜。
8 离乡背井的人就像离巢的飞鸟。
9 膏油和香料使人畅快，
朋友的劝诫更加甘甜。
10 不可抛弃你的朋友和父亲的至交。
患难时别投靠兄弟，
近邻胜过远亲。
11 孩子啊，你要做智者，
使我的心喜乐，
我好回答讥笑我的人。
12 明哲人遇祸躲避，
愚昧人前去受害。
13 谁为陌生人作保，
就拿谁的衣服；
谁为淫妇作保，
谁就得交抵押。
14 清早高声为邻舍祝福，
无异于咒诅他。
15 喋喋不休的妇人，
就像雨天房屋漏个不停；
16 想制止她犹如制止狂风，
又像用手抓油一样困难。
17 朋友互相切磋，
如铁磨铁越磨越利。
18 看无花果树的吃无花果，
照顾主人的也必得尊荣。
19 水能映照人的面貌，
心能反映人的本相。
20 阴间和死亡填不满，
人的眼目永不满足。
21 鼎炼银，炉炼金，
赞美也考验人。
22 就算把愚人放在臼里与麦子一起捣碎，
他仍然难脱愚昧。
23 你要了解你的羊群，
小心照料你的牲畜。
24 因为钱财有用尽时，
冠冕不能万代长存。
25 干草割去，嫩草长出，
山间的野草都被收起来。
26 小羊的皮毛可做衣服，
卖山羊的钱可买田地，
27 母山羊的奶足够你和家人喝，
也够养活你的仆婢。

Proverbs 27
New King James Version
My Son, Be Wise
27 Do(A) not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
2 (B)Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.
4 Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,
But (C)who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 (D)Open rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are (E)deceitful.
7 A satisfied soul [a]loathes the honeycomb,
But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest
Is a man who wanders from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by [b]hearty counsel.
10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
(F)Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
(G)That I may answer him who reproaches me.
12 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are (H)punished.
13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.
14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
It will be counted a curse to him.
15 A (I)continual dripping on a very rainy day
And a contentious woman are alike;
16 Whoever [c]restrains her restrains the wind,
And grasps oil with his right hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18 (J)Whoever [d]keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;
So he who waits on his master will be honored.
19 As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man.
21 (M)The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.
22 (N)Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
23 Be diligent to know the state of your (O)flocks,
And attend to your herds;
24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
25 (P)When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself,
And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26 The lambs will provide your clothing,
And the goats the price of a field;
27 You shall have enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And the nourishment of your maidservants.
