箴言 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
敬畏 神使人日子增多
10 所羅門的箴言：
智慧的兒子使父親歡樂，
愚昧的兒子使母親憂愁。
2 不義之財毫無益處，
唯有公義能救人脫離死亡。
3 耶和華不容許義人忍受飢餓，
惡人的慾念卻無法得著。
4 游手好閒的，招致貧窮，
勤力工作的，得到富足。
5 夏天收聚的，是明慧的人，
收割時沉睡的，是貽羞的人。
6 福祉臨到義人頭上，
強暴遮蓋惡人的口。
7 義人的名必蒙稱讚，
惡人的名字卻必腐朽。
8 心存智慧的，必接受誡命；
嘴唇愚妄的，必自招滅亡。
9 行為完全的，步步安穩；
行事彎曲的，終必敗露。
10 以眼傳神的，使人受害；
嘴唇愚妄的，必自招滅亡。
11 義人的口是生命的泉源，
強暴遮蓋惡人的口。
12 恨能挑起紛爭，
愛能遮掩一切過失。
13 聰明人嘴裡有智慧，
無知人背上受刑杖。
14 智慧人積存知識，
愚妄人的口招致毀滅。
15 富翁的財物是他的堅城，
窮人的貧乏是他滅亡的因由。
16 義人的工價就是生命，
惡人所得的卻是刑罰。
17 遵守教訓的，走在生命的路上；
離棄責備的，卻是走上錯路。
18 隱藏怨恨的，嘴裡必出謊言；
散播謠言的，是愚昧人。
19 多言多語難免有過失；
約束自己嘴唇的，是明慧人。
20 義人的舌頭好像純銀，
惡人的心思毫無價值。
21 義人的嘴唇培育多人，
愚妄人因無知死亡。
22 耶和華所賜的福使人富足，
並不加上愁煩。
23 愚昧人以行惡為嬉戲，
聰明人卻以智慧為樂。
24 惡人所怕的，必臨到他身上；
義人所願的，必蒙應允。
25 暴風一過，惡人就歸於無有，
義人卻有永遠的根基。
26 醋怎樣使牙酸倒，煙怎樣薰目，
懶惰人也怎樣使差他的人難受。
27 敬畏耶和華可以延年益壽，
惡人的年歲必被減少。
28 義人的盼望使他們喜樂，
惡人的希望終必幻滅。
29 耶和華的道是完全人的保障，
卻是作孽的人滅亡的因由。
30 義人永不動搖，
惡人卻不得安居在地上。
31 義人的口結出智慧的果子，
乖謬的舌頭必被割除。
32 義人的嘴使人喜悅，
惡人的口說乖謬的話。
