箴言 10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
敬畏 神使人日子增多
10 所罗门的箴言：
智慧的儿子使父亲欢乐，
愚昧的儿子使母亲忧愁。
2 不义之财毫无益处，
唯有公义能救人脱离死亡。
3 耶和华不容许义人忍受饥饿，
恶人的欲念却无法得着。
4 游手好闲的，招致贫穷，
勤力工作的，得到富足。
5 夏天收聚的，是明慧的人，
收割时沉睡的，是贻羞的人。
6 福祉临到义人头上，
强暴遮盖恶人的口。
7 义人的名必蒙称赞，
恶人的名字却必腐朽。
8 心存智慧的，必接受诫命；
嘴唇愚妄的，必自招灭亡。
9 行为完全的，步步安稳；
行事弯曲的，终必败露。
10 以眼传神的，使人受害；
嘴唇愚妄的，必自招灭亡。
11 义人的口是生命的泉源，
强暴遮盖恶人的口。
12 恨能挑起纷争，
爱能遮掩一切过失。
13 聪明人嘴里有智慧，
无知人背上受刑杖。
14 智慧人积存知识，
愚妄人的口招致毁灭。
15 富翁的财物是他的坚城，
穷人的贫乏是他灭亡的因由。
16 义人的工价就是生命，
恶人所得的却是刑罚。
17 遵守教训的，走在生命的路上；
离弃责备的，却是走上错路。
18 隐藏怨恨的，嘴里必出谎言；
散播谣言的，是愚昧人。
19 多言多语难免有过失；
约束自己嘴唇的，是明慧人。
20 义人的舌头好象纯银，
恶人的心思毫无价值。
21 义人的嘴唇培育多人，
愚妄人因无知死亡。
22 耶和华所赐的福使人富足，
并不加上愁烦。
23 愚昧人以行恶为嬉戏，
聪明人却以智慧为乐。
24 恶人所怕的，必临到他身上；
义人所愿的，必蒙应允。
25 暴风一过，恶人就归于无有，
义人却有永远的根基。
26 醋怎样使牙酸倒，烟怎样熏目，
懒惰人也怎样使差他的人难受。
27 敬畏耶和华可以延年益寿，
恶人的年岁必被减少。
28 义人的盼望使他们喜乐，
恶人的希望终必幻灭。
29 耶和华的道是完全人的保障，
却是作孽的人灭亡的因由。
30 义人永不动摇，
恶人却不得安居在地上。
31 义人的口结出智慧的果子，
乖谬的舌头必被割除。
32 义人的嘴使人喜悦，
恶人的口说乖谬的话。

The Collected Proverbs of Solomon
10 The proverbs of Solomon.
Introduction to Wisdom and Righteousness
A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
2 Treasures gained by wickedness produce no profit,
but righteousness saves from death.
3 The Lord will not allow the righteous to starve,
but he frustrates the greed of the wicked.
4 Lazy hands produce poverty,
but hardworking hands bring riches.
5 Whoever gathers crops in summer is a sensible[a] son.
Whoever sleeps at harvest time is a disgraceful[b] son.
Wise Words and Wise Ways
6 Blessings crown the head of a righteous person,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.[c]
7 To remember a righteous person is a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 A wise heart accepts commands,
but a babbling fool will be ruined.
9 Whoever walks with integrity walks safely,
but whoever follows crooked ways will be found out.
10 Whoever winks at evil causes trouble,
and a babbling fool will be ruined.
11 The mouth of a righteous person is a fountain of life,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.[d]
12 Hatred stirs up a quarrel,
but love covers all sins.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of a discerning person,
but a rod is appropriate for the back of one who lacks sense.
14 Wise people store up knowledge,
but the mouth of a stubborn fool brings ruin.
15 A rich person’s wealth is his strong city.
Poverty is the ruin of poor people.
16 The work of a righteous person leads to life.
The income of a wicked person leads to sin.
17 Whoever practices discipline is on the path to life,
but whoever rejects a warning goes astray.
18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads gossip is a fool.
19 When there are many words, sin never stops,[e]
but a person who restrains his lips acts wisely.
20 The tongue of a righteous person is fine silver.
The heart of a wicked person has little value.
21 The lips of a righteous person shepherd many,
but stubborn fools die for lack of sense.
22 The blessing of the Lord makes a person wealthy,
and he adds no sorrow to it.[f]
23 Carrying out a wicked scheme is a game for the fool,
but wisdom gives pleasure to a person with understanding.
Contrasts Between the Righteous and the Wicked
24 What the wicked person dreads will come upon him,
but the Lord will grant what the righteous desire.
25 When the storm has passed, the wicked person is no more,
but the righteous person has an everlasting foundation.
26 Like vinegar to the teeth and like smoke to the eyes,
so is a lazy person to those who send him.
27 The fear of the Lord will add days to a person’s life,
but the years of wicked people will be cut short.
28 The confident hope of the righteous is joy,
but the ambitions of the wicked will perish.
29 The way of the Lord is a fortress for a person who has integrity,
but it brings destruction for evildoers.
30 A righteous person will never be toppled,[g]
but wicked people will not dwell on earth.
31 The mouth of a righteous person produces the fruit of wisdom,
but a perverse tongue will be cut off.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,[h]
but the mouth of the wicked produces depraved words.

The Message
The Wise Sayings of Solomon
An Honest Life Is Immortal
10 Wise son, glad father;
stupid son, sad mother.
2 Ill-gotten gain gets you nowhere;
an honest life is immortal.
3 God won’t starve an honest soul,
but he frustrates the appetites of the wicked.
4 Sloth makes you poor;
diligence brings wealth.
5 Make hay while the sun shines—that’s smart;
go fishing during harvest—that’s stupid.
6 Blessings accrue on a good and honest life,
but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
7 A good and honest life is a blessed memorial;
a wicked life leaves a rotten stench.
8 A wise heart takes orders;
an empty head will come unglued.
9 Honesty lives confident and carefree,
but Shifty is sure to be exposed.
10 An evasive eye is a sign of trouble ahead,
but an open, face-to-face meeting results in peace.
11 The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well,
but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
12 Hatred starts fights,
but love pulls a quilt over the bickering.
13 You’ll find wisdom on the lips of a person of insight,
but the shortsighted needs a slap in the face.
14 The wise accumulate knowledge—a true treasure;
know-it-alls talk too much—a sheer waste.
The Road to Life Is a Disciplined Life
15 The wealth of the rich is their security;
the poverty of the indigent is their ruin.
16 The wage of a good person is exuberant life;
an evil person ends up with nothing but sin.
17 The road to life is a disciplined life;
ignore correction and you’re lost for good.
18 Liars secretly hoard hatred;
fools openly spread slander.
19 The more talk, the less truth;
the wise measure their words.
20 The speech of a good person is worth waiting for;
the blabber of the wicked is worthless.
21 The talk of a good person is rich fare for many,
but chatterboxes die of an empty heart.
Fear-of-God Expands Your Life
22 God’s blessing makes life rich;
nothing we do can improve on God.
23 An empty-head thinks mischief is fun,
but a mindful person relishes wisdom.
24 The nightmares of the wicked come true;
what the good people desire, they get.
25 When the storm is over, there’s nothing left of the wicked;
good people, firm on their rock foundation, aren’t even fazed.
26 A lazy employee will give you nothing but trouble;
it’s vinegar in the mouth, smoke in the eyes.
27 The Fear-of-God expands your life;
a wicked life is a puny life.
28 The aspirations of good people end in celebration;
the ambitions of bad people crash.
29 God is solid backing to a well-lived life,
but he calls into question a shabby performance.
30 Good people last—they can’t be moved;
the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow.
31 A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom;
a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.
32 The speech of a good person clears the air;
the words of the wicked pollute it.
