箴言 10
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
善恶互论垂为箴言
10 所罗门的箴言。
智慧之子使父亲欢乐，愚昧之子叫母亲担忧。 2 不义之财毫无益处，唯有公义能救人脱离死亡。 3 耶和华不使义人受饥饿，恶人所欲的他必推开。 4 手懒的要受贫穷，手勤的却要富足。 5 夏天聚敛的是智慧之子，收割时沉睡的是贻羞之子。 6 福祉临到义人的头，强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。 7 义人的纪念被称赞，恶人的名字必朽烂。 8 心中智慧的必受命令，口里愚妄的必致倾倒。 9 行正直路的步步安稳，走弯曲道的必致败露。 10 以眼传神的使人忧患，口里愚妄的必致倾倒。 11 义人的口是生命的泉源，强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。 12 恨能挑起争端，爱能遮掩一切过错。 13 明哲人嘴里有智慧，无知人背上受刑杖。 14 智慧人积存知识，愚妄人的口速致败坏。 15 富户的财物是他的坚城，穷人的贫乏是他的败坏。 16 义人的勤劳致生，恶人的进项致死[a]。 17 谨守训诲的乃在生命的道上，违弃责备的便失迷了路。 18 隐藏怨恨的有说谎的嘴，口出谗谤的是愚妄的人。 19 多言多语难免有过，禁止嘴唇是有智慧。 20 义人的舌乃似高银，恶人的心所值无几。 21 义人的口教养多人，愚昧人因无知而死亡。 22 耶和华所赐的福使人富足，并不加上忧虑。 23 愚妄人以行恶为戏耍，明哲人却以智慧为乐。 24 恶人所怕的必临到他，义人所愿的必蒙应允。 25 暴风一过，恶人归于无有，义人的根基却是永久。 26 懒惰人叫差他的人如醋倒牙，如烟熏目。 27 敬畏耶和华使人日子加多，但恶人的年岁必被减少。 28 义人的盼望必得喜乐，恶人的指望必致灭没。 29 耶和华的道是正直人的保障，却成了作孽人的败坏。 30 义人永不挪移，恶人不得住在地上。 31 义人的口滋生智慧，乖谬的舌必被割断。 32 义人的嘴能令人喜悦，恶人的口说乖谬的话。

Proverbs 10
Easy-to-Read Version
Solomon’s Proverbs
10 These are the proverbs of Solomon:
A wise son makes his father happy; a foolish one makes his mother sad.
2 Wealth gained by doing wrong will not really help you, but doing right will save you from death.
3 The Lord takes care of good people and gives them the food they need, but he keeps the wicked from getting what they want.
4 Lazy hands will make you poor; hard-working hands will make you rich.
5 A son who works hard while it is harvest time will be successful, but one who sleeps through the harvest is worthless.
6 People say good things about those who live right, but the words of the wicked only hide their violent plans.
7 Good people leave memories that bless us, but the wicked are soon forgotten.
8 The wise accept instruction, but fools argue and bring trouble on themselves.
9 Honest people can always feel secure, but lying cheaters will be caught.
10 If you fail to speak the truth, trouble will follow. If you speak openly, peace will come.[a]
11 The words of good people are like a spring of fresh water,[b] but the words of the wicked only hide their violent plans.
12 Hatred causes arguments, but love overlooks all wrongs.
13 Intelligent people speak words of wisdom, but fools must be punished before they learn their lesson.[c]
14 Wise people are quiet and learn new things, but fools talk and bring trouble on themselves.
15 Wealth protects the rich, but poverty destroys the poor.
16 What good people do brings life, but wicked people produce only sin.
17 Those who accept correction show others how to live. Those who reject correction lead others the wrong way.
18 People sometimes lie to hide their hatred, but saying bad things about someone is even more foolish.
19 A person who talks too much gets into trouble. A wise person learns to be quiet.
20 Words from good people are like pure silver, but thoughts from the wicked are worthless.
21 Good people say things that help others, but the wicked die from a lack of understanding.
22 It is the Lord’s blessing that brings wealth, and no hard work can add to it.[d]
23 Fools enjoy doing wrong, but the wise enjoy wisdom.
24 The wicked will be defeated by what they fear, but good people will get what they want.
25 The wicked are destroyed when trouble comes, but good people stand strong forever.
26 Sending a lazy person to do anything is as irritating as vinegar on your teeth or smoke in your eyes.
27 Respect for the Lord will add years to your life, but the wicked will have their lives cut short.
28 What good people hope for brings happiness,[e] but what the wicked hope for brings destruction.
29 The Lord protects those who do right, but he destroys those who do wrong.
30 Good people will always be safe, but the wicked will be forced out of the land.
31 Those who live right say wise things, but people stop listening to troublemakers.[f]
32 Good people know the right things to say, but the wicked say things to make trouble.
