箴言 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
11 耶和华憎恶骗人的天平,
喜爱公平的砝码。
2 傲慢带来羞辱,
谦卑者有智慧。
3 正直人靠诚实引导,
奸诈者被奸诈毁灭。
4 在降怒之日,财富毫无益处,
唯有公义能救人免于死亡。
5 纯全人行义走坦途,
恶人作恶致沉沦。
6 正直人被义行所救,
奸诈者被私欲所掳。

他对财势的冀望转眼成空。
8 义人脱离患难,
恶人落入苦难。

义人却因知识获得拯救。
10 义人亨通,全城快乐;
恶人灭亡,人人欢呼。
11 城因正直人的祝福而兴盛,
因恶人的口舌而倾覆。
12 无知者轻视邻舍,
明哲人保持缄默。
13 嚼舌者泄露秘密,
忠信者守口如瓶。
14 缺乏智谋,国必败亡;
谋士众多,战无不胜。
15 为他人作保,必受亏损;
厌恶当保人,得享平安。
16 贤淑的女子得到尊荣,
残暴的男子得到资财。
17 仁慈的人造福自己,
残酷的人惹祸上身。
18 恶人赚来的转眼成空,
播种公义的必获奖赏。
19 坚持行义,必得生命;
追逐罪恶,终必灭亡。
20 心术不正的人令耶和华憎恶,
纯全无过的人蒙耶和华喜爱。
21 恶人终必落入法网,
义人的子孙必得拯救。
22 女子貌美无内涵,
如同猪鼻挂金环。
23 义人的愿望结出善果,
恶人的希望招致烈怒。
24 有人乐善好施,反倒越来越富;
有人一毛不拔,反而越来越穷。
25 慷慨好施的必得昌盛,
恩待他人的必蒙恩待。
26 囤粮不卖,惹人咒诅;
乐意卖粮,必蒙祝福。
27 寻求良善得恩惠,
追求罪恶遭祸患。
28 倚仗财势者必衰败,
义人必兴旺如绿叶。
29 祸害自家,必一无所有,
愚人必做智者的仆役。
30 义人结果如生命之树,
智者深得人心。
31 看啊!义人在世上尚且遭报[a],
更何况罪人和恶人呢?
Proverbs 11
1599 Geneva Bible
11 1 False [a]balances are an abomination unto the Lord: but a perfect [b]weight pleaseth him.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh [c]shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 The uprightness of the just shall guide them: but the frowardness of the transgressors shall destroy them.
4 (A)Riches avail not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
5 The righteousness of the upright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the just shall deliver them: but the transgressors shall be taken in their own wickedness.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the unjust shall perish.
8 The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his [d]stead.
9 An [e]hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbor: but the righteous shall be delivered by knowledge.
10 In the prosperity of the righteous the city [f]rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is joy.
11 By the [g]blessing of the righteous the city is exalted: but it is subverted by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that despiseth his neighbor, is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding will [h]keep silence.
13 He that goeth about as a slanderer, discovereth a secret: but he that is of a faithful heart, concealeth a matter.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but where many [i]counselors are, there is health.
15 He shall be sore vexed, that is surety for a [j]stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
16 A [k]gracious woman attaineth honor, and the strong men attain riches.
17 He that is merciful, [l]rewardeth his own soul: but he that troubleth his own [m]flesh, is cruel.
18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but he that soweth righteousness, shall receive a sure reward.
19 As righteousness leadeth to life: so he that followeth evil, seeketh his own death.
20 They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are upright in their way, are his delight.
21 [n]Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
22 As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout: so is a fair woman which [o]lacketh discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the hope of the wicked [p]is indignation.
24 There is that scattereth, [q]and is more increased: but he that spareth more [r]than is right, surely cometh to poverty.
25 The [s]liberal person shall have plenty: and he that watereth, shall also have rain.
26 He that withdraweth the corn, the people will curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that [t]selleth corn.
27 He that seeketh good things getteth favor: but he that seeketh evil, it shall come to him.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a leaf.
29 He that troubleth his own [u]house, shall inherit the wind, and the fool shall be [v]servant to the wise in heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that [w]winneth souls is wise.
31 Behold, the righteous shall be [x]recompensed in the earth: how much more the wicked and the sinner?
