箴言 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
12 喜爱管教的喜爱知识，
厌恶责备的愚不可及。
2 善良的人蒙耶和华赐恩，
诡诈的人被耶和华定罪。
3 人不能靠恶行坚立自己，
义人的根基却不会动摇。
4 贤德的妻子是丈夫的冠冕，
无耻的妻子如丈夫的骨瘤。
5 义人的心思公平正直，
恶人的计谋阴险诡诈。
6 恶人的言语暗藏杀机，
正直人的口拯救生命。
7 恶人覆灭不复存在，
义人的家屹立不倒。
8 人有智慧受称赞，
心术不正遭唾弃。
9 地位卑微却有仆人，
胜过自高却饿肚子。
10 义人顾惜自己的牲畜，
恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
11 努力耕耘者丰衣足食；
追求虚荣者愚不可及。
12 恶人贪恋坏人的赃物，
义人的根结出硕果。
13 恶人被自己的恶言所困，
但义人可以脱离险境。
14 口出良言，饱尝美福；
双手勤劳，终得回报。
15 愚人自以为是，
智者肯听劝诫。
16 愚人难压怒气，
明哲忍辱负重。
17 忠实的证人讲真话，
作伪证者满口谎言。
18 出言不慎犹如利剑伤人，
智者之言却能医治创伤。
19 诚实的口永远长存，
撒谎的舌转瞬即逝。
20 图谋恶事的心怀诡诈，
劝人和睦的喜乐洋溢。
21 义人无往不利，
恶人灾祸连连。
22 耶和华厌恶说谎的嘴，
祂喜爱行为诚实的人。
23 明哲不露锋芒，
愚人心吐愚昧。
24 殷勤的手必掌权，
懒惰者必做奴仆。
25 忧虑的心使人消沉，
一句良言振奋人心。
26 义人引人走正路，
恶人领人入歧途。
27 懒汉不烤猎物，
勤快人得资财。
28 公义的道上有生命，
公义的路上无死亡。
Proverbs 12
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but those who hate to be rebuked are stupid.
2 The good obtain favor from the Lord,
but those who devise evil he condemns.
3 No one finds security by wickedness,
but the root of the righteous will never be moved.
4 A good wife is the crown of her husband,
but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just;
the advice of the wicked is treacherous.
6 The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,
but the speech of the upright delivers them.
7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
but the house of the righteous will stand.
8 One is commended for good sense,
but a perverse mind is despised.
9 Better to be despised and have a servant,
than to be self-important and lack food.
10 The righteous know the needs of their animals,
but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
11 Those who till their land will have plenty of food,
but those who follow worthless pursuits have no sense.
12 The wicked covet the proceeds of wickedness,[a]
but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
13 The evil are ensnared by the transgression of their lips,
but the righteous escape from trouble.
14 From the fruit of the mouth one is filled with good things,
and manual labor has its reward.
15 Fools think their own way is right,
but the wise listen to advice.
16 Fools show their anger at once,
but the prudent ignore an insult.
17 Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence,
but a false witness speaks deceitfully.
18 Rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
20 Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy.
21 No harm happens to the righteous,
but the wicked are filled with trouble.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who act faithfully are his delight.
23 One who is clever conceals knowledge,
but the mind of a fool[b] broadcasts folly.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the lazy will be put to forced labor.
25 Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up.
26 The righteous gives good advice to friends,[c]
but the way of the wicked leads astray.
27 The lazy do not roast[d] their game,
but the diligent obtain precious wealth.[e]
28 In the path of righteousness there is life,
in walking its path there is no death.
