箴言 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

12 喜愛管教的喜愛知識，
    厭惡責備的愚不可及。
2 善良的人蒙耶和華賜恩，
    詭詐的人被耶和華定罪。
3 人不能靠惡行堅立自己，
    義人的根基卻不會動搖。
4 賢德的妻子是丈夫的冠冕，
    無恥的妻子如丈夫的骨瘤。
5 義人的心思公平正直，
    惡人的計謀陰險詭詐。
6 惡人的言語暗藏殺機，
    正直人的口拯救生命。
7 惡人覆滅不復存在，
    義人的家屹立不倒。
8 人有智慧受稱讚，
    心術不正遭唾棄。
9 地位卑微卻有僕人，
    勝過自高卻餓肚子。
10 義人顧惜自己的牲畜，
    惡人的憐憫也是殘忍。
11 努力耕耘者豐衣足食；
    追求虛榮者愚不可及。
12 惡人貪戀壞人的贓物，
    義人的根結出碩果。
13 惡人被自己的惡言所困，
    但義人可以脫離險境。
14 口出良言，飽嚐美福；
    雙手勤勞，終得回報。
15 愚人自以為是，
    智者肯聽勸誡。
16 愚人難壓怒氣，
    明哲忍辱負重。
17 忠實的證人講真話，
    作偽證者滿口謊言。
18 出言不慎猶如利劍傷人，
    智者之言卻能醫治創傷。
19 誠實的口永遠長存，
    撒謊的舌轉瞬即逝。
20 圖謀惡事的心懷詭詐，
    勸人和睦的喜樂洋溢。
21 義人無往不利，
    惡人災禍連連。
22 耶和華厭惡說謊的嘴，
    祂喜愛行為誠實的人。
23 明哲不露鋒芒，
    愚人心吐愚昧。
24 殷勤的手必掌權，
    懶惰者必做奴僕。
25 憂慮的心使人消沉，
    一句良言振奮人心。
26 義人引人走正路，
    惡人領人入歧途。
27 懶漢不烤獵物，
    勤快人得資財。
28 公義的道上有生命，
    公義的路上無死亡。

Proverbs 12
New International Version

12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but whoever hates correction is stupid.(A)

2 Good people obtain favor from the Lord,(B)
    but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes.(C)

3 No one can be established through wickedness,
    but the righteous cannot be uprooted.(D)

4 A wife of noble character(E) is her husband’s crown,
    but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.(F)

5 The plans of the righteous are just,
    but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
    but the speech of the upright rescues them.(G)

7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,(H)
    but the house of the righteous stands firm.(I)

8 A person is praised according to their prudence,
    and one with a warped(J) mind is despised.

9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
    than pretend to be somebody and have no food.

10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,(K)
    but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

11 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
    but those who chase fantasies have no sense.(L)

12 The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,
    but the root of the righteous endures.

13 Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk,(M)
    and so the innocent escape trouble.(N)

14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,(O)
    and the work of their hands brings them reward.(P)

15 The way of fools seems right to them,(Q)
    but the wise listen to advice.(R)

16 Fools(S) show their annoyance at once,(T)
    but the prudent overlook an insult.(U)

17 An honest witness tells the truth,
    but a false witness tells lies.(V)

18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords,(W)
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.(X)

19 Truthful lips endure forever,
    but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.

20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
    but those who promote peace have joy.(Y)

21 No harm overtakes the righteous,(Z)
    but the wicked have their fill of trouble.

22 The Lord detests lying lips,(AA)
    but he delights(AB) in people who are trustworthy.(AC)

23 The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves,(AD)
    but a fool’s heart blurts out folly.(AE)

24 Diligent hands will rule,
    but laziness ends in forced labor.(AF)

25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,(AG)
    but a kind word cheers it up.

26 The righteous choose their friends carefully,
    but the way of the wicked leads them astray.(AH)

27 The lazy do not roast[a] any game,
    but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

28 In the way of righteousness there is life;(AI)
    along that path is immortality.

But he who hates reproof is senseless.

But a man of evil schemes He will condemn.
3 A man will (B)not be established by wickedness,
But the root of the (C)righteous will not be shaken.
4 [b]An (D)excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who causes shame is like (E)rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,
But the guidance of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The (F)words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
But the (G)mouth of the upright will deliver them.
7 The (H)wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the (I)house of the righteous will stand.
8 A man will be praised according to his insight,
But one of perverse heart will be despised.
9 Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant
Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
10 A (J)righteous man knows the value of the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
11 He (K)who cultivates his land will be satisfied with bread,
But he who pursues empty things lacks a heart of wisdom.
12 The (L)wicked man desires a stronghold of evil men,
But the root of the righteous (M)gives fruit.
13 The snare of an evil man is in the transgression of his lips,
But the (N)righteous man will come out from distress.
14 A man will be (O)satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
And the good (P)deed of a man’s hands will return to him.
15 The (Q)way of an ignorant fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.
16 An (R)ignorant fool’s [c]anger is known at once,
But a prudent man conceals disgrace.
17 He who breathes out truth declares what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.
18 There is one who (S)speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the (T)tongue of the wise brings healing.
19 Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a (U)lying tongue is only for a moment.

But the wicked are filled with calamity.
22 (W)Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
But doers of faithfulness are His delight.
23 A (X)prudent man conceals knowledge,
But the heart of fools proclaims folly.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
But [d]the slack hand will be (Y)put to forced labor.
25 (Z)Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
But a (AA)good word makes it glad.
26 The righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked makes them wander about.
27 A slack handed man does not [e]roast his prey,
But the wealth of a man is (AB)precious for the diligent.
28 (AC)In the path of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.
