箴言 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
14 智慧的女子建立家园，
愚昧的女子亲手拆毁。
2 行为正直的人敬畏耶和华，
行事邪僻的人轻视耶和华。
3 愚人的狂言招来鞭打，
智者的唇舌保护自己。
4 没有耕牛槽头净，
五谷丰登需壮牛。
5 忠实的证人不会撒谎，
虚假的证人谎话连篇。
6 嘲讽者徒然寻智慧，
明哲人轻易得知识。
7 你要远离愚昧人，
他口中毫无知识。
8 明哲凭智慧辨道，
愚人被愚昧欺骗。
9 愚妄人戏看罪恶，
正直人彼此恩待。
10 心头的愁苦，唯有自己明白；
心中的喜乐，外人无法分享。
11 恶人的房屋必遭毁灭，
正直人的帐篷必兴盛。
12 有的路看似正确，
最终却通向死亡。
13 欢笑难消内心的痛苦，
欢乐过后，悲伤犹在。
14 背弃正道，自食恶果；
善人行善，必得善报。
15 愚昧人什么都信，
明哲人步步谨慎。
16 智者小心谨慎，远离恶事；
愚人骄傲自负，行事鲁莽。
17 急躁易怒的人做事愚昧，
阴险奸诈之人遭人痛恨。
18 愚昧人得愚昧作产业，
明哲人得知识为冠冕。
19 坏人俯伏在善人面前，
恶人俯伏在义人门口。
20 穷人遭邻舍厌，
富人朋友众多。
21 藐视邻舍是罪过，
怜悯穷人蒙福乐。
22 图谋恶事的步入歧途，
行善的受爱戴和拥护。
23 殷勤工作，带来益处；
满嘴空谈，导致贫穷。
24 智者以财富为冠冕，
愚人以愚昧为装饰。
25 诚实的证人挽救性命，
口吐谎言者欺骗他人。
26 敬畏耶和华的信心坚定，
他的子孙也有庇护所。
27 敬畏耶和华是生命的泉源，
可以使人避开死亡的陷阱。
28 人民众多，是君王的荣耀；
没有臣民，君主必然败亡。
29 不轻易发怒者深明事理，
鲁莽急躁的人显出愚昧。
30 心平气和，滋润生命；
妒火中烧，啃蚀骨头。
31 欺压穷人等于侮辱造物主，
怜悯贫弱就是尊敬造物主。
32 恶人因恶行而灭亡，
义人到死仍有倚靠。
33 智慧存在哲士心里，
愚人心中充满无知。
34 公义能叫邦国兴盛，
罪恶是人民的耻辱。
35 明智的臣子蒙王喜悦，
可耻的仆人惹王发怒。
Proverbs 14
Legacy Standard Bible
14 The [a](A)wise woman builds her house,
But the woman of folly tears it down with her own hands.
2 He who (B)walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh,
But he who is (C)devious in his ways despises Him.
3 In the mouth of the ignorant fool is a rod of lofty pride,
But (D)the lips of the wise will keep them.
4 Where no oxen are, the manger is clean,
But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.
5 A (E)faithful witness will not lie,
But a (F)false witness (G)breathes out lies.
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none,
But knowledge is easy to one who has understanding.
7 Leave the (H)presence of a fool,
As you have not known lips of knowledge there.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,
But (I)the folly of fools is deceit.
9 Ignorant fools scoff at guilt,
But (J)among the upright there is favor.
10 The heart knows its own (K)bitterness,
And a stranger does not share its gladness.
11 The (L)house of the wicked will be destroyed,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.
12 There (M)is a way which seems right to a man,
But its (N)end is the way of death.
13 Even in laughter the heart may be in pain,
And the (O)end of joy may be grief.
14 The one who turns back in his heart will be satisfied with his (P)ways,
But a good man will (Q)be satisfied [b]with his.
15 The simple believes everything,
But the prudent one discerns his steps.
16 A wise man fears and (R)turns away from evil,
But a fool gets angry and feels secure.
17 A quick-tempered man acts in folly,
And a man of evil schemes is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly,
But the prudent are [c]crowned with knowledge.
19 The (S)evil will bow down before the good,
And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The (T)poor is hated even by his neighbor,
But those who love the rich are many.
21 He who (U)despises his neighbor sins,
But how (V)blessed is he who is gracious to the [d]poor.
22 Will they not wander in error who (W)devise evil?
But lovingkindness and truth will be to those who devise good.
23 In all painful labor there is profit,
But mere words from the lips lead only to want.
24 The (X)crown of the wise is their riches,
But the folly of fools is folly.
25 A truthful witness delivers souls,
But he who (Y)breathes out lies is deceitful.
26 In the [e](Z)fear of Yahweh there is strong security,
And [f]his children will have refuge.
27 The [g]fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life,
To turn aside from the snares of death.
28 In a multitude of people is a king’s splendor,
But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin.
29 He who is (AA)slow to anger has great discernment,
But he who is [h]quick-tempered raises up folly.
30 A [i](AB)tranquil heart is life to the body,
But jealousy is (AC)rottenness to the bones.
31 He (AD)who oppresses the poor reproaches (AE)his Maker,
But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.
32 The wicked is (AF)thrust down by his own evil,
But the (AG)righteous takes refuge even in his death.
33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding,
But in the midst of fools it is merely made known.
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people.
35 The king’s favor is toward a (AH)servant who acts insightfully,
But his fury is toward him who acts shamefully.
