箴言 15
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
追求公义为 神所爱
15 柔和的回答使烈怒消退，
暴戾的话激动怒气。
2 智慧人的舌头阐扬知识；
愚昧人的口发出愚妄。
3 耶和华的眼目无所不在；
坏人好人他都鉴察。
4 说安慰话的舌头是生命树；
奸恶的舌头使人心碎。
5 愚妄人藐视父亲的管教；
看重责备的是精明的人。
6 义人家中财宝丰富；
恶人的收入却带来扰害。
7 智慧人的嘴唇散播知识；
愚昧人的心并不是这样。
8 恶人的祭物是耶和华厌恶的；
正直人的祷告却是他所喜悦的。
9 恶人的道路是耶和华厌恶的；
追求公义的人却是他所爱的。
10 离弃正路的必受严厉的管教；
恨恶责备的必致死亡。
11 阴间和灭亡展露在耶和华面前，
何况世人的心呢？
12 好讥笑人的不喜爱责备他的人，
也不到智慧人那里去。
13 喜乐的心使人脸上容光焕发；
心中愁苦使人精神颓丧。
14 聪明人的心寻求知识，
愚昧人的口只吃愚妄。
15 困苦人的日子尽是艰难；
心中畅快的好象常享丰筵。
16 财物虽少而敬畏耶和华，
胜过财物丰富却烦恼不安。
17 吃素菜而彼此相爱，
胜过吃肥牛却彼此憎恨。
18 脾气暴烈的人常引起纷争；
不轻易动怒的可平息争执。
19 懒惰人的道路好象荆棘篱笆；
正直人的路径是平坦的大道。
20 智慧的儿子使父亲快乐；
愚昧人却藐视自己的母亲。
21 无知的人以愚妄为乐；
聪明人却行事正直。
22 不经商议，计划必定失败；
谋士众多，计划就可成功。
23 应对得当，自己也觉喜乐；
合时的话，多么美好！
24 生命之路领明慧人向上，
因此他可以离开在下面的阴间。
25 耶和华必拆毁骄傲人的家，
却要立定寡妇的地界。
26 邪恶的思想是耶和华厌恶的；
恩慈的话却是纯净的。
27 贪爱不义之财的祸害自己的家；
恨恶贿赂的必可以存活。
28 义人的心思想怎样回答；
恶人的口发出恶言。
29 耶和华远离恶人，
却垂听义人的祷告。
30 眼中的光采使人心快乐；
好消息使骨头滋润。
31 听从有关生命之责备的，
必住在智慧人中间。
32 轻忽管教的是藐视自己；
听从责备的却得着智慧（“智慧”原文作“心”）。
33 敬畏耶和华是智慧的教训；
尊荣以先，必有谦卑。
Proverbs 15
Legacy Standard Bible
15 A (A)gentle answer turns away wrath,
But a [a](B)harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The (C)tongue of the wise makes knowledge look good,
But the (D)mouth of [b]fools pours forth [c]folly.
3 The (E)eyes of Yahweh are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good.
4 A tongue that brings healing is a tree of life,
But perversion in it breaks the spirit.
5 An ignorant fool spurns his father’s discipline,
But he who keeps reproof is prudent.
6 The house of the (F)righteous has much treasure,
But in the income of the wicked there is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,
But the hearts of fools are not so.
8 The (G)sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
But (H)the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
But He loves one who (I)pursues righteousness.
10 Grievous discipline is for him who forsakes the way;
He who hates reproof will die.
11 (J)Sheol and Abaddon lie open before Yahweh,
How much more the (K)hearts of the sons of men!
12 A (L)scoffer does not love one who reproves him,
He will not go to the wise.
13 A (M)glad heart makes a face look good,
But [d]when the heart is (N)pained, the (O)spirit is broken.
14 The (P)heart of the one who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,
But a good heart has a continual feast.
16 (Q)Better is a little with the [e]fear of Yahweh
Than great treasure and turmoil with it.
17 (R)Better is a [f]dish of [g]vegetables where there is love
Than a (S)fattened ox and hatred in it.
18 A (T)hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But the (U)slow to anger (V)quiets a dispute.
19 The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A (W)wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man (X)despises his mother.
21 Folly is gladness to him who lacks a heart of wisdom,
But a man of discernment (Y)walks straight.
22 Without consultation, [h]plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they [i]succeed.
23 A (Z)man has gladness in an [j]apt answer,
And how good is a timely (AA)word!
24 The (AB)path of life leads upward for the one who has insight
That he may turn away from Sheol below.
25 Yahweh will (AC)tear down the house of the proud,
But He will (AD)cause the boundary of the (AE)widow to stand.
26 Evil thoughts are an abomination to Yahweh,
But pleasant words are pure.
27 He who is (AF)greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who (AG)hates gifts of bribery will live.
28 The heart of the righteous (AH)ponders how to answer,
But the (AI)mouth of the wicked pours forth evil things.
29 Yahweh is (AJ)far from the wicked,
But He (AK)hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 [k]Bright eyes gladden the heart;
A good report puts fat on the bones.
31 He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof
Will lodge among the wise.
32 He who (AL)neglects discipline (AM)despises his soul,
But he who (AN)listens to reproof acquires a heart of wisdom.
33 The [l]fear of Yahweh is the discipline [m]leading to wisdom,
And before glory comes humility.

Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

But the (D)mouth of fools spouts folly.

Watching the evil and the good.

16 (Q)Better is a little with the [l]fear of the Lord
Than great treasure and turmoil with it.
17 (R)Better is a [m]dish of [n]vegetables where love is
