箴言 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
15 溫和的回答平息怒氣，
粗暴的言詞激起憤怒。
2 智者的舌頭傳揚知識，
愚人的嘴巴吐露愚昧。
3 耶和華的眼目無所不在，
善人和惡人都被祂鑒察。
4 溫和的言詞帶來生命，
乖謬的話語傷透人心。
5 愚人蔑視父親的管教，
接受責備的才算明智。
6 義人家中財富充足，
惡人得利惹來禍患。
7 智者的嘴傳揚知識，
愚人的心並非如此。
8 耶和華憎恨惡人的祭物，
悅納正直人的祈禱。
9 耶和華憎恨惡人的行徑，
喜愛追求公義的人。
10 背離正道，必遭嚴懲；
厭惡責備，必致死亡。
11 陰間和冥府[a]在耶和華面前尚且無法隱藏，
何況世人的心思呢！
12 嘲諷者不愛聽責備，
也不願請教智者。
13 心中喜樂，容光煥發；
心裡悲傷，精神頹喪。
14 哲士渴慕知識，
愚人安於愚昧。
15 困苦人天天受煎熬，
樂觀者常常有喜樂。
16 財物雖少但敬畏耶和華，
勝過家財萬貫卻充滿煩惱。
17 粗茶淡飯但彼此相愛，
勝過美酒佳餚卻互相憎恨。
18 脾氣暴躁，惹起爭端；
忍耐克制，平息糾紛。
19 懶惰人的路佈滿荊棘，
正直人的道平坦寬闊。
20 智慧之子使父親歡喜，
愚昧的人卻藐視母親。
21 無知者以愚昧為樂，
明哲人遵循正道。
22 獨斷專行，計劃失敗；
集思廣益，事無不成。
23 應對得體，心中愉快；
言語合宜，何等美好！
24 智者循生命之路上升，
以免墜入陰間。
25 耶和華拆毀傲慢人的房屋，
祂使寡婦的地界完整無損。
26 耶和華憎恨惡人的意念，
喜愛純潔的言語。
27 貪愛財富，自害己家；
厭惡賄賂，安然存活。
28 義人三思而後答，
惡人張口吐惡言。
29 耶和華遠離惡人，
卻聽義人的禱告。
30 笑顏令人心喜，
喜訊滋潤骨頭。
31 傾聽生命的訓誡，
使人與智者同列。
32 不受管教就是輕看自己，
聽從責備才能得到智慧。
33 敬畏耶和華使人得智慧，
學會謙卑後才能得尊榮。
Proverbs 15
King James Version
Proverbs 15
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
