箴言 15
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
追求公義為 神所愛
15 柔和的回答使烈怒消退，
暴戾的話激動怒氣。
2 智慧人的舌頭闡揚知識；
愚昧人的口發出愚妄。
3 耶和華的眼目無所不在；
壞人好人他都鑒察。
4 說安慰話的舌頭是生命樹；
奸惡的舌頭使人心碎。
5 愚妄人藐視父親的管教；
看重責備的是精明的人。
6 義人家中財寶豐富；
惡人的收入卻帶來擾害。
7 智慧人的嘴唇散播知識；
愚昧人的心並不是這樣。
8 惡人的祭物是耶和華厭惡的；
正直人的禱告卻是他所喜悅的。
9 惡人的道路是耶和華厭惡的；
追求公義的人卻是他所愛的。
10 離棄正路的必受嚴厲的管教；
恨惡責備的必致死亡。
11 陰間和滅亡展露在耶和華面前，
何況世人的心呢？
12 好譏笑人的不喜愛責備他的人，
也不到智慧人那裡去。
13 喜樂的心使人臉上容光煥發；
心中愁苦使人精神頹喪。
14 聰明人的心尋求知識，
愚昧人的口只吃愚妄。
15 困苦人的日子盡是艱難；
心中暢快的好像常享豐筵。
16 財物雖少而敬畏耶和華，
勝過財物豐富卻煩惱不安。
17 吃素菜而彼此相愛，
勝過吃肥牛卻彼此憎恨。
18 脾氣暴烈的人常引起紛爭；
不輕易動怒的可平息爭執。
19 懶惰人的道路好像荊棘籬笆；
正直人的路徑是平坦的大道。
20 智慧的兒子使父親快樂；
愚昧人卻藐視自己的母親。
21 無知的人以愚妄為樂；
聰明人卻行事正直。
22 不經商議，計劃必定失敗；
謀士眾多，計劃就可成功。
23 應對得當，自己也覺喜樂；
合時的話，多麼美好！
24 生命之路領明慧人向上，
因此他可以離開在下面的陰間。
25 耶和華必拆毀驕傲人的家，
卻要立定寡婦的地界。
26 邪惡的思想是耶和華厭惡的；
恩慈的話卻是純淨的。
27 貪愛不義之財的禍害自己的家；
恨惡賄賂的必可以存活。
28 義人的心思想怎樣回答；
惡人的口發出惡言。
29 耶和華遠離惡人，
卻垂聽義人的禱告。
30 眼中的光采使人心快樂；
好消息使骨頭滋潤。
31 聽從有關生命之責備的，
必住在智慧人中間。
32 輕忽管教的是藐視自己；
聽從責備的卻得著智慧（“智慧”原文作“心”）。
33 敬畏耶和華是智慧的教訓；
尊榮以先，必有謙卑。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
15 温和的回答平息怒气，
粗暴的言词激起愤怒。
2 智者的舌头传扬知识，
愚人的嘴巴吐露愚昧。
3 耶和华的眼目无所不在，
善人和恶人都被祂鉴察。
4 温和的言词带来生命，
乖谬的话语伤透人心。
5 愚人蔑视父亲的管教，
接受责备的才算明智。
6 义人家中财富充足，
恶人得利惹来祸患。
7 智者的嘴传扬知识，
愚人的心并非如此。
8 耶和华憎恨恶人的祭物，
悦纳正直人的祈祷。
9 耶和华憎恨恶人的行径，
喜爱追求公义的人。
10 背离正道，必遭严惩；
厌恶责备，必致死亡。
11 阴间和冥府[a]在耶和华面前尚且无法隐藏，
何况世人的心思呢！
12 嘲讽者不爱听责备，
也不愿请教智者。
13 心中喜乐，容光焕发；
心里悲伤，精神颓丧。
14 哲士渴慕知识，
愚人安于愚昧。
15 困苦人天天受煎熬，
乐观者常常有喜乐。
16 财物虽少但敬畏耶和华，
胜过家财万贯却充满烦恼。
17 粗茶淡饭但彼此相爱，
胜过美酒佳肴却互相憎恨。
18 脾气暴躁，惹起争端；
忍耐克制，平息纠纷。
19 懒惰人的路布满荆棘，
正直人的道平坦宽阔。
20 智慧之子使父亲欢喜，
愚昧的人却藐视母亲。
21 无知者以愚昧为乐，
明哲人遵循正道。
22 独断专行，计划失败；
集思广益，事无不成。
23 应对得体，心中愉快；
言语合宜，何等美好！
24 智者循生命之路上升，
以免坠入阴间。
25 耶和华拆毁傲慢人的房屋，
祂使寡妇的地界完整无损。
26 耶和华憎恨恶人的意念，
喜爱纯洁的言语。
27 贪爱财富，自害己家；
厌恶贿赂，安然存活。
28 义人三思而后答，
恶人张口吐恶言。
29 耶和华远离恶人，
却听义人的祷告。
30 笑颜令人心喜，
喜讯滋润骨头。
31 倾听生命的训诫，
使人与智者同列。
32 不受管教就是轻看自己，
听从责备才能得到智慧。
33 敬畏耶和华使人得智慧，
学会谦卑后才能得尊荣。
Proverbs 15

Proverbs 15
Lexham English Bible
15 A soft answer will turn away wrath,
but a word of trouble will stir anger.[a]
2 The tongue of the wise will dispense knowledge,
but the mouth of fools will pour out folly.
3 In every place, the eyes of Yahweh
keep watch over the evil and the good.
4 Gentleness[b] of tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it[c] causes a break in spirit.
5 A fool will despise the instruction of his father,
but he who guards reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
7 The lips of the wise will spread knowledge,
but the heart[d] of fools, not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of Yahweh,
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 An abomination of Yahweh is the way of the wicked,
but he who pursues righteousness he will love.
10 Severe discipline belongs to him who forsakes the way;
he who hates a rebuke will die.
11 Sheol[e] and Abaddon[f] are before Yahweh,
how much more[g] the hearts of the children of men!
12 A scoffer does not like his rebuke;[h]
to the wise he will not go.
13 A heart[i] of gladness will make good countenance,[j]
but in sorrow of heart[k] a spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him who understands will seek knowledge,
but the faces of fools, they[l] will feed on folly.
15 All the days of the poor are hard,
but goodness of heart[m] is a continuous feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of Yahweh
than great treasure and trouble with it.[n]
17 Better is a dinner of vegetables when[o] love is there
than a fattened ox and hatred with it.[p]
18 A man who is hot-tempered will stir up strife,
but he who is slow to anger,[q] he will calm contention.
19 The way of the lazy is like a hedge of thorns,[r]
but the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A child of wisdom will make a father glad,
but a foolish person,[s] he despises his mother.
21 Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense,[t]
and a person of understanding will walk upright.[u]
22 Plans go wrong when there is no counsel,
but with many advisors it will succeed.
23 Joy belongs to a man with answers in his mouth,
and a word in its time, how good it is!
24 The path of life leads upward for him who has insight,
in order to turn away from Sheol below.
25 The house of the proud, Yahweh will tear it down,
but he will maintain the property line[v] of the widow.
26 Plans of evil are an abomination of Yahweh,
but gracious words are pure.
27 He who makes trouble for his house is he who is greedy for unjust gain,
but he who hates bribes will live.
28 A heart[w] of righteousness will ponder the answer,
but a mouth of wickedness will pour out deceit.
29 Yahweh is far from the wicked,
but the prayers of the righteous he will hear.
30 From the light of the eyes, the heart[x] will rejoice,
and good news will enliven the bones.[y]
31 The ear of him who listens to admonitions of life,
in the midst of the wise it will lodge.
32 He who ignores instruction despises himself,[z]
but he who hears admonition gains heart.[aa]
33 Fear of Yahweh is the instruction of the wise,
and before honor comes humility.

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.
