箴言 16
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
所作所谋交托 神就必成立
16 心里的筹划在于人，
舌头的应对却出于耶和华。
2 人看自己一切所行的，都是清洁的；
耶和华却衡量人心。
3 当把你所作的交托耶和华，
你的计划就必成功。
4 耶和华所造的各有目的，
连恶人也是为祸患的日子而造的。
5 心里骄傲的人都是耶和华厌恶的；
他们必不免受罚。
6 因着怜悯和信实，罪孽得赎；
因为敬畏耶和华，人可以避开罪恶。
7 人所行的，若是蒙耶和华喜悦，
耶和华也使他的仇敌与他和好。
8 收入少而有公义，
胜过收入多却毫无正义。
9 人心计划自己的道路，
他的脚步却由耶和华指引。
10 王的嘴里有 神的判语，
审判的时候，他的口必不差错。
11 公正的秤和天平都属耶和华，
囊中的一切法码都是他所造的。
12 作恶是君王所厌恶的，
因为王位是靠赖公义建立的。
13 公义的嘴唇是君王所喜悦的；
他喜爱说话正直的人。
14 君王的烈怒好象死亡的使者，
唯有智慧人能平息君王的怒气。
15 君王脸上欣悦的光采，使人得生命；
君王的恩宠好象春日雨云。
智慧人谨慎言行
16 得智慧胜过得金子，
选择哲理，胜过选择银子。
17 正直人的大道远离罪恶；
谨守自己道路的，保全自己的性命。
18 在灭亡以先，必有骄傲；
在跌倒以前，心中高傲。
19 存谦卑的心与穷乏人在一起，
胜过与骄傲人同分战利品。
20 留心听训言的必定得益；
倚靠耶和华的是有福的人。
21 心中有智慧的必称为聪明人；
动听的话能增加说服力。
22 明慧人的明慧是他生命的泉源；
愚妄人的惩罚就是愚妄。
23 智慧人的心教导自己的口，
使自己口中的话增加说服力。
24 恩慈的话好象蜂巢中的蜂蜜，
使人心里甘甜，骨头健壮。
25 有一条路，人以为是正路，
走到尽头却是死亡之路。
26 劳力的人身体的需要促使他劳力；
因为他的饥饿催逼着他。
27 无赖之徒挖出邪恶，
他口里的话好象灼热的火。
28 乖谬的人散播纷争，
搬弄是非的离间亲密的朋友。
29 强暴的人引诱邻舍，
领他走邪恶的道路。
30 瞇着眼睛的，图谋乖谬的事；
紧抿着嘴唇的，作成恶事。
31 白发是荣耀的冠冕，
在公义的路上，必能得着。
32 不轻易动怒的，胜过勇士；
克服己心的，胜过把城攻取的人。
33 签拋在人的怀中，
一切决断却在于耶和华。
Proverbs 16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
16 The plans of the mind and orderly thinking belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart).(A)
3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.
4 The Lord has made everything [to accommodate itself and contribute] to its own end and His own purpose—even the wicked [are fitted for their role] for the day of calamity and evil.
5 Everyone proud and arrogant in heart is disgusting, hateful, and exceedingly offensive to the Lord; be assured [I pledge it] they will not go unpunished.(B)
6 By mercy and love, truth and fidelity [to God and man—not by sacrificial offerings], iniquity is purged out of the heart, and by the reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord men depart from and avoid evil.
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation and right standing with God) than great revenues with injustice.(C)
9 A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.(D)
10 Divinely directed decisions are on the lips of the king; his mouth should not transgress in judgment.
11 A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights of the bag are His work [established on His eternal principles].
12 It is an abomination [to God and men] for kings to commit wickedness, for a throne is established and made secure by righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).
13 Right and just lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right.
14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life, and his favor is as a cloud bringing the spring rain.
16 How much better it is to get skillful and godly Wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.(E)
17 The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; he who guards his way preserves his life.
18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the meek and poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He who deals wisely and heeds [God’s] word and counsel shall find good, and whoever leans on, trusts in, and is confident in the Lord—happy, blessed, and fortunate is he.
21 The wise in heart are called prudent, understanding, and knowing, and winsome speech increases learning [in both speaker and listener].
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to those who have it, but to give instruction to fools is folly.
23 The mind of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning and persuasiveness to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.
26 The appetite of the laborer works for him, for [the need of] his mouth urges him on.
27 A worthless man devises and digs up mischief, and in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
28 A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.(F)
29 The exceedingly grasping, covetous, and violent man entices his neighbor, leading him in a way that is not good.
30 He who shuts his eyes to devise perverse things and who compresses his lips [as if in concealment] brings evil to pass.
31 The hoary head is a crown of beauty and glory if it is found in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).(G)
32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his [own] spirit than he who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is wholly of the Lord [even the events that seem accidental are really ordered by Him].
