箴言 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
智慧明哲均耶和华所赐
2 我儿，你若领受我的言语，存记我的命令， 2 侧耳听智慧，专心求聪明， 3 呼求明哲，扬声求聪明， 4 寻找她如寻找银子，搜求她如搜求隐藏的珍宝， 5 你就明白敬畏耶和华，得以认识神。 6 因为耶和华赐人智慧，知识和聪明都由他口而出。 7 他给正直人存留真智慧，给行为纯正的人做盾牌， 8 为要保守公平人的路，护庇虔敬人的道。 9 你也必明白仁义、公平、正直，一切的善道。 10 智慧必入你心，你的灵要以知识为美。 11 谋略必护卫你，聪明必保守你， 12 要救你脱离恶道[a]，脱离说乖谬话的人。 13 那等人舍弃正直的路，行走黑暗的道， 14 欢喜作恶，喜爱恶人的乖僻。 15 在他们的道中弯曲，在他们的路上偏僻。 16 智慧要救你脱离淫妇，就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。 17 他离弃幼年的配偶，忘了神的盟约。 18 他的家陷入死地，他的路偏向阴间。 19 凡到他那里去的不得转回，也得不着生命的路。 20 智慧必使你行善人的道，守义人的路。 21 正直人必在世上居住，完全人必在地上存留。 22 唯有恶人必然剪除，奸诈的必然拔出。
