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。

The good results of wise teaching
2 My child, listen to my teaching. Think about my commands. 2 Listen carefully, so that you understand what wisdom really is. 3 Yes, always try to learn what is right. Never stop trying to understand. 4 Look for wisdom as carefully as you would look for silver, or valuable jewels.
5 Then you will understand how to respect the Lord with fear. You will learn all about God. 6 It is the Lord who gives wisdom to people. He teaches us to understand things, so that we know what is true. 7 He helps good people to be wise in how they live. And he keeps honest people safe. 8 He protects the lives of righteous people. He takes care of people who serve him faithfully.
9 So learn from God. Then you will understand what is right, true and fair. You will know the best way to live. 10 You will become wise in your thoughts. Your knowledge of what is right will make you happy.
11 You will know the right thing to do, and that will keep you safe. 12 You will not join with wicked people. You will keep away from those who speak false things. 13 Those people no longer follow honest ways. They live in dark places. 14 They enjoy doing wicked and evil things. 15 They only do wrong things. They are always deceiving others.
16 If you have wisdom, you will not listen to the sweet words of a prostitute. A woman who likes to have sex with many men will not deceive you. 17 That kind of woman leaves her own husband. She married him when she was young. Now she forgets what she promised to God at the time of her marriage.
18 Do not go into her house! If you do, you will be on the road to death. If you follow her, you will arrive at the home of the spirits of dead people. 19 Anybody who visits her will never return. He will never find the way back to a good life.
20 If you have wisdom, you will enjoy life, as good people do. You will live as righteous people live. 21 Good and honest people will continue to live in our land. 22 But God will remove wicked people from the land. He will throw out all those who are not faithful.
