箴言 25
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
所羅門的另一些箴言
25 以下也是所羅門的箴言，是猶大王希西家的人所謄錄的。
2 隱藏事情是 神的榮耀；
查明事情乃君王的榮耀。
3 天之高，地之深，
君王之心測不透。
4 除去銀子的渣滓，
銀匠就做出器皿來。
5 除去王面前的惡人，
國位就靠公義堅立。
6 不可在君王面前妄自尊大，
也不要站在大人的位上。
7 寧可讓人家說「請你上到這裏來」，
強如在你覲見的貴人面前令你退下。
8 不要冒失出去與人爭訟[a]，
免得你的鄰舍羞辱你，
最後你就不知怎麼做。
9 要與鄰舍爭辯你的案情，
不可洩漏他人的隱密，
10 恐怕聽見的人責罵你，
你就難以擺脫臭名。
11 一句話說得合宜，
就如金蘋果在銀網子裏[b]。
12 智慧人的勸戒在順從的人耳中，
好像金環和金首飾。
13 忠信的使者對那差他的人，
就如收割時有冰雪的涼氣，
使主人的心舒暢。
14 人空誇禮物而不肯贈送，
就好像有風有雲卻無雨。
15 恆常的忍耐可以勸服君王，
柔和的舌頭能折斷骨頭。
16 你得了蜜，吃夠就好，
免得過飽就吐出來。
17 你的腳要少進鄰舍的家，
免得他厭煩你，恨惡你。
18 作假見證陷害鄰舍的，
就是大錘，是利刀，是快箭。
19 患難時倚靠奸詐的人，
好像牙齒斷裂，又如腳脫臼。
20 對傷心的人唱歌，
就如冷天脫他的衣服，
又如在鹼上倒醋[c]。
21 你的仇敵若餓了，就給他飯吃，
若渴了，就給他水喝；
22 因為你這樣做，就是把炭火堆在他的頭上，
耶和華必回報你。
23 正如北風生雨，
毀謗的舌頭也生怒容。
24 寧可住在房頂的一角，
也不與好爭吵的婦人同住。
25 有好消息從遙遠的地方來，
就如涼水滋潤口渴的人。
26 義人在惡人面前退縮，
好像攪渾之泉，污染之井。
27 吃蜜過多是不好的，
自求榮耀也是一樣。
28 人不克制自己的心，
就像毀壞的城沒有牆。

More Proverbs of Solomon
25 These are more proverbs(A) of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:(B)
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.(C)
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Remove the dross from the silver,
and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,(D)
and his throne will be established(E) through righteousness.(F)
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(G)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
What you have seen with your eyes
8 do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?(H)
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
11 Like apples[b] of gold in settings of silver(I)
is a ruling rightly given.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(J)
13 Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;
he refreshes the spirit of his master.(K)
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.(N)
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—
too much of you, and they will hate you.
18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow
is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.(O)
19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on a wound,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals(P) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.(Q)
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(R)
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(S)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey,(T)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.(U)
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.

More Proverbs of Solomon
25 These also are (A)proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied.
2 It is the glory of God to (B)conceal things,
but the glory of kings is to (C)search things out.
3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth,
so the heart of kings is (D)unsearchable.
4 Take away (E)the dross from the silver,
and (F)the smith has material for a vessel;
5 take away (G)the wicked from the presence of the king,
and his (H)throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence
or stand in the place of the great,
7 for (I)it is better to be told, “Come up here,”
than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.
What your eyes have seen
8 (J)do not hastily bring into court,[a]
for[b] what will you do in the end,
when your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 (K)Argue your case with your neighbor himself,
and do not reveal another's secret,
10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you,
and your ill repute have no end.
11 (L)A word fitly spoken
is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.
12 Like (M)a gold ring or an ornament of gold
is a wise reprover to (N)a listening ear.
13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
is (O)a faithful messenger to those who send him;
he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Like (P)clouds and wind without rain
is a man who (Q)boasts of a gift he does not give.
15 With (R)patience a ruler may be persuaded,
and a soft tongue will break a bone.
16 If you have (S)found honey, eat (T)only enough for you,
lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house,
lest he have his fill of you and hate you.
18 A man who (U)bears false witness against his neighbor
is like a war club, or (V)a sword, or a sharp arrow.
19 Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble
is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.
20 Whoever (W)sings songs to a heavy heart
is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day,
and like vinegar on soda.
21 (X)If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat,
and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
22 for you will heap (Y)burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings forth rain,
and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
24 (Z)It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
25 Like cold water to (AA)a thirsty soul,
so is (AB)good news from a far country.
26 Like (AC)a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27 It is (AD)not good to eat much honey,
nor is it glorious to (AE)seek one's own glory.[c]
28 A man (AF)without self-control
is like (AG)a city broken into and left without walls.
