箴言 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
所羅門的箴言（續）
25 以下也是所羅門的箴言，由猶大王希西迦的人抄錄。
2 將事隱藏是上帝的榮耀，
把事查明是君王的光榮。
3 天之高，地之厚，
君王的心測不透。
4 除掉銀子裡的渣滓，
銀匠就能鑄造器皿。
5 清除君王身邊的惡人，
王位必因公義而鞏固。
6 不可在王面前妄自尊大，
不要佔據大人物的位子。
7 與其在權貴面前受羞辱，
不如等人邀請你坐上座。
8 不可魯莽地打官司，
以免敗訴、羞愧難當。
9 遇到跟鄰舍爭訟，
不可洩露其秘密，
10 免得聽見的人辱罵你，
你的惡名將永難洗刷。
11 一句話說得合宜，
就像金蘋果放在銀器裡。
12 對受教者而言，
智者的責備猶如金耳環和金飾物。
13 忠信的使者叫主人心裡舒暢，
就像夏收之時有冰雪的涼氣。
14 誇口送禮物卻食言的人，
就像沒有雨水的風和雲。
15 堅忍說服君王，
柔舌折斷骨頭。
16 找到蜂蜜要酌量而食，
免得吃多了嘔吐。
17 不要頻頻去鄰舍家，
免得惹人煩、遭人厭。
18 作偽證陷害鄰舍的人，
無異於大錘、刀和利箭。
19 危難時投靠奸詐之人，
形同倚靠壞牙和跛腳。
20 對憂傷的人唱歌，
如同天寒脫衣、傷口撒鹽。
21 你的仇敵若餓了，
就給他吃的；
若渴了，就給他水喝；
22 因為你這是把炭火堆在他頭上，
耶和華必獎賞你。
23 北風帶來雨水，
讒言激起憤怒。
24 寧願住在屋頂的一角，
不跟爭鬧的妻子同屋。
25 有好消息從遠方傳來，
如涼水滋潤乾渴的人。
26 義人向惡人低頭，
就像清泉被攪渾，
水井受污染。
27 蜂蜜吃得太多有害無益，
追求自己的榮耀也不光彩。
28 無法自制的人就像被攻破的無牆之城。

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.

Proverbs 25
King James Version
25 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
