箴言 25
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
所罗门的另一些箴言
25 以下也是所罗门的箴言，是犹大王希西家的人所誊录的。
2 隐藏事情是 神的荣耀；
查明事情乃君王的荣耀。
3 天之高，地之深，
君王之心测不透。
4 除去银子的渣滓，
银匠就做出器皿来。
5 除去王面前的恶人，
国位就靠公义坚立。
6 不可在君王面前妄自尊大，
也不要站在大人的位上。
7 宁可让人家说“请你上到这里来”，
强如在你觐见的贵人面前令你退下。
8 不要冒失出去与人争讼[a]，
免得你的邻舍羞辱你，
最后你就不知怎么做。
9 要与邻舍争辩你的案情，
不可泄漏他人的隐密，
10 恐怕听见的人责骂你，
你就难以摆脱臭名。
11 一句话说得合宜，
就如金苹果在银网子里[b]。
12 智慧人的劝戒在顺从的人耳中，
好像金环和金首饰。
13 忠信的使者对那差他的人，
就如收割时有冰雪的凉气，
使主人的心舒畅。
14 人空夸礼物而不肯赠送，
就好像有风有云却无雨。
15 恒常的忍耐可以劝服君王，
柔和的舌头能折断骨头。
16 你得了蜜，吃够就好，
免得过饱就吐出来。
17 你的脚要少进邻舍的家，
免得他厌烦你，恨恶你。
18 作假见证陷害邻舍的，
就是大锤，是利刀，是快箭。
19 患难时倚靠奸诈的人，
好像牙齿断裂，又如脚脱臼。
20 对伤心的人唱歌，
就如冷天脱他的衣服，
又如在碱上倒醋[c]。
21 你的仇敌若饿了，就给他饭吃，
若渴了，就给他水喝；
22 因为你这样做，就是把炭火堆在他的头上，
耶和华必回报你。
23 正如北风生雨，
毁谤的舌头也生怒容。
24 宁可住在房顶的一角，
也不与好争吵的妇人同住。
25 有好消息从遥远的地方来，
就如凉水滋润口渴的人。
26 义人在恶人面前退缩，
好像搅浑之泉，污染之井。
27 吃蜜过多是不好的，
自求荣耀也是一样。
28 人不克制自己的心，
就像毁坏的城没有墙。

More Proverbs of Solomon
25 These are also proverbs of Solomon which officials of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:
2 The glory of God[a] conceals things,
but the glory of kings searches out things.
3 As heaven is to height and the earth is to depth,
so is the heart[b] of kings—there is no searching.
4 Remove the dross from silver,
and it will become a vessel for the smith.
5 Remove the wicked before a king,
and his throne will be established in righteousness.[c]
6 Do not promote yourself before the king,
and in the place of the great ones do not stand.
7 For it is better that he say to you, “Ascend here,”
than he humble you before a noble.
What your eyes have seen,
8 do not hastily bring out to court,
for[d] what will you do at its end,
when your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 Argue your argument with your neighbor himself,
the secret of another do not disclose,
10 lest he who hears shame you
and your ill repute will not end.
11 Apples of gold in a setting of silver
is a matter spoken at[e] its proper time.
12 A ring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
is a rebuke of the wise to the ear of a listener.
13 Like the cold of snow on a day[f] of harvest
is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
and the soul[g] of his master is refreshed.[h]
14 Like clouds and wind when there is no rain,
so too is a man who boasts in a gift of deception.
15 With patience[i] a ruler may be persuaded,
and a soft tongue will break a bone.[j]
16 If you find honey, eat what is sufficient for you,
lest you have your fill of it and vomit it out.
17 Make your foot scarce in the house of your neighbor,
lest he become weary of you and hate you.
18 Like a club and sword and a sharp arrow
is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.
19 A bad tooth and a lame foot
is the trust of a faithless person in a time[k] of trouble.
20 Like one who removes a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on natron,[l]
is he who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, feed him bread,
and if thirsty, let him drink water.
22 For coals of fire you will heap upon his head,
and Yahweh will reward you.
23 The wind of the north produces rain,
and a backbiting tongue, angry faces.
24 Better to live upon the corner of a roof
than with a woman[m] of contention and in a shared house.
25 Like cold water[n] upon a weary soul,[o]
so too is good news from a distant place.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
is the righteous who gives way before the wicked.
27 To eat much honey is not good,
nor is seeking one’s honor[p] honorable.
28 A breached city where there is no wall
is like a man who has no[q] self-control for his spirit.

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.
