箴言 28
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
义人得福恶人遭祸
28 恶人虽然没有人追赶，仍然逃跑；
义人却像狮子，放胆无惧。
2 国家因有过犯，领袖就经常更换；
依赖聪明知识俱备的人，国家才可以长存。
3 穷人欺压贫寒人，
就像暴雨冲没粮食。
4 离弃律法的，称赞恶人；
遵守律法的，却与恶人相争。
5 坏人不知公正是甚么，
寻求耶和华的却完全明白。
6 行为完全的穷人，
胜过行事狡诈的财主。
7 谨守训诲的，是聪明的人；
与贪食的人作伴的，却使父亲蒙羞。
8 凡是借着高息厚利增加自己财富的，
就是为那恩待穷人的人积蓄。
9 转身不听训诲的，
他的祷告也是可厌恶的。
10 诱惑正直人走上邪路的，
必掉在自己所挖的坑里；
完全人却必承受福气。
11 财主自以为有智慧，
聪明的穷人却能看透他。
12 义人得胜的时候，有极大的荣耀；
恶人兴起的时候，人就躲避。
13 遮掩自己过犯的，必不亨通；
承认并离弃过犯的，必蒙怜悯。
14 常存戒惧之心的，这人就为有福；
心里刚硬的，必陷在祸患里。
15 残暴的统治者辖制贫民，
就像吼叫的狮子，又像饥饿觅食的熊。
16 昏庸的君主必多行强暴，
憎恶不义之财的，必享长寿。
17 背负流人血之罪的，
必逃跑至死，人不可帮助他。
18 行为完全的，必蒙拯救；
行事狡诈的，必立刻跌倒。
19 耕种自己田地的，必有充足粮食；
追求虚幻的，必饱受穷乏之苦。
20 忠实的人必有大福；
急于发财的，不免受罚。
21 看人的情面是不对的；
但有人为了一点食物，竟然犯法。
22 吝啬的人急切求财（“吝啬”直译是“恶眼”），
却不知穷乏快要临到。
23 责备人的，终必得人喜悦，
胜过那用舌头谄媚人的。
24 偷窃自己父母财物，
并说：“这不是罪过”的，
这人是与强盗一伙。
25 贪心的人，必引起纷争；
倚靠耶和华的，必得丰裕。
26 自恃聪明的，是愚昧人；
凭着智慧行事的，必蒙拯救。
27 赒济穷人的，必不致缺乏；
闭眼不理他们的，必多受咒诅。
28 恶人兴起的时候，人就躲避；
恶人灭亡的时候，义人就增多。
Proverbs 28
New King James Version
The Righteous Are Bold as a Lion
28 The (A)wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8 One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion
Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.
9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
(G)Even his prayer is an abomination.
10 (H)Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way,
He himself will fall into his own pit;
(I)But the blameless will inherit good.
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes,
But the poor who has understanding searches him out.
12 When the righteous rejoice, there is great (J)glory;
But when the wicked arise, men [b]hide themselves.
13 (K)He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
14 Happy is the man who is always reverent,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great (N)oppressor,
But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.
17 (O)A man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit;
Let no one help him.
18 Whoever walks blamelessly will be [c]saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.
19 (P)He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
(Q)But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that (T)poverty will come upon him.
23 (U)He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
Than he who flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother,
And says, “It is no transgression,”
The same (V)is companion to a destroyer.
25 (W)He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,
(X)But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.
26 He who (Y)trusts in his own heart is a fool,
But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
27 (Z)He who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
28 When the wicked arise, (AA)men hide themselves;
But when they perish, the righteous increase.

Proverbs 28
English Standard Version
28 (A)The wicked flee when no one pursues,
but (B)the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 When a land transgresses, (C)it has many rulers,
but with a man of understanding and knowledge,
its stability will long continue.
3 (D)A poor man who oppresses the poor
is a beating rain that leaves no food.
4 Those who forsake the law (E)praise the wicked,
but those who keep the law (F)strive against them.
5 Evil men (G)do not understand justice,
but those who seek the Lord (H)understand it completely.
6 (I)Better is a poor man who (J)walks in his integrity
than a rich man who is (K)crooked in his ways.
7 The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,
but (L)a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8 Whoever multiplies his wealth (M)by interest and profit[a]
(N)gathers it for him who is (O)generous to the poor.
9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
even his (P)prayer is an abomination.
10 Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way
(Q)will fall into his own pit,
but the blameless (R)will have a goodly inheritance.
11 A rich man is wise in his (S)own eyes,
but a poor man who has understanding (T)will find him out.
12 When (U)the righteous triumph, there is great glory,
but when (V)the wicked rise, people hide themselves.
13 Whoever (W)conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who (X)confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
14 Blessed is the one who (Y)fears the Lord[b] always,
but whoever (Z)hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
15 Like (AA)a roaring lion or (AB)a charging bear
is (AC)a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16 A ruler who (AD)lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,
but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
17 If one is burdened with (AE)the blood of another,
he will be a fugitive until death;[c]
let no one help him.
18 (AF)Whoever (AG)walks in integrity will be delivered,
but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.
19 (AH)Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,
but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
but whoever hastens to be rich (AI)will not go unpunished.
21 To show (AJ)partiality is not good,
but for (AK)a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
22 A (AL)stingy man[d] (AM)hastens after wealth
and does not know that (AN)poverty will come upon him.
23 Whoever (AO)rebukes a man will afterward find more favor
than (AP)he who flatters with his tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother
and says, “That is no transgression,”
is (AQ)a companion to a man who destroys.
25 A greedy man (AR)stirs up strife,
but the one who trusts in the Lord will (AS)be enriched.
26 Whoever (AT)trusts in his own mind is a fool,
but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.
27 Whoever (AU)gives to the poor will not want,
but he who (AV)hides his eyes will get many a curse.
28 When (AW)the wicked rise, (AX)people hide themselves,
but when they perish, the righteous increase.
