箴言 29
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
29 人屢次受責罰，仍然硬着頸項，
他必頃刻被毀，無從醫治。
2 義人增多，民就喜樂；
惡人掌權，民就嘆息。
3 愛慕智慧的，使父親喜樂；
結交妓女的，卻浪費錢財。
4 王藉公平，使國堅定；
強索貢物的，使它毀壞。
5 諂媚鄰舍的，
就是設網羅絆他的腳。
6 惡人犯罪，自陷圈套；
惟獨義人歡呼喜樂。
7 義人關注貧寒人的案情；
惡人不明瞭這種知識。
8 傲慢人煽動全城；
智慧人止息眾怒。
9 智慧人與愚妄人有爭訟，
或怒或笑，總不得安寧。
10 好流人血的，恨惡完全人，
正直人卻顧惜[a]他的性命。
11 愚昧人怒氣全發；
智慧人自我平息。
12 君王若聽謊言，
他一切臣僕都是奸惡。
13 窮乏人和欺壓者相遇[b]，
耶和華使他們的眼目明亮。
14 君王憑誠信判斷貧寒人，
他的國位必永遠堅立。
15 杖打和責備能增加智慧；
任性的少年使母親羞愧。
16 惡人多，過犯也加多，
義人必看見他們敗亡。
17 管教你的兒子，他就使你得安寧，
也使你心裏喜樂。
18 沒有異象[c]，民就放肆；
惟遵守律法的，便為有福。
19 僕人不能靠言語受教；
他即使明白，也不回應。
20 你見過言語急躁的人嗎？
愚昧人比他更有指望。
21 人將僕人從小嬌養，
至終必帶來憂傷[d]。
22 好生氣的人挑起爭端，
暴怒的人多多犯錯。
23 人的高傲使自己蒙羞；
心裏謙遜的，必得尊榮。
24 與盜賊分贓的，是恨惡自己的性命；
他雖聽見發誓的聲音，也不告訴人。
25 懼怕人的，陷入圈套；
惟有倚靠耶和華的，必得安穩。
26 求王恩的人多；
人獲公正來自耶和華。
27 不義之人，義人憎惡；
行事正直的，惡人憎惡。
Proverbs 29
King James Version
29 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
