箴言 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
宜謹守誡命
3 我兒，不要忘記我的法則[a]，你心要謹守我的誡命， 2 因為他必將長久的日子、生命的年數與平安加給你。 3 不可使慈愛、誠實離開你，要繫在你頸項上，刻在你心版上。 4 這樣，你必在神和世人眼前蒙恩寵，有聰明。 5 你要專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明， 6 在你一切所行的事上都要認定他，他必指引你的路。 7 不要自以為有智慧，要敬畏耶和華，遠離惡事。 8 這便醫治你的肚臍，滋潤你的百骨。 9 你要以財物和一切初熟的土產尊榮耶和華， 10 這樣，你的倉房必充滿有餘，你的酒榨有新酒盈溢。 11 我兒，你不可輕看耶和華的管教[b]，也不可厭煩他的責備。 12 因為耶和華所愛的，他必責備，正如父親責備所喜愛的兒子。
智慧之寶貴
13 得智慧，得聰明的，這人便為有福！ 14 因為得智慧勝過得銀子，其利益強如精金； 15 比珍珠[c]寶貴，你一切所喜愛的都不足與比較。 16 她右手有長壽，左手有富貴。 17 她的道是安樂，她的路全是平安。 18 她與持守她的做生命樹，持定她的俱各有福。 19 耶和華以智慧立地，以聰明定天， 20 以知識使深淵裂開，使天空滴下甘露。
21 我兒，要謹守真智慧和謀略，不可使他離開你的眼目。 22 這樣，他必做你的生命，頸項的美飾。 23 你就坦然行路，不致碰腳。 24 你躺下，必不懼怕；你躺臥，睡得香甜。 25 忽然來的驚恐，不要害怕；惡人遭毀滅，也不要恐懼。 26 因為耶和華是你所倚靠的，他必保守你的腳不陷入網羅。
善惡之報施
27 你手若有行善的力量，不可推辭，就當向那應得的人施行。 28 你那裡若有現成的，不可對鄰舍說：「去吧，明天再來，我必給你。」 29 你的鄰舍既在你附近安居，你不可設計害他。 30 人未曾加害於你，不可無故與他相爭。 31 不可嫉妒強暴的人，也不可選擇他所行的路。 32 因為乖僻人為耶和華所憎惡，正直人為他所親密。 33 耶和華咒詛惡人的家庭，賜福於義人的居所。 34 他譏誚那好譏誚的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。 35 智慧人必承受尊榮，愚昧人高升也成為羞辱。
Proverbs 3
English Standard Version
Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart
3 (A)My son, do not forget my teaching,
(B)but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for (C)length of days and years of life
and (D)peace they will add to you.
3 Let not (E)steadfast love and (F)faithfulness forsake you;
(G)bind them around your neck;
(H)write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will (I)find favor and (J)good success[a]
in the sight of God and man.
5 (K)Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and (L)do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways (M)acknowledge him,
and he (N)will make straight your paths.
7 (O)Be not wise in your own eyes;
(P)fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be (Q)healing to your flesh[b]
and (R)refreshment[c] to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with (S)the firstfruits of all your produce;
10 then your (T)barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.
11 (U)My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as (V)a father the son in whom he delights.
Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom
13 (W)Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
14 (X)for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than (Y)gold.
15 She is more precious than (Z)jewels,
and (AA)nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 (AB)Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are (AC)riches and honor.
17 Her (AD)ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is (AE)a tree of life to those who (AF)lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.
19 (AG)The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
by understanding (AH)he established the heavens;
20 by his knowledge (AI)the deeps broke open,
and (AJ)the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, (AK)do not lose sight of these—
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be (AL)life for your soul
and (AM)adornment for your neck.
23 (AN)Then you will walk on your way securely,
(AO)and your foot will not stumble.
24 (AP)If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, (AQ)your sleep will be sweet.
25 (AR)Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of (AS)the ruin[d] of the wicked, when it comes,
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will (AT)keep your foot from being caught.
27 (AU)Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[e]
when it is in your power to do it.
28 (AV)Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
29 (AW)Do not plan evil against your neighbor,
who (AX)dwells trustingly beside you.
30 (AY)Do not contend with a man for no reason,
when he has done you no harm.
31 (AZ)Do not envy (BA)a man of violence
and do not choose any of his ways,
32 for (BB)the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are (BC)in his confidence.
33 (BD)The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he (BE)blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the (BF)scorners he (BG)is scornful,
(BH)but to the humble he gives favor.[f]
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get[g] disgrace.

Proverbs 3
King James Version
3 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
