箴言 8
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
智慧警教世人
8 智慧岂不呼叫,聪明岂不发声? 2 她在道旁高处的顶上,在十字路口站立, 3 在城门旁,在城门口,在城门洞大声说: 4 “众人哪,我呼叫你们,我向世人发声, 5 说:愚蒙人哪,你们要会悟灵明!愚昧人哪,你们当心里明白! 6 你们当听,因我要说极美的话,我张嘴要论正直的事。 7 我的口要发出真理,我的嘴憎恶邪恶。 8 我口中的言语都是公义,并无弯曲乖僻。 9 有聪明的以为明显,得知识的以为正直。 10 你们当受我的教训,不受白银,宁得知识,胜过黄金。 11 因为智慧比珍珠[a]更美,一切可喜爱的都不足与比较。
12 “我智慧以灵明为居所,又寻得知识和谋略。 13 敬畏耶和华在乎恨恶邪恶,那骄傲、狂妄并恶道,以及乖谬的口,都为我所恨恶。 14 我有谋略和真知识,我乃聪明,我有能力。 15 帝王借我坐国位,君王借我定公平。 16 王子和首领,世上一切的审判官,都是借我掌权。 17 爱我的,我也爱他;恳切寻求我的,必寻得见。 18 丰富尊荣在我,恒久的财并公义也在我。 19 我的果实胜过黄金,强如精金,我的出产超乎高银。 20 我在公义的道上走,在公平的路中行, 21 使爱我的承受货财,并充满他们的府库。
智慧之本源
22 “在耶和华造化的起头,在太初创造万物之先,就有了我。 23 从亘古,从太初,未有世界以前,我已被立。 24 没有深渊,没有大水的泉源,我已生出。 25 大山未曾奠定,小山未有之先,我已生出。 26 耶和华还没有创造大地和田野,并世上的土质,我已生出。 27 他立高天,我在那里,他在渊面的周围划出圆圈, 28 上使穹苍坚硬,下使渊源稳固, 29 为沧海定出界限,使水不越过他的命令,立定大地的根基。 30 那时,我在他那里为工师,日日为他所喜爱,常常在他面前踊跃, 31 踊跃在他为人预备可住之地,也喜悦住在世人之间。
智慧致福
32 “众子啊,现在要听从我,因为谨守我道的便为有福。 33 要听教训,就得智慧,不可弃绝。 34 听从我,日日在我门口仰望,在我门框旁边等候的,那人便为有福! 35 因为寻得我的就寻得生命,也必蒙耶和华的恩惠。 36 得罪我的却害了自己的性命,恨恶我的都喜爱死亡。”

Proverbs 8
New International Version
Wisdom’s Call
8 Does not wisdom call out?(A)
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:(B)
4 “To you, O people, I call out;(C)
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple,(D) gain prudence;(E)
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,(F)
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,(G)
11 for wisdom is more precious(H) than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.(I)
12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.(J)
13 To fear the Lord(K) is to hate evil;(L)
I hate(M) pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.(N)
15 By me kings reign
and rulers(O) issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,(P)
and nobles—all who rule on earth.[b]
17 I love those who love me,(Q)
and those who seek me find me.(R)
18 With me are riches and honor,(S)
enduring wealth and prosperity.(T)
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;(U)
what I yield surpasses choice silver.(V)
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,(W)
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.(X)
22 “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[c][d]
before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;(Y)
25 before the mountains were settled in place,(Z)
before the hills, I was given birth,(AA)
26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.(AB)
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,(AC)
when he marked out the horizon(AD) on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above(AE)
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,(AF)
29 when he gave the sea its boundary(AG)
so the waters would not overstep his command,(AH)
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.(AI)
30 Then I was constantly[e] at his side.(AJ)
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.(AK)
32 “Now then, my children, listen(AL) to me;
blessed are(AM) those who keep my ways.(AN)
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34 Blessed are those who listen(AO) to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35 For those who find me(AP) find life(AQ)
and receive favor from the Lord.(AR)
36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves;(AS)
all who hate me love death.”(AT)

Proverbs 8
King James Version
8 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
