箴言 9
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
智慧和愚蠢
9 智慧建造房屋，
凿成七根柱子，
2 宰杀牲畜，调好美酒，
又摆设筵席，
3 派遣女仆出去，
自己在城中至高处呼唤：
4 “谁是愚蒙的人，让他转到这里来！”
又对那无知的人说：
5 “你们来，吃我的饼，
喝我调的酒。
6 你们要离弃愚蒙，就得存活，
并要走明智的道路。”
7 纠正傲慢人的，必招羞辱，
责备恶人的，必被侮辱。
8 不要责备傲慢人，免得他恨你；
要责备智慧人，他必爱你。
9 教导智慧人，他就越有智慧，
指示义人，他就增长学问。
10 敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端，
认识至圣者便是聪明。
11 藉着我，你的日子必增多，
你生命的年数也必加添。
12 你若有智慧，是自己有智慧；
你若傲慢，就自己承担。
13 愚昧的女子喧嚷，
她是愚蒙，一无所知。
14 她坐在自己家门口，
在城中高处的座位上，
15 呼唤过路的，
向那些在路上直走的人说：
16 “谁是愚蒙的人，让他转到这里来！”
又对那无知的人说：
17 “偷来的水是甜的，
暗藏的饼是美的。”
18 人却不知有阴魂在她那里，
她召唤的人是在阴间的深处。
Proverbs 9
New King James Version
The Way of Wisdom
9 Wisdom has (A)built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;
2 (B)She has slaughtered her meat,
(C)She has mixed her wine,
She has also [a]furnished her table.
3 She has sent out her maidens,
She cries out from the highest places of the city,
4 “Whoever(D) is simple, let him turn in here!”
As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
5 “Come,(E) eat of my bread
And drink of the wine I have mixed.
6 Forsake foolishness and live,
And go in the way of understanding.
7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
8 (F)Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
(G)Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, (H)and he will increase in learning.
10 “The(I) fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 (J)For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you.
12 (K)If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”
The Way of Folly
13 (L)A foolish woman is [b]clamorous;
She is simple, and knows nothing.
14 For she sits at the door of her house,
On a seat (M)by the highest places of the city,
15 To call to those who pass by,
Who go straight on their way:
16 “Whoever(N) is [c]simple, let him turn in here”;
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 “Stolen(O) water is sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that (P)the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of [d]hell.
