箴言 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
愚蒙人当转向智慧
9 智慧建造自己的房屋，
凿成七根柱子。
2 它宰杀牲口，调配美酒，
摆设筵席。
3 它差派几个使女出去，
自己又在城里的高处呼喊：
4 “谁是愚蒙人，
可以到这里来！”
又对无知的人说：
5 “你们都来，吃我的饼，
喝我调配的酒。
6 愚蒙人哪！你们要丢弃愚蒙，就可以存活，
并且要走在智慧的道路上。”
7 纠正好讥笑人的，必自招耻辱；
责备恶人的，必遭受羞辱。
8 你不要责备好讥笑人的，
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；
指教义人，他就增加学问。
10 敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端，
认识至圣者就是聪明。
11 因为借着我，你的日子就必增多，
你一生的年岁也必加添。
12 如果你有智慧，你的智慧必使你得益；
如果你讥笑人，你就必独自担当一切后果。
13 愚昧的妇人喧哗不停，
她是愚蒙，一无所知。
14 她坐在自己的家门口，
坐在城中高处的座位上，
15 向过路的人呼叫，
就是向往前直行的人呼叫：
16 “谁是愚蒙人，可以到这里来！”
又对无知的人说：
17 “偷来的水是甜的，
在暗中吃的饼是美味的。”
18 人却不知道她那里有阴魂，
她的客人是在阴间的深处。
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.

Proverbs 9
King James Version
9 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
