箴言 12
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
智慧人的话能医治人
12 喜爱教训的,就是喜爱知识;
厌恶责备的,却是愚顽人。
2 良善的人必得到耶和华的恩宠;
图谋奸计的人,耶和华必把他定罪。
3 人不能恃凭恶行坚立;
但义人的根必不动摇。
4 有才德的妻子是丈夫的冠冕,
贻羞的妇人,如同丈夫骨中的朽烂。
5 义人的筹算是公平,
恶人的计谋却是诡诈。
6 恶人的言语埋伏着,等待要流人的血,
正直人的口能拯救人。
7 恶人倾覆,就不再存在;
义人的家却必站立得住。
8 人因着自己的明慧必得称赞,
但心中乖谬的必被藐视。
9 被人轻看却有仆人的人,
胜过自尊自大却缺少食物的人。
10 义人连自己牲畜的性命也顾惜;
但恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
11 耕种自己田地的,也有充足的粮食;
追求虚幻的,实在无知。
12 恶人贪慕坏人的网罗;
义人的根得以结果。
13 坏人嘴里的过失,是自己的网罗;
但义人必脱离患难。
14 人因口所结的果子必饱尝美物;
人手所作的必归到他身上。
15 愚妄人所行的,在自己眼中看为正直,
只有智慧人肯听劝告。
16 愚妄人的恼怒立时显露,
精明的人却能忍受羞辱。
17 吐露真情的,彰显正义,
作假见证的却是诡诈。
18 有人说话不慎,好象利刀刺人,
智慧人的舌头却能医治人。
19 说实话的嘴唇,永远坚立;
撒谎的舌头,眨眼间消失。
20 图谋恶事的,心存诡诈;
使人和睦的,心中喜乐。
21 义人不会遭遇灾祸,
恶人却饱经祸患。
22 撒谎的嘴唇是耶和华憎恶的;
行事诚实是他所喜悦的。
23 精明的人隐藏自己的知识,
愚昧人的心却显出愚妄。
24 殷勤人的手必掌权,
懒惰人的手必作苦工。
25 心中忧虑,使人消沉;
一句良言使他欢喜。
26 义人作自己邻舍的引导;
恶人的道路,却使别人走迷。
27 懒惰的人不去烧烤他的猎物,
殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物(“殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物”或译:“人宝贵的财物是殷勤”)。
28 在公义的路上有生命,
这路径之上没有死亡(“这路径之上没有死亡”有古译本作“邪恶的路,引到死亡”)。
Proverbs 12
1599 Geneva Bible
12 1 He that loveth instruction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is a fool.
2 A good man getteth favor of the Lord: but the man of wicked imaginations will he condemn.
3 A man cannot be established by wickedness: but the [a]root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A [b]virtuous woman is the crown of her husband: but she that maketh him ashamed, is as corruption in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the just are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6 The talking of the wicked is to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will [c]deliver them.
7 God overthroweth the wicked, and they are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A man shall be commended for his wisdom: but the froward of heart shall be despised.
9 He that is despised, [d]and is his own servant, is better than he that boasteth himself, and lacketh bread.
10 A righteous man [e]regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 (A)He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of [f]understanding.
12 The wicked desireth the [g]net of evils: but the [h]root of the righteous giveth fruit.
13 The evil man is snared by the wickedness of his lips, but the just shall come out of adversity.
14 A man shall be satiate with good things by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man’s hands shall God give unto him.
15 The way of a fool is [i]right in his own eyes: but he that heareth in counsel, is wise.
16 A fool in a day shall be known by his anger: but he [j]that covereth shame, is wise.
17 He that speaketh truth, will show righteousness: but a false witness useth deceit.
18 (B)There is that speaketh words like the prickings of [k]a sword: but the tongue of wise men is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be stable forever: but a lying tongue varieth incontinently.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace shall be joy.
21 There shall none iniquity come to the just: but the wicked are full of evil.
22 The lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A wise man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of the fools publisheth foolishness.
24 (C)The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the idle shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man doth bring it down: but a [l]good word rejoice it.
26 The righteous [m]is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked will deceive them.
27 The deceitful man roasteth not that he [n]took in hunting: but the riches of the diligent man are precious.
28 Life is in the way of righteousness, and in that pathway there is no death.
