箴言 第 11 章
1诡诈的天平为耶和华所憎恶； 公平的法码为他所喜悦。
1A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
3正直人的纯正必引导自己； 奸诈人的乖僻必毁灭自己。
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4发怒的日子资财无益； 惟有公义能救人脱离死亡。
4Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
5完全人的义必指引他的路； 但恶人必因自己的恶跌倒。
5The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6正直人的义必拯救自己； 奸诈人必陷在自己的罪孽中。
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
7恶人一死，他的指望必灭绝； 罪人的盼望也必灭没。
7When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
9不虔敬的人用口败坏邻舍； 义人却因知识得救。
9An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10义人享福，合城喜乐； 恶人灭亡，人都欢呼。
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11城因正直人祝福便高举， 却因邪恶人的口就倾覆。
11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12藐视邻舍的，毫无智慧； 明哲人却静默不言。
12He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13往来传舌的，泄漏密事； 心中诚实的，遮隐事情。
13A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14无智谋，民就败落； 谋士多，人便安居。
14Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15为外人作保的，必受亏损； 恨恶击掌的，却得安稳。
15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
17仁慈的人善待自己； 残忍的人扰害己身。
17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18恶人经营，得虚浮的工价； 撒义种的，得实在的果效。
18The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
19恒心为义的，必得生命； 追求邪恶的，必致死亡。
19As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20心中乖僻的，为耶和华所憎恶； 行事完全的，为他所喜悦。
20They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
21恶人虽然连手，必不免受罚； 义人的后裔必得拯救。
21Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
22妇女美貌而无见识， 如同金环带在猪鼻上。
22As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
23义人的心愿尽得好处； 恶人的指望致干忿怒。
23The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24有施散的，却更增添； 有吝惜过度的，反致穷乏。
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
25好施舍的，必得丰裕； 滋润人的，必得滋润。
25The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26屯粮不卖的，民必咒诅他； 情愿出卖的，人必为他祝福。
26He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27恳切求善的，就求得恩惠； 惟独求恶的，恶必临到他身。
27He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28倚仗自己财物的，必跌倒； 义人必发旺，如青叶。
28He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29扰害己家的，必承受清风； 愚昧人必作慧心人的仆人。
29He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
