箴言 第 12 章
1喜爱管教的，就是喜爱知识； 恨恶责备的，却是畜类。
1Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠； 设诡计的人，耶和华必定他的罪。
2A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
3人靠恶行不能坚立； 义人的根必不动摇。
3A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4才德的妇人是丈夫的冠冕； 贻羞的妇人如同朽烂在她丈夫的骨中。
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5义人的思念是公平； 恶人的计谋是诡诈。
5The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血； 正直人的口必拯救人。
6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7恶人倾覆，归于无有； 义人的家必站得住。
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8人必按自己的智慧被称赞； 心中乖谬的，必被藐视。
8A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9被人轻贱，却有仆人， 强如自尊，缺少食物。
9He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10义人顾惜他牲畜的命； 恶人的怜悯也是残忍。
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11耕种自己田地的，必得饱食； 追随虚浮的，却是无知。
11He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
12恶人想得坏人的网罗； 义人的根得以结实。
12The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗； 但义人必脱离患难。
13The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14人因口所结的果子，必饱得美福； 人手所做的，必为自己的报应。
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
15愚妄人所行的，在自己眼中看为正直； 惟智慧人肯听人的劝教。
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
17说出真话的，显明公义； 作假见证的，显出诡诈。
17He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18说话浮躁的，如刀刺人； 智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19口吐真言，永远坚立； 舌说谎话，只存片时。
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20图谋恶事的，心存诡诈； 劝人和睦的，便得喜乐。
20Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21义人不遭灾害；恶人满受祸患。
21There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶； 行事诚实的，为他所喜悦。
22Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
23通达人隐藏知识； 愚昧人的心彰显愚昧。
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24殷勤人的手必掌权； 懒惰的人必服苦。
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25人心忧虑，屈而不伸； 一句良言，使心欢乐。
25Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
26义人引导他的邻舍； 恶人的道叫人失迷。
26The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
