GODLY LIVING
1. List the promises which are given to a righteous (good, sensible) man in this chapter. What warnings are given to wicked people? (Prov. 10:3, 6-7, 11, 16, 20, 24, 27-28, 30, 32)
|
Prov. 10[3] The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
[6] Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.* [7] The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
[11] The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
[16] The wages of the righteous bring them life, but the income of the wicked brings them punishment.
[20] The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
[24] What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous desire will be granted.
[27] The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short. [28] The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
[30] The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land.
[32] The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

6 福祉临到义人的头。强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。7 义人的纪念被称赞。恶人的名字必朽烂。
11 义人的口是生命的泉源。强暴蒙蔽恶人的口。
16 义人的勤劳致生。恶人的进项致死。（死原文作罪）
20 义人的舌，乃似高银。恶人的心，所值无几。
24 恶人所怕的必临到他。义人所愿的必蒙应允。
27 敬畏耶和华，使人日子加多。但恶人的年岁必被减少。28 义人的盼望，必得喜乐。恶人的指望，必至灭没。
30 义人永不挪移。恶人不得住在地上。
32 义人的嘴，能令人喜悦。恶人的口，说乖谬的话。

2. Which virtues should we develop according to Proverbs 22:1, 3, 4, 9, 11?
|
Prov. 22[1] A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
[3] A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. [4] Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life.
[9] A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
[11] He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend.

1 美名胜过大财，恩宠强如金银。
3 通达人见祸藏躲。愚蒙人前往受害。4 敬畏耶和华心存谦卑，就得富有，尊荣，生命，为赏赐
9 眼目慈善的，就必蒙福。因他将食物分给穷人。
11 喜爱清心的人，因他嘴上的恩言，王必与他为友。
|
3. Compare the righteous and the wicked. What is the difference between their thinking, speech, treatment of others, and influence? (Prov. 12:5-6, 16-26)
|
Prov. 12[5] The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful. [6] The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
[16] A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. [17] A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies. [18] Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. [19] Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. [20] There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace. [21] No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble. [22] The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful. [23] A prudent man keeps his knowledge to himself, but the heart of fools blurts out folly. [24] Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor. [25] An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. [26] A righteous man is cautious in friendship,* but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

5 义人的思念是公平。恶人的计谋是诡诈。6 恶人的言论，是埋伏流人的血。正直人的口，必拯救人。
16 愚妄人的恼怒，立时显露。通达人能忍辱藏羞。17 说出真话的，显明公义。作假见证的，显出诡诈。
18 说话浮躁的，如刀刺人。智慧人的舌头，却为医人的良药。
19 口吐真言，永远坚立。舌说谎话，只存片时。20 图谋恶事的，心存诡诈。劝人和睦的，便得喜乐。21 义人不遭灾害恶人满受祸患。
22 说谎言的嘴，为耶和华所憎恶。行事诚实的，为他所喜悦。23 通达人隐藏知识。愚昧人的心，彰显愚昧。24 殷勤人的手必掌权。懒惰的人必服苦。25 人心忧虑，屈而不伸。一句良言，使心欢乐
26 义人引导他的邻舍。恶人的道，叫人失迷。

4. Which virtuous qualities in Proverbs chapter 19 should we imitate? (Prov. 19:11, 17, 20, 23) Which bad qualities should we remove from our lives? (Prov. 19:2-3, 9, 15, 26)
|
Prov. 19[11] A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
[17] He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done.
[20] Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.
[23] The fear of the Lord leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
Prov. 19[2] It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way. [3] A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord.
[9] A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish.
[15] Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless man goes hungry.
[26] He who robs his father and drives out his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.

11 人有见识，就不轻易发怒。宽恕人的过失，便是自己的荣耀。
20 你要听劝教，受训诲，使你终久有智慧。
23 敬畏耶和华的，得着生命。他必恒久知足，不遭祸患。
2 心无知识的，乃为不善。脚步急快的难免犯罪。3 人的愚昧，倾败他的道。他的心也抱怨耶和华。
9 作假见证的，不免受罚。吐出谎言的，也必灭亡。
15 懒惰使人沉睡。懈怠的人，必受饥饿。
26 虐待父亲，撵出母亲的，是贻羞致辱之子。

5. What four kinds of people are listed in Proverbs 30:11-14? What should our relationship be with such people?
|
Prov. 30[11] "There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers; [12] those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth; [13] those whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful; [14] those whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are set with knives to devour the poor from the earth, the needy from among mankind.
|
|
11 有一宗人，咒诅父亲，不给母亲祝福。12 有一宗人，自以为清洁，却没有洗去自己的污秽。13 有一宗人，眼目何其高傲，眼皮也是高举。14 有一宗人，牙如剑，齿如刀
要吞灭地上的困苦人，和世间的穷乏人。
|
6. What are the different consequences for those who accept correction and for those who reject it? (Prov. 13:13-18)
|
Prov. 13[13] He who scorns instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command is rewarded. [14] The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death. [15] Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.* [16] Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly. [17] A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy brings healing. [18] He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
|

13 藐视训言的，自取灭亡。敬畏诫命的，必得善报。14 智慧人的法则，（或作指教）是生命的泉源，可以使人离开死亡的网罗。15 美好的聪明，使人蒙恩。奸诈人的道路，崎岖难行。16 凡通达人都凭知识行事。愚昧人张扬自己的愚昧。
17 奸恶的使者，必陷在祸患里。忠信的使臣，乃医人的良药。
18 弃绝管教的，必致贫受辱。领受责备的，必得尊荣。
