Proverb 3
[1] My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, [2] for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. [3] Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. [4] Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. [5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; [6] in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.* [7] Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. [8] This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. [9] Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; [10] then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. [11] My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, [12] because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father* the son he delights in. [13] Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, [14] for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. [15] She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. [16] Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. [17] Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. [18] She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed. [19] By wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; [20] by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew. [21] My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; [22] they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. [23] Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; [24] when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. [25] Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, [26] for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. [27] Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. [28] Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"-- when you now have it with you. [29] Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. [30] Do not accuse a man for no reason-- when he has done you no harm. [31] Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways, [32] for the Lord detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his confidence. [33] The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. [34] He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. [35] The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.
箴言第3章
1 我儿，不要忘记我的法则。（或作指教）你心要谨守我的诫命。2 因为他必将长久的日子，生命的年数，与平安，加给你。
3 不可使慈爱诚实离开你。要系在你颈项上，刻在你心版上。4 这样，你必在神和世人眼前蒙恩宠，有聪明。
6 在你一切所行的事上，都要认定他，他必指引你的路。
8 这便医治你的肚脐，滋润你的百骨。
10 这样，你的仓房，必充满有余，你的酒榨，有新酒盈溢。
14 因为得智慧胜过得银子，其利益强如精金。
15 比珍珠（或作红宝石）宝贵。你一切所喜爱的，都不足与比较。
16 他右手有长寿。左手有富贵。
17 他的道是安乐，他的路全是平安。
18 他与持守他的作生命树。持定他的俱各有福。
20 以知识使深渊裂开，使天空滴下甘露。
21 我儿，要谨守真智慧和谋略。不可使他离开你的眼目。
22 这样，他必作你的生命，颈项的美饰。
23 你就坦然行路，不至碰脚。
24 你躺下，必不惧怕。你躺卧，睡得香甜。
25 忽然来的惊恐，不要害怕。恶人遭毁灭，也不要恐惧。
27 你手若有行善的力量，不可推辞，就当向那应得的人施行。28 你那里若有现成的，不可对邻舍说，去吧，明天再来，我必给你。
29 你的邻舍，既在你附近安居，你不可设计害他。
30 人未曾加害与你，不可无故与他相争。
31 不可嫉妒强暴的人，也不可选择他所行的路。
34 他讥诮那好讥诮的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。
35 智慧人必承受尊荣。愚昧人高升也成为羞辱。 |
