箴言

第2章

1 爾小子、宜受我教、以此默識乎於心。

2 傾爾聽道、專心學理、

3 大聲而呼、亟求明哲、欲得智慧、

4 索之若金、尋之若寶、

5 夫如是、則耶和華上帝、所當寅畏、可得而知矣。

6 耶和華賜人以智慧、畀人以明哲。

7 錫嘏善士、護衛義人、

8 秉公義之理、保敬虔之士、

9 爾旣求智、則百善由此而知、仁義由此而明。

10 若大道之洽於心、快於意、

11 如是必得護衛、

12 免爲惡人忤逆者所誘、

13 彼離正道、行於幽暗、

14 喜於作惡、悅於爲不善、

15 所行邪曲、所爲橫逆。

16 淫婦善媚、爾旣守道、免爲所惑、

17 彼棄夫子之道、背上帝之約、

18 人造其家、若履死域、若歸陰府。

19 凡詣之者、不得復歸、不獲生道。

20 爾當行善人之途、守義人之路、

21 義者得士、恒居弗替、

22 惡者見絕、踪跡泯滅。

Proverbs

Chapter 2

1 My son,1121 if518 you will receive3947 my words,561 and hide6845 my commandments4687 with you;

2 So that you incline7181 your ear241 to wisdom,2451 and apply5186 your heart3820 to understanding;8394

3 Yes,3588 if518 you cry7121 after knowledge,998 and lift5414 up your voice6963 for understanding;8394

4 If518 you seek1245 her as silver,3701 and search2664 for her as for hid4301 treasures;4301

5 Then227 shall you understand995 the fear3374 of the LORD,3068 and find4672 the knowledge1847 of God.430

6 For the LORD3068 gives5414 wisdom:2451 out of his mouth6310 comes knowledge1847 and understanding.8394

7 He lays6845 up sound8454 wisdom8454 for the righteous:3477 he is a buckler4043 to them that walk1980 uprightly.8537

8 He keeps5341 the paths734 of judgment,4941 and preserves8104 the way1870 of his saints.2623

9 Then227 shall you understand995 righteousness,6664 and judgment,4941 and equity;4339 yes, every3605 good2896 path.4570

10 When3588 wisdom2451 enters935 into your heart,3820 and knowledge1847 is pleasant5276 to your soul;5315

11 Discretion4209 shall preserve8104 you, understanding8394 shall keep5341 you:

12 To deliver5337 you from the way1870 of the evil7451 man,376 from the man that speaks1696 fraudulent8419 things;

13 Who leave5800 the paths734 of uprightness,3476 to walk3212 in the ways1870 of darkness;2822

14 Who rejoice8056 to do6213 evil,7451 and delight1523 in the frowardness8419 of the wicked;7451

15 Whose834 ways734 are crooked,6141 and they fraudulent3868 in their paths:4570

16 To deliver5337 you from the strange2114 woman,802 even from the stranger5237 which flatters2505 with her words;561

17 Which forsakes5800 the guide441 of her youth,5271 and forgets7913 the covenant1285 of her God.430

18 For her house1004 inclines7743 to death,4194 and her paths4570 to the dead.7496

19 None3808 that go935 to her return7725 again,7725 neither take5381 they hold5381 of the paths734 of life.2416

20 That you may walk3212 in the way1870 of good2896 men, and keep8104 the paths734 of the righteous.6662

21 For the upright3477 shall dwell7931 in the land,776 and the perfect8549 shall remain3498 in it.

22 But the wicked7563 shall be cut3772 off from the earth,776 and the transgressors898 shall be rooted5255 out of it.
