Proverbs

Chapter 16

1 The preparations4633 of the heart3820 in man,120 and the answer4617 of the tongue,3956 is from the LORD.3068

2 All3605 the ways1870 of a man376 are clean2134 in his own eyes;5869 but the LORD3068 weighs8505 the spirits.7307

3 Commit1556 your works4639 to the LORD,3068 and your thoughts4284 shall be established.3559

4 The LORD3068 has made6466 all3605 things for himself:4617 yes,1571 even1571 the wicked7563 for the day3117 of evil.7451

5 Every3605 one that is proud1362 in heart3820 is an abomination8441 to the LORD:3068 though hand3027 join in hand,3027 he shall not be unpunished.5352

6 By mercy2617 and truth571 iniquity5771 is purged:3722 and by the fear3374 of the LORD3068 men depart5493 from evil.7451

7 When a man's376 ways1870 please7521 the LORD,3068 he makes even1571 his enemies341 to be at peace7999 with him.

8 Better2896 is a little4592 with righteousness6666 than great7230 revenues8393 without3808 right.4941

9 A man's120 heart3820 devises2803 his way:1870 but the LORD3068 directs3559 his steps.6806

10 A divine7081 sentence7081 is in the lips8193 of the king:4428 his mouth6310 transgresses4603 not in judgment.4941

11 A just4941 weight6425 and balance3976 are the LORD's:3068 all3605 the weights68 of the bag3599 are his work.4639

12 It is an abomination8441 to kings4428 to commit6213 wickedness:7562 for the throne3678 is established3559 by righteousness.6666

13 Righteous6664 lips8193 are the delight7522 of kings;4428 and they love157 him that speaks1696 right.3477

14 The wrath2534 of a king4428 is as messengers4397 of death:4194 but a wise2450 man376 will pacify3722 it.

15 In the light216 of the king's4428 countenance6440 is life;2416 and his favor7522 is as a cloud5645 of the latter4456 rain.4456

16 How4100 much better2896 is it to get7069 wisdom2451 than gold!2742 and to get7069 understanding998 rather to be chosen977 than silver!3701

17 The highway4546 of the upright3477 is to depart5493 from evil:7451 he that keeps5341 his way1870 preserves8104 his soul.5315

18 Pride1347 goes before6440 destruction,7667 and an haughty1363 spirit7307 before6440 a fall.3783

19 Better2896 it is to be of an humble8213 spirit7307 with the lowly,6041 than4480 to divide2505 the spoil7998 with the proud.1343

20 He that handles5921 a matter1697 wisely7919 shall find4672 good:2896 and whoever trusts982 in the LORD,3068 happy835 is he.

21 The wise2450 in heart3820 shall be called7121 prudent:995 and the sweetness4986 of the lips8193 increases3254 learning.3948

22 Understanding7922 is a wellspring4726 of life2416 to him that has1167 it: but the instruction4148 of fools191 is folly.200

23 The heart3820 of the wise2450 teaches7919 his mouth,6310 and adds3254 learning3948 to his lips.8193

24 Pleasant5278 words561 are as an honeycomb,6688 1706 sweet4966 to the soul,5315 and health4832 to the bones.6106

25 There is a way1870 that seems6440 right3477 to a man,376 but the end319 thereof are the ways1870 of death.4194

26 He that labors6001 labors5998 for himself; for his mouth6310 craves404 it of him.

27 An ungodly1100 man376 digs3738 up evil:7451 and in his lips8193 there is as a burning6867 fire.784

28 A fraudulent8419 man376 sows7971 strife:4066 and a whisperer5372 separates6504 chief441 friends.441

29 A violent2555 man376 entices6601 his neighbor,7453 and leads3212 him into the way1870 that is not good.2896

30 He shuts6095 his eyes5869 to devise2803 fraudulent8419 things: moving7169 his lips8193 he brings3615 evil7451 to pass.3615

31 The hoary7872 head is a crown5850 of glory,8597 if it be found4672 in the way1870 of righteousness.6666

32 He that is slow750 to anger639 is better2896 than4480 the mighty;1368 and he that rules4910 his spirit7307 than he that takes3920 a city.5892

33 The lot1486 is cast2904 into the lap;2436 but the whole3605 disposing4941 thereof is of the LORD.3068

箴言

第16章

1 心中的謀算在人裏頭[preparations of the heart in man],舌頭的應對由於耶和華。

2 人一切所行的,在自己眼中看為清潔;唯有耶和華衡量心靈[spirits]

3 你所作的,要交託耶和華,你所謀的,就必成立。

4 耶和華所造的,各為己[for himself]用;就是惡人也為禍患的日子所造。

5 凡心裏驕傲的,為耶和華所憎惡;雖然連手,他必不免受罰。

6 因憐憫誠實,罪孽得贖;敬畏耶和華的,遠離惡事。

7 人所行的,若蒙耶和華喜悅,耶和華也使他的仇敵與他和好。

8 少有財利,行事公義,勝過多有財利,行事不正[Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right]

9 人心籌算自己的道路;唯耶和華指引他的腳步。

10 王的嘴中有神語;審判之時,他的口不致差錯[transgresseth not]

11 公道的天平和秤都屬耶和華;[bag]中一切法碼都為他所定。

12 作惡,為王所憎惡,因國位是靠公義堅立。

13 公義的嘴為王所喜悅;說正確[right]話的,為王所喜愛。

14 王的震怒如殺人的使者;但智慧人能止息王怒。

15 王的臉光使人有生命;王的恩典好像春雲時雨。

16 得智慧,勝過得金子。選聰明勝於[than]選銀子。

17 正直人的道是遠離惡事;謹守己路的,是保全性命。

18 驕傲在敗壞以先;狂傲的心靈[haughty spirit]在跌倒之前。

19 [spirit]裏謙卑與低微人[lowly]來往,勝過[Better]將擄物與驕傲人同分。

20 辦事精明的[He that handleth a matter wisely],必得好處;倚靠耶和華的,便為有福。

21 心中有智慧,必稱為通達人;嘴中的甜言,加增人的學問。

22 人有智慧就有生命的泉源;愚昧人的訓誨[instruction][but]是愚昧。

23 智慧人的心教訓他的口,又使他的嘴增長學問。

24 良言如同蜂房,使心覺甘甜,使骨得醫治。

25 有一條路,人以為正,至終[but]為死亡之路。

26 勞力人的胃口使他勞力,因為他的口腹催逼他。

27 不敬虔的人[ungodly]圖謀奸惡,嘴上彷彿有燒焦的火。

28 乖僻人播散紛爭;竊竊私語的[whisperer],離間密友。

29 強暴人誘惑鄰居,領他走不善之道。

30 眼目緊合的,圖謀乖僻;移動[moving]嘴唇的,成就邪惡。

31 白髮是榮耀的冠冕,在公義的道上必能得著。

32 不輕易發怒的,勝過勇士;治服己[spirit]的,勝於[than]取城。

33 籤放在懷裏;[but]定事[whole]由耶和華。
