| 箴言-Proverbs 第 18 章 |
| 18:1 | 與眾寡合的，尋求自己的心願，並惱恨一切真智慧。 He who separates himself seeks his own desire And rages against all sound wisdom. |
| 18:2 | 愚昧人不喜愛聰明，隻喜愛顯露自己的心意。 A fool has no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself. |
| 18:3 | 惡人來，藐視也來；羞恥到，辱罵同到。 When the wicked man comes, contempt also comes; And with dishonor comes reproach. |
| 18:4 | 人口中的言語乃是深水，又是湧流的河水，智慧的泉源。 The words of a man's mouth are deep waters, A gushing stream, a fountain of wisdom. |
| 18:5 | 瞻徇惡人的情麵，審判時屈枉義人，都為不善。 To respect the person of the wicked man is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous man in judgment. |
| 18:6 | 愚昧人的嘴帶來爭端，他的口招惹鞭打。 A fool's lips bring strife, And his mouth invites blows. |
| 18:7 | 愚昧人的口自取敗壞，他的嘴是他生命的網羅。 A fool's mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul. |
| 18:8 | 傳閑話之人的言語如同美食，進入人的深處。 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body. |
| 18:9 | 作工懈怠的，與毀壞人的是弟兄。 He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who is a destroyer. |
| 18:10 | 耶和華的名是堅固樓；義人奔入，便得安穩。 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous man runs into it and is safe. |
| 18:11 | 富足人的財物是他的堅固城，在他想像中猶如高牆。 The rich man's substance is his strong city And like a high wall in his own imagination. |
| 18:12 | 敗壞之先，人心高傲；尊榮以前，必有謙卑。 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But before honor goes humility. |
| 18:13 | 不先聽完就回答的，便是他的愚妄和羞辱。 As for him who gives an answer before he hears, It is folly and shame. |
| 18:14 | 人有疾病，靈能支持；靈若憂傷，誰能承當？ The spirit of a man can sustain his sickness, But a broken spirit who can bear? |
| 18:15 | 聰明人的心得著知識，智慧人的耳尋求知識。 The heart of one who has understanding acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. |
| 18:16 | 人的禮物為他開路，引他到尊大的人麵前。 A man's gift makes room for him And brings him before great men. |
| 18:17 | 先訴情由的似乎有理，等他的鄰舍來到，就察明實情。 The first to plead his case seems just, Until his neighbor comes and cross-examines him. |
| 18:18 | 掣簽能止息爭競，也能在強者之間下決斷。 The lot causes contentions to cease And decides between the mighty. |
| 18:19 | 弟兄被冒犯，挽回他比取堅固城還難；這樣的爭競如同城堡的門閂。 A brother offended is harder to be gained than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle. |
| 18:20 | 人口中所結的果子，必充滿肚腹；他嘴裏所出的，必使他飽足。 With the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach will be satisfied; With the produce of his lips he will be satisfied. |
| 18:21 | 生死在舌頭的權下，喜愛它的，必吃它所結的果子。 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. |
| 18:22 | 得著妻子的，是得著好處，也是蒙了耶和華的恩惠。 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from Jehovah. |
| 18:23 | 貧窮人說哀求的話；富足人厲聲以對。 The poor man utters supplications, But the rich man answers roughly. |
| 18:24 | 濫交朋友的，自取敗壞；但有一朋友比弟兄更親密。 A man of many friends comes to destruction, But there is a true friend that sticks closer than a brother. |
