来自{publisher｝1Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting[1] with strife. (箴15:17)2A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers. (撒下16:4; 箴10:5; 箴17:21; 箴17:25; 箴19:26)3The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts. (代上29:17; 诗26:2; 箴27:21; 耶17:10; 玛3:3)4An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.5Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished. (伯31:29; 箴14:31; 箴16:5; 箴24:17; 俄1:12; 太25:40; 太25:45)6Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers. (诗127:3; 诗128:6; 箴16:31)7Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince. (箴6:17; 箴19:10; 箴26:1)8A bribe is like a magic[2] stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers. (出23:8; 箴17:23; 箴18:16; 箴19:6; 箴21:14; 赛1:23; 摩5:12)9Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. (箴10:12; 箴16:28)10A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.11An evil man seeks only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him. (王上2:29)12Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly. (撒下17:8; 箴27:3; 何13:8)13If anyone returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house. (撒下12:10; 诗35:12; 诗109:4; 箴20:22; 太5:39)14The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out. (箴20:3; 箴25:8)15He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord. (出23:7; 伯34:17; 诗94:21; 箴17:26; 箴18:5; 箴24:24; 赛5:23)16Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense? (箴23:23)17A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (得1:16; 伯6:14; 箴18:24; 箴27:10)18One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.19Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction. (箴11:2; 箴29:23)20A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity. (箴11:20)21He who sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy. (箴10:1; 箴19:13)22A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (诗22:15; 箴12:25; 箴15:13)23The wicked accepts a bribe in secret[3] to pervert the ways of justice. (箴17:8; 弥3:11; 弥7:3)24The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth. (申30:11; 箴14:6; 箴15:14; 传2:14)25A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him. (箴10:1; 箴17:21; 箴23:25)26To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness. (箴17:15)27Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. (箴10:19; 雅1:19)28Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. (伯13:5)
