Sprüche 18 | 聖經當代譯本修訂版
1 孤傲者獨善其身, 他惱恨一切真知。 2 愚人不喜歡悟性, 只喜歡發表意見。 3 邪惡與藐視同行, 無恥與羞辱為伴。 4 人口中的話如同深水, 智慧之泉像涓涓溪流。 5 袒護惡人、冤枉義人都為不善。 6 愚人說話引起紛爭, 他的口招來鞭打。 7 愚人的口自招滅亡, 他的嘴坑害他自己。 8 閒言碎語如同美食, 深入人的五臟六腑。 9 懶惰人與毀壞者臭味相投。 10 耶和華的名是堅固保障, 義人投奔其中就得安穩。 11 財富是富人的堅城, 在他幻想中是高牆。 12 驕傲是敗亡的前奏, 謙虛是尊榮的先鋒。 13 未聽先答的人, 自顯愚昧和羞辱。 14 人的心靈能忍受疾病, 誰能忍受破碎的心靈? 15 哲士的心得知識, 智者的耳求知識。 16 禮物為人開路, 領人晉見權貴。 17 先告狀的看似有理, 一經對質真相大白。 18 抽籤可以平息爭端, 調解強者間的糾紛。 19 與結怨的兄弟和解比攻城還難, 爭端難破,如堅城的門閂。 20 人因口中所說的話而飽足, 因嘴中所出的言語而滿足。 21 口舌能夠定生死, 多嘴多言食惡果。 22 得到妻子就是得到珍寶, 也是蒙了耶和華的恩惠。 23 窮人哀聲懇求, 富人惡言相向。 24 濫交友,自招損; 得知己,勝手足。

English Standard Version
1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment. 2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. 3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace. 4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook. 5 It is not good to be partial to* the wicked or to deprive the righteous of justice. 6 A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating. 7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul. 8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. 9 Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys. 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. 11 A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination. 12 Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. 13 If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. 14 A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? 15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. 16 A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great. 17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. 18 The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders. 19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle. 20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. 23 The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly. 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
