ProverbsChapter 27 |
|
1 BOAST not for tomorrow; for you know not what a day may bring forth. |
|
2 Let a stranger praise you, and not your own mouth; another, and not your own lips. |
|
3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both. |
|
4 Wrath is cruel and anger is outrageous; but who can stand before envy? |
|
5 Open rebuke is better than deceitful friendship. |
|
6 Better are the wounds of a friend than the kisses of an enemy. |
|
7 A person who is full loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry person even a bitter thing is sweet. |
|
8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest, so is a man who is moved from his place. |
|
9 As oil and perfume rejoice the heart, so does the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. |
|
10 Your own friend and your father's friend forsake not; neither go into your brother's house in the day of your calamity; for better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far off. |
|
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, and remove from me the reproach of those who reproach me. |
|
12 A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself; but the fools pass on and suffer loss. |
|
13 He who is surety for a stranger, his cloak will be taken away from him and held in pledge for the stranger. |
|
14 He who blesses his friend with a flattering loud voice is not different from him who curses. |
|
15 Like a continual dripping on a rainy day, so is a quarrelsome woman. |
|
16 The north wind is severe, but it is called the right wind. |
|
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man enlightens the face of his friend. |
|
18 He who guards his fig tree shall eat its fruit; and he who is careful of his master shall be honored. |
|
19 As faces do not resemble faces, so hearts do not resemble hearts. |
|
20 Sheol and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. |
|
21 As the refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, so is a man tested by the mouth of those who praise him. The heart of the wicked desires evil, and the heart of the pious desires knowledge. |
|
22 Though you should beat a fool in the midst of an assembly, you will not do him any good, nor will you cause his foolishness to depart from him. |
|
23 When you are feeding the sheep, know their faces and set your mind on the flock. |
|
24 Possessions are not for ever; nor can riches be handed down from one generation to another. |
|
25 The grass springs up, the tender growth shows itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered. |
|
26 The lambs are for your clothing and the kids are for your sustenance; |
|
27 And the goats' milk is for your food and for the food of your household. |
箴言第27章 |
|
1 今日之事，尚不及知，明日之事，勿自誇詡。 |
|
2 人揄揚爾則可，自善其善則非所宜。 |
|
3 石沙甚重，愚人之怒，殆有甚焉。 |
|
4 人之憤怒酷烈，勢若行潦，人懷嫉妒，誰能禦之。 |
|
5 愛人之心，藏諸衷曲，不如責人以善，直言無隱。 |
|
6 仇讎雖與我接吻，亦知其偽，友朋雖出言傷予，益見其直。 |
|
7 人而果腹，雖蜂房亦有所厭，人而饑餓，雖苦物亦以爲甘。 |
|
8 人遊遠方，如鳥離巢。 |
|
9 馨香悅心，同於良朋之相勸。 |
|
10 父之良朋，己之密友，爾與之善，相愛靡已，則遘難之時，毋庸詣兄弟之室，蓋兄弟遠離，不如鄰里在側。 |
|
11 爾小子，宜學智慧，致悅我心，有人毁予，以此答之。 |
|
12 智者先機以避害，愚人前往而遭刑。 |
|
13 爲外人異族作中保，而不能償，則必取其衣爲質。 |
|
14 晨興，不讚其友而過實，人以爲誹之。 |
|
15 妻頑譬彼陰雨，屋宇恒漏。 |
|
16 欲使之不嚚，如使風不吹，若手握香膏，欲芬芳之不聞。 |
|
17 以鐵治鐵，交相磨礪，益友亦若是。 |
|
18 植無花果樹，可食其實，人事其主，必蒙賞賚。 |
|
19 人鑑於水，形容維肖，以己心度人心者亦若是。 |
|
20 陰司暗府無盈日，貪欲無厭者亦若是。 |
|
21 洪爐足以煉金銀，頌美足以覘人心。 |
|
22 扑責愚人，如擣麥於臼，亦不能夫其愚， |
|
23 爾之牛羊，牧養必勸。 |
|
24 蓋貸財不能永存，冠冕不能世襲。 |
|
25 百草萌蘖，菜蔬叢生，爲爾斂藏。 |
|
26 爾其勤牧羣羊，剪羔羊之毛，可以製衣，售牡羊之價，可以購田， |
|
27 牝羊出乳，供爾僕婢之食，綽然有餘。 |
