Proverbs 1 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king
of Israel;
² To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive
the words of understanding;
³ To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice,
and judgment, and equity;
⁴ To give subtilty to the simple, to the young
man knowledge and discretion.
⁵ A wise man will hear, and will increase
learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
⁶ To understand a proverb, and the
interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
⁹ For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
¹¹ If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
¹² Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
¹³ We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
¹⁴ Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
¹⁵ My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
¹⁷ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
¹⁸ And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
¹⁹ So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
²⁰ Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
²¹ She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
²³ Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
²⁷ When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
²⁹ For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
³⁰ They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
³¹ Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
³² For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
³³ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
(CKJVGT)箴 1 (CKJVGT)

¹ 以色列王大衛兒子所羅門的箴言：
² 要使人曉得智慧和訓誨，明白通達的言語，
³ 使人領受智慧、仁義、公平、公正的訓誨，
⁴ 使愚人靈明，使少年人有知識和謀略，
⁵ 使智慧人聽見，增長學問，使聰明人得著智謀，
⁶ 使人明白箴言和講解，懂得智慧人的言詞和謎語。
⁷ 敬畏 耶和華是知識的開端；愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。
⁸ 我兒，要聽你父親的訓誨，不可離棄你母親的法則；
⁹ 因為這要作你頭上的妝飾，你項上的鏈子。
¹⁰ 我兒，罪人若引誘你，你不可隨從。
¹¹ 他們若說：你與我們同去，我們要埋伏流人之血，要蹲伏害無罪之人；
¹² 我們好像墳墓，把他們活活吞下；他們如同下坑的人，被我們全都吞了；
¹³ 我們必得各樣寶物，將所擄來的，裝滿房屋；
¹⁴ 你與我們大家同分，我們共用一個錢袋；
¹⁵ 我兒，不要與他們同行一道，禁止你腳走他們的路。
¹⁶ 因為，他們的腳奔跑行惡；他們急速流人的血，
¹⁷ 好像飛鳥，網羅設在眼前仍不躲避。
¹⁸ 這些人埋伏，是為自流己血；蹲伏，是為自害己命。
¹⁹ 凡貪戀財利的，所行之路都是如此；這貪戀之心乃奪去得財者之命。
²⁰ 智慧在外頭呼喊，在街道上發聲，
²¹ 她在熱鬧街頭、在城門口喊叫；在城中發出言語，說：
²² 你們愚蒙人喜愛愚蒙，到幾時呢？褻慢人喜歡褻慢，愚頑人恨惡知識，要到幾時呢？
²³ 你們當因我的責備回轉；看哪，我要將我的靈澆灌你們，將我的話指示你們。
²⁴ 因為我呼喚，你們不肯聽從；我伸手，無人理會；
²⁵ 反輕棄我一切的勸戒，不肯受我的責備。
²⁶ 你們遭災難，我也必發笑；驚恐臨到你們，我必嗤笑；
²⁷ 驚恐臨到你們，好像荒場；災難來到，如同旋風；急難痛苦臨到你們身上。
²⁸ 那時，他們必呼求我，我卻不回答；懇切地尋找我，卻尋不見。
²⁹ 因為，他們恨惡知識，不喜愛敬畏 耶和華；
³⁰ 不聽我的勸戒；藐視我一切的責備。
³¹ 所以他們必吃自結的果子，充滿自設的計謀。
³² 愚蒙人背道，必殺己身；愚頑人亨通，必害己命。
³³ 唯有聽從我的，必安然居住，得享安靜，不怕災禍。

¹ My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and
hide my commandments with thee;
² So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,
and apply thine heart to understanding;
³ Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and
liftest up thy voice for understanding;
⁴ If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest
for her as for hid treasures;
⁵ Then shalt thou understand the fear of the
LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
⁶ For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth
cometh knowledge and understanding.
⁷ He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
⁸ He keepeth the paths of judgment, and
preserveth the way of his saints.
⁹ Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and
judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
¹⁰ When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and
knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
¹¹ Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding
shall keep thee:
¹² To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,
from the man that speaketh froward things;
¹³ Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk
in the ways of darkness;
¹⁴ Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the
frowardness of the wicked;
¹⁵ Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in
their paths:
¹⁶ To deliver thee from the strange woman, even
from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
¹⁷ Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and
forgetteth the covenant of her God.
¹⁸ For her house inclineth unto death, and her
paths unto the dead.
¹⁹ None that go unto her return again, neither
take they hold of the paths of life.
²⁰ That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,
and keep the paths of the righteous.
²¹ For the upright shall dwell in the land, and
the perfect shall remain in it.
²² But the wicked shall be cut off from the
earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
箴 2 (CKJVGT)
¹ 我兒，你若領受我的言語，存記我的命令，
² 側耳聽智慧，專心求聰明，
³ 呼求知識，揚聲求聰明，
⁴ 尋找她，如尋找銀子，搜求她，如搜求隱藏的珍寶，
⁵ 你就明白敬畏 耶和華，得以認識 神。
⁶ 因為， 耶和華賜人智慧；知識和聰明都由他口而出。
⁷ 他給義人存留真智慧；他乃行事正直之人的擋牌。
⁸ 他要保守公平人的路，護庇他聖民的道。
⁹ 你也必明白公義、公平、公正、一切的善道。
¹⁰ 智慧必入你心；你的魂要以知識為美。
¹¹ 謀略必護衛你；聰明必保守你，
¹² 要救你脫離惡人的道，脫離說乖謬話的人。
¹³ 那等人捨棄正直的路，行走黑暗的道，
¹⁴ 歡喜作惡，喜愛惡人的乖僻，
¹⁵ 在他們的道中彎曲，在他們的路上偏僻。
¹⁶ 智慧要救你脫離外女，就是那油嘴滑舌的外人。
¹⁷ 她離棄幼年的引導，忘了 神的盟約。
¹⁸ 她的家陷入死地；她的路偏向死人。
¹⁹ 凡到她那裏去的，不得轉回，也得不著生命的路。
²⁰ 智慧必使你行善人的道，守義人的路。
²¹ 正直人必在世上居住；完全人必在地上存留。
²² 唯有惡人必然剪除；犯法的，必然拔出。
