| 箴言-Proverbs 第 18 章 |
| 18:1 | 与众寡合的，寻求自己的心愿，并恼恨一切真智慧。 He who separates himself seeks his own desire And rages against all sound wisdom. |
| 18:2 | 愚昧人不喜爱聪明，只喜爱显露自己的心意。 A fool has no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself. |
| 18:3 | 恶人来，藐视也来；羞耻到，辱骂同到。 When the wicked man comes, contempt also comes; And with dishonor comes reproach. |
| 18:4 | 人口中的言语乃是深水，又是涌流的河水，智慧的泉源。 The words of a man's mouth are deep waters, A gushing stream, a fountain of wisdom. |
| 18:5 | 瞻徇恶人的情面，审判时屈枉义人，都为不善。 To respect the person of the wicked man is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous man in judgment. |
| 18:6 | 愚昧人的嘴带来争端，他的口招惹鞭打。 A fool's lips bring strife, And his mouth invites blows. |
| 18:7 | 愚昧人的口自取败坏，他的嘴是他生命的网罗。 A fool's mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul. |
| 18:8 | 传闲话之人的言语如同美食，进入人的深处。 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，与毁坏人的是弟兄。 He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who is a destroyer. |
| 18:10 | 耶和华的名是坚固楼；义人奔入，便得安稳。 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous man runs into it and is safe. |
| 18:11 | 富足人的财物是他的坚固城，在他想像中犹如高墙。 The rich man's substance is his strong city And like a high wall in his own imagination. |
| 18:12 | 败坏之先，人心高傲；尊荣以前，必有谦卑。 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But before honor goes humility. |
| 18:13 | 不先听完就回答的，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，灵能支持；灵若忧伤，谁能承当？ The spirit of a man can sustain his sickness, But a broken spirit who can bear? |
| 18:15 | 聪明人的心得着知识，智慧人的耳寻求知识。 The heart of one who has understanding acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. |
| 18:16 | 人的礼物为他开路，引他到尊大的人面前。 A man's gift makes room for him And brings him before great men. |
| 18:17 | 先诉情由的似乎有理，等他的邻舍来到，就察明实情。 The first to plead his case seems just, Until his neighbor comes and cross-examines him. |
| 18:18 | 掣签能止息争竞，也能在强者之间下决断。 The lot causes contentions to cease And decides between the mighty. |
| 18:19 | 弟兄被冒犯，挽回他比取坚固城还难；这样的争竞如同城堡的门闩。 A brother offended is harder to be gained than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle. |
| 18:20 | 人口中所结的果子，必充满肚腹；他嘴里所出的，必使他饱足。 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 | 生死在舌头的权下，喜爱它的，必吃它所结的果子。 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. |
| 18:22 | 得着妻子的，是得着好处，也是蒙了耶和华的恩惠。 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from Jehovah. |
| 18:23 | 贫穷人说哀求的话；富足人厉声以对。 The poor man utters supplications, But the rich man answers roughly. |
| 18:24 | 滥交朋友的，自取败坏；但有一朋友比弟兄更亲密。 A man of many friends comes to destruction, But there is a true friend that sticks closer than a brother. |
