箴言

第28章

1 惡者雖無追襲,而遁逃恐後,義者之膽,其大若獅。

2 國亂則主迭更,民良則邦永治。

3 以貧虐貧,若行潦忽決,盡淹所有。

4 違法者譽惡,守法者敵惡。

5 作惡之人,不明至道,崇事耶和華者,能悉萬理,

6 富而悖理,不如貧而善道。

7 守律法者,有智之子,從惡黨者,貽父之羞。

8 貸人以金,重權子母,以益其財者,所積之金,必爲濟貧之人所得。

9 不聽律法者卽祈於上,亦爲上帝所疾。

10 使義者迷途,必陷罪戾,爲善者則納福。

11 富人自視爲智,貧者明慧,必審其詳。

12 義人在位,萬事彰明,惡者秉鈞,庶民隱遯。

13 自匿其非,不得納福,任過而改,可獲矜憫,

14 恒畏耶和華者,可受綏祉,剛愎厥心,必有災害。

15 暴君虐貧民,若咆哮之獅,饑餓之熊。

16 無智之君,多行暴虐,能絶嗜欲,可得永生。

17 殺人者必有懼心,恐見執而逃,入墓乃已。

18 直躬而行者,可得拯救,所從邪曲者,猝然敗亡。

19 勸耕耘者,得果腹,從虛誕者,致貧乏。

20 誠愨之人,永膺多福,急圖富有,必召禍災。

21 偏視者不公,饋以一方之餅,因之枉法。

22 貪婪之人,惟圖富有,不知貧乏將至。

23 以善責人,終得恩寵,較諂諛尤多。

24 竊父母之財,自言無罪者,與盜無異。

25 人恃驕泰,多啟爭端,惟恃耶和華,無不亨通。

26 恃其能者愚昧,慎所行者得救。

27 濟貧人,則不致缺乏,佯爲不見者,多遭詛咒。

28 惡人居顯要,庶民隱遯,惡人敗亡,賢人乃出。

Proverbs

Chapter 28

1 The wicked7563 flee5127 when no369 man pursues:7291 but the righteous6662 are bold982 as a lion.3715

2 For the transgression6588 of a land776 many7227 are the princes8269 thereof: but by a man120 of understanding995 and knowledge3045 the state3651 thereof shall be prolonged.748

3 A poor7326 man1397 that oppresses6231 the poor1800 is like a sweeping5502 rain4306 which leaves no369 food.3899

4 They that forsake5800 the law8451 praise1984 the wicked:7563 but such as keep8104 the law8451 contend1624 with them.

5 Evil7451 men582 understand995 not judgment:4941 but they that seek1245 the LORD3068 understand995 all3605 things.

6 Better2896 is the poor1800 that walks1980 in his uprightness,8537 than he that is perverse6141 in his ways,1870 though he be rich.6223

7 Whoever keeps5341 the law8451 is a wise995 son:1121 but he that is a companion7462 of riotous2151 men shames3637 his father.1

8 He that by usury5392 and unjust8636 gain8636 increases7235 his substance,1952 he shall gather6908 it for him that will pity2603 the poor.1800

9 He that turns5493 away his ear241 from hearing8085 the law,8451 even1571 his prayer8605 shall be abomination.8441

10 Whoever causes the righteous3477 to go7686 astray7686 in an evil7451 way,1870 he shall fall5307 himself1931 into his own pit:7816 but the upright8549 shall have good2896 things in possession.

11 The rich6223 man376 is wise2450 in his own conceit;5869 but the poor1800 that has understanding995 searches2713 him out.

12 When righteous6662 men do rejoice,5970 there is great7227 glory:8597 but when the wicked7563 rise,6965 a man120 is hidden.2664

13 He that covers3680 his sins6588 shall not prosper:6743 but whoever confesses3034 and forsakes5800 them shall have mercy.7355

14 Happy835 is the man120 that fears6342 always:8548 but he that hardens7185 his heart3820 shall fall5307 into mischief.7451

15 As a roaring5098 lion,739 and a ranging8264 bear;1677 so is a wicked7563 ruler4910 over5921 the poor1800 people.5971

16 The prince5057 that wants2638 understanding8394 is also a great7227 oppressor:4642 but he that hates8130 covetousness1215 shall prolong748 his days.3117

17 A man that does violence6231 to the blood1818 of any person5315 shall flee5127 to the pit;953 let no408 man120 stay8551 him.

18 Whoever walks1980 uprightly8549 shall be saved:3467 but he that is perverse6140 in his ways1870 shall fall5307 at once.259

19 He that tills5647 his land127 shall have plenty7646 of bread:3899 but he that follows7291 after vain7386 persons shall have poverty7389 enough.7646

20 A faithful530 man376 shall abound7227 with blessings:1293 but he that makes haste213 to be rich6238 shall not be innocent.5352

21 To have respect5234 of persons6440 is not good:2896 for for a piece6595 of bread3899 that man1397 will transgress.6586

22 He that hastens926 to be rich1952 has an evil7451 eye,5869 and considers3045 not that poverty2639 shall come935 on him.

23 He that rebukes3198 a man120 afterwards310 shall find4672 more favor2580 than he that flatters2505 with the tongue.3956

24 Whoever robs1497 his father1 or his mother,517 and said,559 It is no369 transgression;6588 the same1931 is the companion2270 of a destroyer.7843

25 He that is of a proud7342 heart5315 stirs1624 up strife:4066 but he that puts his trust982 in the LORD3068 shall be made fat.1878

26 He that trusts982 in his own heart3820 is a fool:3684 but whoever walks1980 wisely,2451 he shall be delivered.4422

27 He that gives5414 to the poor7326 shall not lack:4270 but he that hides5956 his eyes5869 shall have many7227 a curse.3994

28 When the wicked7563 rise,6965 men120 hide5641 themselves: but when they perish,6 the righteous6662 increase.7235
