| 箴言第18章 | 
| 1 自是者縱己意、棄實學。 | 
| 2 愚者不志於道、時形其拙。 | 
| 3 作惡者流、人皆藐之、多行不義、祇取辱也。 | 
| 4 至言如淵泉、智慧若澄泓。 | 
| 5 聽訟毋袒惡、毋枉直。 | 
| 6 愚者動則起釁、出言以招禍。 | 
| 7 啟口而貽患。 | 
| 8 陰訐人非、人所樂聽、如食甘旨、飫其口腹。 | 
| 9 怠惰者與奢蕩者、無以異也。 | 
| 10 耶和華若鞏固之臺、善人登之、蒙其護衛。 | 
| 11 富人視財若鞏固之邑、高峻之垣。 | 
| 12 驕泰者敗亡繼之、謙遜者尊榮被之。 | 
| 13 言未聽而妄應、拙不藏而貽羞。 | 
| 14 身疾心猶安、心憂則難堪。 | 
| 15 智者心增明慧、耳聽至道。 | 
| 16 餽禮物、可以啟捷徑、可以見大人。 | 
| 17 先赴訴者、其理似直、有後至者、爾當詳察之。 | 
| 18 掣籤以息事、強者以之止鬬。 | 
| 19 弟犯兄長、欲復修和、較勝鞏固之城、折宮門之楗、猶爲難也。 | 
| 20 所言必結果、出乎口者反乎身。 | 
| 21 生死之機、在於出口、言必獲報。 | 
| 22 結婚姻納福祉、耶和華必錫純嘏。 | 
| 23 貧者求人、富者驕人。 | 
| 24 泛交衆人、必致損害、得一知己、愈於兄弟。 | 
| ProverbsChapter 18 | 
| 1 WHEN a man is inactive he imagines lust and mocks at good instruction. | 
| 2 A fool has no delight in wisdom, because his mind devises folly. | 
| 3 When the wicked reaches the depths of evil, then folly comes upon him, iniquity, disgrace, and shame. | 
| 4 The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters; and the fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook. | 
| 5 It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, nor to pervert justice against the righteous. | 
| 6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth brings him to death, | 
| 7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. | 
| 8 The words of a slothful man bring evil to him, and they cause him to go down into the inner chambers of Sheol. | 
| 9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him who is a destroyer. | 
| 10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous and the mighty run into it. | 
| 11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city; and his dwelling place is fenced by a strong wall. | 
| 12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty; and before honor is humility. | 
| 13 He who gives answer before he hears is a fool and a reviler. | 
| 14 The spirit of a man will endure his suffering; but a distressing spirit, who can bear? | 
| 15 The heart of the prudent acquires wisdom; and the ear of the wise listens to knowledge. | 
| 16 A man's gifts make room for him and bring him before great men. | 
| 17 A man is deemed innocent in his lawsuit; but when his neighbor comes he examines him. | 
| 18 Casting lots causes contentions to cease and decides between mighty men. | 
| 19 A brother helped by a brother is like a city helped by its fortifications; and his helpers are like the bars of a castle. | 
| 20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruits of his mouth; and with the fruits of his lips shall he be filled. | 
| 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those who love it shall eat the fruits thereof. | 
| 22 He who finds a good wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD. And he who puts out a good wife, puts out good from his house. | 
| 23 The poor speak humbly; but the rich talk of great things. | 
| 24 There are friends who are merely friends; and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. |
