6 不可離棄智慧，智慧就護衛你；要愛她，她就保守你。
|
|
7 Wisdom2451 is the principal thing;7225 therefore get7069 wisdom:2451 and with all3605 thy getting7075 get7069 understanding.998
|
7 智慧為首；所以，要得智慧。用你一切所得的去換聰明［with all thy getting get understanding］。

11 I have taught3384 thee in the way1870 of wisdom;2451 I have led1869 thee in right3476 paths.4570
|
11 我已指教你走智慧的道，引導你行正確［right］的路。
|
|
12 When thou goest,1980 thy steps6806 shall not3808 be straitened;3334 and when518 thou runnest,7323 thou shalt not3808 stumble.3782
|
12 你行走，腳步必不致狹窄；你奔跑，也不致跌倒。
|
|
13 Take fast hold2388 of instruction;4148 let her not408 go:7503 keep5341 her; for3588 she1931 is thy life.2416
|
13 要持定訓誨，不可放鬆；必當謹守，因為她是你的生命。
|
|
14 Enter935 not408 into the path734 of the wicked,7563 and go833 not408 in the way1870 of evil7451 men.
|
14 不可行惡人的路；不要走壞人的道。
|
|
15 Avoid6544 it, pass5674 not408 by it, turn7847 from4480 5921 it, and pass away.5674
|
15 要躲避，不可經過；要轉身而去。
|
|
16 For3588 they sleep3462 not,3808 except518 3808 they have done mischief;7489 and their sleep8142 is taken away,1497 unless518 3808 they cause some to fall.3782
|
16 這等人若不行惡，不得睡覺；不使人跌倒，睡臥不安；
|
|
17 For3588 they eat3898 the bread3899 of wickedness,7562 and drink8354 the wine3196 of violence.2555
|
17 因為他們以奸惡吃餅，以強暴喝酒。
|
|
18 But the path734 of the just6662 is as the shining5051 light,216 that shineth215 more and more1980 unto5704 the perfect3559 day.3117
|
18 但義人的路好像照耀的光［shining light］，越照越明，直到完全之日［perfect day］。
|
|
19 The way1870 of the wicked7563 is as darkness:653 they know3045 not3808 at what4100 they stumble.3782
|
19 惡人的道好像幽暗，自己不知因甚麼跌倒。
|
|
20 My son,1121 attend7181 to my words;1697 incline5186 thine ear241 unto my sayings.561
|
20 我兒，要留心聽我的言詞，側耳聽我的話語，
|
|
21 Let them not408 depart3868 from thine eyes;4480 5869 keep8104 them in the midst8432 of thine heart.3824
|
21 都不可離你的眼目，要存記在你心中。
|
|
22 For3588 they1992 are life2416 unto those that find4672 them, and health4832 to all3605 their flesh.1320
|
22 因為得著它們［they］的，就得了生命，又得了醫全體的良藥。
