proverbs 箴言20(在线收听) |
20Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise. 2A king's wrath is like the roar of a lion; he who angers him forfeits his life. 3It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. 4A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing. 5The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. 6Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find? 7The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him. 8When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes. 9Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"? 10Differing weights and differing measures- the Lord detests them both. 11Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right. 12Ears that hear and eyes that see- the Lord has made them both. 13Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare. 14"It's no good, it's no good!" says the buyer; then off he goes and boasts about his purchase. 15Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. 16Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman. 17Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man, but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel. 18Make plans by seeking advice; if you wage war, obtain guidance. 19A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much. 20If a man curses his father or mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness. 21An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning will not be blessed at the end. 22Do not say, "I'll pay you back for this wrong!" Wait for the Lord , and he will deliver you. 23The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him. 24A man's steps are directed by the Lord . How then can anyone understand his own way? 25It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows. 26A wise king winnows out the wicked; he drives the threshing wheel over them. 27The lamp of the Lord searches the spirit of a man ; it searches out his inmost being. 28Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure. 29The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old. 30Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. |
