My son; eat thou honey; because it is good; and the honeyb; which is sweet to thy taste:
24:14你心得了智慧,也必觉的如此。你若找着,至终必有善报。你的指望,也不至断绝。
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it; then there shall be a reward; and thy expectation shall not be cut off。
24:15你这恶人,不要埋伏攻击义人的家。不要毁坏他安居之所。
Lay not wait; O wicked man; against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
24:16因为义人虽七次跌倒,仍必兴起。恶人却被祸患倾倒。
For a just man falleth seven times; and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief。
24:17你仇敌跌倒,你不要欢喜。他倾倒,你心不要快乐。
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth; and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
24:18恐怕耶和华看见就不喜悦,将怒气从仇敌身上转过来。
Lest the LORD see it; and it displease him; and he turn away his wrath from him。
24:19不要为作恶的心怀不平。也不要嫉妒恶人。
Fret not thyself because of evil men; neither be thou envious at the wicked;
24:20因为恶人终不得善报。恶人的灯也必熄灭。
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out。
24:21我儿,你要敬畏耶和华与君王。不要与反覆无常的人结交。
My son; fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
24:22因为他们的灾难,必忽然而起。耶和华与君王所施行的毁灭,谁能知道呢。
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
24:23以下也是智慧人的箴言。审判时看人的情面,是不好的。
These things also belong to the wise。 It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment。
24:24对恶人说,你是义人的,这人万民必咒诅,列邦必憎恶。
He that saith unto the wicked; Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse; nations shall abhor him:
24:25责备恶人的,必得喜悦。美好的福,也必临到他。
But to them that rebuke him shall be delight; and a good blessing shall e upon them。
24:26应对正直的,犹如与人亲嘴。
Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer。
24:27你要在外头豫备工料,在田间办理整齐,然后建造房屋。
Prepare thy work without; and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house。
24:28不可无故作见证,陷害邻舍。也不可用嘴欺骗人。
Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips。
24:29不可说,人怎样对待我,我也怎样待他,我必照他所行的报复他。
Say not; I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work。
24:30我经过懒惰人的田地,无知人的葡萄园。
I went by the field of the slothful; and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
24:31荆棘长满了地皮,刺草遮盖了田面,石墙也坍塌了。
And; lo; it was all grown over with thorns; and nettles had covered the face thereof; and the stone wall thereof was broken down。
24:32我看见就留心思想,我看着就领了训诲。
Then I saw; and considered it well: I looked upon it; and received instruction。
24:33再睡片时,打盹片时,抱着手躺卧片时,
Yet a little sleep; a little slumber; a little folding of the hands to sleep:
24:34你的贫穷,就必如强盗速来,你的缺乏,彷佛拿兵器的人来到。
So shall thy poverty e as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man。

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter。

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king; and stand not in the place of great men:
25:7宁可有人说,请你上来,强如在你觐见的王子面前,叫你退下。
For better it is that it be said unto thee; e up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen。
25:8不要冒失出去与人争竞,免得至终被他羞辱,你就不知道怎样行了。
Go not forth hastily to strive; lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof; when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame。
25:9你与邻舍争讼,要与他ㄧ人辩论。不可泄漏人的密事。
Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame; and thine infamy turn not away。
25:11一句话说得合宜,就如金苹果在银网子里。
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver。

As an earring of gold; and an ornament of fine gold; so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear。
25:13忠信的使者,叫差他的人心里舒畅,就如在收割时,有冰雪的凉气。
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest; so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters。
25:14空夸赠送礼物的,好像无雨的风云。
Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain。
25:15恒常忍耐,可以劝动君王。柔和的舌头,能折断骨头。
By long forbearing is a prince persuaded; and a soft tongue breaketh the bone。

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee; lest thou be filled therewith; and vomit it。
25:17你的脚要少进邻舍的家,恐怕他厌烦你,恨恶你。
Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee; and so hate thee。
25:18作假见证陷害邻舍的,就是大槌,是利刀,是快箭。
A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul; and a sword; and a sharp arrow。
25:19患难时倚靠不忠诚的人,好像破坏的牙,错骨缝的脚。
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth; and a foot out of joint。
25:20对伤心的人唱歌,就如冷天脱衣服,又如硷上倒醋。
As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather; and as vinegar upon nitre; so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart。
25:21你的仇敌,若饿了就给他饭吃。若渴了就给他水喝。
If thine enemy be hungry; give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty; give him water to drink:
25:22因为你这样行,就是把炭火堆在他的头上。耶和华也必赏赐你。
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head; and the LORD shall reward thee。
25:23北风生雨,谗谤人的舌头也生怒容。
The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue。
25:24宁可住在房顶的角上,不在宽阔的房屋与争吵的妇人同住。
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop; than with a brawling woman and in a wide house。
25:25有好消息从远方来,就如拿凉水给口渴的人喝。
As cold waters to a thirsty soul; so is good news from a far country。
25:26义人在恶人面前退缩,好像Y1浑之泉,弄浊之井。
A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain; and a corrupt spring。
25:27吃蜜过多,是不好的。考究自己的荣耀,也是可厌的。
It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory。
25:28人不制服自己的心,好像毁坏的城邑,没有墙垣。
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down; and without walls。
