1詭詐的天平為耶和華所憎惡;公平的為他所喜悅。Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight.

2驕傲來,羞恥也來;謙遜人卻有智慧。When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom.

3正直人的純正必引導自己;奸詐人的乖僻必毀滅自己。The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the faithless destroys them.

4發怒的日子資財無益;惟有公義能救人脫離死亡。Riches are worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.

5完全人的義必指引他的路;但惡人必因自己的惡跌倒。The righteousness of the blameless directs their path, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.

6正直人的義必拯救自己;奸詐人必陷在自己的罪孽中。The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the faithless are trapped by their own desires.

7惡人一死,他的指望必滅絕;罪人的盼望也必滅沒。When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes, and the hope of his strength vanishes.

8義人得脫離患難,有惡人來代替他。The righteous man is delivered from trouble; in his place the wicked man goes in.

9不虔敬的人用口敗壞鄰舍;義人卻因知識得救。With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.

10義人享福,合城喜樂;惡人滅亡,人都歡呼。When the righteous thrive, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

11城因正直人祝福便高舉,卻因邪惡人的口就傾覆。By the blessing of the upright a city is built up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

12藐視鄰舍的,毫無智慧;明哲人卻靜默不言。Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks judgment, but a man of understanding remains silent.

13,洩漏密事;心中誠實的,遮隱事情。A gossip reveals a secret, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

14無智謀,民就敗落;多,人便安居。For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but with many counselors comes deliverance.

15為外人作保的,必受虧損;恨惡擊掌的,卻得安穩。He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.

16恩德的婦女得尊榮;強暴的男子得資財。A gracious woman attains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth.

17仁慈的人善待自己;殘忍的人擾害己身。A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.

18惡人經營,得虛浮的工價;撒義種的,得實在的果效。The wicked man earns an empty wage, but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.

19恆心為義的,必得生命;追求邪惡的,必致死亡。Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.

20心中乖僻的,為耶和華所憎惡;行事完全的,為他所喜悅。The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their walk are His delight.

21惡人雖然連手,必不免受罰;義人的後裔必得拯救。Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.

22婦女美貌而無見識,如同帶在豬鼻上。Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

23義人的心願盡得好處;惡人的指望致干忿怒。The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.

24有的,卻更增添;有過度的,反致窮乏。One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

25好施捨的,必得豐裕;人的,必得滋潤。A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

26,民必咒詛他;情願出賣的,人必為他祝福。The people will curse the hoarder of grain, but blessing will crown the one who sells it.

27懇切求善的,就求得恩惠;惟獨求惡的,惡必臨到他身。He who searches out good finds favor, but evil will come to him who seeks it.

28倚仗自己財物的,必跌倒;義人必發旺,如青葉。He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like foliage.

29擾害己家的,必;愚昧人必作慧心人的僕人。He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30義人所結的果子就是生命樹;有智慧的,必能得人。The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.

31看哪,義人在世尚且受報,何況惡人和罪人呢?If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
