1人屡次受责罚,仍然;他必败坏,无法可治。A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery.

2义人增多,民就喜乐;恶人掌权,民就叹息。When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

3爱慕智慧的,使父亲喜乐;与妓女结交的,却浪费钱财。A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

4王借公平,使国坚定;,使国倾败。By justice a king brings stability to the land, but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it.

5谄媚邻舍的,就是绊他的脚。A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

6恶人犯罪,自陷网罗;惟独义人欢呼喜乐。An evil man is caught by his own sin, but a righteous one sings and rejoices.

7义人知道查明;恶人没有聪明,就不得而知。The righteous consider the cause of the poor, but the wicked have no regard for such concerns.

8亵慢人煽惑通城;智慧人止息众怒。Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger.

9智慧人与愚妄人相争,,总不能使他止息。If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution.

10好流人血的,恨恶完全人,索取正直人的性命。Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.

11愚妄人怒气全发;智慧人。A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.

12君王若听谎言,他一切臣仆都是奸恶。If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked.

13贫穷人、强暴人在世相遇;他们的眼目都蒙耶和华光照。The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

14君王凭诚实判断穷人;他的国位必永远坚立。A king who judges the poor with fairness—his throne will be established forever.

15杖打和责备能加增智慧;使母亲羞愧。A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

16恶人加多,过犯也加多,义人必看见他们跌倒。When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.

17管教你的儿子,他就使你得安息,也必使你心里喜乐。Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.

18没有(或译:默示),民就;惟遵守律法的,便为有福。Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the Law.

19只用言语,仆人不肯受管教;他虽然明白,也不留意。A servant cannot be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not respond.

20你见言语急躁的人吗?愚昧人比他更有指望。Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21人将仆人从小,这仆人终久必成了他的儿子。A servant pampered from his youth will bring grief in the end.

22好气的人挑启争端;暴怒的人多多犯罪。An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

23人的高傲必使他卑下;心里谦逊的,必得尊荣。A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.

24人与盗贼分赃,是恨恶自己的性命;他听见,却不言语。A partner to a thief hates his own soul; he receives the oath but does not testify.

25惧怕人的,陷入网罗;惟有倚靠耶和华的,必得安稳。The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is set securely on high.

26求王恩的人多;定人事乃在耶和华。Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man receives justice from the LORD.

27为非作歹的,被义人;行事正直的,被恶人憎恶。An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.
