Proverbs

智慧的赏赐

1我儿，你若领受我的言语， 存记我的命令，

2侧耳听智慧， 专心求聪明，

3呼求明哲， 扬声求聪明，

4寻找它，如寻找银子， 搜求它，如搜求隐藏的珍宝，

5你就明白敬畏耶和华， 得以认识 神。

6因为，耶和华赐人智慧； 知识和聪明都由他口而出。

7他给正直人存留真智慧， 给行为纯正的人作盾牌，

8为要保守公平人的路， 护庇虔敬人的道。

9你也必明白仁义、公平、 正直、一切的善道。

10智慧必入你心； 你的灵要以知识为美。

11谋略必护卫你； 聪明必保守你，

12要救你脱离恶道， 脱离说乖谬话的人。

13那等人舍弃正直的路， 行走黑暗的道，

14欢喜作恶， 喜爱恶人的乖僻，

15在他们的道中弯曲， 在他们的路上偏僻。

16智慧要救你脱离淫妇， 就是那油嘴滑舌的外女。

17她离弃幼年的配偶， 忘了 神的盟约。

18她的家陷入死地； 她的路偏向阴间。

19凡到她那里去的，不得转回， 也得不着生命的路。

20智慧必使你行善人的道， 守义人的路。

21正直人必在世上居住； 完全人必在地上存留。

22惟有恶人必然剪除； 奸诈的，必然拔出。

1My son, if you will receive my words,and store up my commandments within you,

2so as to turn your ear to wisdom,and apply your heart to understanding;

3yes, if you call out for discernment,and lift up your voice for understanding;

4if you seek her as silver,and search for her as for hidden treasures;

5then you will understand the fear of the LORD,and find the knowledge of God.

6For the LORD gives wisdom.Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

7He lays up sound wisdom for the upright.He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

8that he may guard the paths of justice,and preserve the way of his saints.

9Then you will understand righteousness and justice,equity and every good path.

10For wisdom will enter into your heart.Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

11Discretion will watch over you.Understanding will keep you,

12to deliver you from the way of evil,from the men who speak perverse things,

13who forsake the paths of uprightness,to walk in the ways of darkness,

14who rejoice to do evil,and delight in the perverseness of evil,

15who are crooked in their ways,and wayward in their paths,

16to deliver you from the strange woman,even from the foreigner who flatters with her words,

17who forsakes the friend of her youth,and forgets the covenant of her God;

18for her house leads down to death,her paths to the departed spirits.

19None who go to her return again,neither do they attain to the paths of life.

20Therefore walk in the way of good men,and keep the paths of the righteous.

21For the upright will dwell in the land.The perfect will remain in it.

22But the wicked will be cut off from the land.The treacherous will be rooted out of it.
