Precepts and Warnings
1你不要嫉妒惡人，也不要起意與他們相處；2因為，他們的心圖謀強暴，他們的口談論奸惡。
1Do not be envious of evil people,
Nor desire to be with them; 2For their minds plot violence,
And their lips talk of trouble.
Nor desire to be with them; 2For their minds plot violence,
And their lips talk of trouble.

And by understanding it is established; 4And by knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
And by understanding it is established; 4And by knowledge the rooms are filled

And in an abundance of counselors there is victory.

10你在患難之日若膽怯，你的力量就微小。
10If you show yourself lacking courage on the day of distress,
Your strength is meager.
Your strength is meager.
11人被拉到死地，你要解救；人將被殺，你須攔阻。12你若說：這事我未曾知道，那衡量人心的豈不明白嗎？保守你命的豈不知道嗎？他豈不按各人所行的報應各人嗎？
11Rescue those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to the slaughter, Oh hold them back! 12If you say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He who weighs the hearts not consider it?
And does He who watches over your soul not know it?
And will He not repay a person according to his work?

13我兒，你要吃蜜，因為是好的；吃蜂房下滴的蜜便覺甘甜。14你心得了智慧，也必覺得如此。你若找著，至終必有善報；你的指望也不致斷絕。
13My son, eat honey, for it is good;
Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste; 14Know that wisdom is the same for your soul;
If you find it, then there will be a future,
And your hope will not be cut off.

15你這惡人，不要埋伏攻擊義人的家；不要毀壞他安居之所。16因為，義人雖七次跌倒，仍必興起；惡人卻被禍患傾倒。
15Do not lie in ambush, you wicked person, against the home of the righteous;
Do not destroy his resting place; 16For a righteous person falls seven times and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of disaster.
Do not destroy his resting place; 16For a righteous person falls seven times and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of disaster.
17你仇敵跌倒，你不要歡喜；他傾倒，你心不要快樂；18恐怕耶和華看見就不喜悅，將怒氣從仇敵身上轉過來。
17Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles, 18Otherwise, the LORD will see and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him.
And do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles, 18Otherwise, the LORD will see and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him.
19不要為作惡的心懷不平，也不要嫉妒惡人；20因為，惡人終不得善報；惡人的燈也必熄滅。
19Do not get upset because of evildoers
Or be envious of the wicked; 20For there will be no future for the evil person;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
Or be envious of the wicked; 20For there will be no future for the evil person;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21我兒，你要敬畏耶和華與君王，不要與反覆無常的人結交，22因為他們的災難必忽然而起。耶和華與君王所施行的毀滅，誰能知道呢？
21My son, fear the LORD and the king;
Do not get involved with those of high rank, 22For their disaster will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that can come from both of them?
Do not get involved with those of high rank, 22For their disaster will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that can come from both of them?
23以下也是智慧人的箴言：審判時看人情面是不好的。24對惡人說「你是義人」的，這人萬民必咒詛，列邦必憎惡。25責備惡人的，必得喜悅；美好的福也必臨到他。26應對正直的，猶如與人親嘴。
23These also are sayings of the wise:
To show partiality in judgment is not good. 24One who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
Peoples will curse him, nations will scold him; 25But for those who rebuke the wicked there will be delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them. 26One who gives a right answer
Kisses the lips.

27你要在外頭預備工料，在田間辦理整齊，然後建造房屋。
27Prepare your work outside,
And make it ready for yourself in the field;
Afterward, then, build your house.
And make it ready for yourself in the field;
Afterward, then, build your house.
28不可無故作見證陷害鄰舍，也不可用嘴欺騙人。29不可說：人怎樣待我，我也怎樣待他；我必照他所行的報復他。
28Do not be a witness against your neighbor for no reason,
And do not deceive with your lips. 29Do not say, “I shall do the same to him as he has done to me;
I will repay the person according to his work.”
And do not deceive with your lips. 29Do not say, “I shall do the same to him as he has done to me;
I will repay the person according to his work.”
30我經過懶惰人的田地、無知人的葡萄園，31荊棘長滿了地皮，刺草遮蓋了田面，石牆也坍塌了。32我看見就留心思想；我看著就領了訓誨。33再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時，34你的貧窮就必如強盜速來，你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。
30I passed by the field of a lazy one,
And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense, 31And behold, it was completely overgrown with weeds;
Its surface was covered with weeds,
And its stone wall was broken down. 32When I saw, I reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction. 33“A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,” 34Then your poverty will come like a drifter,
And your need like an armed man.
