Similitudes and Instructions
1以下也是所羅門的箴言，是猶大王希西家的人所謄錄的。
1These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, transcribed.
2將事隱祕乃神的榮耀；將事察清乃君王的榮耀。3天之高，地之厚，君王之心也測不透。4除去銀子的渣滓就有銀子出來，銀匠能以做器皿。5除去王面前的惡人，國位就靠公義堅立。6不要在王面前妄自尊大；不要在大人的位上站立。7寧可有人說：請你上來，強如在你覲見的王子面前叫你退下。
2It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. 3As the heavens for height and the earth for depth,
So the heart of kings is unsearchable. 4Take away the impurities from the silver,
And there comes out a vessel for the smith; 5Take away the wicked before the king,
And his throne will be established in righteousness. 6Do not boast in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the same place as great people; 7For it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.

8不要冒失出去與人爭競，免得至終被他羞辱，你就不知道怎樣行了。9你與鄰舍爭訟，要與他一人辯論，不可洩漏人的密事，10恐怕聽見的人罵你，你的臭名就難以脫離。
8Do not go out hastily to argue your case;
Otherwise, what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor humiliates you? 9Argue your case with your neighbor,
And do not reveal the secret of another, 10Or one who hears it will put you to shame,
And the evil report about you will not pass away.

11一句話說得合宜，就如金蘋果在銀網子裏。12智慧人的勸戒，在順從的人耳中，好像金耳環和精金的妝飾。13忠信的使者叫差他的人心裏舒暢，就如在收割時有冰雪的涼氣。14空誇贈送禮物的，好像無雨的風雲。15恆常忍耐可以勸動君王；柔和的舌頭能折斷骨頭。16你得了蜜嗎？只可吃夠而已，恐怕你過飽就嘔吐出來。17你的腳要少進鄰舍的家，恐怕他厭煩你，恨惡你。18作假見證陷害鄰舍的，就是大槌，是利刀，是快箭。19患難時倚靠不忠誠的人，好像破壞的牙，錯骨縫的腳。20對傷心的人唱歌，就如冷天脫衣服，又如鹼上倒醋。21你的仇敵若餓了，就給他飯吃；若渴了，就給他水喝；22因為，你這樣行就是把炭火堆在他的頭上；耶和華也必賞賜你。23北風生雨，讒謗人的舌頭也生怒容。24寧可住在房頂的角上，不在寬闊的房屋與爭吵的婦人同住。25有好消息從遠方來，就如拿涼水給口渴的人喝。26義人在惡人面前退縮，好像逿渾之泉，弄濁之井。27吃蜜過多是不好的；考究自己的榮耀也是可厭的。28人不制伏自己的心，好像毀壞的城邑沒有牆垣。
11Like apples of gold in settings of silver,
Is a word spoken at the proper time. 12Like an earring of gold and a jewelry piece of fine gold,
Is a wise person who offers rebukes to a listening ear. 13Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters. 14Like clouds and wind without rain
Is a person who boasts of his gifts falsely. 15Through patience a ruler may be persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks bone. 16Have you found honey? Eat only what you need,
So that you do not have it in excess and vomit it. 17Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor’s house,
Or he will become weary of you and hate you. 18Like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow
Is a person who gives false testimony against his neighbor. 19Like a bad tooth and an unsteady foot
Is confidence in a treacherous person in time of trouble. 20Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda,
Is one who sings songs to a troubled heart. 21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; 22For you will heap burning coals on his head,
And the LORD will reward you. 23The north wind brings rain,
And a gossiping tongue brings an angry face. 24It is better to live on a corner of the roof,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. 25Like cold water to a weary soul,
So is good news from a distant land. 26Like a trampled spring and a polluted well,
So is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked. 27It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory. 28Like a city that is broken into and without walls
So is a person who has no self-control over his spirit.
