Similitudes and Instructions
1夏天落雪，收割時下雨，都不相宜；愚昧人得尊榮也是如此。2麻雀往來，燕子翻飛；這樣，無故的咒詛也必不臨到。3鞭子是為打馬，轡頭是為勒驢；刑杖是為打愚昧人的背。4不要照愚昧人的愚妄話回答他，恐怕你與他一樣。5要照愚昧人的愚妄話回答他，免得他自以為有智慧。6藉愚昧人手寄信的，是砍斷自己的腳，自受原文是：喝損害。7瘸子的腳空存無用；箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。8將尊榮給愚昧人的，好像人把石子包在機弦裏。9箴言在愚昧人的口中，好像荊棘刺入醉漢的手。10雇愚昧人的，與雇過路人的，就像射傷眾人的弓箭手。11愚昧人行愚妄事，行了又行，就如狗轉過來吃牠所吐的。12你見自以為有智慧的人嗎？愚昧人比他更有指望。13懶惰人說：道上有猛獅，街上有壯獅。14門在樞紐轉動，懶惰人在床上也是如此。15懶惰人放手在盤子裏，就是向口撤回也以為勞乏。16懶惰人看自己比七個善於應對的人更有智慧。17過路被事激動，管理不干己的爭競，好像人揪住狗耳。18–19人欺凌鄰舍，卻說：我豈不是戲耍嗎？他就像瘋狂的人拋擲火把、利箭，與殺人的兵器原文是死亡。20火缺了柴就必熄滅；無人傳舌，爭競便止息。21好爭競的人煽惑爭端，就如餘火加炭，火上加柴一樣。
1Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool. 2Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
So a curse without cause does not come to rest. 3A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the back of fools. 4Do not answer a fool according to his foolishness,
Or you will also be like him. 5Answer a fool as his foolishness deserves,
So that he will not be wise in his own eyes. 6One who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Chops off his own feet and drinks violence. 7Like useless legs to one who cannot walk,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools. 8Like one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is one who gives honor to a fool. 9Like a thorn that sticks in the hand of a heavy drinker,
So is a proverb in the mouths of fools. 10Like an archer who wounds everyone,
So is one who hires a fool or hires those who pass by. 11Like a dog that returns to its vomit,
So is a fool who repeats his foolishness. 12Do you see a person wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him. 13A lazy one says, “There is a lion on the road!
A lion is in the public square!” 14As the door turns on its hinges,
So does a lazy one on his bed. 15A lazy one buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again. 16A lazy one is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven people who can give a discreet answer. 17Like one who takes a dog by the ears,
So is one who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him. 18Like a maniac who shoots
Flaming arrows, arrows, and death, 19So is a person who deceives his neighbor,
And says, “Was I not joking?” 20For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no gossiper, quarreling quiets down. 21Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
So is a contentious person to kindle strife.

22傳舌人的言語，如同美食，深入人的心腹。23火熱的嘴，奸惡的心，好像銀渣包的瓦器。24怨恨人的，用嘴粉飾，心裏卻藏著詭詐；25他用甜言蜜語，你不可信他，因為他心中有七樣可憎惡的。26他雖用詭詐遮掩自己的怨恨，他的邪惡必在會中顯露。27挖陷坑的，自己必掉在其中；滾石頭的，石頭必反滾在他身上。28虛謊的舌恨他所壓傷的人；諂媚的口敗壞人的事。
22The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body. 23Like an earthenware vessel overlaid with silver impurities
Are burning lips and a wicked heart. 24One who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he harbors deceit in his heart. 25When he speaks graciously, do not believe him,
Because there are seven abominations in his heart. 26Though his hatred covers itself with deception,
His wickedness will be revealed in the assembly. 27One who digs a pit will fall into it,
And one who rolls a stone, it will come back on him. 28A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
