常存敬畏的，便为有福。心存刚硬的，必陷在祸患里。
Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
暴虐的君王辖制贫民。好像吼叫的狮子，觅食的熊。
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
行动正直的，必蒙拯救。行事弯曲的，立时跌倒。
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
诚实人必多得福，想要急速发财的，不免受罚。
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
看人的情面，乃为不好。人因一块饼枉法，也为不好。
To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
责备人的，后来蒙人喜悦，多于那用舌头谄媚人的。
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
心中自是的，便是愚昧人。凭智慧行事的，必蒙拯救。
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
周济贫穷的，不致缺乏。佯为不见的，必多受咒诅。
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
祸哉，以法莲的酒徒，住在肥美谷的山上，他们心里高傲，以所夸的为冠冕，犹如将残之花。
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
就是这地的人，因酒摇摇晃晃，因浓酒东倒西歪。祭司和先知因浓酒摇摇晃晃，被酒所困，因浓酒东倒西歪。他们错解默示，谬行审判。
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
