你不要说话给愚昧人听。因他必藐视你智慧的言语。
Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
我儿你心若存智慧，我的心也甚欢喜。
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
你的嘴若说正直话，我的心肠也必快乐。
Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
你心中不要嫉妒罪人。只要终日敬畏耶和华。
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
因为至终必有善报。你的指望也不至断绝。
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
因为好酒贪食的，必至贫穷。好睡觉的，必穿破烂衣服。
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
你当买真理。就是智慧，训诲，和聪明，也都不可卖。
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
酒发红，在杯中闪烁，你不可观看，虽然下咽舒畅，终久是咬你如蛇，刺你如毒蛇。
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
你必像躺在海中，或像卧在桅杆上。
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
这风声传到埃及，埃及人为推罗的风声，极其疼痛。
As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
