恨能挑启争端。爱能遮掩一切过错。
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
明哲人嘴里有智慧。无知人背上受刑杖。
In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
智慧人积存知识。愚妄人的口速致败坏。
Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
富户的财物,是他的坚城。穷人的贫乏,是他的败坏。
The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
义人的勤劳致生。恶人的进项致死。(死原文作罪)
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
谨守训诲的,乃在生命的道上。违弃责备的,便失迷了路。
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
隐藏怨恨的,有说谎的嘴。口出谗谤的,是愚妄的人。
He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
义人的口教养多人。愚昧人因无知而死亡。
The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
耶和华所赐的福,使人富足。并不加上忧虑。
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
暴风一过,恶人归于无有。义人的根基却是永久。
As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
