旧约--箴言(proverbs)--第 21 章21:1王的心在耶和华手中，好像陇沟的水，随意流转。the king's heart is in the hand of the lord, as the rivers of water: he turcomh it whithersoever he will.21:2人所行的，在自己的眼中都看为正，惟有耶和华衡量人心。every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the lord pondereth the hearts.21:3行仁义公平，比献祭更蒙耶和华悦纳。to do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the lord than sacrifice.21:4恶人发达，眼高心傲，这乃是罪。（发达原文是灯）an high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.21:5殷勤筹画的，足致丰裕。行事急躁的，都必缺乏。the thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.21:6用诡诈之舌求财的，就是自己取死。所得之财，乃是吹来吹去的浮云。the getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.21:7恶人的强暴，必将自己扫除。因他们不肯按公平行事。the robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.21:8负罪之人的路，甚是弯曲。至于清洁的人，他所行的乃是正直。the way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.21:9宁可住在房顶的角上，不在宽阔的房屋，与争吵的妇人同住。it is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.21:10恶人的心，乐人受祸。他眼并不怜恤邻舍。the soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.21:11亵慢的人受刑罚，愚蒙的人就得智慧。智慧人受训诲，便得知识。when the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.21:12义人思想恶人的家，知道恶人倾倒，必至灭亡。the righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but god overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.21:13塞耳不听穷人哀求的，他将来呼吁也不蒙应允。whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.21:14暗中送的礼物，挽回怒气。怀中搋的贿赂，止息暴怒。a gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.21:15秉公行义，使义人喜乐，使作孽的人败坏。it is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.21:16迷离通达道路的，必住在阴魂的会中。the man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.21:17爱宴乐的，必致穷乏。好酒爱膏油的，必不富足。he that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.21:18恶人作了义人的赎价。奸诈人代替正直人。the wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.21:19宁可住在旷野，不与争吵使气的妇人同住。it is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.21:20智慧人家中积蓄宝物膏油。愚昧人随得来随吞下。there is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.21:21追求公义仁慈的，就寻得生命，公义，和尊荣。he that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.21:22智慧人爬上勇士的城墙，倾覆他所倚靠的坚垒。a wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.21:23谨守口与舌的，就保守自己免受灾难。whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.21:24心骄气傲的人，名叫亵慢。他行事狂妄，都出于骄傲。proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.21:25懒惰人的心愿，将他杀害，因为他手不肯作工。the desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.21:26有终日贪得无厌的，义人施舍而不吝惜。he coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.21:27恶人的祭物是可憎的，何况他存恶意来献呢。the sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?21:28作假见证的必灭亡，惟有听真情而言的，其言长存。a false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.21:29恶人脸无羞耻，正直人行事坚定。a wicked man hardecomh his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.21:30没有人能以智慧，聪明，谋略，敌挡耶和华。there is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the lord.21:31马是为打仗之日豫备的。得胜乃在乎耶和华。the horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the lord.
