箴言 12章
喜爱管教的，
就是喜爱知识；
恨恶责备的，
却是畜类。
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠，
设诡计的人，耶和华必定他的罪。
A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
人靠恶行不能坚立，
义人的根必不动摇。
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
才德的妇人是丈夫的冠冕，
贻羞的妇人如同朽烂在她丈夫的骨中。
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
义人的思念是公平，
恶人的计谋是诡诈。
The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血，
正直人的口必拯救人。
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
耕种自己田地的，
必得饱食，
追随虚浮的，
却是无知。
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
恶人嘴中的过错，
是自己的网罗，
但义人必脱离患难。
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
人因口所结的果子，
必饱得美福，
人手所作的，
必为自己的报应。
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
愚妄人所行的，
在自己眼中看为正直，
惟智慧人肯听人的劝教。
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
义人不遭灾害，
恶人满受祸患。
There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
殷勤人的手必掌权，
懒惰的人必服苦。
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
