箴言	Proverbs

⁴遊手好閒，使人貧窮；勤奮工作，使人富有。	⁴The lazy hand brings poverty; the diligent hand brings wealth.
⁵夏季貯蓄的，是明智的孩童；秋收酣睡的是無恥的兒子。	⁵The prudent man reaps in summer; the one who sleeps at harvest time deserves scorn.
⁶上主的祝福在義人頭上，災禍卻使惡人啞口無言。	⁶Blessings on the head of the upright man! Violence silences the cry of the wicked.

¹²仇恨引起爭端，愛情遮掩一切過失。	¹²Hatred enkindles disputes, love covers over all offenses.

¹⁴智慧的人，隱諱自己學問；愚昧人的口，招致逼近的喪亡。	¹⁴The wise man stores up learning but the mouth of the fool makes way for ruin.
¹⁵富人的財富，是他自己的堅城；窮人的零落，卻是他們的貧乏。	¹⁵The rich man's fortune is his fortress, the poverty of the poor is their undoing.
¹⁶義人的薪金，用以維持生活；惡人的收入，卻只用來犯罪。	¹⁶The virtuous man's toil brings him life, while the sins of the evil man destroy him.
¹⁷誰遵守勸告，必走向生命之路；誰輕視規勸，必自誤入迷途。	¹⁷Respect for discipline is the path of life; he who ignores correction is doomed.
¹⁸撒謊的唇舌，必暗藏仇恨；散播謠言的，必是愚昧人。	¹⁸Hypocritical is he who tolerates hatred; he who slanders is a fool.

²⁰義人的舌，貴若純金；惡人的心，賤似草芥。	²⁰The upright man's tongue is pure silver, but the hearts of evildoers have little value.
²¹義人的唇舌教育群眾，愚人必因缺乏心智而死亡。	²¹The lips of one upright man feed many people while fools die for lack of sense.

²³愚昧人樂於作惡，明哲人樂於求智。	²³The fool delights in doing evil and the wise man in acquiring wisdom.
²⁴惡人畏懼的，反向他侵襲；義人的希望，終獲得應允。	²⁴The evildoer will encounter the evil he dreaded whereas the upright man will receive what he looked forward to.
²⁵暴風雨一過，惡人不復存在；義人卻根深蒂固。	²⁵After the storm the wicked man is seen no more, but the upright man remains forever.
²⁶懶漢之於派遣他的人，就如醋之於牙，煙之於目。	²⁶The lazy man is like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes of his master.
