箴言1-3章的金句

箴言有時不用太多解釋,太多解釋有時反會限制了它豐富的內容,有好的譯本反倒更美。

惟有聽從我的,必安然居住,得享安靜,不怕災禍。
But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm. (NLT) (1:33)

智慧必使你行善人的道,守義人的路。正直人必在世上居住;完全人必在地上存留。
Follow the example of good people and live an honest life. If you are honest and innocent, you will keep your land. (CEV)(2:20-21)

你要專心仰賴耶和華,不可倚靠自己的聰明,在你一切所行的事上都要認定他,他必指引你的路。
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. (MSG)(3:5-6)

我兒,你不可輕看耶和華的管教,也不可厭煩他的責備;因為耶和華所愛的,他必責備,正如父親責備所喜愛的兒子。My child, don’t turn away or become bitter when the Lord corrects you. The Lord corrects everyone he loves, jst as parents correct their favorite child. (CEV)(3:11-12)

得智慧,得聰明的,這人便為有福。God blesses everyone who has wisdom and common sense. (CEV)(3:13)

耶和華以智慧立地,以聰明定天,以知識使深淵裂開,使天空滴下甘露。The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew. (RSV)(3:19-20)

你手若有行善的力量,不可推辭,就當向那應得的人施行。Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God’s hand for that person. (MSG)(3:27)

他譏誚那好譏誚的人,賜恩給謙卑的人。智慧人必承受尊榮;愚昧人高升也成為羞辱。He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. The wise inherit honour, but fools he holds up to shame. (NIV)(3:34-35)
