金句精選(箴21-24)

美名勝過大財;恩寵強如金銀。A sterling reputation is better than striking it rich; a gracious spirit is better than money in the bank (MSG)(22:1)

敬畏耶和華心存謙卑,就得富有、尊榮、生命為賞賜。True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. (NLT)(22:4)

教養孩童使他走當行的道,就是到老他也不偏離。Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (NIV)(22:6)

你豈要定睛在虛無的錢財上麼?因錢財必長翅膀,如鷹向天飛去。In the blink of an eye wealth disappears for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle. (NLT)(23:5)

我兒你當聽:當存智慧,好在正道上引導你的心。Listen, my son, and be wise. Lead your heart in the way. (NLV)(23:19)

智慧人大有能力,有知識的人力上加力。你去打仗要憑智謀;謀士眾多人便得勝。It's better to be wise than strong; intelligence outranks muscle any day. Strategic planning is the key to warfare; to win, you need a lot of good counsel. (MSG)(24: 5-6)

我兒,你要敬畏耶和華與君王;不要與反覆無常的人結交。My son, fear the Lord and the king. Have nothing to do with those who are given to change. (NLV)(24:21)

再睡片時、打盹片時、抱著手躺臥片時,你的貧窮就必如強盜速來,你的缺乏彷彿拿兵器的人來到。Here are some further sayings of the wise: It is wrong to show favoritism when passing judgment. A judge who says to the wicked, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by many people and denounced by the nations. (NLT)(24:23-24)
