箴言第12章

《圣经》箴言-第12章

箴12:1 喜爱管教的，就是喜爱知识；恨恶责备的，却是畜类。

†[吕]喜爱知识的爱受管教；恨恶劝责的是畜类无知。

†[思]喜爱受教的人，必喜爱智慧；憎恨规劝的人，真是糊涂。

†[当代]爱慕知识的，就乐于接受管教；厌恶劝责的，实在是愚不可及。

†[新译]喜爱教训的，就是喜爱知识；厌恶责备的，却是愚顽人。

†[Wlb]悦劝惩者、乃悦知识、恶斥责者、是为愚蠢、

†[Xdv]喜爱知识的人乐于受教；惟有愚蠢人憎恨规劝。

†[Kjv]Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

†[Nkjv]Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.

†[BBE]A lover of training is a lover of knowledge; but a hater of teaching is like a beast.

†[GNT] Any who love knowledge want to be told when they are wrong. It is stupid to hate being corrected.

†[NIV]Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.

本会注释　　有些人乐意接受不需要“教训、督责和使己归正”的知识（见提后3:16）。不为过去的失败感到遗憾，不愿意改正，对将来没有崇高理想的人，就像田间的走兽一样，不会培养品格，也不会灵魂得救（见彼后2:12）。

箴12:2 善人必蒙耶和华的恩惠；设诡计的人，耶和华必定他的罪。 (串)箴8:35

†[吕]善人必从永恒主取得恩悦；图谋恶事的人、永恒主必定他为恶。

†[思]善心的人，必得上主喜悦；心术邪恶的人，必受降罚。

†[当代]义人蒙主赐恩，恶人却被定罪。

†[新译]良善的人必得到耶和华的恩宠；图谋奸计的人，耶和华必把他定罪。

†[Wlb]行善者、耶和华必锡以恩、谋恶者、必定其罪、

†[Xdv]上主喜欢正直人；他责罚诡计多端的人。

†[Kjv]A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

†[Nkjv]A good man obtains favor from the LORD, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.

†[BBE]A good man has grace in the eyes of the Lord; but the man of evil designs gets punishment from him.

†[GNT] The Lord is pleased with good people, but condemns those who plan evil.

†[NIV]A good man obtains favor from the Lord , but the Lord condemns a crafty man.

本会注释　　这里的善义与后半节的恶人进行对比。行为正直诚实的人会得到上帝的悦纳。

箴12:3 人靠恶行不能坚立；义人的根必不动摇。 (串)箴10:25

†[吕]靠着恶行、没有人能立定；义人的根必不动摇。

†[思]没有人作恶而能稳立，唯有义人的根基永不动摇。

†[当代]人不能靠恶行坚立自己，义人却有坚固的根基。

†[新译]人不能恃凭恶行坚立；但义人的根必不动摇。

†[Wlb]人恃其恶、不能坚立、义者之根、永不动移、

†[Xdv]作恶不能使人安全；义人坚立而不动摇。

†[Kjv]A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

†[Nkjv]A man is not established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.

†[BBE]No man will make himself safe through evil-doing; but the root of upright men will never be moved.

†[GNT] Wickedness does not give security, but righteous people stand firm.

†[NIV]A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.

本会注释　　参诗1:3,4；37:23,31；弗3:17。

箴12:4 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。 (串)箴31:10|箴14:30

†[吕]有才德的妇人是丈夫的华冠；贻羞的妇女如烂疮、在丈夫骨中。

†[思]贤能的妻子，是她丈夫的冠冕；无耻的妻子，宛如丈夫骨中的腐蚀。

†[当代]贤德的妻子是丈夫的冠冕；贻羞的妻子，却是他骨中的溃烂。

†[新译]有才德的妇人是丈夫的冠冕，贻羞的妇人，如同丈夫骨中的朽烂。

†[Wlb]淑善之女、为夫首之冠冕、启羞之女、如夫骨之腐朽、

†[Xdv]贤慧的妻子是丈夫的华冠；无耻的妻子恰如丈夫骨中的毒瘤。

†[Kjv]A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

†[Nkjv]An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

†[BBE]A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.

†[GNT] A good wife is her husband's pride and joy; but a wife who brings shame on her husband is like a cancer in his bones.

†[NIV]A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

本会注释　　在所罗门的时代，父母指导着儿女的择偶。如今的年轻人却要自行选择。应及早虔诚认真地思考这里的教训，以免草率从事，造成终生的遗憾。一个软弱，多嘴，骄傲和奢华的女人会败坏她丈夫的主动性和决断性。

箴12:5 义人的思念是公平；恶人的计谋是诡诈。

†[吕]义人所设计的是公平；恶人的智谋是诡诈。

†[思]义人思念公正，恶人计划诡谲。

†[当代]义人的心思公平正直，恶人的计谋奸险诡诈。

†[新译]义人的筹算是公平，恶人的计谋却是诡诈。

†[Wlb]义人之思维公平、恶人之计谋诡诈、

†[Xdv]诚实人以公正待人；邪恶人只图谋欺诈。

†[Kjv]The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

†[Nkjv]The thoughts of the righteous are right, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

†[BBE]The purposes of upright men are right, but the designs of evil-doers are deceit.

†[GNT] Honest people will treat you fairly; the wicked only want to deceive you.

†[NIV]The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

本会注释　　是公平。直译是“是审判”或“公正”。义人的良善是从里到外的。他们内心的动机促使他们为别人作好事。他们的良心就像法官，判断他们的一切心思意念。他们越是接近基督化的目标，就越是受圣灵启示的控制（见加2:20；弗3:17；西1:27）。
　　内心的善良乃是义人的动机，恶人则会提出荒谬的建议，欺骗和伤害凡听的人。公义的道是通向幸福和真正成功的唯一道路（见箴14:12；约14:6）。

箴12:6 恶人的言论是埋伏流人的血；正直人的口必拯救人。 (串)箴1:11,18|箴14:3

†[吕]恶人的话埋伏着要流人的血；正直人的口能援救人。

†[思]恶人的言谈，是流血的陷阱；义人的口舌，设法搭救他人。

†[当代]恶人说的是阴谋害人的话，义人的口舌却能造福别人。

†[新译]恶人的言语等着要流人的血，正直人的口能拯救人。

†[Wlb]恶者所言、无非潜伏流血、正人之口、必救其人、

†[Xdv]邪恶人的口舌能杀人；义人的言语能救人。

†[Kjv]The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

†[Nkjv]The words of the wicked are, "Lie in wait for blood," But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.

†[BBE]The words of sinners are destruction for the upright; but the mouth of upright men is their salvation.

†[GNT] The words of the wicked are murderous, but the words of the righteous rescue those who are threatened.

†[NIV]The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.

本会注释　　第5节对义人的意念和恶人的计谋进行对比。本节则涉及表达出来的意念。恶人的言论会因其欺骗性而造成悲伤和死亡。他们的诬告和诽谤会引起敌意。义人则运用他们的口才和智慧去开导，保护并为恶人想要杀害的无辜者争取朋友（见王上21:1-24；王下4:1-7）。

箴12:7 恶人倾覆，归于无有；义人的家必站得住。 (串)诗37:35-37箴11:21太7:24-27

†[吕]恶人倾覆、归于无有；义人的家恒久站立。

†[思]恶人一旦倾覆，便不复存在；义人的家室，却得以久存。

†[当代]恶人倾覆了，就永远不能翻身；义人的家室却必然屹立长存。

†[新译]恶人倾覆，就不再存在；义人的家却必站立得住。

†[Wlb]恶人倾覆、归于乌有、义者之家、恒久存立、

†[Xdv]邪恶人败落，子孙不继；义人的家室得以存续。

†[Kjv]The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

†[Nkjv]The wicked are overthrown and are no more, But the house of the righteous will stand.

†[BBE]Evil-doers are overturned and never seen again, but the house of upright men will keep its place.

†[GNT] The wicked meet their downfall and leave no descendants, but the families of the righteous live on.

†[NIV]Wicked men are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm.

本会注释　　义人把房屋建造在磐石耶稣基督上。他的期望是可靠的（太7:24-27）。他有了救主，就拥有永生（约壹5:11,12；见《历代愿望》第388页）。他也许会跌倒。但他虽七次跌到，仍必兴起（箴24:16）。

箴12:8 人必按自己的智慧被称赞；心中乖谬的，必被藐视。 (串)撒上25:17

†[吕]人被称赞、是凭着他的明智；心邪曲的必被藐视。

†[思]人凭自己的识见，获得赞美；但心地邪僻的人，必受轻视。

†[当代]精明智慧的人，众口称赞；心怀邪念的人，必遭鄙弃。

†[新译]人因着自己的明慧必得称赞，但心中乖谬的必被藐视。

†[Wlb]循人智慧而加揄扬、惟心乖者、则受蔑视、

†[Xdv]聪明人将受赞扬；愚蠢人必被轻蔑。

†[Kjv]A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

†[Nkjv]A man will be commended according to his wisdom, But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.

†[BBE]A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.

†[GNT] If you are intelligent, you will be praised; if you are stupid, people will look down on you.

†[NIV]A man is praised according to his wisdom, but men with warped minds are despised.

本会注释　　没有什么比智慧和审慎更能带来持久的称赞。办事值得信赖，行动出于理智和更高原则的人（见撒上18:5），总是受欢迎的。虚妄无情，人生观扭曲，心中乖谬的人，必受到了解他真情的人，甚至是那些利用他达到自己目的人所藐视。犹大就是这样的一个人（太27:3-8；徒1:16-20）。

箴12:9 被人轻贱，却有仆人，强如自尊，缺少食物。 (串)箴13:7

†[吕]地位轻微、而自己有农产物（传统：仆人），胜过自尊自大、而缺少食粮。

†[思]一个自给自足的平民，比爱排场而缺食的人，更为可贵。

†[当代]地位低微却自食其力，总胜过饿著肚子硬充排场。

†[新译]被人轻看却有仆人的人，胜过自尊自大却缺少食物的人。

†[Wlb]居卑而有役、愈于自大而乏食、

†[Xdv]平凡的人靠工作生活，胜过自高自大的人捱饿。

†[Kjv]He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

†[Nkjv]Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant, Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.

†[BBE]He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.

†[GNT] It is better to be an ordinary person working for a living than to play the part of someone great but go hungry.

†[NIV]Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food.

本会注释　　被人轻贱（qalah）。与第8节“藐视”的原文buz不同。
　　有仆人。七十士译本为“侍奉自己”。故英文RSV版译为“为自己做工的卑微者，要强如自尊而缺少食物的人”。KJV版的意思是，一个有仆人为他工作，种麦打粮的人，要强于空腹吹牛的人。

箴12:10 义人顾惜他牲畜的命；恶人的怜悯也是残忍。 (串)申25:4

†[吕]义人知照他牲口的脾气；恶人的心肠总是残忍。

†[思]义人珍惜禽兽的生命，恶人的心肠残忍刻薄。

†[当代]义人顾惜他牲畜的生命，恶人却是残暴不仁。

†[新译]义人连自己牲畜的性命也顾惜；但恶人的怜悯也是残忍。

†[Wlb]义人恤其牲畜之命、惟恶者之仁慈、无非残忍、

†[Xdv]正直人爱护动物；邪恶人残害牲畜。

†[Kjv]A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

†[Nkjv]A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

†[BBE]An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evil-doers are cruel.

†[GNT] Good people take care of their animals, but wicked people are cruel to theirs.

†[NIV]A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

本会注释　　上帝顾惜祂所造的动物。它们不该受的痛苦，是不会被置之不理的（拿4:11；太6:26；10:29）。律法的教训包括一些对待低级动物的条例（出23:4,5；申25:4；《先祖与先知》第443页；《历代愿望》第500页）。人类的仇敌大大加重了人和动物的痛苦。侍奉他的人也会变得残忍。他们的自私使他们看不到别人的需要。

箴12:11 耕种自己田地的，必得饱食；追随虚浮的，却是无知。 (串)创3:19箴28:19|箴6:32

†[吕]耕种自己田地的必吃饱饭；追逐空空洞事的必缺少食粮（传统：心）。

†[思]自耕其地的人，必得饱食；追求虚幻的人，实属愚昧。

†[当代]努力耕耘的，可得丰衣足食；追求虚荣的，却是愚不可及。

†[新译]耕种自己田地的，也有充足的粮食；追求虚幻的，实在无知。

†[Wlb]力其田者足食、从虚浮者无知、

†[Xdv]勤于耕作的农夫食用无缺；追求虚幻的人愚不可及。

†[Kjv]He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

†[Nkjv]He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.

†[BBE]He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense.

†[GNT] A hard-working farmer has plenty to eat, but it is stupid to waste time on useless projects.

†[NIV]He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.

本会注释　　虚浮（reqim）。“虚浮的东西”或“空虚的人”。改善现状的愿望是正确的。但不顾眼前的工作而去寻梦乃是愚蠢的。要尽力做好手头的工作，获得日常的饮食，抽出时间去追求其他有价值的目标，并为更高的工作做好准备（见《教育论》第267页）。

箴12:12 恶人想得坏人的网罗；义人的根得以结实。

†[吕]坏人的堡障是（传统有：邪恶的）淤泥（传统：贪欲）；义人的根永久长存（传统：‘给予’一词同字）。

†[思]邪恶的想望，是恶人的罗网；义人的根基，却永不动摇。

†[当代]恶人渴想的，是别人的钱财；义人却乐于自力更生。

†[新译]恶人贪慕坏人的网罗；义人的根得以结果。

†[Wlb]恶人罔利、恶人欲得其网、义者之根、自结其实、

†[Xdv]邪恶人终日想作坏事；正直人坚定而不动摇。

†[Kjv]The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

†[Nkjv]The wicked covet the catch of evil men, But the root of the righteous yields fruit.

†[BBE]The resting-place of the sinner will come to destruction, but the root of upright men is for ever.

†[GNT] All that wicked people want is to find evil things to do, but the righteous stand firm.

†[NIV]The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.

本会注释　　网罗（mas）。本句和该词的意思均不明确。Mas 有时指围攻。本节可能指恶人想要得到掠物或保护，但没有什么收获，义人则牢牢扎根并结出果实。

箴12:13 恶人嘴中的过错是自己的网罗；但义人必脱离患难。 (串)箴18:7|彼后2:9

†[吕]坏人被自己咀中的过错所罗住（传统：网罗）；义人必从患难中逃脱出来。

†[思]恶人失口，自寻苦恼；义人却能幸免受累。

†[当代]恶人被自己言语的错失所困；义人却能安然脱险。

†[新译]坏人嘴里的过失，是自己的网罗；但义人必脱离患难。

†[Wlb]恶者网于口过、义者脱于患难、

†[Xdv]邪恶人掉在自己口舌的圈套里；诚实人得免于祸患。

†[Kjv]The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

†[Nkjv]The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble.

†[BBE]In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.

†[GNT] The wicked are trapped by their own words, but honest people get themselves out of trouble.

†[NIV]An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes trouble.

本会注释　　恶人陷入自己的谎言而不能自拔。义人虽因仇敌的攻击而陷入困境，但他的诚实和上帝掌管的大能会使他走出困境（见诗37:39,40；彼后2:9）。

箴12:14 人因口所结的果子，必饱得美福；人手所做的，必为自己的报应。 (串)箴13:2;18:20|赛3:10,11

†[吕]人因口结的果子而饱得美物；人的手所作的、其报应必回归自己。

†[思]人必饱尝自己口舌的果实，必按自己的行为获得报应。

†[当代]人的言语要为他带来美物，人的双手要得著劳碌的成果。

†[新译]人因口所结的果子必饱尝美物；人手所作的必归到他身上。

†[Wlb]人因口果而饱以福、依手所为而得其报、

†[Xdv]人从自己的言行得到奖赏；他将获取应得的酬报。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, And the recompense of a man's hands will be rendered to him.

†[BBE]From the fruit of his mouth will a man have good food in full measure, and the work of a man's hands will be rewarded.

†[GNT] Your reward depends on what you say and what you do; you will get what you deserve.

†[NIV]From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.

本会注释　　口所结的果子。义人因自己的美言和双手的劳动而得到报酬。
　　报应。是上帝使这些回报转过来祝福义人（见伯1:10；赛3:10）。

箴12:15 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。 (串)箴3:7路18:11

†[吕]愚妄人所行的自看为对；惟智慧人肯听劝告。

†[思]愚昧的人，常以为自己的道路正直；但明智的人，却常听从劝告。

†[当代]愚昧的人常自以为是，智慧的人却虚心听取劝告。

†[新译]愚妄人所行的，在自己眼中看为正直，只有智慧人肯听劝告。

†[Wlb]愚者视己之途为正、智者惟人之训是听、

†[Xdv]愚蠢人自以为是；明达人听从规劝。

†[Kjv]The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

†[Nkjv]The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.

†[BBE]The way of the foolish man seems right to him? but the wise man gives ear to suggestions.

†[GNT] Stupid people always think they are right. Wise people listen to advice.

†[NIV]The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.

本会注释　　见箴3:7；13:10；14:12；16:2；21:2；《证言》卷一第360页。

箴12:16 愚妄人的恼怒立时显露；通达人能忍辱藏羞。 (串)箴29:11

†[吕]愚妄人的恼怒立时显露；惟精明人能忍辱藏羞。

†[思]愚昧的人，立时显出自己的愤怒；机智的人，却忍辱而不外露。

†[当代]愚昧的人轻易发怒，精明的人能忍辱负重。

†[新译]愚妄人的恼怒立时显露，精明的人却能忍受羞辱。

†[Wlb]愚者有怒即见、智者受辱隐忍、

†[Xdv]愚蠢人一恼怒，立刻显露；精明人能容忍侮辱。

†[Kjv]A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

†[Nkjv]A fool's wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.

†[BBE]A foolish man lets his trouble be openly seen, but a sharp man keeps shame secret.

†[GNT] When a fool is annoyed, he quickly lets it be known. Smart people will ignore an insult.

†[NIV]A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

本会注释　　愚妄人没有培养起自制的能力。如果他受到侮辱或轻视，就马上会生气。通达人知道这样做会加深矛盾，所以他要等到先冷静下来再纠正错误。或者他完全不予理会（见箴20:22；24:29；太5:39；路6:35）。

箴12:17 说出真话的，显明公义；作假见证的，显出诡诈。 (串)箴14:5

†[吕]吐露真情的说公正话；作假见证的出诈伪之言。

†[思]吐露真情，是彰显正义；作假见证，是自欺欺人。

†[当代]说真话是彰显事实，作假见证是歪曲事实、口吐谎言。

†[新译]吐露真情的，彰显正义，作假见证的却是诡诈。

†[Wlb]言诚者著公义、伪证者显奸欺、

†[Xdv]说实话，显示公正；作假证，伤害无辜。

†[Kjv]He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

†[Nkjv]He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.

†[BBE]The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.

†[GNT] When you tell the truth, justice is done, but lies lead to injustice.

†[NIV]A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies.

本会注释　　可能指说真话的习惯，即说真话像呼吸一样自然。具有这种品格的人是受正确的原则所支配（《福山宝训》第104,105页）。所以基督徒要毫不犹豫地遵守法庭的誓言（见《福山宝训》第104,105页；《历代愿望》第706,707页）。
　　反之，惯于撒谎的人即使发了誓也不讲真话。不说真话，或把真话歪曲为如同谎言的人，很快就会使有敏锐观察力的人不再相信他的话（见箴14:5,25）。

箴12:18 说话浮躁的，如刀刺人；智慧人的舌头却为医人的良药。 (串)诗57:4;59:7

†[吕]有的人说话卤莽，如刀刺人；但智慧人的舌头能医治人。

†[思]出言不慎，有如利刃伤人；智者的口，却常疗愈他人。

†[当代]出言不慎，有如利剑伤人；智者之言，却能医治创伤。

†[新译]有人说话不慎，好像利刀刺人，智慧人的舌头却能医治人。

†[Wlb]浮躁之言、如锋刃之刺、智者之舌、有疗疾之能、

†[Xdv]出言不慎如利剑伤人；言语明智如济世良药。

†[Kjv]There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

†[Nkjv]There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

†[BBE]There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.

†[GNT] Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal.

†[NIV]Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

怀爱伦注释　　言语乃有许多意义──声音和言语乃是从上帝而来的恩赐，如果把它们正确地利用起来，它们就可为上帝成为一股力量，言语乃有许多意义，它们可以向上帝表达爱心、忠诚、赞美和悦耳的声调或者是憎恶和仇恨，言语乃表露心中的情感，它们能成为活的香气叫人活和死的香气叫人死，这舌头是赐福的世界，也是罪恶的世界。（1896,40号手稿）
　　凄凉的高呼或是撒播爱的种子──有些人可从他们每日与上帝交通中看出是穿上基督温柔的衣袍。他们说话不象在凄凉地高呼而压倒他面前的一切事物，他们的话语乃甜密地从唇间说出，他们沿路都散布着爱和仁慈的种子，因为有基督活在他们心中，他们的影响力比所看到的感觉得更多。（1887,24号手稿）
本会注释　　这个比喻在原文中特别生动。刀刃又称为刀“口”。急噪的话语会伤朋友的心，造成巨大的痛苦和悲伤。不智的言辞往往会刺伤处于悲痛和苦难之中的柔嫩的心。但智慧的人知道应该说什么话来安慰悲伤的人，平息人的怒气，使灰心的人振作起来（见箴10:11；《教育论》第236,237页）。

箴12:19 口吐真言，永远坚立；舌说谎话，只存片时。 (串)诗52:3箴19:9

†[吕]说实话的咀唇永远立定；虚假的舌头、不过眨眼间。

†[思]讲实话的唇舌，永垂不朽；说谎话的舌头，瞬息即逝。

†[当代]真实的言词，永垂不朽；虚伪的谎话，转瞬消逝。

†[新译]说实话的嘴唇，永远坚立；撒谎的舌头，眨眼间消失。

†[Wlb]言诚必永立、言诳只须臾、

†[Xdv]撒谎的舌头瞬息即逝；诚实的嘴唇永垂不朽。

†[Kjv]The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

†[Nkjv]The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

†[BBE]True lips are certain for ever, but a false tongue is only for a minute.

†[GNT] A lie has a short life, but truth lives on forever.

†[NIV]Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.

怀爱伦注释　　诚实乃是衪永久的宝石──凡是一切被称为基督门徒的，应当怀着诚实和坦率的心，上帝和公义必要作为座右铭，在现代的这邪恶世界，必要以诚实与公义去对付。有些人在看到诚实并不危害及他们属世的利益时，他们也便作一诚实人，但是凡离开这原则之行为的人，他们的名字便从生命册上涂掉。
　　务须要培育严格的诚实，我们只有一次度过这世界的年日，而不能再回首改正任何错误了。所以对于各个行为都应予以虔敬恐惧，留心考查，诚实和政策是不能相和谐的，不是政策被制服而诚实处在管理地位，就是政策处在管理地位，而诚实不能操纵指导权了，此两者是不能一起行动，它们是绝不能和合一致的，当上帝收聚衪的宝石时。那真实的、坦率的、诚实的必作成衪的选民，衪的财宝。天使正在为这样的人预备冠冕……而且从上帝宝座而来的亮光必从这些镶星星宝石为装饰的壮丽冠冕上反射出它的光彩。（《评论与通讯》1896,12,29）
本会注释　　只存片时。原文是“眨眼之间”。邪恶的统治只存片时。上帝的真理是无法推翻的。就是人间的真理也能无畏地经受一切的调查。但谎言即使不是在今生，也会在将来的审判中很快被发现和揭露。连是撒但的骗局，也要在一千年结束的时候完全暴露在宇宙面前（启20:1-10；《善恶之争》第666-670页）。

箴12:20 图谋恶事的，心存诡诈；劝人和睦的，便得喜乐。

†[吕]图谋坏事的、心里有诡诈；设计社会福利的、有喜乐。

†[思]图谋恶事的，心怀欺诈；策划和平的，必得喜乐。

†[当代]图谋恶事的，心怀诡诈；为人求福的，喜乐洋溢。

†[新译]图谋恶事的，心存诡诈；使人和睦的，心中喜乐。

†[Wlb]谋恶者心存诡谲、劝和者必得喜乐、

†[Xdv]图谋恶事的，心存诡诈；促进和平的，充满喜乐。

†[Kjv]Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

†[Nkjv]Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.

†[BBE]Deceit is in the heart of those whose designs are evil, but for those purposing peace there is joy.

†[GNT] Those who plan evil are in for a rude surprise, but those who work for good will find happiness.

†[NIV]There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace.

本会注释　　图谋（charash）。KJV版是“设想”。

箴12:21 义人不遭灾害；恶人满受祸患。

†[吕]义人不能遭灾害；恶人满受祸患。

†[思]义人常无往不利，恶人却备受灾殃。

†[当代]义人无往不利，恶人备受灾殃。

†[新译]义人不会遭遇灾祸，恶人却饱经祸患。

†[Wlb]义者不遘祸、恶者有余殃、

†[Xdv]正直人无往不利；邪恶人祸患不息。

†[Kjv]There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

†[Nkjv]No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, But the wicked shall be filled with evil.

†[BBE]No trouble will come to upright men, but sinners will be full of evil.

†[GNT] Nothing bad happens to righteous people, but the wicked have nothing but trouble.

†[NIV]No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble.

本会注释　　义人不遭灾害。可能指由于上帝的介入，临到义人的灾害变成了福气（见罗8:28）。
　　祸患（ra）。常译为“邪恶”。指罪恶或灾难。参王上11:6；诗141:5。本节显然指灾难。

箴12:22 说谎言的嘴为耶和华所憎恶；行事诚实的为他所喜悦。 (串)箴6:17启22:15

†[吕]虚假的咀唇、永恒主所厌恶；忠诚行事的、他所喜悦。

†[思]欺诈的唇舌，为上主所深恶；行事诚实的，为他所中悦。

†[当代]主厌恶说谎的人，却喜爱忠诚的人。

†[新译]撒谎的嘴唇是耶和华憎恶的；行事诚实是他所喜悦的。

†[Wlb]言诳之口、为耶和华所恶、践实之人、为其所悦、

†[Xdv]撒谎的口，上主憎恨；信守诺言，他要嘉许。

†[Kjv]Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

†[Nkjv]Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.

†[BBE]False lips are hated by the Lord, but those whose acts are true are his delight.

†[GNT] The Lord hates liars, but is pleased with those who keep their word.

†[NIV]The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.

本会注释　　参箴10:31,32；12:19；13:5；16:13；17:7；雅3:5,6；启22:15；《先祖与先知》第506页。见@箴6:17；12:17@注释。

箴12:23 通达人隐藏知识；愚昧人的心彰显愚昧。 (串)箴13:16;15:2

†[吕]精明人隐藏着知识；愚顽人（传统有：的心）宣扬出愚妄。

†[思]机智的人，使自己的才学深藏不露；心中愚昧的人，只会彰显自己的愚蠢。

†[当代]智者不露锋芒；愚人自暴其短。

†[新译]精明的人隐藏自己的知识，愚昧人的心却显出愚妄。

†[Wlb]哲人隐藏其智、蠢者心播其愚、

†[Xdv]聪明人深藏才学；愚蠢人显露无知。

†[Kjv]A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

†[Nkjv]A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

†[BBE]A sharp man keeps back his knowledge; but the heart of foolish men makes clear their foolish thoughts.

†[GNT] Smart people keep quiet about what they know, but stupid people advertise their ignorance.

†[NIV]A prudent man keeps his knowledge to himself, but the heart of fools blurts out folly.

本会注释　　聪明人绝不会欺骗别人。但他谦虚又谨慎。愚昧人既无智慧，又不谦虚，想到什么就说什么（见箴12:16；13:16；15:2）。

箴12:24 殷勤人的手必掌权；懒惰的人必服苦。 (串)箴10:4

†[吕]殷勤人的手必管辖人；懒怠的人必致作苦工。

†[思]勤劳的手，必要掌权；懒慢的手，只有服役。

†[当代]辛勤劳力的人，手必掌权，懒惰的人却只配服役。

†[新译]殷勤人的手必掌权，懒惰人的手必作苦工。

†[Wlb]勤者手操其柄、惰者必服厥役、

†[Xdv]勤劳的手必然掌权；懒惰的人须服苦役。

†[Kjv]The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

†[Nkjv]The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

†[BBE]The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.

†[GNT] Hard work will give you power; being lazy will make you a slave.

†[NIV]Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.

本会注释　　懒惰带来的不是所希望的快乐，而是贫穷和痛苦。殷勤的人聪明地利用自己的时间。他们肯定会超过懒惰的人。

箴12:25 人心忧虑，屈而不伸；一句良言，使心欢乐。 (串)箴15:13|赛50:4

†[吕]有挂虑在人心里就使他垂头丧气；一句好话能使他欢喜。

†[思]忧郁使人心消沉，良言使人心快活。

†[当代]忧虑的心思容易使人消沉；一句鼓励的话却能振奋人心。

†[新译]心中忧虑，使人消沉；一句良言使他欢喜。

†[Wlb]人心怀忧则抑郁、惟闻善言则欢娱、

†[Xdv]忧虑使人消沉；良言使人振奋。

†[Kjv]Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

†[Nkjv]Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.

†[BBE]Care in the heart of a man makes it weighted down, but a good word makes it glad.

†[GNT] Worry can rob you of happiness, but kind words will cheer you up.

†[NIV]An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.

本会注释　　忧虑的心无法感受基督所承诺的平安。忧虑就是对上帝缺乏信心（见诗37:1-11；太6:34；彼前5:7；《先祖与先知》第294页）。希望和鼓励的话，以及劝人信靠上帝的应许，能大大地减轻人的重担（见赛35:3,4）。

箴12:26 义人引导他的邻舍；恶人的道叫人失迷。

†[吕]义人转离了坏事（传统似可译：‘寻觅出他的朋友’或‘草场’）；恶人所行的、使他们走迷了路。

†[思]义人给自己的友伴指示道路，恶人的行动却引人误入歧途。

†[当代]义人指引他人迷津，恶人却使人走入歧途。

†[新译]义人作自己邻舍的引导；恶人的道路，却使别人走迷。

†[Wlb]义者为邻先导、恶者所行、使之迷途、

†[Xdv]义人是邻舍的良师益友；邪恶人往往深入迷途。

†[Kjv]The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

†[Nkjv]The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.

†[BBE]The upright man is a guide to his neighbour, but the way of evil-doers is a cause of error to them.

†[GNT] The righteous person is a guide to his friend, but the path of the wicked leads them astray.

†[NIV]A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

本会注释　　本节原文的含义不很明确。前半句可译为“义人寻找自己的朋友”，或“义人找出自己的草地”。后半句的意思很清楚。恶人的道黑暗而布满骗局。他自己也要毁灭，根本无法引导别人走正路（见太15:14）。

箴12:27 懒惰的人不烤打猎所得的；殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物。

†[吕]懒怠人不肯发落打着了的兽；殷勤人却得到宝贵（传统将‘人’与‘宝贵’互换位置）的财物。

†[思]懒惰的人，无米为炊；勤劳的人，腰缠万贯。

†[当代]懒惰的人，不善用资源；勤劳的人，珍惜一切所有。

†[新译]懒惰的人不去烧烤他的猎物，殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物（“殷勤的人却得宝贵的财物”或译：“人宝贵的财物是殷勤”）。

†[Wlb]惰者不燔所猎、勤者所宝维勤、

†[Xdv]懒惰人无法如愿以偿；勤劳人却广有资财。

†[Kjv]The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

†[Nkjv]The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man's precious possession.

†[BBE]He who is slow in his work does not go in search of food; but the ready worker gets much wealth.

†[GNT] If you are lazy, you will never get what you are after, but if you work hard, you will get a fortune.

†[NIV]The lazy man does not roast his game, but the diligent man prizes his possessions.

本会注释　　不清楚究竟指懒人不去拿他追捕的猎物，还是不愿意烤自己所捕获的猎物。也不清楚后半句的财物是指殷勤，还是殷勤的结果，还是殷勤的人本身。本节含所有上述的意思，所以都是对的。

箴12:28 在公义的道上有生命；其路之中并无死亡。

†[吕]在公义的路径上有生命；可憎恶的道路引到（传统：不可）早死。

†[思]正义的路，导向生命；邪恶的路，引人丧亡。

†[当代]正义的路，导向生命，其路之上并无死亡。

†[新译]在公义的路上有生命，这路径之上没有死亡（“这路径之上没有死亡”有古译本作“邪恶的路，引到死亡”）。

†[Wlb]义路有生命、其途无死亡、

†[Xdv]正义是导向生命之路；邪恶为趋向死亡之途。

†[Kjv]In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

†[Nkjv]In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.

†[BBE]In the road of righteousness is life, but the way of the evil-doer goes to death.

†[GNT] Righteousness is the road to life; wickedness is the road to death.

†[NIV]In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.

本会注释　　今日和所罗门说这句话的时候一样，和以色列在基利心山和以巴路山面临选择的时候也一样，选择圣洁的道路就是选择生命之路（见申27；28；30:15-20；太19:17）。
