Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
1与众寡合的，独自寻求心愿， 并恼恨一切真智慧。
2A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
2愚昧人不喜爱明哲， 只喜爱显露心意。
3The wicked man when he is come into the depth of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.
3恶人来，藐视随来； 羞耻到，辱骂同到。
4Words from the mouth of a men are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom as an overflowing stream.
4人口中的言语如同深水； 智慧的泉源好像涌流的河水。
5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.
5瞻徇恶人的情面， 偏断义人的案件，都为不善。
6The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
6愚昧人张嘴启争端， 开口招鞭打。
7The mouth of a fool is his destruction: and his lips are the ruin of his soul.
7愚昧人的口自取败坏； 他的嘴是他生命的网罗。
8The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.
8传舌人的言语如同美食， 深入人的心腹。
9He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works.
9做工懈怠的， 与浪费人为弟兄。
10The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.
10耶和华的名是坚固台； 义人奔入便得安稳。
11The substance of the rich man is the city of his strength, and as a strong wall compassing him about.
11富足人的财物是他的坚城， 在他心想，犹如高墙。
12Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
12败坏之先，人心骄傲； 尊荣以前，必有谦卑。
13He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.
13未曾听完先回答的， 便是他的愚昧和羞辱。
14The spirit of a man upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear?
14人有疾病，心能忍耐； 心灵忧伤，谁能承当呢？
15A wise heart shall acquire knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh instruction.
15聪明人的心得知识； 智慧人的耳求知识。
16A man’s gift enlargeth his may, and maketh him room before princes.
16人的礼物为他开路， 引他到高位的人面前。
17The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
17先诉情由的，似乎有理； 但邻舍来到，就察出实情。
18The lot suppresseth contentions, and determineth even between the mighty.
18掣签能止息争竞， 也能解散强胜的人。
19A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.
19弟兄结怨， 劝他和好 ，比取坚固城还难； 这样的 争竞如同坚寨的门闩。
20Of the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.
20人口中所结的果子，必充满肚腹； 他嘴所出的，必使他饱足。
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
21生死在舌头的权下， 喜爱它的，必吃它所结的果子。
22He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked.
22得着 贤 妻的，是得着好处， 也是蒙了耶和华的恩惠。
23The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
23贫穷人说哀求的话； 富足人用威吓的话回答。
24A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.
24滥交朋友的，自取败坏； 但有一朋友比弟兄更亲密。
