舊約 -- 箴言(Proverbs) -- 第18章
18：1 與眾寡合的，獨(dú)自尋求心愿，并惱恨一切真智慧。
Through desire a man， having separated himself， seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
18：2 愚昧人不喜愛(ài)明哲，只喜愛(ài)顯露心意。
A fool hath no delight in understanding， but that his heart may discover itself.

When the wicked cometh， then cometh also contempt， and with ignominy reproach.
18：4 人口中的言語(yǔ)，如同深水。智慧的泉源，好像涌流的河水。
The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters， and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
18：5 瞻徇惡人的情面，偏斷義人的案件，都為不善。
It is not good to accept the person of the wicked， to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

A fool's lips enter into contention， and his mouth calleth for strokes.

A fool's mouth is his destruction， and his lips are the snare of his soul.
18：8 傳舌人的言語(yǔ)，如同美食，深入人的心腹。
The words of a talebearer are as wounds， and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
18：9 作工懈怠的，與浪費(fèi)人為弟兄。
He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
18：10 耶和華的名，是堅(jiān)固臺(tái)。義人奔入，便得安穩(wěn)。
The name of the LORD is a strong tower： the righteous runneth into it， and is safe.
18：11 富足人的財(cái)物，是他的堅(jiān)城，在他心想，猶如高墻。
The rich man's wealth is his strong city， and as an high wall in his own conceit.
18：12 敗壞之先，人心驕傲。尊榮以前，必有謙卑。
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty， and before honour is humility.
18：13 未曾聽(tīng)完先回答的，便是他的愚昧，和羞辱。
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it， it is folly and shame unto him.
18：14 人有疾病，心能忍耐。心靈憂傷，誰(shuí)能承當(dāng)呢。
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity； but a wounded spirit who can bear？

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge； and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

A man's gift maketh room for him， and bringeth him before great men.

He that is first in his own cause seemeth just； but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18：18 掣簽?zāi)苤瓜?zhēng)競(jìng)，也能解散強(qiáng)勝的人。
The lot causeth contentions to cease， and parteth between the mighty.
18：19 弟兄結(jié)怨，勸他和好，比取堅(jiān)固城還難。這樣的爭(zhēng)競(jìng)，如同堅(jiān)寨的門(mén)閂。
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city： and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
18：20 人口中所結(jié)的果子，必充滿肚腹。他嘴所出的，必使他飽足。
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth； and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue： and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
