| 3:1 | 我儿，不要忘记我的法则（或作“指教”），你心要谨守我的诫命。
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: |
|
| 3:2 | 因为他必将长久的日子、生命的年数与平安，加给你。
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. |
|
| 3:3 | 不可使慈爱诚实离开你。要系在你颈项上，刻在你心版上。
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: |
|
| 3:4 | 这样，你必在神和世人眼前蒙恩宠，有聪明。
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. |
|
| 3:5 | 你要专心仰赖耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明。
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. |
|
| 3:6 | 在你一切所行的事上，都要认定他，他必指引你的路。
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. |
|
| 3:7 | 不要自以为有智慧。要敬畏耶和华，远离恶事。
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. |
|
| 3:8 | 这便医治你的肚脐，滋润你的百骨。
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. |
|
| 3:9 | 你要以财物和一切初熟的土产，尊荣耶和华。
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: |
|
| 3:10 | 这样，你的仓房，必充满有余，你的酒醡，有新酒盈溢。
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. |
|
| 3:11 | 我儿，你不可轻看耶和华的管教（或作“惩治”），也不可厌烦他的责备。
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: |
|
| 3:12 | 因为耶和华所爱的，他必责备。正如父亲责备所喜爱的儿子。
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. |
|
| 3:13 | 得智慧、得聪明的，这人便为有福。
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. |
|
| 3:14 | 因为得智慧胜过得银子，其利益强如精金。
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. |
|
| 3:15 | 比珍珠（或作“红宝石”）宝贵，你一切所喜爱的，都不足与比较。
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. |
|
| 3:16 | 她右手有长寿，左手有富贵。
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. |
|
| 3:17 | 她的道是安乐，她的路全是平安。
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. |
|
| 3:18 | 她与持守她的作生命树，持定她的俱各有福。
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. |
|
| 3:19 | 耶和华以智慧立地，以聪明定天，
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. |
|
| 3:20 | 以知识使深渊裂开，使天空滴下甘露。
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. |
|
| 3:21 | 我儿，要谨守真智慧和谋略，不可使她离开你的眼目。
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: |
|
| 3:22 | 这样，她必作你的生命，颈项的美饰。
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. |
|
| 3:23 | 你就坦然行路，不至碰脚。
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. |
|
| 3:24 | 你躺下，必不惧怕。你躺卧，睡得香甜。
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. |
|
| 3:25 | 忽然来的惊恐，不要害怕。恶人遭毁灭，也不要恐惧。
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. |
|
| 3:26 | 因为耶和华是你所倚靠的。他必保守你的脚不陷入网罗。
For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. |
|
| 3:27 | 你手若有行善的力量，不可推辞，就当向那应得的人施行。
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. |
|
| 3:28 | 你那里若有现成的，不可对邻舍说：去吧，明天再来，我必给你。
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. |
|
| 3:29 | 你的邻舍，既在你附近安居，你不可设计害他。
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. |
|
| 3:30 | 人未曾加害与你，不可无故与他相争。
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. |
|
| 3:31 | 不可嫉妒强暴的人，也不可选择他所行的路。
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. |
|
| 3:32 | 因为乖僻人为耶和华所憎恶。正直人为他所亲密。
For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous. |
|
| 3:33 | 耶和华咒诅恶人的家庭，赐福与义人的居所。
The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. |
|
| 3:34 | 他讥诮那好讥诮的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. |
|
| 3:35 | 智慧人必承受尊荣。愚昧人高升也成为羞辱。
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools. |
