1. 1.有许多人为了一点小利就犯了罪，凡是想要发财的人都闭着眼睛。Many have committed sin for a trifle, and whoever seeks to get rich will avert his eyes.💡
2. 2.就像桩子牢固地插入石头之间的裂缝一样，罪恶就这样卡在买卖之间。As a stake is driven firmly into a fissure between stones, so sin is wedged in between selling and buying.💡
3. 3.如果一个人不坚定而热心地敬畏上帝，他的家就会很快被倾覆。If a man is not steadfast and zealous in the fear of the Lord, his house will be quickly overthrown.💡
4. 4.生命中的试炼 当筛子被摇动时，渣滓仍留在里面；同样，人的污秽仍留在他的思想中。Tests in Life When a sieve is shaken, the refuse remains; so a man’s filth remains in his thoughts.💡
5. 5.窑炉试验陶工的器皿，人的试验在于他的思维。The kiln tests the potter’s vessels; so the test of a man is in his reasoning.💡
6. 6.果实揭示了树的修养，一个人的思想表达同样揭示了他心灵的修养。The fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree; so the expression of a thought discloses the cultivation of a man’s mind.💡
7. 7.不要在听他讲道理之前就夸赞某人，因为这是考验一个人的方法。Do not praise a man before you hear him reason, for this is the test of men.💡
8. 8.报应 如果你追求公义，你就会达到它，并且穿上它作为荣耀的长袍Reward and Retribution If you pursue justice, you will attain it and wear it as a glorious robe.💡

10. 10.狮子潜伏等待猎物，罪恶也潜伏等待作恶的人。A lion lies in wait for prey; so does sin for the workers of iniquity.💡

14. 14.那些常常说谎骂人的人的谈话使人毛骨悚然，他们的争论使人堵住耳朵。The talk of men given to swearing makes one’s hair stand on end, and their quarrels make a man stop his ears.💡
15. 15.骄傲人的争竞导致流血，他们的辱骂令人痛听。The strife of the proud leads to bloodshed, and their abuse is grievous to hear.💡
16. 16.泄露秘密的人会破坏信任，他永远也找不到一个真正的朋友。Betraying Secrets Whoever betrays secrets destroys confidence, and he will never find a congenial friend.💡

18. 18.因为人要毁灭他的敌人，你却毁灭了你邻居的友谊。For as a man destroys his enemy, so you have destroyed the friendship of your neighbor.💡
19. 19.当你放开手让鸟飞去的时候，你也这样让你的邻居自由离去，不再抓住他。And as you allow a bird to escape from your hand, so you have let your neighbor go, and will not catch him again.💡
20. 20.不要追赶他，因为他已经走得很远，而且像羚羊从网中逃脱一样逃跑了。Do not go after him, for he is too far off, and has escaped like a gazelle from a snare.💡
21. 21.伤口可以用绷带包扎，虐待后可以得到调解，但泄露秘密的人却是没有希望的。For a wound may be bandaged, and there is reconciliation after abuse, but whoever has betrayed secrets is without hope.💡

23. 23.在你面前，他的口才是全部的甜蜜，他也赞赏你的言语，但后来他会扭曲他的言语，并用你的言语来冒犯你。In your presence his mouth is all sweetness, and he admires your words; but later he will twist his speech and with your own words he will give offense.💡
24. 24.我曾经恨过很多事情，但没有一样能与他相比，即使是上帝也会憎恨他。I have hated many things, but none to be compared to him; even the Lord will hate him.💡
25. 25.无论谁将石头直直地向上抛去，石头必落在他的头上；背叛的打击也会使人受伤。Whoever throws a stone straight up throws it on his own head; and a treacherous blow opens up wounds.💡
