圣经箴言

2:1 我儿，你若领受我的言语，存记我的命令，

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

2:2 侧耳听智慧，专心求聪明，

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

2:3 呼求明哲，扬声求聪明，

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

2:4 寻找它，如寻找银子，搜求它，如搜求隐藏的珍宝，

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

2:5 你就明白敬畏耶和华，得以认识 神。

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

2:6 因为耶和华赐人智慧，知识和聪明都由他口而出。

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

2:7 他给正直人存留真智慧，给行为纯正的人作盾牌，

He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

2:10 智慧必入你心，你的灵要以知识为美。

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

2:11 谋略必护卫你，聪明必保守你，

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

2:20 智慧必使你行善人的道，守义人的路。

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

2:22 惟有恶人必然剪除，奸诈的必然拔出。

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
