Whether a man be rich or poor, A good heart makes at all times a cheerful countenance.
人無論貧富,存美善之心便能時常面帶喜色。
26:5
Atribustimuitcormeum, etinquartofaciesmeametuit :
Of three things my heart was afraid; And concerning the fourth kind I made supplication: The slander of a city, and the assembly of a multitude, and a false accusation: All these are more grievous than death.
有三樣事使我心懼怕,第四樣使我懇切祈求:城中的毀謗、羣眾的聚集、虛假的指控;這一切都比死更難當。
26:6
delaturamcivitatis, etcollectionempopuli :
A grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous of another woman, And the scourge of a tongue communicating to all.
嫉妒別的女子的妻子,是心頭之痛與憂傷,又是向眾人傳布的舌頭之災。
26:7
calumniammendacemsupermortemomniagravia :
A wicked woman is as a yoke of oxen shaken to and fro: He that takes hold of her is as one that graspeth a scorpion.
惡毒的妻子如同搖晃不定的牛軛,駕馭她的如同抓住蠍子的人。
26:8
dolorcordisetluctus, mulierzelotypa.
A drunken woman causes great wrath; And she will not cover her own shame.
She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller, And drink of every water that is near: At every post will she sit down, And open her quiver against any arrow.
For two things my heart is grieved; And for the third anger comes upon me: A man of war that suffers for poverty; And men of understanding that are counted as refuse: One that turns back from righteousness to sin; The Lord will prepare him for the sword.
