τέκνον ἥμαρτες μὴ προσθῇς μηκέτι καὶ περὶ τῶν προτέρων σου δεήθητι
孩子啊，你犯了罪嗎？不要再犯，並要為你從前的罪祈求。
My son, have you sinned? add no more thereto; And make supplication for your former sins.
21:2
ὡς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὄφεως φεῦγε ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας ἐὰν γὰρ προσέλθῃς δήξεταί σε ὀδόντες λέοντος οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῆς ἀναιροῦντες ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων
要逃避罪惡，如同逃避蛇面；你若就近它，它必咬你；它的牙如獅子的牙，能殺滅人的性命。
Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent; For if you draw near it will bite you: The teeth thereof are the teeth of a lion, Slaying the souls of men.

Supplication from a poor man’s mouth reaches to the ears of God, And his judgement comes speedily.

μισῶν ἐλεγμὸν ἐν ἴχνει ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ ὁ φοβούμενος κύριον ἐπιστρέψει ἐν καρδίᾳ

One that hates reproof is in the path of the sinner; And he that fears the Lord will turn again in his heart.
21:7
γνωστὸς μακρόθεν ὁ δυνατὸς ἐν γλώσσῃ ὁ δὲ νοήμων οἶδεν ἐν τῷ ὀλισθάνειν αὐτόν

He that is mighty in tongue is known afar off: But the man of understanding knows when he slips.

ὁ οἰκοδομῶν τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ ἐν χρήμασιν ἀλλοτρίοις ὡς συνάγων αὐτοῦ τοὺς λίθους εἰς χειμῶνα

The way of sinners is made smooth with stones; And at the last end thereof is the pit of Hades.

He that is not clever will not be instructed; And there is a cleverness which makes bitterness to abound.

有見識的人聽見智慧之言，便稱讚它，並有所增益；放縱的人聽了卻不喜悅，便把它丟在背後。
If a man of knowledge hear a wise word, He will commend it, and add to it: The dissolute man hears it, and it displeases him, And he puts it away behind his back.

ὡς οἶκος ἠφανισμένος οὕτως μωρῷ σοφία καὶ γνῶσις ἀσυνέτου ἀδιεξέταστοι λόγοι
如同毀壞的房屋，智慧對愚人也是如此；無知者的知識不過是無意義的言語。
As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool; And the knowledge of an unwise man is as talk without sense.
21:19
πέδαι ἐν ποσὶν ἀνοήτου παιδεία καὶ ὡς χειροπέδαι ἐπὶ χειρὸς δεξιᾶς

A foolish man peepeth in from the door of another man’s house; But a man that is instructed will stand without.
21:24
ἀπαιδευσία ἀνθρώπου ἀκροᾶσθαι παρὰ θύραν ὁ δὲ φρόνιμος βαρυνθήσεται ἀτιμίᾳ
在門口偷聽是人缺乏教養的表現，明智人卻以這羞辱為苦。
It is a lack of instruction in a man to listen at the door; But the prudent man will be grieved with the disgrace.
21:25
χείλη ἀλλοτρίων ἐν τούτοις διηγήσονται λόγοι δὲ φρονίμων ἐν ζυγῷ σταθήσονται
