Chapter 3

3:1 [hgb]  我 儿 ， 不 要 忘 记 我 的 法 则 。 （ 或 作 指 教 ） 你 心 要 谨 守 我 的 诫 命 。 
    [kjv]  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
    [bbe]  My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:
3:2 [hgb]  因 为 他 必 将 长 久 的 日 子 ， 生 命 的 年 数 ， 与 平 安 ， 加 给 你 。 
    [kjv]  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
    [bbe]  For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.
3:3 [hgb]  不 可 使 慈 爱 诚 实 离 开 你 。 要 系 在 你 颈 项 上 ， 刻 在 你 心 版 上 。 
    [kjv]  Let not mercy and truth forsake¹ thee: bind² them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
    [bbe]  Let not mercy and good faith go from you; let them be hanging round your neck, recorded on your heart;
3:4 [hgb]  这 样 ， 你 必 在 神 和 世 人 眼 前 蒙 恩 宠 ， 有 聪 明 。 
    [kjv]  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
    [bbe]  So you will have grace and a good name in the eyes of God and men.
3:5 [hgb]  你 要 专 心 仰 赖 耶 和 华 ， 不 可 倚 靠 自 己 的 聪 明 。 
    [kjv]  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
    [bbe]  Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.
3:6 [hgb]  在 你 一 切 所 行 的 事 上 ， 都 要 认 定 他 ， 他 必 指 引 你 的 路 。 
    [kjv]  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
    [bbe]  In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.
3:7 [hgb]  不 要 自 以 为 有 智 慧 。 要 敬 畏 耶 和 华 ， 远 离 恶 事 。 
    [kjv]  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
    [bbe]  Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:
3:8 [hgb]  这 便 医 治 你 的 肚 脐 ， 滋 润 你 的 百 骨 。 
    [kjv]  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow³ to thy bones.
    [bbe]  This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.
3:9 [hgb]  你 要 以 财 物 ， 和 一 切 初 熟 的 土 产 ， 尊 荣 耶 和 华 。 
    [kjv]  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
    [bbe]  Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:
3:10 [hgb]  这 样 ， 你 的 仓 房 ， 必 充 满 有 余 ， 你 的 酒 榨 ， 有 新 酒 盈 溢 。 
    [kjv]  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
    [bbe]  So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels⁴ overflowing⁵ with new wine.
3:11 [hgb]  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 。 
    [kjv]  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
    [bbe]  My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:
3:12 [hgb]  因 为 耶 和 华 所 爱 的 ， 他 必 责 备 。 正 如 父 亲 责 备 所 喜 爱 的 儿 子 。 
    [kjv]  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
    [bbe]  For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.
3:13 [hgb]  得 智 慧 ， 得 聪 明 的 ， 这 人 便 为 有 福 。 
    [kjv]  Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
    [bbe]  Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.
3:14 [hgb]  因 为 得 智 慧 胜 过 得 银 子 ， 其 利 益 强 如 精 金 。 
    [kjv]  For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
    [bbe]  For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.
3:15 [hgb]  比 珍 珠 （ 或 作 红 宝 石 ） 宝 贵 。 你 一 切 所 喜 爱 的 ， 都 不 足 与 比 较 。 
    [kjv]  She is more precious than rubies⁶: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
    [bbe]  She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.
3:16 [hgb]  他 右 手 有 长 寿 。 左 手 有 富 贵 。 
    [kjv]  Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
    [bbe]  Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.
3:17 [hgb]  他 的 道 是 安 乐 ， 他 的 路 全 是 平 安 。 
    [kjv]  Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
    [bbe]  Her ways are ways of delight, and all her goings are peace.
3:18 [hgb]  他 与 持 守 他 的 作 生 命 树 。 持 定 他 的 俱 各 有 福 。 
    [kjv]  She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
    [bbe]  She is a tree of life to all who take her in their hands, and happy is everyone who keeps her.
3:19 [hgb]  耶 和 华 以 智 慧 立 地 。 以 聪 明 定 天 。 
    [kjv]  The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
    [bbe]  The Lord by wisdom put in position the bases of the earth; by reason he put the heavens in their place.
3:20 [hgb]  以 知 识 使 深 渊 裂 开 ， 使 天 空 滴 下 甘 露 。 
    [kjv]  By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
    [bbe]  By his knowledge the deep was parted, and dew came dropping from the skies.
3:21 [hgb]  我 儿 ， 要 谨 守 真 智 慧 和 谋 略 。 不 可 使 他 离 开 你 的 眼 目 。 
    [kjv]  My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion⁷:
    [bbe]  My son, keep good sense, and do not let wise purpose go from your eyes.
3:22 [hgb]  这 样 ， 他 必 作 你 的 生 命 ， 颈 项 的 美 饰 。 
    [kjv]  So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
    [bbe]  So they will be life for your soul, and grace for your neck.
3:23 [hgb]  你 就 坦 然 行 路 ， 不 至 碰 脚 。 
    [kjv]  Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
    [bbe]  Then you will go safely on your way, and your feet will have no cause for slipping.
3:24 [hgb]  你 躺 下 ， 必 不 惧 怕 。 你 躺 卧 ， 睡 得 香 甜 。 
    [kjv]  When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
    [bbe]  When you take your rest you will have no fear, and on your bed sleep will be sweet to you.
3:25 [hgb]  忽 然 来 的 惊 恐 ， 不 要 害 怕 。 恶 人 遭 毁 灭 ， 也 不 要 恐 惧 。 
    [kjv]  Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
    [bbe]  Have no fear of sudden danger, or of the storm which will come on evil-doers:
3:26 [hgb]  因 为 耶 和 华 是 你 所 倚 靠 的 。 他 必 保 守 你 的 脚 不 陷 入 网 罗 。 
    [kjv]  For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
    [bbe]  For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.
3:27 [hgb]  你 手 若 有 行 善 的 力 量 ， 不 可 推 辞 ， 就 当 向 那 应 得 的 人 施 行 。 
    [kjv]  Withhold⁸ not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
    [bbe]  Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
3:28 [hgb]  你 那 里 若 有 现 成 的 ， 不 可 对 邻 舍 说 ， 去 吧 ， 明 天 再 来 ， 我 必 给 你 。 
    [kjv]  Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
    [bbe]  Say not to your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you at the time.
