9:12 [hgb]  你 若 有 智 慧 ， 是 与 自 己 有 益 。 你 若 亵 慢 ， 就 必 独 自 担 当 。 
    [kjv]  If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
    [bbe]  If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.
9:13 [hgb]  愚 昧 的 妇 人 喧 嚷 。 她 是 愚 蒙 ， 一 无 所 知 。
