1 The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

2 To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:

3 To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:

4 To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:

5 (The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:)

6 To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.

7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.

1 大卫的儿子以色列王所罗门的箴言：

2 要使人晓得智慧和教训， 了解充满哲理的言语；

3 使人领受明慧的教训， 就是公义、公正和正直；

4 使愚蒙人变成精明， 使少年人获得知识和明辨的能力；

5 使智慧人听了， 可以增长学问， 使聪明人听了， 可以获得智谋；

6 使人明白箴言和譬喻， 懂得智慧人的言词和他们的隐语。

7 敬畏耶和华是知识的开端， 但愚妄人藐视智慧和教训。
