箴言第29章

《圣经》箴言-第29章

箴29:1 人屡次受责罚，仍然硬着颈项；他必顷刻败坏，无法可治。 (串)代下36:16箴6:15

†[吕]屡次受责罚、仍然硬着脖子的、顷刻间必破败，无没可治。

†[思]人若屡受谴责，仍然顽固，他必突然丧亡，无法挽救。

†[当代]屡劝不改，硬著脖子的人，终必突然溃败，无可救药。

†[新译]人屡次受责备，仍然硬着颈项，他必突然毁灭，无法挽救。

†[Wlb]屡受斥责、仍复强项、败亡必速、无术可治、

†[Xdv]越受责罚而越顽固的人会突然败亡，无可挽救。

†[Kjv]He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

†[Nkjv]He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

†[BBE]A man hating sharp words and making his heart hard, will suddenly be broken and will not be made well again.

†[GNT] If you get more stubborn every time you are corrected, one day you will be crushed and never recover.

†[NIV]A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed-without remedy.

怀爱伦注释　　拒绝责备导致心灵的损害──撒但要激动人心放纵情欲，并使人常行走他们自己的道路。不论什么事，他以劝告或责备提供给他们来改变他们所讨厌的品格特性，这就是要予以考虑和注意的那些喜爱吹毛求疵的人，他们应当要受到约束和制止。以免他们能自由行动，上帝凭着衪的大怜悯而差遣使者警告他们，但他们并不听取责备，好像那背叛上天的仇敌一样，他们不喜欢听，也不改正他们的错行，但却成为控告人的，并宣称自己是受虐待和不受赏识的人。
　　现在正是受试炼和检验的时期，那些象扫罗一样的人必坚持行走他们自己的道路，必要遭受象他所遭受的，他失去了尊荣，而在最后竟丧掉生命。（1892,13号信件）
本会注释　　人屡次受责罚。直译是“常受责备的人”。上帝的长期忍耐给了罪人悔改罪行的宽容时期。如果他们继续硬着颈项，不肯负基督“容易”的轭（太11:30），让上帝的怜悯保护他们免受犯罪的后果，他们的灾难和毁灭就会突然临到（见箴6:15；15:10；耶19:15；来10:26-30）。

箴29:2 义人增多，民就喜乐；恶人掌权，民就叹息。 (串)斯8:15箴11:10|斯3:15

†[吕]义人执政（传统：增多），人民就喜乐；恶人掌权，人民就叹息。

†[思]义人执政，人民喜庆；恶人专权，人民叹息。

†[当代]义人执政，万众欢腾；恶人当道，人民叹息。

†[新译]义人增多的时候，人民就喜乐；恶人掌权的时候，人民就叹息。

†[Wlb]义者秉权、庶民欣喜、恶人操柄、亿兆咨嗟、

†[Xdv]明主治国，人民欢乐；暴君当权，人民悲叹。

†[Kjv]When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

†[Nkjv]When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

†[BBE]When the upright have power, the people are glad; when an evil man is ruler, grief comes on the people.

†[GNT] Show me a righteous ruler and I will show you a happy people. Show me a wicked ruler and I will show you a miserable people.

†[NIV]When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

本会注释　　指增多了的义人掌权。当义人有机会兴旺时，人人都有自由而不受束缚。义人掌权时就更是这样了（见箴11:10；28:12,28）。

箴29:3 爱慕智慧的，使父亲喜乐；与妓女结交的，却浪费钱财。 (串)箴10:1;15:20|箴5:9,10路15:13,30

†[吕]爱慕智慧的、使父亲喜乐；跟妓女结交的、浪费钱财。

†[思]喜爱智慧的，使父亲喜悦；寻花问柳的，必倾家荡产。

†[当代]爱慕智慧的，能叫父亲欢欣；结交妓女的，终必耗尽钱财。

†[新译]喜爱智慧的，使父亲喜乐；亲近妓女的，耗尽家财。

†[Wlb]好智者悦父、狎妓者伤财、

†[Xdv]爱慕智慧的，父亲喜慰；结交娼妓的，倾家荡产。

†[Kjv]Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

†[Nkjv]Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.

†[BBE]A man who is a lover of wisdom is a joy to his father: but he who goes in the company of loose women is a waster of wealth.

†[GNT] If you appreciate wisdom, your parents will be proud of you. It is a foolish waste to spend money on prostitutes.

†[NIV]A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

本会注释　　儿子爱慕智慧，父亲能不高兴吗？有人可能抱怨学得太多。但义人追求智慧是没有止境的。堕落的儿子会浪费自己的一切。他挥霍健康和体力，放荡到半夜，在酒精的影响下，智慧和知识完全消失（见路15:13）。

箴29:4 王藉公平，使国坚定；索要贿赂，使国倾败。

†[吕]王以公平使国立定；一个逼索税贡的、使国翻毁。

†[思]君王秉公行义，必将兴邦；但若暴敛横徵，必将丧邦。

†[当代]君王以公平治国，使国家安定，贪赃枉法的人，使国倾覆。

†[新译]君王以公正使国坚立；收受贿赂的，使国覆亡。

†[Wlb]王秉公义、使国坚立、索贿者倾覆之、

†[Xdv]君王秉公行义，国必强盛；贪污腐败，国必败亡。

†[Kjv]The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

†[Nkjv]The king establishes the land by justice, But he who receives bribes overthrows it.

†[BBE]A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste.

†[GNT] When the king is concerned with justice, the nation will be strong, but when he is only concerned with money, he will ruin his country.

†[NIV]By justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down.

本会注释　　使国坚定。没有什么比不公平更能破坏安定的了。如果一个人在统治者手中无辜受苦，他可能就觉得行义是得不偿失的。于是他自己也可能走上犯罪的道路。甚至那些没有效法统治者腐败的人，也不愿意尽力行善了。
　　贿赂（terumoth）。在其他地方指献祭或捐献。这里可能指统治者所强求的供奉。“索要贿赂”直译为“与捐献有关的人”，有多种解释。不知道所罗门指的是行贿还是索贿的人，或是指统治者神那样索要供奉。

箴29:5 谄媚邻舍的，就是设网罗绊他的脚。

†[吕]人以谄媚引诱邻舍，是设罗网去绊他的脚步。

†[思]对自己的友伴阿谀的人，是在他脚下张设罗网。

†[当代]奉承邻舍的，就是张设罗网来羁绊他。

†[新译]谄媚邻舍的人，是在他的脚下张设网罗。

†[Wlb]谄谀邻里、乃投网罗、以绊其足、

†[Xdv]谄媚邻舍，无异为你自己（或译：他）张开罗网。

†[Kjv]A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

†[Nkjv]A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet.

†[BBE]A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps.

†[GNT] If you flatter your friends, you set a trap for yourself.

†[NIV]Whoever flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet.

本会注释　　抵制奉承并不容易，特别是当邻舍为了个人利益而奉承你时。即使在今生的事务上，也有许多人在花言巧语的影响下，作出了愚蠢的决定（箴26:28；28:23；《天路》第161,162页）。

箴29:6 恶人犯罪，自陷网罗；惟独义人欢呼喜乐。

†[吕]坏人的过犯中有网罗缠住自己；惟独义人能奔跑（传统：欢呼）、欢喜快乐。

†[思]作恶的人，满路绊索；正义的人，载欣载奔。

†[当代]恶人作孽，自陷罗网；义人却常常欢喜快乐。

†[新译]恶人因为过犯，陷于网罗；义人却欢呼喜乐。

†[Wlb]恶人犯罪、内伏网罗、惟彼义人、欢呼喜乐、

†[Xdv]邪恶人掉在罪恶陷阱里；正直人却过自由快乐的生活。

†[Kjv]In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

†[Nkjv]By transgression an evil man is snared, But the righteous sings and rejoices.

†[BBE]In the steps of an evil man there is a net for him, but the upright man gets away quickly and is glad.

†[GNT] Evil people are trapped in their own sins, while honest people are happy and free.

†[NIV]An evil man is snared by his own sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad.

本会注释　　罪人不知不觉地自投网罗。等到他发现，已为时太晚。义人欢乐歌唱，因为上帝赐给他智慧和力量抵制罪恶，并自由地前往天国（见箴12:13；18:7；24:16）。网罗易进而难出。恶习也是这样。如果没有上帝的帮助，罪人软弱的意志是无法挣脱捆绑他的绳索的。仇敌的目的就是用他狡猾而难以觉察的网罗控制他的受害者，直到他想挣脱和逃走也来不及了。

箴29:7 义人知道查明穷人的案；恶人没有聪明，就不得而知。 (串)伯29:16箴31:8,9

†[吕]义人知照贫寒人的案件；恶人不晓得知照困苦人。

†[思]义人关注穷人的案情，但是恶人却毫不知情。

†[当代]义人关怀穷人的权益，恶人却不晓得有这回事。

†[新译]义人关注穷人的冤情；恶人却不分辨实情。

†[Wlb]贫者构讼、义者察之、恶人乏识、不达其义、

†[Xdv]义人尊重穷人的权利；邪恶人没有这样的同情心。

†[Kjv]The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

†[Nkjv]The righteous considers the cause of the poor, But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.

†[BBE]The upright man gives attention to the cause of the poor: the evil-doer gives no thought to it.

†[GNT] A good person knows the rights of the poor, but wicked people cannot understand such things.

†[NIV]The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

本会注释　　案（din）。这是司法用语。义人在法庭中支持穷人的案子（见伯29:12,16）。恶人对于案情的是非则不在乎。

箴29:8 亵慢人煽惑通城；智慧人止息众怒。 (串)箴11:11|结22:30

†[吕]亵慢人喷吐怒火于城中；智慧人却止息众怒。

†[思]轻狂的人，煽动城市作乱；明智的人，设法挽回狂澜。

†[当代]傲慢的人只会煽风点火，明智的人却懂得平息众怒。

†[新译]好讥笑人的煽动全城骚乱，智慧人却止息众怒。

†[Wlb]侮慢者鼓煽城邑、智慧者止息忿怒、

†[Xdv]狂妄人煽动城市作乱；明智人维护地方安宁。

†[Kjv]Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

†[Nkjv]Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath.

†[BBE]Men of pride are the cause of violent acts in a town, but by wise men wrath is turned away.

†[GNT] People with no regard for others can throw whole cities into turmoil. Those who are wise keep things calm.

†[NIV]Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.

本会注释　　煽惑通城。可能是为了挑起不满。亵慢人嘲笑政权和正义，挑起争端。智慧人则尽量平息怒气（见箴15:18）。

箴29:9 智慧人与愚妄人相争，或怒或笑，总不能使他止息。 (串)太11:17

†[吕]智慧人跟愚妄人辩诉；愚顽人或怒或笑、总没有安静。

†[思]智愚争辩，或怒或笑，终无结果。

†[当代]倘若聪明人跟愚人争论，愚人不是发怒，便是嘲笑，喧嚷不休。

†[新译]智慧人与愚妄人争讼，愚妄人只会咆哮或嘲笑，总不能安静。

†[Wlb]智愚相争、智者或怒或笑、其争不息、

†[Xdv]明智人控告愚昧人，愚昧人只晓得嬉笑辱。

†[Kjv]If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

†[Nkjv]If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.

†[BBE]If a wise man goes to law with a foolish man, he may be angry or laughing, but there will be no rest.

†[GNT] When an intelligent person brings a lawsuit against a fool, the fool only laughs and becomes loud and abusive.

†[NIV]If a wise man goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.

本会注释　　按照语法结构，主语可以是智慧人，也可以是愚妄人。说愚妄人这样争辩更自然一些。七十士译本明确地说，或怒或笑的都是愚妄人身上。有一点可以肯定，如此悬殊的对手进行争论，是不会有安宁的。

箴29:10 好流人血的，恨恶完全人，索取正直人的性命。 (串)创4:5,8约壹3:12

†[吕]好流人血的、恨恶纯全人；恶人（传统：正直人）寻索他的性命。

†[思]嗜杀的人，常憎恨正人君子；正直的人，却关怀他的命。

†[当代]嗜杀之徒憎恨完美的人，但正直的人却要保护他们。

†[新译]好流人血的恨恶完全人，并寻索正直人的性命。

†[Wlb]嗜杀者憾完人、索正人之命、

†[Xdv]嗜杀的人憎恨正直人；义人却保护（希伯来文是：讨或索取）他的生命。

†[Kjv]The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

†[Nkjv]The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, But the upright seek his well-being.

†[BBE]Men of blood are haters of the good man, and evil-doers go after his soul.

†[GNT] Bloodthirsty people hate anyone who's honest, but righteous people will protect the life of such a person.

†[NIV]Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.

本会注释　　本节含义不明。有人译为“义人想要拯救好流人血者的性命”（参诗142:4）。也有人认为是指义人想要复仇（见启6:9-11）。还有人把yesharim（正直）改为resha`im（邪恶），于是就成了“恶人索取他的性命”。这样的改变使两个分句对称起来。

箴29:11 愚妄人怒气全发；智慧人忍气含怒。 (串)箴12:16

†[吕]愚顽人有气（同词：灵）全都发出；智慧人忍气息怒。

†[思]愚人忿怒，必尽情发；明智的人，必自知抑制。

†[当代]愚人的怒气，常常一发不可收拾；聪明的人却懂得自我抑制。

†[新译]愚昧人把怒气尽情发泄，智慧人却抑制怒气。

†[Wlb]愚者有怒尽吐之、智者有怒抑制之、

†[Xdv]愚蠢人怒形于色；聪明人心平气和。

†[Kjv]A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

†[Nkjv]A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.

†[BBE]A foolish man lets out all his wrath, but a wise man keeps it back quietly.

†[GNT] Stupid people express their anger openly, but sensible people are patient and hold it back.

†[NIV]A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.

本会注释　　情绪跟情感有关。所以怒气完全爆发的是指愚妄人。智慧人要等到冷静下来以后，再沉着地陈述自己的情况。

箴29:12 君王若听谎言，他一切臣仆都是奸恶。

†[吕]掌权者倾听虚假的话，他的臣仆就都邪恶。

†[思]作首长的，如听信谗言，他的臣仆，必尽属小人。

†[当代]倘若在上的轻信谗言，他所有的臣下就都会变成奸诈小人。

†[新译]如果掌权者听信谎言，他所有的臣仆必都是坏人。

†[Wlb]君长若听诳言、臣仆则尽奸邪、

†[Xdv]君王若爱听虚伪的话，他的臣仆必定是撒谎者。

†[Kjv]If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

†[Nkjv]If a ruler pays attention to lies, All his servants become wicked.

†[BBE]If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers.

†[GNT] If a ruler pays attention to false information, all his officials will be liars.

†[NIV]If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.

本会注释　　统治者如果甘心受骗，喜欢用谎话奉承他的人，不久以后，侍奉他的就只是撒谎的人了。

箴29:13 贫穷人、强暴人在世相遇；他们的眼目都蒙耶和华光照。 (串)箴22:2|太5:45

†[吕]穷乏人和欺凌人的人彼此相遇；二者的眼都蒙永恒主光照。

†[思]穷人与压迫者彼此相遇，二者皆由主获得光明。

†[当代]穷人和欺压者都有一个共通点，他们都是靠主赐下的光明才得看见的。

†[新译]世上有穷人，也有欺压人的，两者的眼睛都蒙耶和华光照。

†[Wlb]贫者暴者错处、其目皆为耶和华所烛照、

†[Xdv]穷人跟强暴人有一处相同的地方?他们同样蒙上帝赐予眼睛。

†[Kjv]The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

†[Nkjv]The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

†[BBE]The poor man and his creditor come face to face: the Lord gives light to their eyes equally.

†[GNT] A poor person and his oppressor have this in common - the Lord gave eyes to both of them.

†[NIV]The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.

本会注释　　强暴人。直译是“压迫者”。贫穷人和富裕的压迫者之间常有许多不愉快的接触。但他们的生命都是上帝所赐的。

箴29:14 君王凭诚实判断穷人；他的国位必永远坚立。 (串)箴20:28|诗72:2-4|箴25:5

†[吕]君王凭忠信为贫寒人申正义；他的国位必长永坚立着。

†[思]君王如秉公审判穷人，他的宝座必永久稳立。

†[当代]倘若为王的秉公审判穷人，王位就可以永不动摇。

†[新译]如果君王诚实地审判穷人；他的国位必永远坚立。

†[Wlb]王以诚鞫贫民、其国位必永立、

†[Xdv]君王若维护穷人的权益，就会有持久的统治。

†[Kjv]The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

†[Nkjv]The king who judges the poor with truth, His throne will be established forever.

†[BBE]The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power.

†[GNT] If a king defends the rights of the poor, he will rule for a long time.

†[NIV]If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will always be secure.

本会注释　　坚立。忠心看顾穷人的君王是在为上帝工作，并受到上帝的保护。这样的君王不但看顾穷人，也看顾富人。全国人民都希望看到他的王朝和统治能继续保持。
　　永远（la`ad）。“继续存在”，不一定没有终点。该词常常指人的一生（见诗9:18；21:6；61:8）。圣经中大部分译为“永远”的词，都是表示“或短或长的时间，根据所涉及的对象而定”。如果指永生的上帝，新天新地，未曾堕落的天使或赎民，那是没有终点的，但如果指必死的人类，那就是有时限的。公义之王的宝座要坚立到条件发生变化，上帝撤回保护为止。

箴29:15 杖打和责备能加增智慧；放纵的儿子使母亲羞愧。 (串)箴10:1

†[吕]责打的刑打能增加智慧；放纵的孩子使母亲羞愧。

†[思]杖责与惩戒，赐予人智慧；娇纵的孩子，使母亲受辱。

†[当代]杖打劝责，能加添智慧；骄横的子女必使母亲蒙羞。

†[新译]杖责和管教能使人有智慧，放纵的孩子使母亲蒙羞。

†[Wlb]杖责兼施益子智、放纵之子贻母羞、

†[Xdv]鞭打管教对儿童大有益处；放纵的孩子使母亲羞惭。

†[Kjv]The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

†[Nkjv]The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

†[BBE]The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.

†[GNT] Correction and discipline are good for children. If they have their own way, they will make their mothers ashamed of them.

†[NIV]The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

本会注释　　适当地使用这两种手段，会取得良好的效果。但如果疏忽或过分使用它们，就会导致失败（见箴10:13；13:24；23:13）。

箴29:16 恶人加多，过犯也加多，义人必看见他们跌倒。 (串)诗37:36;58:10

†[吕]恶人执政（传统：增多），过犯就加多；义人必看见他们败倒。

†[思]恶人掌权，罪恶随之增多；正义的人，必亲见其崩溃。

†[当代]恶人得势，罪恶就抬头；义人却必定能够目睹他们的衰败。

†[新译]恶人增多的时候，过犯也必增多；义人必看见他们倾覆。

†[Wlb]恶者增不法亦增、义者得见其倾覆、

†[Xdv]邪恶人当权，罪恶增加；但义人要看见他们败亡。

†[Kjv]When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

†[Nkjv]When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.

†[BBE]When evil men are in power, wrongdoing is increased; but the upright will have pleasure when they see their downfall.

†[GNT] When evil people are in power, crime increases. But the righteous will live to see the downfall of such people.

†[NIV]When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall.

本会注释　　恶人增多，整个社会的道德水准自然会下降，并且继续不断地堕落。祈求制止罪恶的义人，必看见自己的祈祷得到答复（诗37:34；箴28:28）。

箴29:17 管教你的儿子，他就使你得安息，也必使你心里喜乐。 (串)箴13:24

†[吕]管教你的儿子，他就使你得安宁；他必使你的心得到快乐（原文：爽口物）。

†[思]惩戒你的儿子，他必使你安心，令你心旷神怡。

†[当代]好好地管教儿子，他就使你得享安宁，叫你的心欣慰。

†[新译]管教你的儿子，他必使你得安息；也必使你的心得喜乐。

†[Wlb]惩责尔子、致得绥安、亦悦尔心、

†[Xdv]管教儿子，他会使你终生平安喜乐。

†[Kjv]Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

†[Nkjv]Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

†[BBE]Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul.

†[GNT] Discipline your children and you can always be proud of them. They will never give you reason to be ashamed.

†[NIV]Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.

本会注释　　适当地管教孩子会使父母摆脱因溺爱孩子而造成的烦恼。他们会看到孩子作出正确的选择，从而感到高兴和满足。

箴29:18 没有异象（或作：默示），民就放肆；惟遵守律法的，便为有福。 (串)撒上3:1摩8:11,12|约13:17雅1:25

†[吕]没有先知先觉的教训（原文：异象），人就放肆；遵守律法的便为有福。

†[思]神视缺乏时，人民必放纵；遵守法律的，蒙受祝福。

†[当代]缺少主的启示，人民就会放纵不羁；遵循律法的人必然蒙福。

†[新译]没有启示，人民就没有法纪；遵守律法的，就为有福。

†[Wlb]若无启示、则民放恣、惟守律者有福、

†[Xdv]没有上帝的引导，人民就放荡无羁；遵守上帝法律的人多么有福！

†[Kjv]Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

†[Nkjv]Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.

†[BBE]Where there is no vision, the people are uncontrolled; but he who keeps the law will be happy.

†[GNT] A nation without God's guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God's law!

†[NIV]Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.

本会注释　　异象（chazon）。该词在圣经中共出现35次，指先知的异像。除了箴30和31章亚古珥和利慕伊勒的真言以外，这是《箴言》中唯一一次提到先知或预言的。但所罗门的全部作品都是上帝赐给人类的智慧和知识。
　　放肆（para）。“放松”。当一个教会或民族切断与上帝的连系，使祂不能藉着祂所选择的使者直接与他们交通时，百姓就会失去了限制。
　　律法。律法在这里指上帝所显示的全部旨意。如果人人都自行其是，就会陷入混乱和不幸（士17:6）。但如果随从上帝的旨意，就会有繁荣和幸福。

箴29:19 只用言语，仆人不肯受管教；他虽然明白，也不留意。

†[吕]只用说话、仆人并不会受训练；他虽明白，却不能有反应。

†[思]要纠正奴才，不宜用言语；即使他明白，他仍不服从。

†[当代]单凭言语教导仆人，是不能生效的；尽管他心里明白，也不会听从。

†[新译]只用言语，不能使奴仆受管教；他虽然明白，却没有反应。

†[Wlb]以言责仆无益、彼虽明晰、亦弗听从、

†[Xdv]管教仆人不能只凭言语，他即使听懂也不服从。

†[Kjv]A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

†[Nkjv]A servant will not be corrected by mere words; For though he understands, he will not respond.

†[BBE]A servant will not be trained by words; for though the sense of the words is clear to him, he will not give attention.

†[GNT] You cannot correct servants just by talking to them. They may understand you, but they will pay no attention.

†[NIV]A servant cannot be corrected by mere words; though he understands, he will not respond.

本会注释　　就是不肯接受管教。懒惰的仆人十分清楚主人要他做什么。所以只好用言语以外的办法使他顺从了。

箴29:20 你见言语急躁的人吗？愚昧人比他更有指望。 (串)箴26:12

†[吕]你见过说话急躁的人么？愚顽人比他还有可望处。

†[思]你是否见过信口开河的人？寄望于愚人胜于寄望于他。

†[当代]你见过暴躁的人吗？愚人比他还有希望呢。

†[新译]你见过言语急躁的人吗？愚昧人比他更有指望。

†[Wlb]尔见语言急躁者乎、蠢者之望、较彼犹大、

†[Xdv]信口开河的人比愚拙的人更没有希望。

†[Kjv]Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

†[Nkjv]Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

†[BBE]Have you seen a man who is quick with his tongue? There is more hope for a foolish man than for him.

†[GNT] There is more hope for a stupid fool than for someone who speaks without thinking.

†[NIV]Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

本会注释　　言语。或“行动”。草率的言行会给说话的人和周围的人带来麻烦（见箴26:12；雅1:19）。

箴29:21 人将仆人从小娇养，这仆人终久必成了他的儿子。

†[吕]仆人若从小娇养惯了，终久必忘恩负义。

†[思]对奴才自幼加以娇养，他日后终必反仆为主。

†[当代]从小宠惯了的仆人，终必忘恩负义。

†[新译]如果人从小娇纵仆人，结果必带来忧愁。

†[Wlb]人育奴仆自幼娇之、终则成为其子、

†[Xdv]纵容仆人，让他自幼随心所欲，有一天他会夺取你所有的财产（或译：你不能控制他）。

†[Kjv]He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

†[Nkjv]He who pampers his servant from childhood Will have him as a son in the end.

†[BBE]If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end.

†[GNT] If you give your servants everything they want from childhood on, some day they will take over everything you own.

†[NIV]If a man pampers his servant from youth, he will bring grief in the end.

本会注释　　家仆和一般奴隶是不同的。主仆之间有时会产生感情和信任（见创15:2；出21:5,6）。仆人也有继承财产的。
　　这句箴言也是警告不要偏爱不值得爱的仆人，因为他有可能影响主人对自己儿女的感情。这个仆人最后可能对主人产生巨大的影响，迫使主人剥夺自己儿女的继承权，把财产留给这个狡猾的仆人（见箴17:2）。

箴29:22 好气的人挑启争端；暴怒的人多多犯罪。 (串)箴15:18;26:21

†[吕]好生气的人能惹起纷争；爱发烈怒的、必多有过犯。

†[思]易怒的人，极易引起纷争；性急的人，必犯很多过错。

†[当代]愤怒的人挑起纷争；暴躁的人多犯过失。

†[新译]容易发怒的人，引起纷争；脾气暴烈的人，多有过犯。

†[Wlb]易怒者启争端、暴怒者多干罪、

†[Xdv]脾气急躁的人常常激发争端、制造乱事。

†[Kjv]An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

†[Nkjv]An angry man stirs up strife, And a furious man abounds in transgression.

†[BBE]An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong.

†[GNT] People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble.

†[NIV]An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.

本会注释　　生气的人管不住自己。七十士译本为“生气的人，挑起争端。易怒的人，挖掘罪恶”（见箴15:18；雅1:20）。

箴29:23 人的高傲必使他卑下；心里谦逊的，必得尊荣。 (串)撒下22:28但4:30太23:12

†[吕]人的骄傲必使他降为卑微；心（同字：灵）里谦卑的、必获得尊荣。

†[思]骄傲自大，使人屈辱；虚心谦下，使人受荣。

†[当代]骄傲必使人降为卑微；虚心的人必得尊荣。

†[新译]人的骄傲必使他卑微；心里谦卑的，必得尊荣。

†[Wlb]人高傲必致卑下、心谦逊必得尊荣、

†[Xdv]狂傲使人败落；谦虚受人敬重。

†[Kjv]A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

†[Nkjv]A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.

†[BBE]A man's pride will be the cause of his fall, but he who has a gentle spirit will get honour.

†[GNT] Arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.

†[NIV]A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor.

本会注释　　谦卑的人不仅最后会获得尊荣，而且会保持它，因为他高升以后，继续表现他原来的谦虚态度（见箴15:33；16:18,19；25:6,7；但2:30；路14:11）。

箴29:24 人与盗贼分赃，是恨恶自己的性命；他听见叫人发誓的声音，却不言语。 (串)利5:1

†[吕]同盗贼分赃的、是恨恶自己；他听见叫人起誓的命令，却不作证（原文：言语）。

†[思]谁与盗贼合夥，实是痛恨自己；他虽听见咀咒，却不敢发一言。

†[当代]与盗贼结伙的，实在是跟自己的生命作对，作茧自弊。因为他知道后果却明知故犯。

†[新译]与盗贼分赃的，是恨恶自己的性命；他虽然听见要他起誓作证的声音，却不说话。

†[Wlb]与盗为侣、乃恶己命、闻令发誓、默然无言、

†[Xdv]跟盗贼同伙就是跟自己为敌；他在法庭上宣誓也不敢说实话。

†[Kjv]Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

†[Nkjv]Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.

†[BBE]A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing.

†[GNT] A thief's partner is his own worst enemy. He will be punished if he tells the truth in court, and God will curse him if he doesn't.

†[NIV]The accomplice of a thief is his own enemy; he is put under oath and dare not testify.

本会注释　　恨恶。与盗贼为伍是危险的，要么会被视为同犯，要么会丧命。当他严肃地奉命陈述他所知道的罪行时，继续隐瞒就会使他成为伪证者（见利5:1；士17:2）。
　　言语。直译是“透露”。

箴29:25 惧怕人的，陷入网罗；惟有倚靠耶和华的，必得安稳。 (串)创12:12;20:2

†[吕]惧怕人的、乃自设网罗；但倚靠永恒主的、必得到安稳。

†[思]对人畏惧，必陷入羁绊；信赖上主，必获得安全。

†[当代]惧怕别人的权势，是危险的陷阱；惟有信靠主的，才得安稳。

†[新译]惧怕人的，必陷入网罗；倚靠耶和华的，必得安全。

†[Wlb]畏人必陷罗网、惟恃耶和华者、必得安居、

†[Xdv]过份顾虑人的评价有危险；信靠上主得安宁。

†[Kjv]The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

†[Nkjv]The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.

†[BBE]The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.

†[GNT] It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe.

†[NIV]Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

本会注释　　一个人如果因惧怕人而疏忽自己的责任，知错犯错，就会危及自己的得救。但敬畏上帝的人却是“安稳”的，直译是“置于高处”，在仇敌的一切攻击中受到保护（见箴18:10；赛51:12；太10:28；可8:38）。

箴29:26 求王恩的人多；定人事乃在耶和华。 (串)诗20:9箴19:6

†[吕]求统治者情面的人很多。惟有从永恒主、人才得直。

†[思]许多人寻求王侯的慈惠，但每人的判决出自上主。

†[当代]很多人都想讨统治者的欢心，但公正判决的乃出于神。

†[新译]很多人求掌权者的情面，但各人的判决是出于耶和华。

†[Wlb]求王恩者多、定人之谳、由于耶和华、

†[Xdv]人人想求君王的恩宠，其实只有上主能伸正义。

†[Kjv]Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Many seek the ruler's favor, But justice for man comes from the LORD.

†[BBE]The approval of a ruler is desired by great numbers: but the decision in a man's cause comes from the Lord.

†[GNT] Everybody wants the good will of the ruler, but only from the Lord can you get justice.

†[NIV]Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that man gets justice.

本会注释　　国王和法官不能决定人的最终命运。裁决权掌握在上帝手中。

箴29:27 为非作歹的，被义人憎嫌；行事正直的，被恶人憎恶。

†[吕]义人所厌恶的是不义的人；恶人所厌恶的、是行径正直的。

†[思]为非作歹的人，为义人所憎恶；行为正直的人，为恶人所憎恶。

†[当代]为非作歹的人，是义人所憎厌的；行为正直的人，却也是恶人所恨恶的。

†[新译]不义的人是义人所厌恶的；行为正直的人是恶人所厌恶的。

†[Wlb]不公者为义人所恶、行正者为恶人所疾、

†[Xdv]义人厌恶不义的人；邪恶人憎恨正直的人。

†[Kjv]An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

†[Nkjv]An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.

†[BBE]An evil man is disgusting to the upright, and he who is upright is disgusting to evil-doers.

†[GNT] The righteous hate the wicked, and the wicked hate the righteous.

†[NIV]The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.

本会注释　　如果本节是所罗门箴言的结尾（见箴30:1；31:1），那它就是合适的总结，因为它归纳了全书的题材。智者说到了善恶之间的互相厌恶。义人不可能与恶人亲密相处，因为他们的目标，观念和标准是大相径庭的。除非他降低标准，否则他在恶人面前就不自在。恶人也是这样（见赛53:3；约15:19）。除非恶人愿意受义人良好品格的影响，改变自己的行径，否则他与义人交往会很痛苦的。义人所“憎恶”的，是恶人的恶（见诗139:19-21）。
