Chinese (traditional)- Who can find a worthy wife?
She is far more precious than pearls. - For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord. - A man may plan his own course,
but the Lord makes his steps secure. - As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor. - The lips of a fool cause strife,
and his mouth provokes a flogging. - A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness lies incessantly. - A man’s pride will bring him low,
but lowly souls will rise to honor. - Lying lips conceal hatred,
and anyone who slanders another is a fool. - The reward of humility and fear of the Lord
is wealth, honor, and life. - When anyone turns a deaf ear to the law,
even his prayer is detestable. - The Lord abhors lying lips,
but he delights in those who are truthful. - A gift opens doors for the giver
and wins him access to the powerful. - A fool is quick to show his anger,
but a prudent man ignores an insult. - One who finds a wife finds happiness
and receives favor from the Lord. - Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze on what lies before you. - Ensure that the path you tread is level,
and then your ways will be sure. - Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life and honor too. - A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. - Authority will be granted to the diligent,
but the lazy will be enslaved. - Anxiety in the human heart weighs it down,
but a kind word makes it glad. - A wise man will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to grief. - Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your crops. - Hope deferred sickens the heart,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - There is a way that seems right to a man,
but the end of it leads to death. - Just as water reflects one’s face,
so does one human heart reflect another.
To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
