【释义】：

慷慨；(喻)宽宏大度

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

They that arc of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: but such as arc upright in their way are his delight.

Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, bul it tendeth to poverty.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that sceketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

He that trustcth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.

Prov.l 1:17-31

仁慈的人善待自己；残忍的人扰害己身。

恶人经营，得虚浮的工价；撒义种的，得实在的果效。

恒心为义的，必得生命；追求邪恶的，必致死亡。

心中乖僻的，为耶和华所憎恶，行事完全的，为他所喜悦。

恶人虽然连手，必不免受罚，义人的后裔，必得拯救。

妇女美貌而无见识，如同金环戴在猪鼻上。

义人的心愿尽得好处，恶人的指望致于忿怒。

有施教的，却更增添，有吝惜过度的，及致穷乏。

好施舍的，心得丰裕；滋润人的，必得滋润。

屯粮不卖的，民必咒诅他，情愿出卖的，人必为他祝福。

恳切求善的，就求得恩惠，惟独求恶的，恶必临到他身。

倚仗自己财物的，必跌倒，义人必发旺如青叶。

扰害己家的，必承受清风，愚昧人必作慧心人的仆人。

义人所结的果子就是生命树，有智慧的人必能得人。

看哪，义人在世尚且受报，何况恶人和罪人呢?
