ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
39:1
Omnis mente pius fugiat mortale venenum f Quod mulieris habet lingua superba male Collatum vitae destruxit femina culmen: Femina sed vitae gaudia longa dedit.
Let everyone who is pious in mind flee the deadly poison which the proud tongue of a woman holds for ill. Woman destroyed the height of life when it was bestowed: yet woman gave the long joys of life.
願凡心思敬虔的人,都逃避那致命的毒,就是婦人驕傲的舌頭所懷以致害人的毒。婦人在生命被賜予時毀壞了它的高峰:然而婦人也賜下了生命長久的喜樂。
