並將智慧的奧祕指示你;他有諸般的智識。所以當知道 神追討你比你罪孽該得的還少。 6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
他的智慧高於天,你還能做甚麼?深於陰間,你還能知道甚麼? 8 They are higher than the heavens--what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave-- 11:8 Hebrew ((than Sheol)) what can you know?
空虛的人卻毫無知識;人生在世好像野驢的駒子。 12 But a witless man can no more become wise than a wild donkey's colt can be born a man. 11:12 Or ((wild donkey can be born tame))
January 13 "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Romans 8:37.) THIS is more than victory. This is a triumph so complete that we have not only escaped defeat and destruction, but we have destroyed our enemies and won a spoil so rich and valuable that we can thank God that the battle ever came. How can we be "more than conquerors"? We can get out of the conflict a spiritual discipline that will greatly strengthen our faith and establish our spiritual character. Temptation is necessary to settle and confirm us in the spiritual life. It is like the fire which bruns in the colors of mineral painting, or like winds that cause the mighty cedars of the mountain to strike more deeply into the soil. Our spiritual conflicts are amoung our choicest blessings, and our great adversary is used to train us for his ultimate defeat. The ancient Phrygians lad a legend that every time they conquered an enemy the victor absorbed the physical strength of his victim and added so much more to his own strength and valor. So temptation victoriously met doubles our spiritual strength and equipment. It is possible thus not only to defeat our enemy, but to capture him and make him fight in our ranks. The prophet Isaiah speaks of flying on the shoulders of the Philistines (Isa. 11:14). These Philistines were their deadly foes, but the figure suggested that they would be enabled not only to conquer the Philistines, but to use them to carry the victors on their shoulders for further triumphs. Just as the wise sailor can use a head wind to carry him forward by tacking and taking advantage of its impelling force; so it is possible for us in our spiritual life through the victorious grace of God to turn to account the things that seem most unfriendly and unfavorable, and to be able to say continually, "The things that were against me have happened to the furtherance of the Gospel." ─Life More Abundantly. "Now thanks be unto God Who always leads us forth to triumph with the Anointed one, and Who diffuses by us the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place." (2 Cor. 2:14, literal translation.)
