並將智慧的奧祕指示你;他有諸般的智識。所以當知道 上帝追討你比你罪孽該得的還少。 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? 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。 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))
December 27 "His soul entered into iron." (Psalm 105:18) TURN that about and render it in our language, and it reads thus, "Iron entered his soul." Is there not a truth in this? that sorrow and privation, the yoke borne in the youth, the soul's enforced restraint, are all conducive to an iron tenacity and strength of purpose, and endurance or fortitude, which are the indispensable foundation and framework of a noble character. Do not flinch from suffering; bear it silently, patiently, resignedly; and be sure that it is God's way of infusing iron into your spiritual life. The world wants iron dukes, iron battalions, iron sinews, and thews of steel. God wants iron saints; and since there is no way of imparting iron to the moral nature buy by letting people suffer, He lets them suffer. Are the best years of your life slipping away in enforced monotony? Are you beset by opposition, misunderstanding, and scorn, as the thick undergrowth besets the passage of the woodsman pioneer? Then take heart; the time is not wasted; God is only putting you through the iron regimen. The iron crown of suffering precedes the golden crown of glory. And iron is entering into your soul to make it strong and brave. -F. B. Meyer. "But you will not mind the roughness nor the steepness of the way, Nor the chill, unrested morning, nor the searness of the day; And you will not take a turning to the left or the right, But go straight ahead, nor tremble at the coming of the night, For the road leads home."
