May 31【每日活水】积极回应智慧的邀请

 

箴言9:1~18

智慧和愚蠢

智慧建造房屋,
凿成七根柱子,
宰杀牲畜,
调和旨酒,
设摆筵席;
打发使女出去,
自己在城中至高处呼叫,
说:谁是愚蒙人,可以转到这里来!
又对那无知的人说:
你们来,吃我的饼,
喝我调和的酒。
你们愚蒙人,要舍弃愚蒙
就得存活,并要走光明的道。
指斥亵慢人的,必受辱骂;
责备恶人的,必被玷污。
不要责备亵慢人,恐怕他恨你;
要责备智慧人,他必爱你。
9   教导智慧人,他就越发有智慧;
指示义人,他就增长学问。
10  敬畏耶/和/华是智慧的开端;
认识至圣者便是聪明。
11  你藉着我,日子必增多,
年岁也必加添。
12  你若有智慧,是与自己有益;
你若亵慢,就必独自担当。
13  愚昧的妇人喧嚷;
她是愚蒙,一无所知。
14  她坐在自己的家门口,
坐在城中高处的座位上,
15  呼叫过路的,
就是直行其道的人,
16  说:谁是愚蒙人,可以转到这里来!
又对那无知的人说:
17  偷来的水是甜的,
吃的饼是好的。
18  人却不知有阴魂在她那里;
她的客在阴间的深处。

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly

Wisdom has built her house;
she has set up its seven pillars.
She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
She has sent out her servants, and she calls
from the highest point of the city,
“Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense she says,
“Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.
Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of insight.”
Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.
Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
10  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11  For through wisdom your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.
12  If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
13  Folly is an unruly woman;
she is simple and knows nothing.
14  She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15  calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16  “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense she says,
17  “Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!”
18  But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.

灵/修指南

所罗门劝勉愚蒙人要转到智慧的家中来,这是因为他希望愚蒙人回转,得着智慧,又离弃愚蒙,得着生命,并要走明智的道路(1—6节)。接着又说,不要纠正傲慢人,也不要责备恶人,而要责备智慧人,不仅如此,还要教导智慧人,努力使他更有智慧,并说敬畏主是智慧的开端,得着智慧的人是有福的。最终,敬畏主的人在这地上得享从主而来的赐福,其智慧也将为自己带来益处(7—12节)。像这样, SHEN 的百姓要积极回应智慧的呼唤和邀请,始终奔跑在得生命的路上。所以,我们要在生活中全力寻求敬畏 SHEN 的智慧,因为这是在这地上得着从 SHEN 而来的赐福,并活出智慧和聪明的唯一道路。
