Mar 31【每日活水】不怕灾祸的智慧人生

智慧呼唤人

20 智慧在街市上呼喊，在宽阔处发声，

21 在热闹街头喊叫，在城门口，在城中发出言语，

22 说：你们愚昧人喜爱愚昧，亵慢人喜欢亵慢，愚顽人恨恶知识，要到几时呢？

23 你们当因我的责备回转；我要将我的灵浇灌你们，将我的话指示你们。

24 我呼唤，你们不肯听从；我伸手，无人理会；

25 反轻弃我一切的劝戒，不肯受我的责备。

26 你们遭灾难，我就发笑；惊恐临到你们，我必嗤笑。

27 惊恐临到你们，好像狂风；灾难来到，如同暴风；急难痛苦临到你们身上。

28 那时，你们必呼求我，我却不答应，恳切地寻找我，却寻不见。

29 因为，你们恨恶知识，不喜爱敬畏耶/和/华，

30 不听我的劝戒，藐视我一切的责备，

31 所以必吃自结的果子，充满自设的计谋。

32 愚昧人背道，必杀己身；愚顽人安逸，必害己命。

33 惟有听从我的，必安然居住，得享安静，不怕灾祸。 

Wisdom’s Rebuke

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;

21 on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech:

22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

23 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.

24 But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,

25 since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke,

26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—

27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me,

29 since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord.

30 Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,

31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
