Aug 28【每日活水】警戒愚昧人的行为

1 设筵满屋，大家相争，

不如有块干饼，大家相安。

2 仆人办事聪明，必管辖贻羞之子，

又在众子中同分产业。

3 鼎为炼银，炉为炼金；

惟有耶/和/华熬炼人心。

4 行恶的，留心听奸诈之言；

说谎的，侧耳听邪恶之语。

5 戏笑穷人的，是辱没造他的主；

幸灾乐祸的，必不免受罚。

6 子孙为老人的冠冕；

父亲是儿女的荣耀。

7 愚顽人说美言本不相宜，

何况君王说谎话呢？

8 贿赂在馈送的人眼中看为宝玉，

随处运动都得顺利。

9 遮掩人过的，寻求人爱；

屡次挑错的，离间密友。

10 一句责备话深入聪明人的心，

强如责打愚昧人一百下。

11 恶人只寻背叛，

所以必有严厉的使者奉差攻击他。

12 宁可遇见丢崽子的母熊，

不可遇见正行愚妄的愚昧人。

1 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet

than a house full of feasting, with strife.

2 A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son

and will share the inheritance as one of the family.

3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,

but the Lord tests the heart.

4 A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;

a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

5 Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker;

whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

6 Children’s children are a crown to the aged,

and parents are the pride of their children.

7 Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—

how much worse lying lips to a ruler!

8 A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;

they think success will come at every turn.

9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,

but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person

more than a hundred lashes a fool.

11 Evildoers foster rebellion against God;

the messenger of death will be sent against them.

12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs

than a fool bent on folly.
