Aug 30【每日活水】要得尊荣，先有谦卑

2愚昧人不喜爱明哲，

只喜爱显露心意。

3恶人来，藐视随来；

羞耻到，辱骂同到。

4人口中的言语如同深水；

智慧的泉源好像涌流的河水。

5瞻徇恶人的情面，

偏断义人的案件，都为不善。

6愚昧人张嘴启争端，

开口招鞭打。

7愚昧人的口自取败坏；

他的嘴是他生命的网罗。

8传舌人的言语如同美食，

深入人的心腹。

9做工懈怠的，

与浪费人为弟兄。

10耶/和/华的名是坚固台；

义人奔入便得安稳。

11富足人的财物是他的坚城，

在他心想，犹如高墙。

12败坏之先，人心骄傲；

尊荣以前，必有谦卑。

1 An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends

and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.

2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding

but delight in airing their own opinions.

3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt,

and with shame comes reproach.

4 The words of the mouth are deep waters,

but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.

5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked

and so deprive the innocent of justice.

6 The lips of fools bring them strife,

and their mouths invite a beating.

7 The mouths of fools are their undoing,

and their lips are a snare to their very lives.

8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;

they go down to the inmost parts.

9 One who is slack in his work

is brother to one who destroys.

10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;

the righteous run to it and are safe.

11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;

they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,

but humility comes before honor.
