因为智慧护庇人,好像银钱护庇人一样。惟独智慧能保全智慧人的生命,这就是知识的益处。
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
你要察看神的作为,因为神使为曲的,谁能变为直呢。
Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
遇亨通的日子,你当喜乐。遭患难的日子,你当思想。因为神使这两样并列,为的是叫人查不出身后有什么事。
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
智慧使有智慧的人,比城中十个官长更有能力。
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
时常行善而不犯罪的义人,世上实在没有。
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
乌西雅的孙子约坦的儿子犹大王亚哈斯在位的时候,亚兰王利汛,和利玛利的儿子以色列王比加上来攻打耶路撒冷,却不能攻取。
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
说,我们可以上去,攻击犹太,扰乱他,攻破他,在其中立他比勒的儿子为王。<
Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
原来亚兰的首城是大马士革,大马士革的首领是利汛。六十五年之内,以法莲必然破坏,不再成为国民。
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
你向耶和华你的神求一个兆头。或求显在深处,或求显在高处。
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
亚哈斯说,我不求,我不试探耶和华。
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
