經文:箴言十二章
鑰節:「在公義的道上有生命,其路之中,並無死亡。」(12:28)
提要

        箴言第十二章是描述數組人行為的對比,例如:義人與惡人;才德的婦人與使丈夫貽羞的婦人;勤儉的人與懶惰的人;以及聰明的人與愚妄的人。一個能喜愛及注意到智慧的忠告和責備的人就是一個聰明的人。他是一個喜愛知識的人,並且被描述為必蒙耶和華恩惠的好人(12:1~2)。那些恨惡責備的人都是愚蠢的人;愚妄人祇知道走他們自己的道路,根本不理會耶和華的道路,既沒有悟性,也沒有人格上的成長。他們不會使用正直的心思與意志,祇知道行惡,因而受到上帝的鄙視與責備。

        「才德的」婦人為她的丈夫帶來榮譽。被翻譯成「才德的」(Excellent)這個字有豐富的意義;它字面的意思是「有勇氣的」婦人(Woman of Valour)。在其他的地方,這個字被用來描述一個「優良的士兵」。防守堡壘,或是維持家庭的秩序與平安都具有卅一章十至卅一節中所提到的很多優點。那些優點就是智慧、力量、及品德、因而使這位婦女在家中發揮很大的屬靈影響,並且使她履行她對家庭的責任。不過,一位使丈夫蒙羞的愚蠢的妻子如同「朽爛在她丈夫的骨中」(rottenness in his bones),也像一個人患了癌症一樣,繼續壞下去,直到他完全崩潰。她全家都要崩潰,但是「義人的家庭必站得住」(12:7)。當上帝的百姓在祂的裡面植入深根,及堅立在祂的話語上時,他們在遭遇人生風暴的期間,會有一點搖擺不定,但是他們絕不會連根拔起。不過,惡人卻會被吹走,就像糠秕在狂風中飄蕩(詩1:4;何13:3)。

        公義的婦人是仁慈的,不僅對她丈夫,對她養的動物也很好(比較申25:4)。她知道上帝是萬物的創造主,因此,她像耶和華一樣,不僅疼愛牲畜,更疼愛同胞(太6:26)。不敬畏上帝的惡人既不會關心,也不會尊敬上帝所創造的任何受造物,不論是人或是動物。他們是如此的邪惡,即使他們認為,他們已憐憫了他們的性畜,那也是殘忍(12:10)。

        聰明苦幹的人與愚蠢懶惰的人之間還有另一個鮮明的對比。聰明的人做一些低微的工作,不太為別人重視,他依然能將他的財務處理得很好。驕傲又懶惰的愚蠢的人就要挨餓受凍。他「沒有悟性」,因為他不想努力工作,「一味輕浮」;他們都想一夜致富,希望突然找到某地埋藏的巨額財富,或者用今天的話來說,夢想中到「樂透第一大獎!」不過,愚蠢人的希望會歸於無有(12:7)。他會成為勤儉人的僕人(12:24)。

        還有一個強有力的對比,就是義人可信靠的行為對惡人的欺詐和謊言。惡人會掉在他自己謊言所設的網羅中,但是由於義人所說的真理,他會走過苦難,以及耶和華也會喜歡。義人的話會帶來健康和喜悅,也有平安和喜悅,並且永遠堅立不動,不像說謊話的人,因為那些人的話就像寶劍一樣,而且他們會像蒸氣一樣消散(12:17~22)。當一個人想到這些比較,他就會聰明地遵守所羅門的忠告,小心地選擇他的朋友,因為這些朋友一定會對他產生影響,不是對的,就是壞的。我們必須小心,以免被惡人帶壞,受他們誘惑,離了正道。讓我們心裡充滿了上帝的智慧,好使我們有足夠的力量將他們帶到上帝的面前來,幫助他們藉著耶穌走公義的道路。

禱告

        哦,主啊,我們今天讚美您,感謝您在您的話語中向我們啟示實用的智慧。還有誰比我們的創造主更了解,如何生活才能得到更豐盛的生命?我們今天要再度決志遵行您的話語。奉主耶穌基督聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Proverbs 12
Key Verse:"In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death."(Proverbs 12:28)
Overview

        Proverbs 12 deals with contrasts in conduct between several opposing pairs: the righteous man and the wicked man, the virtuous woman and the one who brings shame to her husband, the industrious man and the slothful man, the wise man and the foolish man. The one who loves and heeds the counsel and reproof of wisdom is wise. He is one who loves knowledge and is described as a good man who obtains favour from the Lord (12:1-2). Those who hate reproof are stupid; they are the fools who think going their own way is right and disregard the way of the Lord. Fools live out their days without having understanding or without growing as a person. Rather than using their minds and wills with integrity, they use their resources to devise wickedness,and are thus despised and condemned by God.

        The excellent wife brings honour to her husband. The term translated as "excellent" has a fuller meaning; it literally means "a woman of valour". In other places, the word is used to describe a good soldier. To hold the fort or maintain the order and peace of the household takes many excellent qualities which are described further in 31:10-31. Among them are wisdom, strength, and virtue, which serve her well in being a godly influence in her home and in fulfilling her domestic duties. However, the foolish wife, who brings shame to her husband, is like "rottenness in his bones", which continues to rot like a cancer until he collapses. Her entire household will collapse, but "the house of the righteous will stand" (12:7). When the people of God are firmly rooted in Him and established in His Word, they may sway a little during the storms of life, but nothing can uproot them. The wicked, however, are blown away like chaff in the wind (12:3).

        The righteous are kindhearted, not only to man but also to their animals, which they treat with concern for their well-being (cf. Deut. 25:4). They know that God is the Creator of all things, and therefore they, like the Lord, show tender mercies to animals and show even more love to their fellow man (Matt. 6:26). The wicked, however, who do not fear God, have no regard or respect for any of God's creatures, be it man or animal. They are so depraved that what they think to be tender mercies to their animals are in fact cruelties (12:10).

        Yet another contrast in conduct is drawn between the wise, hard worker and the foolish, lazy man. The wise man may have to do some menial tasks himself and thereby be lightly esteemed, yet he still has managed his finances well enough to have at least one servant, and since he works the land, he will have sufficient food to eat. On the other hand, the fool who is too proud and lazy to do lowly jobs would rather go hungry. He is "devoid of understanding" , for he does not work hard but "follows frivolity", such as dreaming up get-rich-quick schemes and hoping to get lucky by finding buried treasure or, in today's terms, by winning the lottery. The fool's hopes, however, will perish (12:7). He will end up being the servant to the one who works diligently (12:24).

        A final dominant contrast is shown between the truthful dealings of the righteous man and the deceitful and lies of the wicked. The wicked will be ensnared by his lies, but because of the truth that the righteous man speaks, he will come through trouble and the Lord will delight in Him. His words bring health and satisfaction, and he will have peace and joy and be established forever, unlike the man with the lying tongue, whose words are like a sword and who will be gone like a vapour (12:17-22). Considering the contrasts, one does wisely to follow Solomon's advice and choose his friends carefully, since they can have either a good or an adverse influence. Let us be careful to not be pulled down or led astray by the wicked. Let us rather be filled with wisdom, that we might be stronger and have a positive influence on others, directing them toward the way of righteousness through Jesus.

Prayer

        We praise You today, oh Lord, for the practical wisdom You have revealed to us in Your Word. Who better than You, our Creator, knows how we should live in order to have a fulfilling and abundant life? We re-commit ourselves today to follow Your Word more fully.
