Making right choices
Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has carved its seven columns. 2 She has
prepared a great banquet, mixed the wines, and set the table. 3 She has sent her
servants to invite everyone to come. She calls out from the heights overlooking
the city. 4 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple. To those who lack good
judgment, she says,
5 “Come, eat my food, and drink the wine I have mixed. 6 Leave your simple ways
behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment.”
13 The woman named Folly is brash. She is ignorant and doesn’t know it. 14 She
sits in her doorway on the heights overlooking the city. 15 She calls out to men
going by who are minding their own business. 16 “Come in with me,” she urges the
simple. To those who lack good judgment, she says, 17 “Stolen water is
refreshing; food eaten in secret tastes the best!” 18 But little do they know
that the dead are there. Her guests are in the depths of the grave.
箴言 9
1智慧建造房屋,鑿成七根柱子, 2宰殺牲畜,調和旨酒,設擺筵席; 3打發使女出去,自己在城中至高處呼叫, 4說:誰是愚蒙人,可以轉到這裡來!又對那無知的人說:
5你們來,吃我的餅,喝我調和的酒。 6你們愚蒙人,要捨棄愚蒙,就得存活,並要走光明的道。
13愚昧的婦人喧嚷;他是愚蒙,一無所知。14他坐在自己的家門口,坐在城中高處的座位上,15呼叫過路的,就是直行其道的人,16說:誰是愚蒙人,可以轉到這裡來!又對那無知的人說:
17偷來的水是甜的,暗吃的餅是好的。 18人卻不知有陰魂在他那裡;他的客在陰間的深處。
