並將智慧的奧祕指示你;他有諸般的智識。所以當知道 神追討你比你罪孽該得的還少。 6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
他的智慧高於天,你還能做甚麼?深於陰間,你還能知道甚麼? 8 They are higher than the heavens--what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave-- 11:8 Hebrew ((than Sheol)) what can you know?
空虛的人卻毫無知識;人生在世好像野驢的駒子。 12 But a witless man can no more become wise than a wild donkey's colt can be born a man. 11:12 Or ((wild donkey can be born tame))
March 15 "Fear not, thou worm Jacob....I will make thee a threshing instrument with teeth." (Isa. 41:14, 15.) COULD any two things be in greater contrast than a worm and an instrument with teeth? The worm is delicate, bruised by a stone, crushed beneath the passing wheel; an instrument with teeth can break and not be broken; it can grave its mark upon the rock. And the mighty God can convert the one into the other. He can take a man or a nation, who has all the impotence of the worm, and by the invigoration of His own Spirit, He can endow with strength by which a noble mark is left upon the history of the time. And so the "worm" may take heart. The mighty God can make us stronger than our circumstances. He can bend them all to our good. In God's strengthwe can make them all pay tribute to our souls. We can even take hold of a black disappointment, break it open, and extract some jewel of grace. When God gives us wills like iron, we can drive through difficulties as the iron share cuts through the toughest soil. "I will make thee," and shall He not do it? ─Dr. Jowett. Christ is building His kingdom with earth's broken things. Men want only the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unbroken, in building their kingdoms; but God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth's broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty. He can take the life crushed by pain or sorrow and make it into a harp whose music shall be all praise. he can lift earth's saddest failure up to heaven's glory. ─J. R. Miller. "Follow Me, and I will make you".... Make you speak My words with power, Make you channels of My mercy, Make you helpful every hour. "Follow Me, and I will make you".... Make you what you cannot be─ Make you loving, trustful, godly, Make you even like to me. ─L. S. P.
