實實在在的話語 His words

Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor.

He who answers before listening—
that is his folly and his shame.

A man’s spirit sustains him in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?

The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge;
the ears of the wise seek it out.

-NIV Proverbs 18:12-15

He who conceals his sins does not prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD,
but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

-NIV Proverbs 28:13-14

敗壞之先，人心驕傲；尊榮以前，必有謙卑。未曾聽完先回答的，便是他的愚昧和羞辱。人有疾病，心能忍耐；心靈憂傷，誰能承當呢？聰明人的心得知識；智慧人的耳求知識。

-箴言 18:12-15

遮掩自己罪過的，必不亨通；承認離棄罪過的，必蒙憐恤。常存敬畏的，便為有福；心存剛硬的，必陷在禍患裡。

-箴言 28:13-14
