19:15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 19:16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. 19:17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. 19:18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity. 31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; 31:8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. 31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 31:10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 他的妻子就是他自己的身體，她居然拒絕他。 所有的人都拒絕他，這也包括那些下等人，窮人，沒頭沒腦地跟着人群，嘲笑他，看熱鬧。 從前面的某個地方看來，他的這三個朋友，有的是他的長輩，這說明，他還是在壯年階段，是一個正常的男人，內心嚮往maid窈窕淑女，可是他卻更看重神的教訓，內心不被其他女人的美貌所撼動。 這樣的張力 就是神用來造就人靈魂的手段。 絕大多數時候，當我們在艱難的時候，也就是我們自以為一生最不堪的時候，反倒是神最同在時候，我們在靈魂上有大的長進，明白了好多神的道理。這就是為什麼我們要體會這點，在艱難的時候，反倒要感謝神，因為他的管教正是我們靈魂成長的 豐富的糧食。 一個吃偏食，溫室里長大的孩子是不可能經得住暴風驟雨的，整天都只能聽好話的人 對神也沒什麼價值，因為他沒有機會明白太多的道理，其中的豐富讓人目瞪口呆。
