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体,她居然拒绝他。
所有的人都拒绝他,这也包括那些下等人,穷人,没头没脑地跟着人群,嘲笑他,看热闹。
从前面的某个地方看来,他的这三个朋友,有的是他的长辈,这说明,他还是在壮年阶段,是一个正常的男人,内心向往maid窈窕淑女,可是他却更看重神的教训,内心不被其他女人的美貌所撼动。 这样的张力 就是神用来造就人灵魂的手段。 绝大多数时候,当我们在艰难的时候,也就是我们自以为一生最不堪的时候,反倒是神最同在时候,我们在灵魂上有大的长进,明白了好多神的道理。这就是为什么我们要体会这点,在艰难的时候,反倒要感谢神,因为他的管教正是我们灵魂成长的 丰富的粮食。
一个吃偏食,温室里长大的孩子是不可能经得住暴风骤雨的,整天都只能听好话的人 对神也没什么价值,因为他没有机会明白太多的道理,其中的丰富让人目瞪口呆。
