金句精選(箴30-31)

上帝的言語，句句都是煉淨的；投靠祂的，祂便作他們的盾牌。Every word of God is true. He guards those who come to him for safety. (NCV)(30:5)

我求你兩件事，在我未死之先不要不賜給我：求你使虛假和謊言遠離我；使我也不貧窮、也不富足；賜給我需用的飲食，恐怕我飽足不認你，說：耶和華是誰呢？又恐怕我貧窮就偷竊，以致褻瀆我上帝的名。Two things I ask of you, O LORD; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD ?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. (NIV)(30:7-9)

才德的婦人誰能得著呢？他的價值遠勝過珍珠！A truly good wife is the most precious treasure a man can find! (CEV)(31:10)

他觀察家務，並不吃閒飯。She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. (NLT)(31:27)

豔麗是虛假的、美容是虛浮的；惟敬畏耶和華的婦女必得稱讚。Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God. (MSG)(31:30)
