26:23 火熱的嘴,奸惡的心,好像銀渣包的瓦器。
26:24 怨恨人的,用嘴粉飾,心裡卻藏著詭詐;
26:25 他用甜言蜜語,你不可信他,因為他心中有七樣可憎惡的。
26:26 他雖用詭詐遮掩自己的怨恨,他的邪惡必在會中顯露。
26:27 挖陷坑的,自己必掉在其中;滾石頭的,石頭必反滾在他身上。
26:28 虛謊的舌恨他所壓傷的人;諂媚的口敗壞人的事。

23 Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
are fervent[a] lips with an evil heart.
24 Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.
25 Though their speech is charming, do not believe them,
for seven abominations fill their hearts.
26 Their malice may be concealed by deception,
but their wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it;
if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.
28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
and a flattering mouth works ruin.
are fervent[a] lips with an evil heart.

基督徒除了自己不要說詭詐的話,也要小心說話詭詐的人,他們喜歡甜言蜜語,讓人覺得很好相處,其實內心正在謀劃怎樣害人,怎樣獲得更多的利益,好是自己過得更好!
而這樣的人之所以會如此,是因為他們不敬畏耶和華,不以討上帝喜悅為人生的目標。之所以如此,是他們沒有認識人生的目地是什麼,只知汲汲營營為著財富而努力,就像雅各尚未在毗努依勒遇見上帝一樣!
感謝主,人若與上帝相遇,就會離開過去自我中心的生命,謙卑讓上帝在心中做主,如此雖然好像沒有以前風光,卻反而活出「榮耀上帝、以上帝為樂」真正的人該有的生命模式!
