کتاب امثال سلیمان

فصل هجدهم

۱آدم خودخواه با دیگران آمیزش نمی کند و با هر حکمت صحیح مخالفت می ورزد.

۲شخص احمق برای حکمت ارزش قائل نیست و فقط دوست دارد که خود را دانا نشان بدهد.

۳وقتی شرارت می آید، ننگ و رسوائی هم می آید و توهین خجالت را همراه دارد.

۴سخنان دهان انسان مانند آبِ عمیق است و چشمۀ حکمت، نهر جاری است.

۵طرفداری از شخص مجرمی که حق بیگناهی را پایمال می کند، کار درستی نیست.

۶حرف های آدم احمق منجر به نزاع و لت و کوب او می شود.

۷سخنان شخص احمق مانند دامی است که او را به هلاکت می کشاند.

۸حرف های آدم سخن چین مثل لقمه های لذیذی است که با لذت فروبرده می شود.

۹کسی که در کار خود تنبلی می کند، مانند یک خرابکار، مخرب است.

۱۰نام خداوند همچون قلعه ای است مستحکم که شخص راستکار به آن پناه می برد و در امان می ماند.

۱۱اما پناهگاه ثروتمندان، ثروت شان است که گمان می کنند آن ها را محافظت خواهد کرد.

۱۲تکبر به سقوط منجر می شود و فروتنی به سرفرازی.

۱۳چقدر زشت و احمقانه است که اگر انسان پیش از گوش دادن به سخنی، به آن جواب بدهد.

۱۴اگر انسان روحیۀ قوی داشته باشد، بیماری را تحمل می کند، اما روحیۀ شکسته را چه کسی می تواند تحمل کند؟

۱۵اشخاص دانا همیشه مشتاق و آمادۀ کسب حکمت اند.

۱۶هدیه دادن راه را برای انسان باز می کند و او را بحضور اشخاص مهم می رساند.

۱۷دلایل کسی که در محکمه اول صحبت می کند، بنظر درست می آیند، اما تا زمانی است که طرف مقابل هنوز دلایل خود را ارائه نکرده باشد.

۱۸قرعه کشی، به دعوا خاتمه می دهد و منازعۀ بین حریفان زورمند را خاموش می سازد.

۱۹به دست آوردنِ دلِ اقارب رنجدیده، سخت تر از تصرف یک شهر مستحکم است. خصومت بین آن ها دیوار جدائی ایجاد می کند.

۲۰انسان نتیجۀ حرفهائی را که می زند، خواهد دید.

۲۱حرف زبانت می تواند حیات ترا حفظ کند یا آن را برباد دهد، بنابراین، عواقب حرف های خود را خواهی دید.

۲۲وقتی مردی همسری می یابد، نعمتی را به دست می آورد. آن زن برای او برکتی است از جانب خداوند.

۲۳درخواست فقرا با التماس توأم است و جواب ثروتمندان با خشونت.

۲۴بسیاری از دوستی ها پایدار نمی مانند، اما دوستانی هم هستند که از خویشاوندان نزدیکتر می باشند.

The Life of a Couple From the Perspective of the Bible

The Life of a Couple From the Perspective of the Bible (With You)
When a believing couple follows God's principles, the result is a biblical marriage. A biblical marriage is balanced because Christ is the head of the husband and the wife. When the husband and wife are truly united, as in the picture of Christ united to the church, this is a real Bible-based marriage. When a couple has love and respect for each other, they will have a good and peaceful life.

Friendship and Respect

Friendship and Respect (With You)
Afghans are generally hospitable people. They welcome anyone who comes to their home with open arms and happily bring everything they have to the table for their guests. But prolonged conflict has had an impact on the people's ability to make ends meet. Many of the refugees who have been expelled from Iran have to go to their former cities, villages and towns. But many of these returning refugees do not have a home and do not know where to go. They are forced to stay with their friends and relatives until they can decide what to do next.

The Position of Women in Our Society

The Position of Women in Our Society (With You)
In what way can a wife be a suitable companion for her husband? First of all, man needed a companion for procreation—to produce offspring. Second, man needed someone to talk to and share life with. Thirdly, man needed someone to complete him, to complement him and make up for his shortcomings—filling his "missing rib". Why did God choose man’s rib to create woman? It is because women are equal to men, taken from their side. Adam immediately recognised that not only was the woman God created similar to him, but also she shared his very nature. Man and woman both had the same identity intellectually and spiritually.

Jesus Is the Savior and Heavenly Judge (The Word of God for You)
The story of Jesus is a direct answer; He was asked by religious leaders about his power and authority. This story shows that they had a plot to trap him; He was aware. Those who refuse to believe in Jesus; One day- Jesus, who is the cornerstone, will fall on them.

What Does Narrow and Wide Road Mean? (The Word of God for You)
