詩篇(Psalm) 12:1-4 the children of men

詩篇(Psalm) 12:1 耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了；世人中間的忠信人沒有了。

12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

12:4 他們曾說：我們必能以舌頭得勝；我們的嘴唇是我們自己的，誰能作我們的主呢？

12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

(誰是我們的主？）

• Children of men: 人的孩子們

創世記(Genesis) 11:5 耶和華降臨，要看看世人所建造的城和塔。

11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

詩篇(Psalm) 12:2 人人向鄰舍說謊；他們說話，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。

12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

• Flattering lips： 諂媚的嘴唇

箴言(Proverbs) 7:13 拉住那少年人，與他親嘴，臉無羞恥對他說：

7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

7:14 平安祭在我這裏，今日才還了我所許的願。

7:14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

7:15 因此，我出來迎接你，懇切求見你的面，恰巧遇見了你。

7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

7:21 淫婦用許多巧言誘他隨從，用諂媚的嘴逼他同行。

7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

7:22 少年人立刻跟隨她，好像牛往宰殺之地；又像愚昧人帶鎖鍊去受刑罰，

7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

箴言(Proverbs) 26:28 虛謊的舌恨他所壓傷的人；諂媚的口敗壞人的事。

26:28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

（諂媚的口製作敗壞）

約伯記(Job) 32:21 我必不看人的情面，也不奉承人。

32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

以西結書(Ezekiel) 12:24 從此，在以色列家中必不再有虛假的異象和奉承的占卜。

12:24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

帖撒羅尼迦前書(1 Thessalonians) 2:5 因為我們從來沒有用過諂媚的話，這是你們知道的；也沒有藏着貪心，這是神可以作見證的。

2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:

• Double heart：二心

何西阿書(Hosea) 10:1 以色列是茂盛的葡萄樹，結果繁多。果子越多，就越增添祭壇；地土越肥美，就越造美麗的柱像。

10:2 他們心懷二意，現今要定為有罪。耶和華必拆毀他們的祭壇，毀壞他們的柱像。

10:2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

路加福音(Luke) 16:13 一個僕人不能事奉兩個主；不是惡這個愛那個，就是重這個輕那個。你們不能又事奉神，又事奉瑪門。」

16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

路加福音(Luke) 9:62 耶穌說：「手扶着犂向後看的，不配進神的國。」

馬太福音(Matthew) 22:37 耶穌對他說：「你要**盡心**、盡性、盡意愛主－你的神。

22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

路加福音(Luke) 4:8 耶穌說：「經上記着說：當拜主－你的神，**單**要事奉他。」

4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
