(箴言 15:6)
“義人家中，多有財寶．惡人得利，反受擾害。”
這是一個非常有趣的對比。所謂的義人，是指敬畏上帝、按照上帝心意生活的人，而惡人則恰恰相反。
經文中財寶的原意其實包含了穩定與安穩的意思。這並不一定單指物質上的財富，一個敬畏上帝的人，他所擁有的更多是內心的安穩、平安與喜樂，甚至也包括物質上的供應。
相比之下，惡人雖然也可能得利，但得利這個詞的原意其實是搞動。這意味著即便他們獲得了利益，生活卻往往處於不安穩與紛亂之中。
這不僅僅是說結果，也指他們獲取利益的途徑。義人賺取財富是用正直正確的方式，而惡人則像是混水摸魚，無論是過程還是結果，都充滿了混亂。
所以箴言給了我們一個很好的警戒。我們都希望生活能夠平穩、安穩且平平安安，而不是空有很多東西，卻整天活在混亂與紛擾裡。我們應當學習敬畏上帝，行祂眼中看為正的事。
(Proverbs 15:6)
“In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. “
This presents a very interesting contrast. The so-called righteous refers to those who fear God and live according to His will, whereas the wicked are quite the opposite. In the original context of this scripture, the word for treasure actually encompasses the meanings of stability and security. This does not necessarily refer solely to material wealth; a person who fears God possesses a deeper internal stability, peace, and joy, which can even include material provision.
In comparison, although the wicked may gain revenue, the original meaning of this gain actually implies a sense of agitation or disturbance. This means that even if they acquire benefits, their lives often remain in a state of instability and turmoil.
This applies not only to the end result but also to the methods by which they obtain their gains. The righteous earn wealth through integrity and proper means, while the wicked operate as if fishing in troubled waters; whether in the process or the outcome, their lives are filled with chaos. Therefore, Proverbs provides us with a profound warning. We all hope for a life that is steady, secure, and peaceful, rather than possessing many things yet living every day amidst confusion and strife. We should learn to fear God and do what is right in His eyes.
