(箴言 16:2)
“人一切所行的，在自己眼中看為清潔．
在希伯來文化中，「行」這個字也包含了言語。當我們做事或向他人表達時，往往傾向於為自己辯護，認為自己做得很好，動機純真且坦蕩蕩。然而，經文後半部提醒我們，唯有神能像天平一樣精確地衡量我們的內心與動機，祂的判斷比任何電子磅都要精準。
因此，我們要反思，當我們表達自己時，應該保持謙卑的態度。我們不應主觀地認定自己所做的一切絕對正確、毫無雜念，而是要讓神來察驗和觀察。若我們自負或自視過高，便難以與人溝通。
(Proverbs 16:2) “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.”
In Hebrew culture, the word for ways or actions also encompasses speech. When we act or express ourselves to others, we often tend to defend ourselves, believing that we have done well and that our motives are pure and upright. However, the latter part of the verse reminds us that only God can accurately weigh our hearts and motives as if on a scale; His judgment is more precise than any electronic balance.
Therefore, we must reflect on the fact that when we express ourselves, we should maintain an attitude of humility. We should not subjectively assume that everything we do is absolutely correct and free of stray thoughts, but rather allow God to examine and observe us. If we are conceited or think too highly of ourselves, it becomes difficult to communicate with others.
