(箴言 16:5)
“凡心裡驕傲的，為耶和華所憎惡．雖然連手，他必不免受罰。”
在希伯來文中，驕傲代表一個人的心不斷向上升，甚至把自己擺在比神更高、更重要的位置。這在神眼中是極大的道德罪行，神非常厭惡這種態度。
經文中提到的連手，是指那些傲慢的人往往不滿足於獨自驕傲，他們會找志同道合的朋友結盟，一起對抗神的命令，自以為很前衛、很有能力，甚至覺得神也阻攔不了他們。但經文提醒我們，這些人最終都無法逃脫神的審判。
在日常生活中，我們常看到有人自恃經驗豐富、智商高或能力強，就忽視聖經的原則，甚至成群結隊地挑戰神的旨意。這種心態是非常危險的。我們必須明白，如果沒有了神，我們其實什麼都做不到，一切都是依靠神的恩典與能力。
所以，我們除了要時刻保持謙卑，也要遠離那些誘惑我們不聽神話語的驕傲之人。
(Proverbs 16:5)
“Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.”
In Hebrew, pride represents a person’s heart constantly rising, even placing oneself in a position higher and more important than God. This is a great moral offense in the eyes of God, and He deeply detests such an attitude.
The phrase joined in hand mentioned in the scripture refers to how those who are arrogant are often not satisfied with being proud alone; they seek like-minded friends to form alliances to defy God’s commands. They think of themselves as being very avant-garde or capable, even believing that God cannot stop them. However, the scripture reminds us that these people will ultimately not escape God’s judgment.
In daily life, we often see people who rely on their extensive experience, high IQ, or abilities to ignore biblical principles, even banding together to challenge God’s will. This mindset is extremely dangerous. We must understand that without God, we can actually do nothing; everything relies on His grace and power.
Therefore, besides maintaining humility at all times, we must also stay away from those proud individuals who tempt us to ignore God’s word.
