“旧约·以赛亚书33∶15-16” 行事公义、说话正直、憎恶欺压的财利、摆手不受贿赂、塞耳不听流血的话，闭眼不看邪恶事的，他必居高处；他的保障是磐石的坚垒；他的粮必不缺乏；他的水必不断绝。
He who walks righteously and speaks what is right， who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes， who stops his ears against plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil—this is the man who will dwell on the heights， whose refuge will be the mountain fortress。 His bread will be supplied， and water will not fail him。
很多人认为正直的人会吃亏，其实，他们吃亏是表面的，没有贪污受贿，不干偷鸡摸狗的事情，只是表面上没有得到更多的财产，但他们守住了纯洁的灵魂，内心坦然，不至于每天惶惶不可终日地过活。
