“Does He not see my ways and count my every step?” Job 31:4
“祂岂不是看见我的道路，数算我的一切脚步吗？” 约伯记31:4
“A man’s ways are in full view of the LORD, and He examines all his paths.” Proverbs 5:21
“人的道路都在耶和华眼前，他也细察人一切的行径。” 箴言5:21
“The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” Proverbs 15:3
“耶和华的眼目无处不在，恶人善人他都鉴察。” 箴言15:3
“My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from Me, nor is their sin concealed from My eyes.” Jeremiah 16:17
“因为我的眼目察看他们的一切行为，他们不能在我面前遮掩，他们的罪孽也不能在我眼前隐藏。” 耶利米书16:17
How solemn is the thought, that an invisible Being is ever at our side and watching us—recording with rapid pen each deed and word; every desire that rises, though it is to burst like a soap-bubble; and every thought that passes, though on an eagle’s wing.
多么庄严的思想啊，一个看不见的存在永远在我们身边注视着我们——用快速的笔记录着每一个行为和言语；每一个升起的欲望，即使它会像肥皂泡一样破裂；每一个掠过的思想，即使它像鹰翼般迅疾。
We cannot shake off the presence of God! When doors are shut, and curtains drawn, and all is still, and darkest night fills our chamber, and we are left alone with our thoughts—it might keep them pure and holy to say, as if we saw two shining eyes looking on us out of the darkness, “You, O God, see me!”
我们无法摆脱上帝的同在！当门关上，窗帘拉上，一切寂静，最黑暗的夜晚充满我们的房间，我们独自与思绪相伴时——仿佛看到黑暗中有两道发光的眼睛注视着我们，说”上帝啊，你看见我！”这样想着，或许能保持思想的纯洁与圣洁。
May God help you to feel yourselves at all times in His immediate presence!
愿上帝帮助你们时刻感受到祂直接的同在！
How promptly then would every evil thought be banished!
What unholy deeds would be crushed in the desire, nipped in the bud, strangled in the birth!
What crimes would remain uncommitted.
How feeble would the strongest temptations prove!
What a purity, nobility, loftiness, holiness, heavenliness—would be imparted to your whole bearing and conduct!
那么，邪恶的思想将会多么迅速地被驱散！
不洁的行为将在欲望中被粉碎，在萌芽时被掐断，在诞生时被扼杀！
多少罪行将不会发生。
最强烈的诱惑将变得多么软弱！
何等的纯洁、高贵、崇高、圣洁、天性——将赋予你全部的举止和行为！
“Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?” declares the LORD.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:23-24
“人岂能在隐密处藏身，使我看不见他呢？”这是耶和华说的。
“我岂不充满天地吗？”这是耶和华说的。 耶利米书23:23-24
