“Can anyone hide in secret places, so that I cannot see him? Do not I fill Heaven and earth?” Jeremiah 23:24
“人岂能在隐密处藏身，使我看不见他吗？我岂不充满天地吗？”耶利米书23:24
What folly it is to commit sin under the idea of secrecy! That such stupidity prevails in the world, is manifest to all.
在秘密的想法下犯罪是何等愚蠢！这种愚昧在世界上普遍存在，这是显而易见的。
The thief takes advantage of his concealment to lay his hand upon his neighbor’s property.
盗贼利用隐蔽之处对邻舍的财物下手。
The adulterer watches for the return of night, when he may accomplish his wicked purposes without detection, Job 24:15-17
奸夫等待夜晚降临，以便在无人发觉时完成他的邪恶目的。约伯记24:15-17
Sinners of every description commit in secret, what they would not dare to perpetrate, if they knew that the eyes of their fellow-creatures were upon them!
各种罪人在暗中所行的事，若知道他们的同胞在看着他们，就绝不敢做！
Why do they act thus—unless from the atheistic hope that God is not aware of their actions, or from an utter denial of His presence? Such conduct however is folly in the extreme; for “the eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good!” Proverbs 15:3
他们为何如此行事—除非是出于无神论的希望，认为上帝不知道他们的行为，或完全否认祂的存在？然而这样的行为极其愚蠢；因为”耶和华的眼目无处不在，恶人善人祂都鉴察！”箴言15:3
“Even the darkness will not be dark to Him; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to Him!” Psalm 139:12
“黑暗对你也不算黑暗，黑夜要如白昼发亮，黑暗和光明在你看都是一样！”诗篇139:12
As He observes all men—so He will also “bring to light what is hidden in darkness, and will expose the motives of men’s hearts”—as a ground of that sentence which He will one day pass upon all the workers of iniquity! 1 Corinthians 4:5
正如祂察看众人—祂也必”要照出暗中的隐情，显明人心的意念”—这将成为祂日后审判一切作恶之人的根据！哥林多前书4:5
Let this be remembered in reference to all the sins we have ever committed in secret; and let it teach us to seek the forgiveness of them while yet the door of mercy is still open to us.
让我们谨记这一点，想到我们曾在暗中所犯的一切罪；趁着怜悯之门仍然敞开时，让这教导我们寻求赦免。
How vain are the hopes of the hypocrite! “For what hope does the hypocrite have, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?” Job 27:8
伪君子的指望是多么虚空啊！”伪善之人被剪除，神夺取其性命的时候，还有什么指望呢？”约伯记27:8
It is not a very difficult matter to deceive others. Yes, we may also deceive our own selves! But we can never deceive God! However deceptive our conduct may be—God will discern our corrupt motives and principles, and will judge us according to the real quality of our hearts.
欺骗他人并非难事。是的，我们甚至可能欺骗自己！但我们永远无法欺骗神！无论我们的行为多么具有欺骗性，神都能洞察我们败坏的动机和原则，并要按我们内心的真实品质审判我们。
There is one way, and only one, in which we can hide our sins from God—and that is by fleeing to the Lord Jesus Christ for refuge! Then, though God will behold the repentant sinner, He will not behold the sin; for it shall all be “blotted out as a morning cloud,” and be “cast behind Him into the depths of the sea!”
只有一条路，唯一的一条路，可以使我们的罪在神面前隐藏——那就是逃向主耶稣基督寻求庇护！那时，虽然神看见悔改的罪人，却不再看他的罪；因为这一切都将”如同晨云被涂抹”，并被”抛在祂背后的深海中！”
The vilest sinner in the universe, if he is “found in Christ,” shall be “complete in Christ,” and “without spot or blemish before Him!”
宇宙中最卑劣的罪人，若”在基督里被寻见”，就必”在基督里得以完全”，在祂面前”毫无瑕疵污点！”
Such a hiding-place is Christ! “A Man will be . . .
like a shelter from the wind,
and a refuge from the storm,
like streams of water in the desert,
and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land!” Isaiah 32:2
基督就是这样的藏身之处！”必有一人像避风所，和避暴雨的隐密处，又像河流在干旱之地，如大磐石的影子在疲乏之地。”以赛亚书32:2
Such shall be the felicity of all who believe in Him! Acts 10:43
凡信祂的人都必如此蒙福！使徒行传10:43
But it is in vain to hope that by any other means we shall escape the wrath of God. “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account!” Hebrews 4:13
但妄想通过任何其他方式逃避神的愤怒都是徒劳的。”被造的没有一样在祂面前不显然的，原来万物在那与我们有关系的主眼前，都是赤露敞开的。”希伯来书4:13
Every sin not purged away by the blood of Jesus, shall be visited with just and everlasting judgments!
每一个未被耶稣宝血洗净的罪，都必受到公正和永恒的审判！
