詩編 12:2

聖書日本語

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.12.1" class="versetxt"> 1 主よ、お助けください。神を敬う人は絶え、忠信な者は人の子らのなかから消えうせました。2 人はみなその隣り人に偽りを語り、へつらいのくちびると、ふたごころとをもって語る。3 主はすべてのへつらいのくちびると、大きな事を語る舌とを断たれるように。4 彼らは言う、「わたしたちは舌をもって勝を得よう、わたしたちのくちびるはわたしたちのものだ、だれがわたしたちの主人であるか」と。5 主は言われる、「貧しい者がかすめられ、乏しい者が嘆くゆえに、わたしはいま立ちあがって、彼らをその慕い求める安全な所に置こう」と。6 主のことばは清き言葉である。地に設けた炉で練り、七たびきよめた銀のようである。7 主よ、われらを保ち、とこしえにこの人々から免れさせてください。8 卑しい事が人の子のなかにあがめられている時、悪しき者はいたる所でほしいままに歩いています。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They speak vanity everyone with his neighbour,.... That which is false and a lie, either doctrinal or practical; what was not according to the word of God, and was vain and empty, frothy, filthy, and corrupt; and which no godly and faithful man would do. And this being done in common, by the generality of men, one with another, shows the degeneracy of the age, and supports the complaint before made. They speak even

[with] flattering lips; as Cain did to Abel, Joab to Amasa, the Herodians to Christ, Judas to his Master, false teachers to those that are simple, hypocrites to God himself, when they draw nigh to him only with their lips, and all formal professors to the churches of Christ, when they profess themselves to be what they are not. And this is a further proof of the justness of the above complaint;

[and] with a double heart do they speak: or "with an heart and an heart" d; such are double minded men, who say one thing, and mean another; their words are not to be depended upon; there is no faithfulness in them. The Chinese e reckon a man of "two hearts", as they call him, a very wicked man, and none more remote from honesty.

d בלב ולב "in corde & corde", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Gejerus. e Martin. Sinic. Hist. p. 144. a heart having διχομυθον νοημα, a double meaning, as Pittacus says, Laert. in Vit. Pittac. l. 1. p. 53.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They speak vanity - This is a statement of the “manner” in which the “godly” and the “faithful” fail, as stated in Psalms 12:1. One of the ways was that there was a disregard of truth; that no confidence could be placed on the statements of those who professed to be pious; that they dealt falsely with their neighbors. The word “vanity” here is equivalent to “falsehood.” What they spoke was a vain and empty thing, instead of being the truth. It had no reality, and could not be depended on.

Every one with his neighbour - In his statements and promises. No reliance could be placed on his word.

With flattering lips - Hebrew, “Lips of smoothness.” The verb from which the word used here is derived - חלק chālaq - means properly to divide, to distribute; then, to make things equal or smooth; then, to make smooth or to shape, as an artisan does, as with a plane; and then, “to make things smooth with the tongue,” that is, “to flatter.” See Psalms 5:9; Proverbs 5:3; Proverbs 26:28; Proverbs 28:23; Proverbs 29:5. The meaning is, that no confidence could be placed in the statements made. There was no certainty that they were founded on truth; none that they were not intended to deceive. Flattery is the ascribing of qualities to another which he is known not to possess - usually with some sinister or base design.

And with a double heart - Margin, as in Hebrew, “a heart and a heart;” that is, as it were, with two hearts, one that gives utterance to the words, and the other that retains a different sentiment. Thus, in Deuteronomy 25:13, the phrase in Hebrew, “a stone and a stone” means, as it is translated, “divers weights” - one stone or weight to buy with, and another to sell with. So the flatterer. He has one heart to give utterance to the words which he uses toward his neighbor, and another that conceals his real purpose or design. No confidence, therefore, could be placed in such persons. Compare the note at Job 32:22.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 12:2. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour — They are false and hollow; they say one thing while they mean another; there is no trusting to what they say.

Flattering lips, and with a double heart do they speak — בלב ולב beleb valeb, "With a heart and a heart." They seem to have two hearts; one to speak fair words, and the other to invent mischief. The old MS. both translates and paraphrases curiously.

Trans. Dayn spak ilkan til his neghbur: swykil lippis in hert, and thurgh hert thai spak.

Par. - Sothfastnes es lessed, and falsed waxes: and al sa vayn spak ilkone to bygyle his neghbur: and many spendes thair tyme in vayne speche withoutyn profyte and gastely frute. And that er swyku lippis; that er jangelers berkand ogaynes sothfastnes. And swykel, for thai speke in hert and thurgh hert; that es in dubil hert, qwen a fals man thynkes ane, and sais another, to desaif hym that he spekes with.

This homely comment cannot be mended.
