有一个打铁的铁匠说：“只有一件事是我们所怕的，就是被神丢到碎铁堆里去。”

"There is only one thing," said a village blacksmith, "that I fear, and that is to be thrown on the scrap heap."

人们所要的是强健的，成功的，胜利的，不碎的；但是神所要的乃是在地上不成功的，失败的，伤心的，软弱的。

Men want only the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unbroken, in building their kingdoms; but God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed.

亚多尼比色说、从前有七十个王、手脚的大姆指都被我砍断、在我桌子底下拾取零碎食物．现在神按著我所行的报应我了。

Then Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them."
