耶利米哀歌 2

Studie

   

1 主何竟發怒,使黑雲遮蔽錫安城!他將以色列的華美從扔在上;在他發怒的日子並不記念自己的腳凳

2 雅各一切的住處,並不顧惜。他發怒傾覆猶大民的保障,使這保障坍倒在;他辱沒這國和其中的首領。

3 他發烈怒,把以色列的角全然砍斷,在仇敵面前收回右手。他像焰四圍吞滅,將雅各燒毀。

4 他張好像仇敵;他站著舉起右手,如同敵人將悅人眼目的,盡行殺戮。在錫安百姓的帳棚上倒出他的忿怒,像一樣。

5 主如仇敵以色列和錫安的一切宮殿,拆毀百姓的保障;在猶大民中加增悲傷哭號。

6 他強取自己的帳幕,好像是園中的窩棚,毀壞他的聚會之處。耶和華使聖節和安息日在錫安都被忘記,又在怒氣的憤恨中藐視君王和祭司。

7 耶和華丟棄自己的祭壇,憎惡自己的聖所,將宮殿的牆垣交付仇敵。他們在耶和華的殿中喧嚷,像在聖會之日一樣。

8 耶和華定意拆毀錫安的城牆;他拉了準繩,不將收回,定要毀滅。他使外郭和城牆都悲哀,一同衰敗。

9 錫安的都陷入內;將她的閂毀壞,折斷。她的君王和首領落在沒有律法的列國中;她的先知不得見耶和華的異象

10 錫安城的長老上默默無聲;他們揚起塵土落在上,腰束麻布耶路撒冷處女

11 我眼中流淚,以致失明,我的心腸擾亂,膽塗,都因我眾民遭毀滅,又因孩童和吃奶的在城內街上發昏。

12 那時,他們在城內街上發昏,好像受傷的,在母親的裡,將要喪命;對母親:穀、酒在哪裡呢?

13 耶路撒冷的民哪,我可用甚麼向你證明呢?我可用甚麼與你相比呢?錫安的民哪,我可拿甚麼和你比較,好安慰你呢?因為你的裂口,誰能醫治你呢?

14 你的先知為你見虛假和愚昧的異象,並沒有顯露你的罪孽,使你被擄的歸回;卻為你見虛假的默示和使你被趕出本境的緣故。

15 凡過的都向你拍掌。他們向耶路撒冷城嗤笑,搖:難道人所稱為全美的,稱為全所喜悅的,就是這城嗎?

16 你的仇敵都向你大大張;他們嗤笑,又切齒:我們滅她。這真是我們所盼望的日子臨到了!我們親眼見了!

17 耶和華成就了他所定的,應驗了他古時所命定的。他傾覆了,並不顧惜,使你的仇敵向你誇耀;使你敵人的角也被高舉。

18 錫安民的哀求主。錫安的城牆啊,願你淚如,晝夜不息;願你眼中的瞳人淚不止。

19 夜間,每逢交更的時候要起來呼喊,在主面前傾。你的孩童在各市口上受餓發昏;你要為他們的性命向主舉手禱告。

20 耶和華啊,求你觀!見你向誰這樣行?婦人豈可自己所生育手裡所搖弄的嬰孩嗎?祭司和先知豈可在主的聖所中被殺戮嗎?

21 少年人和老年人都在街上躺臥;我的處女和壯丁都倒在刀下;你發怒的日子殺死他們。你殺了,並不顧惜。

22 你招聚四圍驚嚇我的,像在大會的日子招聚人一樣。耶和華發怒的日子,無人逃脫,無人存留。我所搖弄所養育的嬰孩,仇敵都殺淨了。

Apocalypse Revealed # 492

492. "Clothed in sackcloth." This symbolizes the grief experienced meanwhile over the truth's not being accepted.

Being clothed in sackcloth symbolizes grief over the destruction of truth in the church, for garments symbolize truths (nos. 166, 212, 328, 378, 379). Consequently to be clothed in sackcloth, which is not a garment, symbolizes grief over the lack of truth, and where there is no truth, there is no church.

The children of Israel represented grief in various ways, which, because of their correspondence, were symbolic. For example, they would put ash on their heads, roll around in the dust, sit on the ground for a long time in silence, shave themselves, beat their breasts and wail, rend their garments, and also clothe themselves in sackcloth, and so on. Each action symbolized some evil in the church among them for which they were being punished. Then, when they were being punished, they put on a representation of repentance in these ways, and because of their representation of repentance, and at the same time then of their humbling themselves, they were heard.

[2] That putting on sackcloth represented grief over the destruction of truth in the church may be seen from the following passages:

The lion has come up from his thicket... He has gone forth from his place to make your land desolate... For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament, wail. (Jeremiah 4:7-8)

O daughter of my people, gird yourself in sackcloth and roll about in ashes! ...For the destroyer will suddenly come upon us. (Jeremiah 6:26)

Woe to you, Chorazin (and) Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented... in sackcloth and ashes. (Matthew 11:21, Luke 10:13)

After the king of Nineveh heard the words of Jonah, he "laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes." Moreover, he proclaimed a fast and ordered that "man and beast be covered with sackcloth." (Jonah 3:5-8)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 3:24; 15:2-3; 22:12; 37:1-2; 50:3; Jeremiah 48:37-38; 49:3; Lamentations 2:10; Ezekiel 7:17-18; 27:31; Daniel 9:3; Joel 1:8, 13; Amos 8:10; Job 16:15-16; Psalms 30:11; Psalms 35:13; 69:10-11; 2 Samuel 3:31; 1 Kings 21:27; 2 Kings 6:30; 19:1-2.
