以西结书 20

Studie

   

1 第七年五初十日,有以色列的几个长老求问耶和华在我面前。

2 耶和华的临到我说:

3 人子啊,你要告诉以色列的长老耶和华如此:你们是求问我麽?耶和华:我指着我的永生起誓,我必不被你们求问。

4 人子啊,你要审问审问他们麽?你当使他们知道他们列祖那些可憎的事,

5 对他们耶和华如此:当日我拣选以色列,向雅各家的後裔起誓,在埃及将自己向他们显现,:我是耶和华─你们的

6 那日我向他们起誓,必领他们出埃及,到我为他们察看的流奶与蜜之;那在万国中是有荣耀的。

7 我对他们,你们各要抛弃眼所喜爱那可憎之物,不可因埃及偶像玷污自己。我是耶和华─你们的

8 他们却悖逆我,不肯从我,不抛弃他们眼所喜爱那可憎之物,不离弃埃及偶像。我就,我要将我的忿怒倾在他们身上,在埃及向他们成就我怒中所定的。

9 我却为我名的缘故没有这样行,免得我名在他们所住的列国人眼前被亵渎;我领他们出埃及,在这列国人的眼前将自己向他们显现。

10 这样,我就使他们出埃及,领他们到旷野

11 将我的律例赐他们,将我的典章指示他们;人若遵行就必因此活着。

12 又将我的安息日赐他们,好在我与他们中间为证据,使他们知道我─耶和华是叫他们成为的。

13 以色列家却在旷野悖逆我,不顺从我的律例,厌弃我的典章(人若遵行就必因此活着),大大干犯我的安息日。我就,要在旷野将我的忿怒倾在他们身上,灭绝他们。

14 我却为我名的缘故,没有这样行,免得我的名在我领他们出埃及的列国人眼前被亵渎。

15 并且我在旷野向他们起誓,必不领他们进入我所赐他们流奶与蜜之(那在万国中是有荣耀的);

16 因为他们厌弃我的典章,不顺从我的律例,干犯我的安息日,他们的随从自己的偶像

17 虽然如此,我眼仍顾惜他们,不毁灭他们,不在旷野将他们灭绝净尽。

18 我在旷野对他们的儿女:不要遵行你们父亲的律例,不要谨守他们的恶规,也不要因他们的偶像玷污自己。

19 我是耶和华─你们的,你们要顺从我的律例,谨守遵行我的典章,

20 且以我的安息日为。这日在我与你们中间为证据,使你们知道我是耶和华─你们的

21 只是他们的儿女悖逆我,不顺从我的律例,也不谨守遵行我的典章(人若遵行就必因此活着),干犯我的安息日。我就,要将我的忿怒倾在他们身上,在旷野向他们成就我怒中所定的。

22 虽然如此,我却为我名的缘故缩没有这样行,免得我的名在我领他们出埃及的列国人眼前被亵渎。

23 并且我在旷野向他们起誓,必将他们分散在列国,四散在列邦;

24 因为他们不遵行我的典章,竟厌弃我的律例,干犯我的安息日,眼目仰望他们父亲偶像

25 我也任他们遵行不美的律例,谨守不能使人活着的恶规。

26 因他们将一切头生的经火,我就任凭他们在这供献的事上玷污自己,好叫他们凄凉,使他们知道我是耶和华

27 人子啊,你要告诉以色列耶和华如此:你们的列祖在得罪我的事上亵渎我;

28 因为我领他们到了我起誓应许赐他们的,他们见各山、各茂密,就在那里献祭,奉上惹我发怒的供物,也在那里焚烧馨的祭牲,并浇上奠祭。

29 我就对他们:你们所上的那甚麽呢?(那处的名字巴麻直到今日。)

30 所以你要对以色列耶和华如此:你们仍照你们列祖所行的玷污自己麽?仍照他们可憎的事行邪淫麽?

31 你们奉上供物使你们儿子的时候,仍将一切偶像玷污自己,直到今日麽?以色列家啊,我岂被你们求问麽?耶和华:我指着我的永生起誓,我必不被你们求问。

32 你们:我们要像外邦人和列国的宗族一样,去事奉头与石头。你们所起的这心意万不能成就。

33 耶和华:我指着我的永生起誓,我总要作王,用大能的和伸出来的膀,并倾出来的忿怒,治理你们。

34 我必用大能的和伸出来的膀,并倾出来的忿怒,将你们从万民中领出来,从分散的列国内聚集你们。

35 我必你们到外邦人的旷野,在那里当面刑罚你们。

36 我怎样在埃及旷野刑罚你们的列祖,也必照样刑罚你们。这是耶和华的。

37 我必使你们从杖经过,使你们被约拘束。

38 我必从你们中间除净叛逆和得罪我的人,将他们从所寄居的方领出,他们却不得入以色列。你们就知道我是耶和华

39 以色列家啊,至於你们,耶和华如此:从此以若不从我,就任凭你们去事奉偶像,只是不可再因你们的供物和偶像亵渎我的名。

40 耶和华:在我的,就是以色列处的,所有以色列的全家都要事奉我。我要在那里悦纳你们,向你们要供物和初熟的土产,并一切的物。

41 我从万民中领你们出来,从分散的列国内聚集你们,那时我必悦纳你们好像馨之祭,要在外邦人眼前在你们身上显为

42 我领你们进入以色列,就是我起誓应许赐你们列祖之,那时你们就知道我是耶和华

43 你们在那里要追念玷污自己的行动作为,又要因所做的一切恶事厌恶自己。

44 耶和华以色列家啊,我为我名的缘故,不照着你们的恶行和你们的坏事待你们;你们就知道我是耶和华

45 耶和华的临到我说:

46 人子啊,你要面向南方,向南滴下预言攻击方田野的树林。

47 方的,要耶和华的耶和华如此:我必使在你中间着起,烧灭你中间的一切青和枯,猛烈的焰必不熄灭。从,人的脸面都被烧焦。

48 凡有血气的都必知道是我─耶和华使火着起,这火必不熄灭。

49 於是我:哎!耶和华啊,人都指着我:他岂不是比喻的麽?

[2] 2. The arousal of life:

Jehovah has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. (Jeremiah 51:11)

Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel...and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. (Haggai 1:14)

[4] 4. Life in a state of fear, distress, and anger:

“...provided there is no deceit in his spirit.” (Psalms 32:2)

Jehovah has mingled a spirit of perversity in her midst. (Isaiah 19:14)

...said (He)...to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit.... (Ezekiel 13:3)

The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is insane. (Hosea 9:7)

Be observant by your spirit, and do not deal treacherously. (Malachi 2:16)

...a spirit of harlotry is in their midst.... (Hosea 5:4)

When a spirit of jealousy comes upon him.... (Numbers 5:14)

...a man who is a wanderer in spirit, and he prattles falsehood.... (Micah 2:11)

...a generation...whose spirit was not steadfast with God. (Psalms 78:8)

...poured out on (them) a spirit of drowsiness.... (Isaiah 29:10)

Conceive chaff, bring forth stubble; as for your spirit, fire shall shall devour you. (Isaiah 33:11)

[6] 6. Hellish life:

I will...cause...the unclean spirit to depart from the land. (Zechariah 13:2)

When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places.... And then he...attaches to himself seven worse spirits than himself, and they enter and dwell there. (Matthew 12:43-45)

...Babylon...has become a dwelling place of...a foul spirit.... (Revelation 18:2)
