耶利米书 25

Studie

   

1 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年,就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的元年,耶和华论犹大众民的临到耶利米

2 先知耶利米就将这话对犹大众人和耶路撒冷的一切居民

3 犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚十三年直到今日,这二十三年之内,常有耶和华的临到我;我也对你们传,就是从起来,只是你们没有听从。

4 耶和华也从起来,差遣他的仆人先知到你们这里来(只是你们没有从,也没有侧耳而),

5 :你们各人当回头,离开恶道和所作的恶,便可居住耶和华古时所赐你们和你们列祖之地,直到永远

6 不可随从别事奉敬拜,以你们所作的惹我发怒;这样,我就不加害与你们。

7 然而你们没有从我,竟以所做的惹我发怒,陷害自己。这是耶和华的。

8 所以万军之耶和华如此:因为你们没有从我的

9 我必召北方的众族和我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒攻击这和这居民,并四围一切的国民。我要将他们尽行灭绝,以致他们令人惊骇、嗤笑,并且永久荒凉。这是耶和华的。

10 我又要使欢喜和快乐的声音新郎和新妇的声音,推磨的声音的亮,从他们中间止息。

11 这全必然荒凉,令人惊骇。这些国民要服事巴比伦王七十年。

12 七十年满了以後,我必刑罚巴比伦王和那国民,并迦勒底人,因他们的罪孽使那永远荒凉。这是耶和华的。

13 我也必使我向那,就是记在这上的,是耶利米向这些国民的预言,都临到那

14 因为有多国和必使迦勒底人作奴仆;我也必照他们的行为,按他们所做的报应他们。

15 耶和华以色列的对我如此:你从我中接这杯忿怒的酒,使我所差遣你去的各国的民喝。

16 他们了就要东倒西歪,并要发狂,因我使刀临到他们中间。

17 我就从耶和华的中接了这杯,给耶和华所差遣我去的各国的民喝,

18 就是耶路撒冷犹大的城邑,并耶路撒冷的君与首领,使这城邑荒凉,令人惊骇、嗤笑、咒诅,正如今日一样。

19 又有埃及法老和他的臣仆、首领,以及他的众民,

20 并杂族的人民和乌斯的诸,与非利士的诸(亚实基伦、迦萨、以革伦,以及亚实突剩下的人);

21 以东摩押、亚扪人、

22 推罗的诸、西顿的诸的诸

23 底但、提玛、布斯,和一切剃周围头发的;

24 亚拉伯的诸、住旷野杂族人民的诸

25 心利的诸、以拦的诸、玛代的诸

26 北方远近的诸,以及天下上的万国了,以示沙克(就是巴比伦)也要

27 你要对他们:万军之耶和华以色列的如此:你们要,且要,要呕吐,且要跌倒,不得再起来,都因我使刀临到你们中间。

28 他们若不肯从你接这杯,你就要对他们:万军之耶和华如此:你们一定要

29 我既从称为我名下的城起首施行灾祸,你们能尽免刑罚麽?你们必不能免,因为我要命刀临到上一切的居民。这是万军之耶和华的。

30 所以你要向他们预言这一切的,攻击他们,耶和华必从天吼叫,从所发声,向自己的羊群大声吼叫;他要向上一切的居民呐喊,像踹葡萄的一样。

31 必有响声达到极,因为耶和华与列国相争;凡有血气的,他必审问;至於恶人,他必交。这是耶和华的。

32 万军之耶和华如此:看哪,必有灾祸从这国发到那国,并有暴风从极刮起。

33 到那日,从这边直到那边都有耶和华所杀戮的。必无人哀哭,不得收殓,不得葬埋,必在上成为粪土。

34 牧人哪,你们当哀号,呼喊;众的头目啊,你们要滚在灰中;因为你们被杀戮分散的日子足足来到。你们要跌碎,好像美器打碎一样。

35 牧人无逃跑;众的头目也无法逃脱。

36 听啊,有牧人呼喊,有众头目哀号的声音,因为耶和华使他们的草场变为荒场。

37 耶和华发出猛烈的怒气,平安的羊圈就都寂静无声。

38 他离了隐密处像狮子一样,他们的,因刀剑凶猛的欺压,又因他猛烈的怒气都成为可惊骇的。

471. It does say in many places in the Word that we will be judged and requited according to our deeds and works. I should like to cite a few passages here.

The Human-born One is to come in the glory of the Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his or her works. (Matthew 16:17 [16:27])

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. Truly, says the spirit, so that they may rest from their labors, their works follow them. (Revelation 14:11 [Revelation 14:13]?)

I will give to all according to their works. (Revelation 2:23)

I saw the dead, small and great, standing in the presence of God, and books were opened, and the dead were judged according to what was written in the books, according to their works; the sea gave up those who had died in it, and death and hell gave up the people who were in them, and they were all judged according to their works. (Revelation 20:13, 15 [Revelation 20:12-13])

See, I am coming; and my reward is with me, and I will give to all according to their works. (Revelation 22:12)

Everyone who hears my words and does them I will compare to a prudent person, but everyone who hears my words and does not do them is like a foolish person. (Matthew 7:24, 26)

Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Many people will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through your name, and through your name cast out demons, and in your name done many powerful deeds?" But then I will confess to them, "I do not recognize you. Get away from me, workers of iniquity." (Matthew 7:22-23)

Then you will begin to say, "We have eaten in your presence and drunk, and you have taught in our streets." But he will say, "I tell you, I do not recognize you, workers of iniquity." (Luke 13:25-27)

I will repay them according to their work, and according to the deeds of their hands. (Jeremiah 25:14)

Jehovah, whose eyes are open upon all our paths, to give to us all according to our ways and according to the fruit of our works. (Jeremiah 32:19)

I will visit upon their ways and repay them their works. (Hosea 4:9)

Jehovah deals with us according to our ways and according to our works. (Zechariah 1:6)

Where the Lord is predicting the Last Judgment, he recounts only deeds, and [says] that the people who have done good works will enter eternal life, and that the people who have done evil works will enter damnation (Matthew 25:32-46). There are many other passages as well that deal with our salvation and damnation.

We can see that our outward life consists of our works and deeds, and that the quality of our inner life is manifested through them.
