耶利米书 48

Studie

   

1 摩押。万军之耶和华以色列的如此:尼波有祸了!因变为荒场。基列亭蒙羞被攻取。米斯迦蒙羞被毁坏;

2 摩押不再被称赞。有人在希实本设计谋害他,说:来罢!我们将他剪除,不再成国。玛得缅哪,你也必默默无声;刀必追赶你。

3 从何罗念有喊荒凉毁灭的哀声:

4 摩押毁灭了!他的孩童(或译:家僮)发哀声,使人见。

5 人上鲁希坡随走随哭,因为在何罗念的下坡见毁灭的哀声。

6 你们要奔逃,自性命,独自居住,好像旷野的杜松。

7 你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的财宝必被攻取。基抹和属他的祭司、首领也要一同被掳去。

8 行毁灭的必到各城,并无一城得免。山谷必致败落,平原必被毁坏;正如耶和华的。

9 要将翅膀摩押,使他可以飞去。他的城邑必致荒凉,无人居住

10 (懒惰为耶和华行事的,必受咒诅;禁止刀不经血的,必受咒诅。)

11 摩押自幼年以来常享安逸,如酒在渣滓上澄清,没有从这器皿倒在那器皿里,也未曾被掳去。因此,他的原味尚存,香气未变。

12 耶和华:“日子将到,我必打发倒酒的往他那里去,将他倒出

13 摩押必因基抹羞愧,像以色列家从前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一样。

14 你们怎麽:我们是勇士,是有勇力打仗的呢?

15 摩押变为荒场,敌人上去进了他的城邑。他所特选的少年人去遭了杀戮;这是君王─名为万军之耶和华的。

16 摩押的灾殃临近;他的苦难速速到。

17 凡在他四围的和认识他名的,你们都要为他悲伤,:那结实的杖和那美好的棍,何竟折断了呢?

18 在底本的民哪(原文是女子),要从你荣耀的位上来,受乾渴;因毁灭摩押的上来攻击你,毁坏了你的保障。

19 住亚罗珥的啊,要站在道旁观望,问逃避的男人和逃脱的女人:是甚麽事呢?

20 摩押因毁坏蒙羞;你们要哀号呼喊,要在亚嫩旁报告说:摩押变为荒场!

21 刑罚临到平原之的何伦、雅杂、米法押、

22 底本、尼波、伯.低比拉太音、

23 基列亭、伯迦末、伯.米恩、

24 加略、波斯拉,和摩押远近所有的城邑。

25 摩押的角砍断了,摩押的膀折断了。这是耶和华的。

26 你们要使摩押沉醉,因他向耶和华夸大。他要在自己所吐之中打滚,又要被人嗤笑。

27 摩押啊,你不曾嗤笑以色列麽?他岂是在贼中查出来的呢?你每逢提到他便摇头。

28 摩押居民哪,要离开城邑,在山崖里,像鸽子在深渊上搭窝。

29 我们摩押人骄傲,是极其骄傲;说他自高自傲,并且狂妄,居自大。

30 耶和华:我知道他的忿怒是虚空的;他夸大的话一无所成。

31 因此,我要为摩押哀号,为摩押全地呼喊;人必为吉珥.哈列设人叹息。

32 西比玛的葡萄树啊,我为你哀哭,甚於雅谢人哀哭。你的枝子蔓延过,直长到雅谢。那行毁灭的已经临到你夏天的果子和你所摘的葡萄。

33 肥田和摩押的欢喜快乐都被夺去,我使酒醡的酒绝流,无人踹酒欢呼,那欢呼却变为仇敌的吶喊。〔原文作那欢呼却不是欢呼〕

34 希实本人发的哀声达到以利亚利,直达到雅杂;从琐珥达到何罗念,直到伊基拉施利施亚,因为宁林的水必然乾涸。

35 耶和华:我必在摩押地使那在邱坛献祭的,和那向他的烧香的都断绝了。

36 腹为摩押哀鸣如箫,我肠为吉珥.哈列设人也是如此,因摩押人所得的财物都灭没了。

37 各人上光,胡须剪短,有划伤,腰束麻布

38 摩押的各房顶上和街市上处处有人哀哭;因我打碎摩押,好像打碎无人喜悦的器皿。这是耶和华的。

39 摩押何等毁坏!何等哀号!何等羞愧背!这样,摩押必令四围的人嗤笑惊骇。

40 耶和华如此:仇敌必如大飞起,展开翅膀,攻击摩押

41 加略被攻取,保障也被占据。到那日,摩押的勇士中疼痛如临产的妇人

42 摩押必被毁灭,不再成国,因他向耶和华夸大。

43 耶和华摩押的居民哪,恐惧、陷坑、网罗都临近你。

44 躲避恐惧的必坠入陷坑;从陷坑上的必被网罗缠住;因我必使追讨之年临到摩押。这是耶和华的。

45 躲避的人无力站在希实本的影;因为有从希实本发出,有焰出於西宏的城,烧尽摩押的角和哄嚷人的头顶。

46 摩押啊,你有祸了!属基抹的民灭亡了!因你的众子都被掳去,你的众女也被掳去。

47 耶和华:到末後,我还要使被掳的摩押人归回。摩押受审判的话到此为止。

57. IV. THE FOURTH STATE OF THE CHURCH WAS THE PROFANATION OF HOLY THINGS, AND THEN WAS ITS CONSUMMATION OR NIGHT. Vastation and consummation differ from each other, as do the shade of evening and the thick darkness of night; for vastation is a receding from the Church, but consummation a complete separation from it. Vastation, therefore, is as when any one descends from heaven but not as far as to hell, and tarries in the middle, standing near both; but consummation exists when any one, standing thus, turns his face and breast to hell, and his back and the hinder part of his head to. heaven; in like manner as happened with the Dragon and his angels when they were cast down out of heaven (concerning which see Rev. 12): while they were fighting with Michael, they were in the middle; but when vanquished, they were in hell. Vastation takes place when man looks upon the holy things of the Church from falsities and falsified truths; but consummation when he lives in evils or in adulterated goods.

[2] But, that the difference and distinction between the state of vastation and the state of consummation may be still more clearly grasped, it shall be illustrated by comparisons. The state of vastation may be compared with a certain garden, or grove, round a temple-which garden, by reason of the Divine worship performed in the temple, is regarded as holy-in which are places for drinking, feasting, dancing, and histrionics and farce, with spectators in the courts and windows of the temple; but the state of consummation may be compared to the same garden, or grove, in which are satyrs and libertines, with harlots and witches, who all together enter the temple dancing, and there celebrate profane revels, as the Pythons in their sabbaths.

[3] The state of vastation may also be compared with a hostile army, when it enters the suburbs of a besieged city and rules them; but the state of consummation may be compared with the same army, when it has demolished the wall, and rushes into the city and gives the inhabitants over to destruction. The state of vastation may further be compared with a ship upon sandbanks, or a sandy shore, when it is violently battered there, and tossed up and down, and the steersman, captain and sailors bewail on account of their danger; but the state is one of consummation when the ship's keel is fretted away by the gravel beneath, and the ship, being shattered and pierced with holes, sinks, and those on board, and the cargo, perish in the waves.

[4] The state of vastation may be compared with every disease which invades the members, viscera and organs of the body, by reason of which the patient apprehends death, consults a physician, takes medicines, and all the while lies in bed in hope of recovery; but the state of consummation may be compared with the same disease when it invades the breast, where the heart and lungs reside as in their tabernacle, into which when the disease penetrates, it makes an end of the life of the body.
