以西結書 21

Studie

   

1 耶和華的臨到我說:

2 人子啊,你要面向耶路撒冷和聖所滴下預言,攻擊以色列地。

3 以色列耶和華如此:我與你為敵,並要拔刀出鞘,從你中間將人和惡人一併剪除。

4 我既要從你中間剪除人和惡人,所以我的刀要出鞘,自攻擊一切有血氣的;

5 一切有血氣的就知道我─耶和華已經拔刀出鞘,必不再入鞘。

6 人子啊,你要歎息,在他們眼前彎著腰,苦苦地歎息。

7 他們問你:為何歎息呢﹖你就:因為有風聲、災禍要。人都必消化,都發軟,精神衰敗,膝弱如。看哪,這災禍臨近,必然成就。這是耶和華的。

8 耶和華的臨到我說:

9 人子啊,你要預言。耶和華吩咐我如此:有刀、有刀,是磨快擦亮的;

10 磨快為要行殺戮,擦亮為要像閃電。我們豈可快樂麼﹖罰我子的杖藐視各

11 這刀已經交人擦亮,為要應使用。這刀已經磨快擦亮,好交在行殺戮的人中。

12 人子啊,你要呼喊哀號,因為這刀臨到我的百姓和以色列一切的首領。他們和我的百姓都交在刀下,所以你要拍歎息。

13 有試驗的事;若那藐視的杖歸於無有,怎麼樣呢﹖這是耶和華的。

14 人子啊,你要拍掌預言。我─耶和華要使這刀,就是致傷的刀,一連三次加倍刺人,進入他們的內屋,使人受傷的就是這刀。

15 我設立這恐嚇人的刀,攻擊他們的一切城,使他們的消化,加增他們跌倒的事。哎!這刀造得像閃電,磨得尖利,要行殺戮。

16 刀啊,你歸在右邊,擺在左邊;你面向哪方,就向那方殺戮。

17 我也要拍掌,並要使我的忿怒止息。這是我─耶和華的。

18 耶和華的又臨到我說:

19 人子啊,你要定出兩條,好使巴比倫王的刀。這兩條必從分出,又要在通城的口上畫出

20 你要定出一條,使刀到亞捫人的拉巴;又要定出一條,使刀猶大的堅固城耶路撒冷

21 因為巴比倫王站在岔那裡,在兩條口上要占卜。他搖籤(原文是)求問神像,察犧牲的

22 在右手中拿著為耶路撒冷占卜的籤,使他安設撞城錘,張叫殺,揚聲吶喊,築壘造臺,以撞城錘,攻打城

23 據那些曾起誓的猶大人看來,這是虛假的占卜;但巴比倫王要使他們想起罪孽,以致將他們捉住。

24 耶和華如此:因你們的過犯顯露,使你們的孽被記念,以致你們的罪惡在行為上都彰顯出來;又因你們被記念,就被捉住。

25 你這受傷行惡的以色列王啊,罪孽的盡頭到了,受報的日子已到。

26 耶和華如此:當除掉冠,摘下冕,景況必不再像先前;要使卑者升為,使者降為卑。

27 我要將這國傾覆,傾覆,而又傾覆;這國也必不再有,直等到那應得的人到,我就賜他。

28 人子啊,要發預言耶和華論到亞捫人和他們的凌辱,吩咐我如此:有刀,有拔出來的刀,已經擦亮,為行殺戮,使他像閃電以行吞滅。

29 人為你見虛假的異象,行謊詐的占卜,使你倒在受傷之惡人的頸項上。他們罪孽到了盡頭,受報的日子已到。

30 你將刀收入鞘罷!在你受造之處、生長之,我必刑罰你。

31 我必將我的惱恨倒在你身上,將我烈怒的噴在你身上;又將你交在善於殺滅的畜類人中。

32 你必當柴被焚燒,你的血必流在國中,你必不再被記念,因為這是我─耶和華的。

Apocalypse Revealed # 209

209. 'Wretched and poor.' This symbolically means that they have no truths or goods.

Wretched and poor people mean, in the spiritual sense of the Word, people who lack concepts of truth and good, for they are spiritually wretched and poor. They are also meant by the people in the following passages:

I am wretched and poor, O Lord; be mindful of me. (Psalms 40:18) [NCBSP: Psalms 40:17], cf. Psalms 70:5)

Incline Your ear, O Jehovah, and answer me, for I am wretched and poor. (Psalms 86:1)

The impious bare the sword and bend their bow, to cast down the wretched and poor... (Psalms 37:14)

(The impious man) persecuted the wretched and poor man, even to slay the downcast in heart. (Psalms 109:16)

(God) will judge the wretched of the people; He will save the children of the poor... He will deliver the poor man when he cries, and the wretched man... (Psalms 72:4, 12-13)

Jehovah... delivers the wretched man from one who is too strong for him, and the poor man... from those who plunder him. (Psalms 35:10)

(The impious man) devises wicked plans to destroy the wretched with lying words, even when the poor man speaks justly. (Isaiah 37:7)

The wretched shall have their joy in Jehovah, and the poor of mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 29:19)

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3)

See also elsewhere, as Isaiah 10:2; Jeremiah 22:16; Ezekiel 16:49; 18:12; 22:29; Amos 8:4; Psalms 9:18; 69:32-33; 74:21; 109:22; 140:12; Deuteronomy 15:11; 24:14; Luke 14:13, 21, 23.

The wretched and poor mean chiefly people who lack concepts of truth and goodness and yet desire them, since the rich mean people who possess concepts of truth and goodness (no. 206).
