以西結書第22章

学习

   

1 耶和華的又臨到我說:

2 人子啊,你要審問審問這流人血的城麼﹖當使他知道他一切可憎的事。

3 你要耶和華如此:哎!這城有流人血的事在其中,叫他受報的日期到,又做偶像玷污自己,陷害自己。

4 你因流了人的血,就為有罪;你做了偶像,就玷污自己,使你受報之日臨近,報應之年到。所以我叫你受列國的凌辱和列邦的譏誚。

5 你這名臭、多亂的城啊,那些離你近、離你遠的都必譏誚你。

6 看哪,以色列的首領各逞其能,在你中間流人之血。

7 在你中間有輕慢父母的,有欺壓寄居的,有虧負孤兒寡婦的。

8 你藐視了我的物,干犯了我的安息日。

9 在你中間有讒謗人、流人血的;有在吃過祭偶像之物的,有行淫亂的。

10 在你中間有露繼母下體羞辱父親的,有玷辱月經不潔淨之婦人的。

11 與鄰舍的妻行可憎的事;那貪淫玷污兒婦;還有玷辱同父之姊妹的。

12 在你中間有為流人血受賄賂的;有向借錢的弟兄取利,向借糧的弟兄多要的。且因貪得無饜,欺壓鄰舍奪取財物,竟忘了我。這是耶和華的。

13 看哪,我因你所得不義之財和你中間所流的血,就拍掌歎息。

14 到了我懲罰你的日子,你的還能忍受麼﹖你的還能有力麼﹖我─耶和華了這話,就必照著行。

15 我必將你分散在列國,四散在列邦。我也必從你中間除掉你的污穢

16 你必在列國人的眼前因自己所行的被褻瀆,你就知道我是耶和華

17 耶和華的臨到我說:

18 人子啊,以色列家在我看為渣滓。他們都是爐中的銅、、鉛,都是渣滓。

19 所以耶和華如此:因你們都成為渣滓,我必聚集你們在耶路撒冷中。

20 人怎樣將、銅、、鉛、聚在爐中,吹鎔化;照樣,我也要發怒氣和忿怒,將你們聚集放在城中,鎔化你們。

21 我必聚集你們,把我烈怒的吹在你們身上,你們就在其中鎔化。

22 子怎樣鎔化在爐中,你們也必照樣鎔化在城中,你們就知道我─耶和華是將忿怒倒在你們身上了。

23 耶和華的臨到我說:

24 人子啊,你要對這:你是未得潔淨之,在惱恨的日子也沒有雨下在你以上。

25 其中的先知同謀背叛,如咆哮的獅子抓撕掠物。他們吞滅人民,搶奪財寶,使這地多有寡婦。

26 其中的祭司強解我的律法,褻瀆我的物,不分別的和俗的,也不使人分辨潔淨的和不潔淨的,又遮眼不顧我的安息日;我也在他們中間被褻慢。

27 其中的首領彷彿豺抓撕掠物,殺人流血,傷害人命,要得不義之財。

28 其中的先知為百姓用未泡透的灰抹牆,就是為他們見虛假的異象,用謊詐的占卜,耶和華如此,其實耶和華沒有

29 國內眾民一味欺壓,慣行搶奪,虧負困苦窮乏的,背理欺壓寄居的。

30 我在他們中間尋重修垣,在我面前為這國站在破口防堵,使我不滅絕這國,卻不著一個。

31 所以我將惱恨倒在他們身上,用烈怒的滅了他們,照他們所行的報應在他們上。這是耶和華的。

3400. The fact that 'guilt' means blame or imputation of sin and of transgression against good and truth becomes clear from those places in the Word where 'guilt' is mentioned and also described, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah was willing to bruise Him and make Him imperfect. If You make His soul [full of] guilt, He will see His seed, He will prolong His days, and the will of Jehovah will prosper by His hand. Isaiah 53:10.

This refers to the Lord. 'Making His soul [full of] guilt' stands for sin imputed to Him and so for blame laid on Him by those who hated Him. Not that He drew any sin at all to Himself to bear it away.

In Ezekiel,

By the blood which you have shed, you have been held guilty, 1 and by your idols which you have made you are defiled. Ezekiel 22:4.

'Shedding blood' stands for doing violence to good, 374, 376, 1005, leading to guilt.

In David,

Those who hate the righteous will be held guilty. 2 Jehovah redeems the soul of His servants, nor will all who trust in Him be held guilty. 2 Psalms 34:21-22.

[2] 'Guilt' accordingly stands for all sin that remains. The separation of it by means of good from the Lord is redemption, which was also represented by the atonement made by the priest when people offered the guilt-offering, dealt with in Leviticus 5:1-19; 6:1-7; 7:1-10; 19:20-22; Numbers 5:1-8, where also types of guilt are listed, namely these: When people have heard a curse uttered but do not say they have heard it: When they have touched something unclean: When they have sworn to do evil: When they have sinned unintentionally against holy things that are Jehovah's: When they have done one of the things which they are commanded not to do: When they have refused to return to somebody his deposit: When they deny that they have found something that was lost, and have sworn falsely: When they have lain with a woman who is a slave, betrothed to another man, and not yet redeemed or made free: When they have committed any sin against another person by transgressing against Jehovah.
