旧约 - 耶利米书(Jeremiah)第11章

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
"Listen to the terms of this covenant and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem.
Tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Cursed is the man who does not obey the terms of this covenant--
the terms I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace.' I said, 'Obey me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.
Then I will fulfill the oath I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey'--the land you possess today." I answered, "Amen, LORD."
The LORD said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: 'Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow them.
From the time I brought your forefathers up from Egypt until today, I warned them again and again, saying, "Obey me."
But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts. So I brought on them all the curses of the covenant I had commanded them to follow but that they did not keep.'"
Then the LORD said to me, "There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem.
They have returned to the sins of their forefathers, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their forefathers.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they will not help them at all when disaster strikes.
You have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah; and the altars you have set up to burn incense to that shameful god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.'
"Do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their distress.
"What is my beloved doing in my temple as she works out her evil schemes with many? Can consecrated meat avert your punishment? When you engage in your wickedness, then you rejoice."
The LORD called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm he will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken.
The LORD Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done evil and provoked me to anger by burning incense to Baal.
Because the LORD revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing.
I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying, "Let us destroy the tree and its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more."
But, O LORD Almighty, you who judge righteously and test the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you I have committed my cause.
"Therefore this is what the LORD says about the men of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, 'Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD or you will die by our hands'--
therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
Not even a remnant will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the men of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.'"
耶利米书第十一章   第 11 章 

  耶 11-13 章 > 在责备、劝慰与警戒之中,为什么仍不会迷途知返?为什么? 

  11-13 章 这两章经文主要描写以色列人背约和耶利米对他们的责备。耶利米斥责犹大人在约西亚王时经过短暂的灵命复兴后又再去拜偶像。这些话几乎使他丧命于同胞手中。耶利米感到痛苦忧伤,不禁反覆思索何以恶人平步青云,而义人却命途多舛。最后他不再追问下去,以变坏的腰带和盛满酒的酒坛比喻神施行审判作为结束(参 13:1-11 注释)。 

  耶 11:14> 祷告难道也有受阻拦的时刻?有的,就在…… 

  11:14 神吩咐耶利米不要为百姓祈祷,并说就算百姓向祂呼求,祂也不会垂听。乍看起来,这个命令实在令人震惊。然而,时候到了,神就要显出祂的公义,审判罪恶。犯罪的必吃苦果,受到应有的惩罚。假如百姓仍然沉溺罪中,毫不悔改,到审判的时候,不论是他们自己的祈祷,还是耶利米的代求,神都不会再留情面了。他们惟一的盼望就是悔改:哀恸痛悔、离开罪恶、归向耶和华。如果我们尚未完全献身与神,不断祈求祂帮助又有什么用呢?惟有我们完全献身与神、不再偏行自己犯罪的道路,神的祝福才沛然降临我们身上。 

  耶 11:18-23> 在连最亲密的人也会加害于己的时候,还有什么可以做? 

  11:18-23 耶利米万想不到自己的同乡竟然要合谋害死他。他们禁止耶利米宣讲那些信息,主要有下列几个原因:( 1 )经济方面──他斥责百姓拜偶像,会打击制造偶像者的生意。( 2 )宗教方面──毁灭忧郁的信息令百姓意志消沉和内疚沮丧。( 3 )政治方面──他公然斥责领袖假冒为善的卑劣手段。( 4 )个人方面──百姓十分憎恶耶利米揭发他们的错误。耶利米只有两条路可以选择:一是逃亡,二是求告神。他选择求告神,神就答允他。我们为忠于神的缘故而招致大难,同样也只有两条路可以选择:惊惶而逃或是投靠神。逃避乃是妥协,求神帮助才能继续坚强振作,放胆为祂作见证。──《灵修版圣经注释》
