旧约 - 耶利米书(Jeremiah)第12章

You are always righteous, O LORD, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?
You have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts.
Yet you know me, O LORD; you see me and test my thoughts about you. Drag them off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter!
How long will the land lie parched and the grass in every field be withered? Because those who live in it are wicked, the animals and birds have perished. Moreover, the people are saying, "He will not see what happens to us."
"If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?
Your brothers, your own family--even they have betrayed you; they have raised a loud cry against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.
"I will forsake my house, abandon my inheritance; I will give the one I love into the hands of her enemies.
My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest. She roars at me; therefore I hate her.
Has not my inheritance become to me like a speckled bird of prey that other birds of prey surround and attack? Go and gather all the wild beasts; bring them to devour.
Many shepherds will ruin my vineyard and trample down my field; they will turn my pleasant field into a desolate wasteland.
It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares.
Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe.
They will sow wheat but reap thorns; they will wear themselves out but gain nothing. So bear the shame of your harvest because of the LORD'S fierce anger."
This is what the LORD says: "As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel, I will uproot them from their lands and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them.
But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to his own inheritance and his own country.
And if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, 'As surely as the LORD lives'--even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal--then they will be established among my people.
But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it," declares the LORD.
耶利米书第十二章   第 12 章 

  耶 12:1-6> 为什么恶人会得势?这个人生常经验的荒谬会有答案吗? 

  12:1-6 很多人都问过这个问题:“为什么恶人的道路亨通?”(参伯 21:4-21 ;哈 1:1-4 )耶利米虽然知道神最后必会彰显祂的公义,但他却不想等了,希望那日子早日来临。神没有用公式化的答案回答耶利米,反而问他如果目前的事情都应付不了,又怎么可以承受将来更不公义的事情呢?我们受到欺负,自然很想讨回公道。不过,我们也须记着,如果神真以我们所做的惩罚我们,我们则后果堪虞。 

  耶 12:5-6> 先知选择的是一条孤寂的路,没有掌声,没有欢呼,坚持下去可能是太累了……但仍坚持…… 

  12:5-6 耶利米虽然爱慕神、顺服祂的旨意,但是他的生活非常艰苦。他祈求神减轻他的痛苦,神的回应却是:“如果现在已觉得难以忍受,到真正的困难出现时,你又怎能担当得起呢?”神对祷告的回应不全都是那么令人欣然接受的,凡经历过战争、丧亲之痛或病魔缠绕的信徒都深深明白这一点。即使情势每况愈下,神的回应也未必能立即带来解脱,但我们仍要完全委身于祂,坚定不移。──《灵修版圣经注释》
