旧约 - 耶利米书(Jeremiah)第14章

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.
Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.
And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.
Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
耶利米书第十四章   第 14 章 

  耶 14-15 章 > 干旱之灾不能阻止神的话语沛临…… 

  14-15 章 这两章经文以神将降旱灾于犹大、并且不听他们求雨的祷告作为开始,然后描述耶利米预言的未来审判的情景。 

  耶 14:1-22> 人虽会在困境之际呼天,然而也有仰天不应的时刻,是否因为人心还欠缺什么? 

  14:1-22 旱灾是神审判犹大人所降的破坏性严重的灾难。犹大人面对这场灾难,也是到走投无路时才求神帮助。但是,他们只想得到拯救,却不肯悔改离罪。所以,神不垂听他们的祷告,连耶利米代求也于事无补。他们惟一的盼望就是悔改离罪,归向耶和华。 

  耶 14:14> 为什么社会上会有那么多扮演先知的江湖术士?他们的受欢迎反映了什么? 

  14:14 为什么假先知可以得到百姓的信任和支持呢?因为这些“先知”懂得投人所好,专说人们爱听的话,以此博取名誉和金钱,却引诱百姓离开神。如果我们助长假先知、假教师,我们就与他们一样罪大恶极。 

  耶 14:19-22> 先知为百姓祈求雨水,神会允诺先知的代祷吗?为什么? 

  14:19-22 耶利米为百姓代祷,求问神犹大百姓悔改后祂会否施行拯救,神表示不会,因为犹大人毫无诚意、作恶多端,而且冥顽不灵。他们虽知道神愿意赐福,也知道当怎样做才能蒙福,可是他们只想得到福分,却不愿尽自己的本分。我们做错事的时候,表示懊悔容易,利用表面的懊悔博取好处更容易。然而,最重要的是立刻停止犯罪。神赦免一切真诚悔改的人,但祂必定严厉惩罚假冒为善的人。──《灵修版圣经注释》
