旧约 - 耶利米书(Jeremiah)第14章

This is the word of the LORD to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
"Judah mourns, her cities languish; they wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns but find no water. They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads.
The ground is cracked because there is no rain in the land; the farmers are dismayed and cover their heads.
Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.
Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights and pant like jackals; their eyesight fails for lack of pasture."
Although our sins testify against us, O LORD, do something for the sake of your name. For our backsliding is great; we have sinned against you.
O Hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress, why are you like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who stays only a night?
Why are you like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? You are among us, O LORD, and we bear your name; do not forsake us!
This is what the LORD says about this people: "They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins."
Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people.
Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague."
But I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD, the prophets keep telling them, 'You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.'"
Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.
Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine.
And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.
"Speak this word to them: "'Let my eyes overflow with tears night and day without ceasing; for my virgin daughter--my people--has suffered a grievous wound, a crushing blow.
If I go into the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I go into the city, I see the ravages of famine. Both prophet and priest have gone to a land they know not.'"
Have you rejected Judah completely? Do you despise Zion? Why have you afflicted us so that we cannot be healed? We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there is only terror.
O LORD, we acknowledge our wickedness and the guilt of our fathers; we have indeed sinned against you.
For the sake of your name do not despise us; do not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember your covenant with us and do not break it.
Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you, O LORD our God. Therefore our hope is in you, for you are the one who does all this.
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》
