耶利米書第5章 |
|
1 在耶路撒冷逵衢、宜急遍行稽察、若得一人行義言真、則其餘亦必加寬宥。 |
|
2 斯民雖指耶和華而誓、適見其妄。 |
|
3 耶和華歟、爾之鑒觀不爽、加以督責、彼不哀慟、殲滅殆盡、彼不受教、彼顏堅於石、不肯歸誠。 |
|
4 我自謂、彼貧乏者流、懵然愚昧、不識厥上帝耶和華之道。 |
|
5 我必詣世家、與之語、彼庶幾灼知上帝耶和華之道、惟彼折軛斷維、不受約束。 |
|
6 彼逆主屢矣、故必死於林中之獅、斃於夤夜之狼、豹守其邑、伏視眈眈、凡出邑者、必被斷傷。 |
|
7 耶和華曰、爾之赤子、我使之果腹、尚有背予者、指他上帝而發誓、集於娼妓之室、狥欲而行、我見此、豈能宥爾、 |
|
8 維彼夙興、縱欲無度、貪人妻女、若肥馬鳴嘶、牝牡相誘、有民若此、我豈能不加責罰、以雪我憤哉。 |
|
9 |
|
10 耶和華又曰、宜登邑垣、雉堞環列、非屬於我、可撤其衛、勿盡毀之。 |
|
11 蓋以色列族、猶大家、負予特甚。 |
|
12 彼違我耶和華謂我非上帝、不能使彼遭難、飲刃受饑。 |
|
13 先知有言、災必及民、民謂其言虛誕若風、未嘗奉命於上、 |
|
14 萬有之上帝耶和華告先知曰、爾傳我命、民棄之若此、我必以命爲火、以民爲柴、焚燬務盡。 |
|
15 耶和華告以色列族曰、遠方有國、歷年已久、其民強悍、其方言爾不識、其所語爾不明、我必使之攻爾。 |
|
16 所統士卒、無不英武、一啟厥弢、令人歸墓。 |
|
17 食爾餱糧、戮爾子女、宰爾牛羊、斫爾葡萄、以及無花果樹、毀爾所恃之城垣、刃擊居民。 |
|
18 耶和華又曰、當是時、我不盡滅爾。 |
|
19 如有詰先知者、謂我之上帝耶和華降災於我曷故。先知必曰。爾棄耶和華在爾故土、崇事非爾之上帝、故必在非爾之地、從事異邦人。 |
|
20 當告雅各家猶大族、 |
|
21 曰、不智之徒、無慧者流、有目而不見、有耳而不聞、宜聽斯言。 |
|
22 耶和華云、我立命不易、以沙界海、洪濤澎湃、不得越其防、爾豈不寅畏、戰慄於我前。 |
|
23 斯民思叛、中心懷惡、棄予如遺。 |
|
24 不肯自謂我之上帝耶和華春雨秋霖、無不時若、迨屆穡期、俾我能享、故當畏其威焉。 |
|
25 斯民犯罪、福祉不降。 |
|
26 中有惡人、匿於歧途、備設羅網、專務陷人、 |
|
27 籠之有鳥、以誘飛禽、斯民中藏偽詐、以致巨富亦若是。 |
|
28 體則肥胖、容有光華、作惡勝於尋常、孤貧被控不爲折中。 |
|
29 耶和華曰、有民若此、我豈不降罰、以雪我憤、 |
|
30 國中所行奇惡、深可痛疾、 |
|
31 先知傳虛詞、祭司隨聲附和、國民以此爲悅、將若之何。 |
JeremiahChapter 5 |
|
1 RUN to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and know, and search in its broad places, if you can find a man, if there is any that executes justice, that seeks truth; and I will pardon them. |
|
2 And though they say, The LORD lives; truly they swear falsely. |
|
3 O LORD, thine eyes are upon the truth; thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to repent. |
|
4 Therefore I said, It is because they are poor; they have gone astray, for they do not know the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God. |
|
5 I will go to the princes and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD and the judgment of their God; but truly they have altogether broken the yoke; they have burst the bonds. |
|
6 Therefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them and hungry wolves of the evening shall tear them in pieces; a leopard shall lie in wait over their cities; every one that goes out thence shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are multiplied and become so strong that they will not repent. |
|
7 How shall I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me and sworn by those that are no gods; when I had fed them until they were satisfied, they then committed adultery, and they fought one another in the harlots' houses. |
|
8 They were wanton like stallions, every one lusting after his neighbor's wife. |
|
9 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the LORD; and shall I not avenge myself on such a people as this? |
|
10 Go up upon her walls and destroy; but make not a full end; spare her foundations, for they belong to the LORD. |
|
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says the LORD. |
|
12 They have lied against the LORD and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: |
|
13 And the prophets shall become a whirlwind and will have nothing to say; thus shall it be done to them. |
|
14 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words fire in your mouth, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. |
|
15 Lo, I will bring a nation against you, a people from afar, O house of Israel, says the LORD; it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a people whose language you do not know; neither can you understand what they say. |
|
16 Their quiver is like an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. |
|
17 And they shall eat up your harvest and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat; they shall eat up your flocks and your herds; they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees; they shall impoverish with the sword your fortified cities in which you trust. |
|
18 Nevertheless in those days, says the LORD, I will not make a full end of you. |
|
19 And it shall come to pass, when you shall say, Why does the LORD our God do all these things to us? Then you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD. Because you have forsaken me and served strange gods in your land, so you shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours. |
|
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob and publish it in Judah, saying, |
|
21 Hear now this, O foolish people who have no understanding, who have eyes and see not, who have ears and hear not: |
|
22 Do you not revere me? says the LORD, and will you not tremble at my presence? I have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual ordinance, that it cannot overflow; though the waves roar, yet they cannot prevail; and though they toss, yet they cannot pass over it. |
|
23 But this people has a contentious and rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone astray. |
|
24 Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now worship the LORD our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, who preserves for us the summer crops for the winter. |
|
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you. |
|
26 For among my people are found wicked men; they have laid snares like hedges that they may catch men with them. |
|
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit; |
|
28 Therefore they have become great and rich and have perverted judgment; they do not execute justice, and they do not judge aright the cause of the orphan; and the cause of the needy they did not judge. |
|
29 Shall I not punish for these things? says the LORD; shall I not avenge myself on such a people as this? |
|
30 An astonishing and horrible thing is committed in the land: |
|
31 The prophets prophesy falsely and the priests have supported them; and my people love to have it so; and what will you do at the end? |
