预言耶路撒冷必遭重灾

29 “唉,亚利伊勒亚利伊勒大卫安营的城!任凭你年上加年,节期照常周流, 我终必使亚利伊勒困难,她必悲伤哀号,我却仍以她为亚利伊勒 我必四围安营攻击你,屯兵围困你,筑垒攻击你。 你必败落,从地中说话,你的言语必微细出于尘埃。你的声音必像那交鬼者的声音出于地,你的言语低低微微出于尘埃。

“你仇敌的群众却要像细尘,强暴人的群众也要像飞糠。这事必顷刻之间,忽然临到。 万军之耶和华必用雷轰、地震、大声、旋风、暴风并吞灭的火焰,向她讨罪。 那时,攻击亚利伊勒列国的群众,就是一切攻击亚利伊勒和她的保障并使她困难的,必如梦景,如夜间的异象。 又必像饥饿的人,梦中吃饭,醒了仍觉腹空;或像口渴的人,梦中喝水,醒了仍觉发昏,心里想喝。攻击锡安山列国的群众,也必如此。”

责民昏蒙

你们等候惊奇吧!你们宴乐昏迷吧!他们醉了,却非因酒;他们东倒西歪,却非因浓酒。 10 因为耶和华将沉睡的灵浇灌你们,封闭你们的眼,蒙盖你们的头。你们的眼就是先知,你们的头就是先见。 11 所有的默示,你们看如封住的书卷。人将这书卷交给识字的,说:“请念吧。”他说:“我不能念,因为是封住了。” 12 又将这书卷交给不识字的人,说:“请念吧。”他说:“我不识字。”

责民伪善

13 主说:“因为这百姓亲近我,用嘴唇尊敬我,心却远离我。他们敬畏我,不过是领受人的吩咐。 14 所以,我在这百姓中要行奇妙的事,就是奇妙又奇妙的事。他们智慧人的智慧必然消灭,聪明人的聪明必然隐藏。”

15 祸哉!那些向耶和华深藏谋略的,又在暗中行事,说:“谁看见我们呢?谁知道我们呢?” 16 你们把事颠倒了!岂可看窑匠如泥吗?被制作的物岂可论制作物的说“他没有制作我”?或是被创造的物论造物的说“他没有聪明”?

谦卑者必因耶和华欢喜

17 黎巴嫩变为肥田,肥田看如树林,不是只有一点点时候吗? 18 那时,聋子必听见这书上的话,瞎子的眼必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见。 19 谦卑人必因耶和华增添欢喜,人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐。 20 因为强暴人已归无有,亵慢人已经灭绝,一切找机会作孽的都被剪除。 21 他们在争讼的事上定无罪的为有罪,为城门口责备人的设下网罗,用虚无的事屈枉义人。

22 所以,救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华论雅各家如此说:“雅各必不再羞愧,面容也不致变色。 23 但他看见他的众子,就是我手的工作,在他那里,他们必尊我的名为圣,必尊雅各的圣者为圣,必敬畏以色列的神。 24 心中迷糊的必得明白,发怨言的必受训诲。”

Jerusalem Is Warned

29 Woe, [a]Ariel, [b]Ariel the city where David once (A)camped!
Add year to year, [c](B)keep your feasts on schedule.
I will bring distress to Ariel,
And she will be a city of grieving and (C)mourning;
And she will be like an [d]Ariel to me.
I will (D)camp against you [e]encircling you,
And I will set up siegeworks against you,
And I will raise up battle towers against you.
Then you will (E)be brought low;
From the earth you will speak,
And from the dust where you are prostrate
Your words will come.
Your voice will also be like that of a [f]spirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.

But the multitude of your [g]enemies will become like fine (F)dust,
And the multitude of the (G)ruthless ones like the chaff which [h]blows away;
And it will happen (H)instantly, suddenly.
From the Lord of armies you will be (I)punished with (J)thunder and earthquake and loud noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
And the (K)multitude of all the nations who wage war against [i]Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a (L)vision of the night.
It will be as when a hungry person dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, his [j]hunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty person dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But when he awakens, behold, he is faint
And his [k]thirst is not quenched.
(M)So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.

(N)Be delayed and horrified,
Blind yourselves and be blind;
They (O)become drunk, but not with wine,
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.
10 For the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep (P)sleep,
He has (Q)shut your eyes—the prophets;
And He has covered your heads—the seers.

11 The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed [l](R)book, which, when they give it to the one who [m]is literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.” 12 Then the [n]book will be given to the one who [o]is illiterate, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “I [p]cannot read.”

13 Then the Lord said,

“Because (S)this people approaches Me with their [q]words
And honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me,
And their [r]reverence for Me [s]consists of the commandment of men that is taught;
14 Therefore behold, I will once again deal (T)marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous;
And (U)the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the understanding of their men who have understanding will be concealed.”

15 Woe to those who deeply (V)hide their [t]plans from the Lord,
And whose (W)deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, “(X)Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”
16 You turn things around!
Shall the potter be considered [u]as equal with the clay,
That (Y)what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”;
Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?

Blessing after Discipline

17 Is it not yet just a little while
[v]Before Lebanon will be turned into a (Z)fertile field,
And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?
18 On that day those who are (AA)deaf will hear (AB)words of a book,
And out of their gloom and darkness the (AC)eyes of those who are blind will see.
19 The (AD)afflicted also will increase their joy in the Lord,
And the (AE)needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the (AF)ruthless will come to an end and the (AG)scorner will be finished,
Indeed (AH)all who [w]are intent on doing evil will be eliminated,
21 Who [x]cause a person to be indicted by a word,
And (AI)set a trap for the arbitrator at the gate,
And [y](AJ)defraud the one in the right with [z]meaningless arguments.

22 Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed (AK)Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob:

“Jacob (AL)will not be ashamed now, nor will his face turn pale now;
23 But when [aa]he sees his (AM)children, the (AN)work of My hands, in his midst,
They will sanctify My name;
Indeed, they will (AO)sanctify the Holy One of Jacob,
And will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Those who (AP)err in [ab]mind will (AQ)know [ac]the truth,
And those who [ad]criticize will [ae](AR)accept instruction.
