犹大之罪不泯

17 犹大的罪是用铁笔、用金钢钻记录的,铭刻在他们的心版上和坛角上。 他们的儿女记念他们高冈上、青翠树旁的坛和木偶。 我田野的山哪,我必因你在四境之内所犯的罪,把你的货物、财宝并丘坛当掠物交给仇敌。 并且你因自己的罪必失去我所赐给你的产业,我也必使你在你所不认识的地上服侍你的仇敌,因为你使我怒中起火,直烧到永远。”

弃主赖人者受祸

耶和华如此说:“倚靠人血肉的膀臂,心中离弃耶和华的,那人有祸了! 因他必像沙漠的杜松,不见福乐来到,却要住旷野干旱之处,无人居住的碱地。

倚恃耶和华者得福

“倚靠耶和华,以耶和华为可靠的,那人有福了! 他必像树栽于水旁,在河边扎根。炎热来到并不惧怕,叶子仍必青翠;在干旱之年毫无挂虑,而且结果不止。

人心诡诈难逃主鉴

“人心比万物都诡诈,坏到极处,谁能识透呢? 10 我耶和华是鉴察人心、试验人肺腑的,要照各人所行的和他做事的结果报应他。 11 那不按正道得财的,好像鹧鸪抱不是自己下的蛋,到了中年,那财都必离开他,他终究成为愚顽人。”

祈主拯救

12 我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座,从太初安置在高处。 13 耶和华以色列的盼望啊,凡离弃你的,必致蒙羞。耶和华说:“离开我的,他们的名字必写在土里,因为他们离弃我这活水的泉源。” 14 耶和华啊,求你医治我,我便痊愈,拯救我,我便得救,因你是我所赞美的。

叹民不信预言

15 他们对我说:“耶和华的话在哪里呢?叫这话应验吧!” 16 至于我,那跟从你做牧人的职分,我并没有急忙离弃,也没有想那灾殃的日子,这是你知道的。我口中所出的言语都在你面前。 17 不要使我因你惊恐,当灾祸的日子,你是我的避难所。 18 愿那些逼迫我的蒙羞,却不要使我蒙羞;使他们惊惶,却不要使我惊惶;使灾祸的日子临到他们,以加倍的毁坏毁坏他们!

当以安息日为圣

19 耶和华对我如此说:“你去站在平民的门口,就是犹大君王出入的门,又站在耶路撒冷的各门口, 20 对他们说:‘你们这犹大君王和犹大众人并耶路撒冷的一切居民,凡从这些门进入的,都当听耶和华的话! 21 耶和华如此说:你们要谨慎,不要在安息日担什么担子进入耶路撒冷的各门, 22 也不要在安息日从家中担出担子去。无论何工都不可做,只要以安息日为圣日,正如我所吩咐你们列祖的。 23 他们却不听从,不侧耳而听,竟硬着颈项不听,不受教训。

24 ‘耶和华说:你们若留意听从我,在安息日不担什么担子进入这城的各门,只以安息日为圣日,在那日无论何工都不做, 25 那时就有坐大卫宝座的君王和首领,他们与犹大人并耶路撒冷的居民,或坐车或骑马进入这城的各门,而且这城必存到永远。 26 也必有人从犹大城邑和耶路撒冷四围的各处,从便雅悯地、高原、山地并南地而来,都带燔祭、平安祭、素祭和乳香并感谢祭到耶和华的殿去。 27 你们若不听从我,不以安息日为圣日,仍在安息日担担子进入耶路撒冷的各门,我必在各门中点火,这火也必烧毁耶路撒冷的宫殿,不能熄灭。’”

The Deceitful Heart

17 The (A)sin of Judah is written with an (B)iron stylus;
With a diamond point it is (C)engraved on the tablet of their hearts
And on the horns of [a]their altars,
As they remember their (D)children,
So they remember their altars and their [b](E)Asherim
By (F)green trees on the high hills.
(G)Mountain of Mine in the countryside,
I will (H)turn over your wealth and all your treasures as plunder,
Your high places for sin throughout your borders.
And you will, even of yourself, (I)let go of your inheritance
That I gave you;
And I will make you serve your (J)enemies
In the (K)land which you do not know;
For you have (L)kindled a fire in My anger
Which will burn forever.

This is what the Lord says:
(M)Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes (N)flesh his [c]strength,
And whose heart turns away from the Lord.
For he will be like a (O)bush in the desert,
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A (P)land of salt that is not inhabited.
(Q)Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose (R)trust is the Lord.
For he will be like a (S)tree planted by the water
That extends its roots by a stream,
And does not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of (T)drought,
Nor cease to yield fruit.

“The (U)heart is more (V)deceitful than all else
And is desperately (W)sick;
Who can understand it?
10 I, the Lord, (X)search the heart,
I test the [d]mind,
(Y)To give to each person according to his ways,
According to the [e]results of his deeds.
11 As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,
So is a person who (Z)makes a fortune, but unjustly;
In the middle of his days it will abandon him,
And in [f]the end he will be a (AA)fool.”

12 (AB)A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, the (AC)hope of Israel,
All who (AD)abandon You will be put to shame.
Those who turn [g]away on earth will be (AE)written down,
Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, that is the Lord.
14 (AF)Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
(AG)Save me and I will be saved,
For You are my (AH)praise.
15 Look, they keep (AI)saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
16 But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd following after You,
Nor have I longed for the disastrous day;
(AJ)You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips
Was in Your presence.
17 Do not be a (AK)terror to me;
You are my (AL)refuge in a day of disaster.
18 Let those who persecute me be (AM)put to shame, but as for me, (AN)let me not be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.
(AO)Bring on them a day of disaster,
And crush them with double destruction!

The Sabbath Must Be Kept

19 This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and stand at the [h]public gate, through which the kings of Judah come in and go out, as well as at all the gates of Jerusalem; 20 and say to them, ‘(AP)Listen to the word of the Lord, you (AQ)kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem who come in through these gates. 21 This is what the Lord says: “(AR)Take care for yourselves, and (AS)do not carry any [i]load on the Sabbath day or bring anything in through the gates of Jerusalem. 22 You shall not bring a load out of your houses on the Sabbath day (AT)nor do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I (AU)commanded your [j]forefathers. 23 Yet they (AV)did not listen or incline their ears, but (AW)stiffened their necks so as not to listen or accept discipline.

24 “But it will come about, if you (AX)give your attention to Me,” declares the Lord, “to (AY)bring no load in through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, (AZ)but to keep the Sabbath day holy by doing no work on it, 25 (BA)then there will come in through the gates of this city kings and officials (BB)sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this (BC)city will be inhabited forever. 26 They will come in from the (BD)cities of Judah and from the areas surrounding Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the (BE)lowland, from the hill country, and from the (BF)Negev, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, grain offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to the house of the Lord. 27 But (BG)if you do not listen to Me, to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load and coming in through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then (BH)I will set fire to its gates, and it will (BI)devour the palaces of Jerusalem and (BJ)not go out.”’”
