方 2:1 The word of the LORD came to me:
方 2:2 "Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: "'I remember the
devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through
the desert, through a land not sown.
方 2:3 Israel was holy to the LORD, the firstfruits of his harvest;
all who devoured her were held guilty, and disaster overtook them,'" declares
the LORD.
方 2:4 Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, all you clans of
the house of Israel.
方 2:5 This is what the LORD says: "What fault did your fathers find
in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols
and became worthless themselves.
方 2:6 They did not ask, 'Where is the LORD, who brought us up out
of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness, t hrough a land of deserts
and rifts, a land of drought and darkness, a land where no one travels
and no one lives?'
方 2:7 I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and rich
produce. But you came and defiled my land and made m y inheritance detestable.
方 2:8 The priests did not ask, 'Where is the LORD?' Those who deal
with the law did not know me; the leaders rebelled against me. The prophets
prophesied by Baal, following worthless idols.
方2:9 磊檬茄 脚居
方 2:9 "Therefore I bring charges against you again," declares the
LORD. "And I will bring charges again st your children's children.
方 2:10 Cross over to the coasts of Kittim and look, send to Kedar
and observe closely; see if there has ever been anyt hing like this:
方 2:11 Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods
at all.) But my people have exchanged their Glory fo r worthless idols.
方 2:12 Be appalled at this, O heavens, and shudder with great horror,"
declares the LORD.
方 2:13 "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me,
the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns
that cannot hold water.
方 2:14 Is Israel a servant, a slave by birth? Why then has he become
plunder?
方 2:15 Lions have roared; they have growled at him. They have laid
waste his land; his towns are burned and deserted.
方 2:16 Also, the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown
of your head.
方 2:17 Have you not brought this on yourselves by forsaking the LORD
your God when he led you in the way?
方 2:18 Now why go to Egypt to drink water from the Shihor? And why
go to Assyria to drink water from the River?
方 2:19 Your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke
you. Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you
forsake the LORD your God and have no awe of me," declares the Lord, the
LORD Almighty.
方2:20 蜡促 归己狼 鸥遏
方 2:20 "Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds;
you said, 'I will not serve you!' Indeed, on ev ery high hill and under
every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute.
方 2:21 I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable
stock. How then did you turn against me into a corru pt, wild vine?
方 2:22 Although you wash yourself with soda and use an abundance of
soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me, " declares the Sovereign
LORD.
方 2:23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled; I have not run after the
Baals'? See how you behaved in the valley; c onsider what you have done.
You are a swift she-camel running here and there,
方 2:24 a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in
her craving--in her heat who can restrain her? Any males that pursue her
need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find her.
方 2:25 Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry.
But you said, 'It's no use! I love foreign gods, an d I must go after them.'
方2:26 蜡促啊 寸茄 荐摹
方 2:26 "As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the house of
Israel is disgraced--they, their kings and the ir officials, their priests
and their prophets.
方 2:27 They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave
me birth.' They have turned their backs to me an d not their faces; yet
when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!'
方 2:28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come
if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you have as many gods
as you have towns, O Judah.
方2:29 磊脚甸狼 了甫 何沥
方 2:29 "Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled
against me," declares the LORD.
方 2:30 "In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction.
Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravening lion.
方 2:31 "You of this generation, consider the word of the LORD: "Have
I been a desert to Israel or a land of great darkness? Why do my people
say, 'We are free to roam; we will come to you no more'?
方 2:32 Does a maiden forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.
方 2:33 How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women
can learn from your ways.
方 2:34 On your clothes men find the lifeblood of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in. Yet in spite of all this
方 2:35 you say, 'I am innocent; he is not angry with me.' But I will
pass judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.'
方 2:36 Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be
disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria.
方 2:37 You will also leave that place with your hands on your head,
for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you wil l not be helped by them. |
