耶利米书第5章

《圣经》耶利米书-第5章

耶5:1 你们当在耶路撒冷的街上跑来跑去，在宽阔处寻找，看看有一人行公义求诚实没有？若有，我就赦免这城。 (串)结22:30|诗12:1|创18:26,28

†[吕]你们在耶路撒冷街上跑来跑去，去看看，去知道事实，在她的广场上去寻找，看能找到一人不；若真地有一人行公义、求忠诚，那么我就要赦免这城。

†[思]请你们巡行耶路撒冷的街道，观察注意，在她的广场上搜寻：若他们能找到一人，一个履行正义，追求信实的人，我就宽恕这城。

†[当代]“你们在耶路撒冷街头逛逛，留心看看，在她的广场上找找，如果你能找到一人──一个公正诚信的人，我就赦免这城。

†[新译]“你们去走遍耶路撒冷的街道，到处观察留意，又在城的广场上寻觅；如果能找到一个行正义、求诚实的人，我就赦免这城。

†[Wlb]尔其往来于耶路撒冷之衢、于其宽广之区察视之、索一行公义求信实者、若有之、我必宥斯邑、

†[Xdv]耶路撒冷人哪，走遍你们的大街小巷！到处详细观察！到市场上搜寻，看看能不能找到一个公正忠诚的人？你们找得到，上主就会饶恕耶路撒冷。

†[Kjv]Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

†[Nkjv]"Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem; See now and know; And seek in her open places If you can find a man, If there is anyone who executes judgment, Who seeks the truth, And I will pardon her.

†[BBE]Go quickly through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and get knowledge, and make a search in her wide places if there is a man, if there is one in her who is upright, who keeps faith; and she will have my forgiveness.

†[GNT] People of Jerusalem, run through your streets! Look around! See for yourselves! Search the marketplaces! Can you find one person who does what is right and tries to be faithful to God? If you can, the Lord will forgive Jerusalem.

†[NIV]Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city.

本会注释　　你们当在耶路撒冷的街上跑来跑去。这条命令是要揭露耶路撒冷所流行的道德腐败。它使我们想起了希腊圣人，犬儒学派的创始人狄奥基尼斯的故事。他曾点着灯笼在雅典的街道上寻找诚实的人。吩咐人“跑”、“寻找”、“看看”，是要强调很难找到义人。
　　宽阔处。市场或广场，是来自各处的人聚集的地方。
　　我就赦免这城。参创18:25-32。

耶5:2 其中的人虽然指着永生的耶和华起誓，所起的誓实在是假的。 (串)耶4:2|耶7:9多1:16

†[吕]虽然他们起誓说：‘愿永活的永恒主’为证，其实（传统：所以）他们是起假誓的。

†[思]虽然他们起誓说：“上主永在！”其实他们起的誓仍是虚誓。

†[当代]虽然他们指著永生的主起誓，其实他们起的誓都是假的。”

†[新译]城里的人虽然指着永活的耶和华起誓，其实，他们起的誓是假的。”

†[Wlb]彼虽指维生之耶和华而誓、犹为妄誓、

†[Xdv]你们自称敬畏上主，其实口是心非。

†[Kjv]And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

†[Nkjv]Though they say, "As the LORD lives,' Surely they swear falsely."

†[BBE]And though they say, By the living Lord; truly their oaths are false.

†[GNT] Even though you claim to worship the Lord, you do not mean what you say.

†[NIV]Although they say, 'As surely as the Lord lives,' still they are swearing falsely."

本会注释　　指着永生上帝的名起誓（见申6:13；10:20,21；诗63:11；赛45:23），是要承认耶和华为至高之神。

耶5:3 耶和华啊，你的眼目不是看顾诚实吗？你击打他们，他们却不伤恸；你毁灭他们，他们仍不受惩治。他们使脸刚硬过于磐石，不肯回头。 (串)代下16:9|赛1:5;9:13耶2:30|耶7:28番3:2

†[吕]永恒主阿，你的眼目不是注视忠诚么？你击打他们，他们却不伤恸：你毁灭他们，他们却不肯接受管教；他们硬着脸皮、比磐石还硬，总不肯转回。

†[思]上主，你的眼睛难道不顾信实？你打击了他们，他们却毫不觉痛；你使他们挫败，他们仍拒绝受教，使自己的面孔比火石还要顽硬，不愿悔改。

†[当代]主啊，你的眼不是寻求信实的吗？你责打他们，他们毫不感到难过；你毁灭他们，他们仍是拒绝受教。他们顽梗不肯悔改，他们的脸比石头更硬。

†[新译]耶和华啊！你的眼目不是要看诚实的事吗？你击打他们，他们却不觉得伤痛；你摧毁他们，他们仍不肯接受管教。他们板着脸，脸皮比磐石还硬，总不肯回转。

†[Wlb]耶和华欤、尔目非顾信实乎、尔击之、彼不怀忧、尔灭之、彼不受教、惟自坚其颜、逾于磐石、不肯归诚、

†[Xdv]上主的确在寻找忠诚的人。他打击你们，你们不理会，惩罚你们，你们也不受教。你们顽固成性，不肯离弃罪恶。

†[Kjv]O LORD, are not thine eyes 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 return.

†[Nkjv]O LORD, are not Your eyes on the truth? You have stricken them, But they have not grieved; You have consumed them, But they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to return.

†[BBE]O Lord, do not your eyes see good faith? you have given them punishment, but they were not troubled; you have sent destruction on them, but they did not take your teaching to heart: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they would not come back.

†[GNT] Surely the Lord looks for faithfulness. He struck you, but you paid no attention; he crushed you, but you refused to learn. You were stubborn and would not turn from your sins.

†[NIV]O Lord , do not your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain; you crushed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.

本会注释　　你的眼目不是看顾诚实吗？上帝透过人的外表，看到主宰他行为的动机（见代下16:9；箴5:21；15:3；耶16:17；32:19）。
　　诚实（'emunah）。“坚定”，“忠实”。'emunah在哈2:4里译为“信”，但译为“诚实”可能更好一些。上帝所寻找的，是“信”或“诚实”的人，因为祂自己就是“诚实”（'emunah，申32:4）的神。

耶5:4 我说：这些人实在是贫穷的，是愚昧的，因为不晓得耶和华的作为和他们上帝的法则。 (串)耶8:7

†[吕]我说：“这些人只是贫穷愚昧；因为他们不晓得永恒主所行的路，不明白他们的上帝的法则。

†[思]我想：“不错，他们原是无知的平民，不认识上主的道路和他们天主的法律。

†[当代]我说：“他们只是一无所有、愚拙无知的平民，不认识主行事的方法，也不认识上帝的律法。

†[新译]我说：“这些人只是贫穷小民，为人愚昧；他们不晓得耶和华的道路，也不明白他们　神的法则。

†[Wlb]我曰、此乃贫乏者、愚昧者、不识耶和华之道、不明其上帝之法、

†[Xdv]于是我想：他们只是贫穷无知的平民；他们不晓得上主的道路，不知道上帝的法则。

†[Kjv]Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

†[Nkjv]Therefore I said, "Surely these are poor. They are foolish; For they do not know the way of the LORD, The judgment of their God.

†[BBE]Then I said, But these are the poor: they are foolish, for they have no knowledge of the way of the Lord or of the behaviour desired by their God.

†[GNT] Then I thought, "These are only the poor and ignorant. They behave foolishly; they don't know what their God requires, what the Lord wants them to do.

†[NIV]I thought, "These are only the poor; they are foolish, for they do not know the way of the Lord , the requirements of their God.

本会注释　　这些人实在是贫穷的。先知以为这种道德堕落的状况只局限于贫苦的大众。
　　这些人……不晓得。耶利米认为他们犯罪是因为缺乏宗教指导。
　　法则（mishpat）。有时指上帝所颁布宗教法规或制度（见撒上10:25和王下17:33，mishpat 译为“国法”和“风俗”）。

耶5:5 我要去见尊大的人，对他们说话，因为他们晓得耶和华的作为和他们上帝的法则。哪知，这些人齐心将轭折断，挣开绳索。 (串)弥3:1|诗2:3

†[吕]我要去见那些大人物，对他们说话；因为那班人晓得永恒主所行的路，他们明白他们的上帝的法则。”但这些人呢、竟将轭折断，将绳索挣开了。

†[思]我要去问有权势的人，与他们谈论，因为他们知道上主的道路和他们天主的法律。”哎！连他们也都折断了轭，挣断了绳索。

†[当代]我要与领袖们商谈，因他们认识主的作为和律法。”谁知，他们一同折断律法的轭，摆脱法则的约束。

†[新译]我要亲自去见那些权贵领袖，跟他们谈谈；因为他们晓得耶和华的道路，也明白他们　神的法则。”谁知他们竟一起把轭折断，挣脱绳索。

†[Wlb]我将诣显者与之言、彼识耶和华之道、明其上帝之法、惟彼同心折轭断绳、

†[Xdv]我要找他们的领袖理论。他们一定晓得上主的道路，一定知道上帝的法则。可是他们都否认上主的权威，不肯服从他。

†[Kjv]I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

†[Nkjv]I will go to the great men and speak to them, For they have known the way of the LORD, The judgment of their God." But these have altogether broken the yoke And burst the bonds.

†[BBE]I will go to the great men and have talk with them; for they have knowledge of the way of the Lord and of the behaviour desired by their God. But as for these, their one purpose is a broken yoke and burst bands.

†[GNT] I will go to the people in power and talk with them. Surely they know what their God requires, what the Lord wants them to do." But all of them have rejected the Lord's authority and refuse to obey him.

†[NIV]So I will go to the leaders and speak to them; surely they know the way of the Lord , the requirements of their God." But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke and torn off the bonds.

本会注释　　尊大的人。无疑指首领和祭司等。他们的地位和教育，使他们有机会学习律法，了解“上帝的法则”。
　　哪知（'ak）。“其实”（见@诗62:1@注释）。这里是强调的语气。
　　这些人齐心。他们得罪了更大的亮光，所以性质更加严重。

耶5:6 因此，林中的狮子必害死他们；晚上（或作：野地）的豺狼必灭绝他们；豹子要在城外窥伺他们。凡出城的必被撕碎；因为他们的罪过极多，背道的事也加增了。 (串)诗104:20,21耶4:7|哈1:8番3:3|何13:7

†[吕]因此必有森林中的狮子要扑杀他们，有原野上的豺狼要杀灭他们，有豹子在静伺着机会要攻击他们的城市；凡出城的都必被撕碎；因为他们的过犯很多，他们对正道、转离得很厉害。

†[思]为此，狮子由丛林出来袭击他们，旷野的豺狼出来伤害他们，豹子潜伏在他们的城旁，凡出来的人都被撕裂，因为他们罪上加罪，失节有增无已。

†[当代]因此，有狮子要从森林出来杀害他们，豺狼从荒野出来灭绝他们，豹子也虎视眈眈瞪著他们的城邑，无论谁从城中出来，都要被撕裂，因为他们的罪极多，背道的事数不胜数。

†[新译]因此，狮子必从林中出来袭击他们，旷野的豺狼要杀害他们，豹子在他们的城边窥伺，出城的都必被撕碎；因为他们的过犯众多，背道的事也无法数算。

†[Wlb]是以丛林之狮必杀之、旷野之狼必噬之、豹必伺于邑外、凡出邑者、悉为所裂、盖其罪戾孔多、悖逆增甚、

†[Xdv]因此，狮子要从森林出来吞吃他们；豺狼要从旷野出来撕碎他们；豹子要在城市周围埋伏等待；谁出去，谁就被撕碎。因为他们一再地离弃上帝；他们的罪恶数算不尽。

†[Kjv]Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backsliding

†[Nkjv]Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, A wolf of the deserts shall destroy them; A leopard will watch over their cities. Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces, Because their transgressions are many; Their backslidings have in

†[BBE]And so a lion from the woods will put them to death, a wolf of the waste land will make them waste, a leopard will keep watch on their towns, and everyone who goes out from them will be food for the beasts; because of the great number of their sins and th

†[GNT] That is why lions from the forest will kill them; wolves from the desert will tear them to pieces, and leopards will prowl through their towns. If those people go out, they will be torn apart because their sins are numerous and time after time they have

†[NIV]Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them, a wolf from the desert will ravage them, a leopard will lie in wait near their towns to tear to pieces any who venture out, for their rebellion is great and their backslidings many.

本会注释　　狮子。本节无疑指巴比伦人。三种野兽分别代表力量，凶猛和迅速。
　　晚上（`araboth）。一些古版本解释为`ereb（“晚上”）的复数（见哈1:8；番3:3），但`araboth 在其他地方都不是`ereb 的复数。`araboth 通常是`arabah（“荒漠”）的复数，所以近代注释者把这句译为“野地的豺狼”，与上面的“林中”相对应。
　　窥伺（shaqad）。“警觉”（见@耶1:11@注释）。这里的“窥伺”指围攻耶路撒冷和犹大的其他城市。
　　背道的事。见@耶2:19@注释。
　　加增了。直译是“许多”。

耶5:7 我怎能赦免你呢？你的儿女离弃我，又指着那不是神的起誓。我使他们饱足，他们就行奸淫，成群地聚集在娼妓家里。 (串)申32:21加4:8|书23:7番1:5|申32:15

†[吕]“我怎能赦免你呢？你的儿女离弃了我，指着那不是神的来起誓。我使他们饱足，他们竟行奸淫，群集（或译：寄居）在妓女家里。

†[思]如此，我怎能宽恕你？你的子孙离弃了我，奉“非神”发誓。我使他们饱食，他们却去行淫，群集在妓院；

†[当代]主说：“既是如此，我怎可以赦免你们呢？你们的子孙离我而去，又向那些假神起誓。我给他们饱足，他们却把精力消耗在妓院中。

†[新译]“为什么我要赦免你？你的儿女离弃我，指着那些不是神的起誓。我使他们饱足，他们却去行淫，一起挤在妓院里。

†[Wlb]我何能宥尔哉、尔之子女弃我、指彼非神者而誓、我使之饱食、彼则行淫、群集妓室、

†[Xdv]上主自问：我何必赦免我子民的罪过？他们已背离我去拜假神。我使他们吃饱，他们却饱暖思淫，成群结队去找娼妓。

†[Kjv]How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

†[Nkjv]"How shall I pardon you for this? Your children have forsaken Me And sworn by those that are not gods. When I had fed them to the full, Then they committed adultery And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

†[BBE]How is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loo

†[GNT] The Lord asked, "Why should I forgive the sins of my people? They have abandoned me and have worshiped gods that are not real. I fed my people until they were full, but they committed adultery and spent their time with prostitutes.

†[NIV]Why should I forgive you? Your children have forsaken me and sworn by gods that are not gods. I supplied all their needs, yet they committed adultery and thronged to the houses of prostitutes.

本会注释　　起誓。见申32:17,21；书23:7；番1:5；见@耶2:11@注释。
　　奸淫。不但在肉体，而且在属灵上（见@民25:1@；@士2:17@；@王上14:15@；@王下9:22；23:7@注释）。偶像崇拜的仪式是与淫乱的行为相结合的，所以这个比喻有双重的含义。
　　成群地。他们聚集在妓院和庙宇里进行属灵和肉体上的奸淫（见@王上11:5@注释）。

耶5:8 他们象喂饱的马到处乱跑，各向他邻舍的妻发嘶声。 (串)结22:11|耶13:27

†[吕]他们像喂饱了的马，精力旺盛（或译：到处乱跑），个个发嘶声要他邻舍的妻子。

†[思]他们像荒淫雄壮的牡马，各向自己近人的妻室嘶鸣。

†[当代]他们像被喂饱而情欲发动的马，各向自己邻舍的妻发嘶叫。

†[新译]他们像饱食的马，情欲奔放，各向别人的妻子嘶叫。

†[Wlb]彼若肥马得纵、各向其邻之妻嘶鸣、

†[Xdv]他们像养胖了的野马欲火旺盛，垂涎别人的妻子。

†[Kjv]They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

†[Nkjv]They were like well-fed lusty stallions; Every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.

†[BBE]They were full of desire, like horses after a meal of grain: everyone went after his neighbour's wife.

†[GNT] They were like well-fed stallions wild with desire, each lusting for his neighbor's wife.

†[NIV]They are well-fed, lusty stallions, each neighing for another man's wife.

本会注释　　参耶13:27；结22:11。

耶5:9 耶和华说：我岂不因这些事讨罪呢？岂不报复这样的国民呢？ (串)本章29耶9:9|耶44:22

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：我岂不因这些事来施察罚呢？这样的国我岂不加以报复呢？

†[思]这些事，我怎能不惩罚？──上主的断语──像这样的民族，我怎能不亲自报复？

†[当代]对于这一切的事，我怎能不惩之以法？像这样的国家，我怎能不亲自报复呢？

†[新译]我因这些事怎能不施行惩罚呢？像这样的国家，我怎能不亲自报复呢？”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我岂不缘此而加谴责、岂不复仇于若是之国哉、

†[Xdv]我不该为这些事惩罚他们吗？我不该对这种国家报复吗？

†[Kjv]Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

†[Nkjv]Shall I not punish them for these things?" says the LORD. "And shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

†[BBE]Am I not to give punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?

†[GNT] Shouldn't I punish them for these things and take revenge on a nation such as this?

†[NIV]Should I not punish them for this?" declares the Lord . "Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?

本会注释　　讨罪。为了惩罚（见@诗8:4；59:5@注释）。这句话还出现在耶5:29和耶9:9。
　　报复。先知用人的语言表达百姓是多么严重地得罪了上帝（见耶44:22；参赛30:27；结5:13；6:9）。他们的合法丈夫上帝，再也不能容忍他们罪恶的行为了。

耶5:10 你们要上他葡萄园的墙施行毁坏，但不可毁坏净尽，只可除掉他的枝子，因为不属耶和华。 (串)耶39:8|本章18耶4:27

†[吕]“你们上她的葡萄树行列去行毁坏，但不可尽行毁灭；要把她的蔓延枝子除掉，因为它们不属于永恒主。

†[思]请你们登上她的墙上头，加以毁坏，但不要完全毁灭，该除去她的枝条，因为它们不属于上主。

†[当代]你们要登上她葡萄园的墙，加以毁坏，但不可以彻底毁坏；只要将不属主的枝子剪去。”

†[新译]“你们要走进她的葡萄园（“葡萄园”原文作“葡萄树的行列”）里施行毁坏，但不可毁灭她的枝子，因为它们不属耶和华。

†[Wlb]尔登其垣而毁之、惟勿尽毁、可除其枝、盖非属耶和华也、

†[Xdv]我要召敌人来毁坏我子民的葡萄园，只是不彻底加以摧毁。我要他们砍掉葡萄树的枝子，因为这些枝子已经不属于我。

†[Kjv]Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's.

†[Nkjv]"Go up on her walls and destroy, But do not make a complete end. Take away her branches, For they are not the LORD's.

†[BBE]Go up against her vines and make waste; let the destruction be complete: take away her branches, for they are not the Lord's.

†[GNT] I will send enemies to cut down my people's vineyards, but not to destroy them completely. I will tell them to strip away the branches, because those branches are not mine.

†[NIV]Go through her vineyards and ravage them, but do not destroy them completely. Strip off her branches, for these people do not belong to the Lord .

本会注释　　墙。该词原文有不同的解释。有人认为是指“成排的树藤”，还有人认为是指围墙。“枝子”显然指葡萄枝或卷须。先知心里所想的似乎是有围墙的葡萄园（见赛5:1；耶2:21）。
　　毁坏净尽。也有人虎口余生（见第18节；见@耶4:27@注释），从而给巴比伦人的愤怒定下了界限。
　　枝子（netishoth）。“卷须”或“树枝”。犹大中堕落的人要从葡萄藤上剪除，但树干本身显然还活着。上帝不承认这些枝子，把它们交给在巴比伦人手中。

耶5:11 原来以色列家和犹大家大行诡诈攻击我。这是耶和华说的。 (串)耶3:20

†[吕]因为以色列家和犹大家待我太诡诈了：永恒主发神谕说。

†[思]以色列和犹大家，实在对我不忠，达到极点──

†[当代]主说：“以色列家和犹大家向我行了不忠贞的事。”

†[新译]以色列家和犹大家，待我实在太奸诈了。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、以色列家与犹大家、待我诡诈维甚、

†[Xdv]以色列人和犹大人全然背叛我。我是上主；我这样宣布了。

†[Kjv]For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]For the house of Israel and the house of Judah Have dealt very treacherously with Me," says the LORD.

†[BBE]For the people of Israel and the people of Judah have been very false to me, says the Lord.

†[GNT] The people of Israel and Judah have betrayed me completely. I, the Lord, have spoken."

†[NIV]The house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly unfaithful to me," declares the Lord .

耶5:12 他们不认耶和华，说：这并不是他，灾祸必不临到我们；刀剑和饥荒，我们也看不见。 (串)代下36:16耶4:10|赛28:15|耶14:13

†[吕]他们否认永恒主，说：‘他没有什么（原文：这并不是他）；必没有灾祸会临到我们；刀剑和饥荒、我们也必不会见到。

†[思]上主的断语。他们否认上主说：“不存在！灾祸绝不会临到我们身上，我们也绝不会见到战争和荒；

†[当代]他们否认主，说：“祂是不存在的。我们决不会遇到不幸的事，战争和饥荒也不会见到。

†[新译]他们不信耶和华，说：“他不会作什么，灾祸必不临到我们，我们也不会看见刀剑和饥荒。

†[Wlb]弗认耶和华、曰言者非彼也、灾难不临于我、刀兵饥馑、我不遇之、

†[Xdv]上主的子民不承认他。他们说：“其实上主不干涉我们（或译：我们不愿跟上主有来往）。我们不至于遭殃，不会遇到战乱饥荒的事。”

†[Kjv]They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

†[Nkjv]They have lied about the LORD, And said, "It is not He. Neither will evil come upon us, Nor shall we see sword or famine.

†[BBE]They would have nothing to do with the Lord, saying, He will do nothing, and no evil will come to us; we will not see the sword or be short of food:

†[GNT] The Lord's people have denied him and have said, "He won't really do anything. We won't have hard times; we won't have war or famine."

†[NIV]They have lied about the Lord ; they said, "He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine.

本会注释　　不认（kachash）。见@诗66:3@注释。百姓对上帝不诚实。他们否认祂为他们的上帝。
　　这并不是祂。七十士译本为“这些事并非如此”。百姓竟完全否认耶和华的存在，这真是不可思议。他们所否认的，实际上是了警告他们迫近之厄运的预言信息。他们把已经降下的惩罚归诸于运气不好。在另一方面，贪爱罪恶的百姓则热心接受假先知有关各国和平和安全的信息（见耶14:13；23:25,32；参赛28:15）。

耶5:13 先知的话必成为风；道也不在他们里面。这灾必临到他们身上。

†[吕]神言人必成了风（同字：灵）；主的话并不在他们里面；他们所遭受的、必是这样。’”

†[思]先知们不过是一阵风，他们并没有上主的话；他们这样只有自作自受。”

†[当代]先知的话如风一样虚浮，因为他们心里并没有上帝的话；所以，灾难必要临到他们身上。”

†[新译]先知不过是一阵风，主的道也不在他们里面；他们所说的必临到他们身上。”

†[Wlb]先知为风、道不在于其中、彼之所言、必及己身、

†[Xdv]他们又说：“先知不过是说空话；他们并没有上主的信息。”

†[Kjv]And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

†[Nkjv]And the prophets become wind, For the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them."

†[BBE]And the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them; so it will be done to them.

†[GNT] They have said that the prophets are nothing but windbags and that they have no message from the Lord. The Lord God Almighty said to me, "Jeremiah, because these people have said such things, I will make my words like a fire in your mouth. The people wil

†[NIV]The prophets are but wind and the word is not in them; so let what they say be done to them."

本会注释　　先知。本节继续描述不信的犹太人所说的话。他们说预言的警告不会实现，先知的话只不过是一阵风而已。
　　这灾必临到他们身上。这些不信的人显然希望所预言的刀剑和饥荒会降在先知们身上。

耶5:14 所以耶和华万军之上帝如此说：因为百姓说这话，我必使我的话在你口中为火，使他们为柴；这火便将他们烧灭。 (串)耶1:9

†[吕]因此永恒主万军之上帝这么说：他们（传统：你们）既说了这话，你就看吧，我必使我的话在你口中作为火，而这人民作为柴，火便将他们烧灭掉。

†[思]为此，上主万军的天主这样说：“因为他们说了这话，看，我必使我的话在你的口中成为火，使这人民成为木柴，将他们吞灭。

†[当代]因此，万军的主上帝这样说：“因为你们说了这话，我要把我的话放入你们口中成为火，又使这群子民成为柴，这火要把他们烧毁。

†[Wlb]故万军之上帝耶和华曰、为彼言是、我必使我言在尔口为火、斯民为薪而焚之、

†[Xdv]所以上主──万军的统帅上帝这样对我说：“杰里迈亚呀，这些人既然说这种话，我要把我的话放在你口中。我的话像火，人像柴；火要把他们烧光。”

†[Kjv]Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says: "Because the people have spoken these words, I will make my words in your mouth a fire and these people the wood it consumes.

本会注释　　耶和华万军之上帝。见@耶7:3@注释。
　　火。耶利米所传达的上帝圣言绝不是风，而是烈火，将突然烧毁嘲笑者，无法抗拒，就像大火烧毁干柴一样（见耶1:9,10；23:29；参诗83:14,15；赛9:18,19）。

耶5:15 耶和华说：以色列家啊，我必使一国的民从远方来攻击你，是强盛的国，是从古而有的国。他们的言语你不晓得，他们的话你不明白。 (串)申28:49赛5:26耶4:16

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：以色列家阿，看吧，我必使一国的人从远方来攻击你：是个持久不败的国，是个从古就有的国：这一个国、它的语言你不晓得；他们说什么、你不晓得听。

†[思]以色列家！看，我从远方给你们引来一个民族──上主的断语──一个所向无敌的民族，一个古老的民族，一个你们不懂她的语言，也听不出她说什么的民族

†[当代]以色列家啊，我要从远方带来一个国家攻击你，是一个战无不胜的古国，他们所说的语言你们不懂得。

†[新译]以色列家啊！我必使一国从远方来攻击你们。”这是耶和华的宣告。”那国历久不衰，从古就有；他们的言语你们不懂得，他们所说的你们不明白。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、以色列家欤、远方有国、既强且古、尔曹不识其方言、不明其所语、我必导之攻尔、

†[Xdv]以色列人哪！上主要促使一个国家从遥远地方来攻击你们。这个国家有悠久历史，非常强大；他们的语言你们不懂得。

†[Kjv]Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

†[Nkjv]Behold, I will bring a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel," says the LORD. "It is a mighty nation, It is an ancient nation, A nation whose language you do not know, Nor can you understand what they say.

†[BBE]See, I will send you a nation from far away, O people of Israel, says the Lord; a strong nation and an old nation, a nation whose language is strange to you, so that you may not get the sense of their words.

†[GNT] People of Israel, the Lord is bringing a nation from far away to attack you. It is a strong and ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know.

†[NIV]O house of Israel," declares the Lord , "I am bringing a distant nation against you- an ancient and enduring nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you do not understand.

本会注释　　从远方。可能直接引用申28:49的预言。与摩押，非利士和以东等国相比，巴比伦是一个远方的国家。赛39:3也是这么说的（见耶1:15；4:16）。
　　以色列家。这里指二个剩下的支派。他们是整个以色列民中唯一自由的代表（见耶6:9；9:26；结13:16；18:31）。
　　强盛的（'ethan）。直译是“常流不息的”（见摩5:24），比喻“持久”（见弥6:2，译为“永久的”）。以色列无法逃脱这个不可战胜的民族。他们的人数从不减少，资源也从不枯竭。
　　从古而有的国。巴比伦历史的悠久反而增加了她的骄傲，狂妄，残忍和毁灭的能力。
　　言语。可能指亚兰语。它不久将成为外交和经商的国际语言（见《SDA圣经注释》卷一第29,30页）。亚兰语和希伯来语很接近，但当时犹太平民还不懂（见@王下18:26@注释）。有人认为这里是指巴比伦语。

耶5:16 他们的箭袋是敞开的坟墓；他们都是勇士。

†[当代]他们都是勇猛的壮丁，他们的箭袋像张开口的坟墓，

†[新译]他们的箭囊像敞开的坟墓，他们尽都是勇士。

†[Wlb]其箙若既辟之冢、其人皆为勇士、

†[Xdv]他们的弓箭手都是强悍的战士，杀人不眨眼。

†[Kjv]Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

†[Nkjv]Their quiver is like an open tomb; They are all mighty men.

†[BBE]Their arrows give certain death, they are all men of war.

†[GNT] Their archers are mighty soldiers who kill without mercy.

†[NIV]Their quivers are like an open grave; all of them are mighty warriors.

本会注释　　箭袋。巴比伦人擅长于箭术（见耶4:29）。
　　敞开的坟墓。这是一句俗话（见诗5:9），显然指巴比伦的弓箭手极大的杀伤力（见赛5:28；13:18）。

耶5:17 他们必吃尽你的庄稼和你的粮食，是你儿女该吃的；必吃尽你的牛羊，吃尽你的葡萄和无花果；又必用刀毁坏你所倚靠的坚固城。 (串)利26:16申28:31,33

†[吕]他们必吃尽你的庄稼和粮食，吃尽你的儿子和女儿，吃尽你的羊群和牛群，吃尽你的葡萄和无花果；你所倚靠的堡垒城、他们必用刀剑来毁坏。”

†[思]这民族必吃掉你的收获和食粮，必吃掉你的儿子和女儿，必吃掉你的羊群和牛群，必吃掉你的葡萄和无花果，必以武力蹂你依恃的坚城。

†[Wlb]彼必食尔禾稼、及尔糇粮、即尔子女所当食者、并食尔牛群羊群、及葡萄无花果、以刃毁尔所恃之坚城、

†[Xdv]他们要吃掉你们的谷物粮食；他们要杀死你们的儿女，宰杀你们的牛羊；他们要吃光你们的葡萄和无花果。他们的军队要拆毁你们所倚靠的堡垒。

†[GNT] They will devour your crops and your food; they will kill your sons and your daughters. They will slaughter your flocks and your herds and destroy your vines and fig trees. The fortified cities in which you trust will be destroyed by their army.

†[NIV]They will devour your harvests and food, devour your sons and daughters; they will devour your flocks and herds, devour your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.

本会注释　　他们必吃尽。参申28:30,48,51。
　　是你儿女该吃的。或 “他们将吃掉你的儿女”。“吃”可以泛指毁灭或吞噬。
　　毁坏（rashash）。“打碎”。七十士译本为“打击”。犹大的防御工事将会完全摧毁（见申28:52）。
　　刀。泛指战争的武器（见耶33:4；参结26:9）。

耶5:18 耶和华说：“就是到那时，我也不将你们毁灭净尽。 (串)耶4:27

†[吕]“但永恒主发神谕说：就是当那些日子我也不将你们尽行毁灭。

†[思]即在那些时日──上主的断语──我也不对你们加以彻底的毁灭。”

†[当代]主说：“即使在那时，我也不彻底毁灭你们。

†[新译]就是到了那时，我也不把你们完全毁灭。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]惟其时我犹不尽灭尔、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]上主说：“即使在那大灾难的时候，我也不把我的子民统统消灭。

†[Kjv]Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.

†[Nkjv]"Nevertheless in those days," says the LORD, "I will not make a complete end of you.

耶5:19 百姓若说：‘耶和华我们的上帝为什么向我们行这一切事呢？’你就对他们说：‘你们怎样离弃耶和华（原文作我），在你们的地上事奉外邦神，也必照样在不属你们的地上事奉外邦人。’” (串)申29:24王上9:8,9耶13:22|耶2:13|申28:48

†[思]假使有人问：“为什么上主我们的天主对我们做了这一切的事？”你当对他们说：“你们怎样离弃了我，在你们国内事奉了外邦的神祗，你们也该怎样在不属于你们的境内事奉外邦人。”

†[当代]如果你们问：‘为什么主我们的上帝向我们行了这一切的事呢？’你可以对他们说：‘你们怎样离弃主，在你们的国中敬奉外族的神，你们也要怎样在不属你们的地方事奉外族人。’

†[Xdv]杰里迈亚呀，如果他们问起为什么我这样待他们，你要告诉他们，因为他们离弃我，在自己的国土上服事别的神明，所以他们要流亡异乡，服事外国人。”

†[NIV]And when the people ask, 'Why has the Lord our God done all this to us?' you will tell them, 'As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own.'

本会注释　　为什么？现在回到本章的主题：即将临到国家之惩罚的原因。如果犹太人恬不知耻地提出上帝的应许和他们作为祂特选子民的身份，质疑为什么要降灾，先知就要反驳说：犹大已经离弃了上帝，转向偶像崇拜。上帝的应许是以顺从和忠诚为条件的。
　　你们……，也必照样……事奉。惩罚是与犯罪的性质相称的。上帝已把祂的土地赐给他们。但他们喜欢事奉外邦的神，所以就被掳到外国去事奉外国人（见申28:47,48）。

†[NIV]Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear:

本会注释　　无知的。罪，特别是故意的罪，麻木了他们的良知（见耶4:22；何7:11）。
　　有眼不看。犹大闭目不看，装聋作哑。故意不看的人是最盲目的。故意犯罪会切断人心灵的视觉神经（见耶6:10）。

耶5:22 耶和华说：你们怎么不惧怕我呢？我以永远的定例，用沙为海的界限，水不得越过。因此，你们在我面前还不战兢吗？波浪虽然翻腾，却不能逾越；虽然砰訇，却不能过去。 (串)启15:4|伯26:10;38:10,11诗104:9

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：连我、你们也不惧怕么？在我面前、你们还不战战兢兢？我用沙做海的界限，永远的定限，使它不能越犯；其水（仿耶46：78加上的）波浪虽翻腾，却不能得胜，其波浪虽匉訇，却不能越过。

†[思]你们不敬畏我吗？──上主的断语──你们在我面前不战吗？是我堆积了沙石作海的界限，作为它永不能越过的界限：海浪虽汹涌，仍无能为力；虽怒号澎湃，仍不能越过。”

†[当代]‘难道你们不畏惧我吗？难道你们在我面前不会颤抖吗？我以沙石为海的界限，使水不能越过它。波涛虽然汹涌，却不能超过它；虽然澎湃，也不能过去。

†[新译]‘你们连我都不惧怕吗？在我面前你们也不战兢吗？’这是耶和华的宣告。’我以沙作海的疆界，作永远的界限，海就不能越过；波浪翻腾，却不能漫过；怒涛澎湃，仍无法逾越。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我立永命、以沙界海、不得逾防、虽波涛汹涌而不越、漰渤而不逾、尔不畏我、不战栗于我前乎、

†[Xdv]我──上主问你们：你们为什么不敬畏我？在我面前，为什么不战战兢兢？我安置沙滩作海洋的界限，大洋不能越过这界限。海水汹涌也不能穿越过；浪涛翻腾也不能突破。

†[Nkjv]Do you not fear Me?' says the LORD. "Will you not tremble at My presence, Who have placed the sand as the bound of the sea, By a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it? And though its waves toss to and fro, Yet they cannot prevail; Though they ro

†[BBE]Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though t

†[NIV]Should you not fear me?" declares the Lord . "Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it.

本会注释　　你们怎么不惧怕我呢？原文的“我”位于句首，是强调的。
　　用沙为海的界限。先知求提到上帝在大自然所展现的无穷能力和无上智慧。海洋深不可测，浩大无垠，浪比山高，奔流不息，正可以用来比喻表面上不可抗拒的自然力。但执掌宇宙主权的上帝，控制着汹涌的海洋。祂把海洋限制一定的范围之内，宣布说：“你只可到这里，不可越过。你的狂傲的浪要要到此止住”（伯38:11；参诗33:7；104:9；箴8:29）。虽然散沙很容易流动，但大片的沙滩却十分有效地抵制了海浪的不断冲击。

耶5:23 但这百姓有背叛忤逆的心；他们叛我而去，

†[吕]但这些人民存着倔强悖逆的心；他们转离而去。

†[思]但这内心顽固忤逆的人民，竟背叛而离去，

†[当代]但是，这子民的心刚硬悖逆，背叛我、离开我。

†[新译]可是这人民，竟存着顽梗悖逆的心；背我而去。’

†[Wlb]惟斯民怀叛逆之心、背我而去、

†[Xdv]但是你们这些人又顽固又悖逆！你们背叛了我，离弃了我。

†[Kjv]But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

†[Nkjv]But this people has a defiant and rebellious heart; They have revolted and departed.

†[BBE]But the heart of this people is uncontrolled and turned away from me; they are broken loose and gone.

†[GNT] But you people! You are stubborn and rebellious; you have turned aside and left me.

†[NIV]But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away.

本会注释　　大海和波浪都顺服宇宙的伟大主宰，人类却不愿意效忠。犹大的百姓决心违抗上帝的旨意。他们厌恶上帝的律法，不愿意敬拜祂，实际上就是藐视祂。

耶5:24 心内也不说：我们应当敬畏耶和华我们的上帝；他按时赐雨，就是秋雨春雨，又为我们定收割的节令，永存不废。 (串)诗147:8耶14:22太5:45|申11:14珥2:23|创8:22

†[吕]他们心里也不说：‘我们应当敬畏永恒主我们的上帝：他按时赐霖雨，就是秋霖春雨；又为我们存着收割的制定节令。’

†[思]从不反心自省：“我们应该敬畏上主，我们的天主，因为按时降下雨露、秋霜和春雨；又给我们保持固定的收获时节。”

†[当代]他们从不诚心地说：让我们现在敬畏主我们的上帝！祂按时降下秋雨和春雨，又保守我们按时收割。

†[新译]他们心里也不想想：‘我们应当敬畏耶和华我们的　神，他按时赐雨，就是秋雨春霖，又为我们保存定时收割的节令。’

†[Wlb]彼不自谓、我当寅畏我上帝耶和华、彼降秋雨春雨、各适其时、为我定厥穑期、

†[Xdv]虽然我按时赐给你们春霖秋雨，让你们年年丰收，你们却从来不敬畏我。

†[Kjv]Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

†[Nkjv]They do not say in their heart, "Let us now fear the LORD our God, Who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season. He reserves for us the appointed weeks of the harvest."

†[BBE]And they do not say in their hearts, Now let us give worship to our God, who gives the rain, the winter and the spring rain, at the right time; who keeps for us the ordered weeks of the grain-cutting.

†[GNT] You never thought to honor me, even though I send the autumn rains and the spring rains and give you the harvest season each year.

†[NIV]They do not say to themselves, 'Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.'

本会注释　　心内也不说。上帝在大海中所显示的威严大能，以及在雨露中所展现的慈爱作为，都使犹大产生圣洁的敬畏之心。
　　赐雨。离了创造主，大自然本身就不能作什么（见《证言》卷八第259页）。她的法则不是自行运作的。是上帝不断在大自然中藉着这些法则工作。雨就是伟大的恩主赐给人类的一件礼物（见对@利26:4@节的注释）。
　　秋雨。降于秋末。使干燥的土壤松软，让新播的种子发芽（见《SDA圣经注释》卷二第108、110页）。
　　春雨。这场雨降于春天的三月和四月初收割之前，对于庄稼的成熟十分重要（见@申11:14@注释；见珥2:23）。一年的收成与雨水的规则降下大有关系。
　　收割的节令。可能指从逾越节和五旬节的七个星期（见出23:16；34:22；民28:26；申16:9,10）。这段时间一般不降雨，好使收成不受打搅（见创8:22）。在撒母耳的时代，收割小麦时曾出现异常的降雨，使以色列人心中产生了恐惧（撒上12:17-19）。犹太人的三个主要节日正好与三个收获的季节吻合。逾越节在大麦收割时；五旬节或七七节在小麦收割时；住棚节在水果收获结束时。

耶5:25 你们的罪孽使这些事转离你们；你们的罪恶使你们不能得福。 (串)耶3:3

†[吕]你们的罪孽将这些事推开了；你们的罪拦阻了你们得福利。

†[思]是你们的过犯混乱了这些时令，是你们的罪恶阻止了你们享这幸福。

†[当代]你们的不义，使这些恩惠离开你们；你们的罪恶，叫你们得不到好处。

†[新译]你们的罪孽使这些都离开了，你们的罪恶剥夺了你们的幸福。

†[Wlb]尔之愆尤使尔失此、尔之罪戾阻尔获福、

†[Xdv]你们的罪行使风雨失调；你们的罪过使你们不得收获。

†[GNT] Instead, your sins have kept these good things from you.

†[NIV]Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have deprived you of good.

本会注释　　这些。指第24节所提到的福气（见耶3:3；12:4）。

耶5:26 因为在我民中有恶人。他们埋伏窥探，好象捕鸟的人；他们设立圈套陷害人。 (串)箴1:11,17,18哈1:15

†[NIV]Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men.

本会注释　　他们埋伏窥探。这里用捕鸟作为比喻。鸟是用铺在地上的网罗来捕捉的，（见诗91:3；124:7；箴6:5）。
　　他们……陷害人。这些恶人用精心策划的阴谋和欺骗的手段来陷害无辜和单纯的人（见弥7:2）。

†[NIV]Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful

本会注释　　笼。这是指放置所捕获之鸟的柳条笼子（见启18:2）。
　　诡诈。显然指捕鸟者的笼子里装满他所捕捉的鸟。同样，人的屋子里也装满了他用诡诈和欺骗得到的物资。他们尔诈我虞，发了大财（见诗73:12）。

耶5:28 他们肥胖光润，作恶过甚，不为人伸冤，就是不为孤儿伸冤，不使他亨通，也不为穷人辨屈。 (串)申32:15|赛1:23亚7:10|伯12:6诗73:12耶12:1

†[吕]他们肥胖光润，坏事拼命地作；不秉公裁判，不为孤儿辩诉，而援救他（传统：而使他亨通顺遂），也不为穷人伸冤。

†[思]他们肥胖红润，作奸犯科，不为孤儿辩护；只求自己享受，也不关怀穷人的权利。

†[NIV]and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor.

†[BBE]A thing of wonder and fear has come about in the land;

†[GNT] A terrible and shocking thing has happened in the land:

†[NIV]A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land:

本会注释　　惊骇（shammah）“一件可怕的事情”。国中将发生一件可怕的事情。第30和31节归纳了不可避免的厄运将临到耶路撒冷的原因。先知，祭司和百姓都同流合污。

耶5:31 就是先知说假预言，祭司藉他们把持权柄；我的百姓也喜爱这些事，到了结局你们怎样行呢？ (串)耶14:14;23:25,26弥2:11

†[吕]就是神言人们以虚假传神言，祭司们仗着他们的手法来掌权柄；我的人民竟喜爱这样；到了结局、你们要怎样行呢？

†[NIV]The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?

本会注释　　说假预言。即“说虚谎的预言”。
　　藉他们。直译是“藉着他们的手”，即按照他们的指示。祭司们在履行职责时，听从假先知的话。关于祭司们听从假先知的话，见耶29:24-26的说明。
　　喜爱这些事。无疑指假先知和祭司所取得的成功。他们迎合了百姓的心理，所以百姓乐意被他们误导。
　　结局。首领和百姓沆瀣一气，致使 “结局” 不可避免。全民族要思考一下这个严肃的事实。假先知所想到的，只是眼前的事和即将得到的繁荣，耶利米则关心国家未来的最后命运。
