耶利米书第7章

《圣经》耶利米书-第7章

耶7:1 耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

†[吕]有出于永恒主而传与耶利米的话说：

†[思]上主有话传给耶肋米亚说：

†[当代]主的话临到耶利米说：

†[新译]耶和华有话临到耶利米，说：

†[Wlb]耶和华谕耶利米之言、

†[Xdv]上主差我到圣殿门口，要我站在那里向犹大人宣布他自己的话。于是我到圣殿门口，向进入圣殿敬拜上主的人传达

†[Kjv]The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

†[Nkjv]The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

†[BBE]The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

†[GNT] The Lord sent me to the gate of the Temple where the people of Judah went in to worship. He told me to stand there and announce what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, had to say to them: "Change the way you are living and the things you are doing, an

†[NIV]This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord :

本会注释　　这句话经常出现在《耶利米书》中（耶11:1；18:1；21:1；25:1；30:1；32:1；34:1；35:1；40:1；44:1），引出先知的一段非常重要的预言讲章。耶7-10章主要记录这个讲章。它是在圣殿门口发布的（耶7:2），通常被称为“圣殿讲章”。它斥责了犹太人在圣殿和宗教仪式上所表现的虚假信心。耶7章和耶26章的相似性，使有些人认为26章是该讲章的总结，是耶利米传达信息的结果。如果这样，讲章的发表就是在“约雅敬登基的时候”（耶26:1；见《先知与君王》第412-415）。当然有可能耶利米后来在“犹大城邑”重复了这个讲章的主要内容（耶11:6；见《先知与君王》第414页）。

耶7:2 “你当站在耶和华殿的门口，在那里宣传这话说：你们进这些门敬拜耶和华的一切犹大人，当听耶和华的话。 (串)耶26:2

†[吕]“你要站在永恒主之殿的门口，在那里宣布这些话说：你们进这些门来敬拜永恒主的一切犹大人要听永恒主的话。

†[思]“你站在上主殿宇的门口，宣布这话说：你们凡由这些门进来，朝拜上主的犹大人，请听上主的话。

†[当代]“你站在主圣殿的门口宣布说：‘由这些门进殿敬拜主的犹大人，你们要听主的话。

†[新译]“你要站在耶和华的殿门口，在那里宣告这话，说：‘所有进这些门来敬拜耶和华的犹大人哪！你们都要听耶和华的话。’”

†[Wlb]曰、立于耶和华室门、宣是言曰、凡属犹大、入此诸门、崇拜耶和华者、宜听其言、

†[Xdv]－

†[Kjv]Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

†[Nkjv]"Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, "Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD!"'

†[BBE]Take your place in the doorway of the Lord's house, and give out this word there, and say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who come inside these doors to give worship to the Lord.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]Stand at the gate of the Lord 's house and there proclaim this message: " 'Hear the word of the Lord , all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the Lord .

本会注释　　耶和华殿的门口。（耶26:2）。耶利米既然是祭司，就完全有权进入圣殿。他可能站在从外院进入内院的一个门口。在这个有利的地形上，他可以看见全体聚集崇拜的人（见耶36:10）。
　　你们……一切犹大人。有人认为这个讲章的发表是在全国性的节日，圣殿挤满了敬拜者的时候。
　　敬拜。先知暗示既然百姓来敬拜上帝，就应该听上帝对他们所说的话。

耶7:3 万军之耶和华以色列的上帝如此说：你们改正行动作为，我就使你们在这地方仍然居住。 (串)耶18:11;26:13

†[吕]万军之永恒主以色列之上帝这么说：你们改善所行所作的，我就跟你们在住这地方。

†[思]万军的上主，以色列的天主这样说：改善你们的生活和行为，我就让你们住在这地方；

†[当代]万军之主以色列的上帝这样说：重新扭转你们的生活吧！我便使你们在这里安居。

†[新译]万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：“你们要改正自己的所作所为，我就让你们在这地方居住。

†[Wlb]万军之耶和华、以色列之上帝云、正尔行径、及尔作为、我则俾尔居于此地、

†[Xdv]上主──万军的统帅、以色列上帝的信息：“你们要弃邪归正！这样，我就让你们继续在这块地上居住。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

†[Nkjv]Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

†[BBE]The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says, Let your ways and your doings be changed for the better and I will let you go on living in this place.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place.

本会注释　　万军之耶和华。“万军之耶和华（Yahweh）”是上帝最威严的称号之一（见《SDA圣经注释》卷一第173页），经常出现在《耶利米书》中（见耶2:19；5:14；7:21；8:3；10:16；11:17,20；15:16等），强调上帝拥有无限的权柄和能力。在《旧约》中，“军”常指世界的军队（见代下28:9；耶51:3）。其统帅被称为 “元帅”（王上1:19等）。“军”也指 “天使”（见王上22:19；尼9:6；诗103:21；148:2）和天体（见申4:19；17:3；王下17:16；21:3,5；耶8:2；19:13等）。以色列的上帝统帅着无数属灵和属世的“万军”。祂是天军之主，全能之神（见启19:6）。
　　改正。直译是“纠正”，是耶利米常用的词（见第5节；耶18:11；26:13）。
　　行动作为。这是《耶利米书》常用的词组（见第5节；耶4:18；18:11；26:13；35:15）。 “行动”可以理解为心中的欲望，固定的习惯，或一般的生活方式，“作为”指构成这些习惯的外表成果和具体行为。
　　使你们在这地方仍然居住。即“允许你继续居住”。

耶7:4 你们不要倚靠虚谎的话，说：‘这些是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿！’ (串)弥3:11

†[吕]你们不要倚靠虚假的话，说：‘这些房屋是永恒主的殿堂，是永恒主的殿堂，是永恒主的殿堂。’

†[思]不要信赖虚伪的话说：“这是上主的圣殿，上主的圣殿，上主的圣殿！

†[当代]不要信赖这些谎言：这是主的殿，是主的殿，是主的殿。

†[新译]你们不要倚靠虚谎的话，说：‘这是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿，是耶和华的殿。’

†[Wlb]或曰、耶和华之殿、耶和华之殿、耶和华之殿即此、斯虚诞之词、尔勿恃之、

†[Xdv]不要再相信那些骗人的话，说：‘我们很安全，这是上主的圣殿；这是上主的圣殿；这是上主的圣殿！’

†[Kjv]Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.

†[Nkjv]Do not trust in these lying words, saying, "The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD are these.'

†[BBE]Put no faith in false words, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, are these.

†[GNT] Stop believing those deceitful words, "We are safe! This is the Lord's Temple, this is the Lord's Temple, this is the Lord's Temple!'

†[NIV]Do not trust in deceptive words and say, "This is the temple of the Lord , the temple of the Lord , the temple of the Lord !"

本会注释　　你们不要倚靠。假先知明然宣称，上帝不会让圣殿就是祂的居所落入外邦人的手；圣殿既然在于耶路撒冷，就成了保护城市及其居民的吉祥物（见@弥3:11@注释）。今天也有许多信徒依靠教友的身份得救。他们热中于外表的宗教活动，而不是内心的准备。
　　这些。圣殿是人类有史以来最壮丽的建筑之一。我们可以设想先知是指着圣殿宣讲的（见太24:1）。但这座宏伟的建筑决不能代替真正内心的奉献。宗教仪式本身并不能赎罪。其设施和数量的增加应伴随着虔诚的增加。
　　耶和华的殿。说了三次，说明百姓为圣殿的宏伟建筑而自豪。这是一种迷信。

耶7:5 “你们若实在改正行动作为，在人和邻舍中间诚然施行公平， (串)耶22:3

†[吕]“因为你们若澈底改善你们所行所作的，你们若在人与邻舍之间真地施行公平，

†[思]只有你们彻底改善你的生活和行为，在人与人之间行事公道，

†[当代]如果你们诚心改正你们的行为，真正在人际间实践公义，

†[新译]如果你们实在改正自己的所作所为，人与人之间认真施行公正；

†[Wlb]尔若至终正尔行径、及尔作为、且行公义于人、及其邻中、

†[Xdv]“你们要弃邪归正，以公平相待。

†[Kjv]For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

†[Nkjv]"For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor,

†[BBE]For if your ways and your doings are truly changed for the better; if you truly give right decisions between a man and his neighbour;

†[GNT] "Change the way you are living and stop doing the things you are doing. Be fair in your treatment of one another.

†[NIV]If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly,

本会注释　　这是第3节的延伸。部分或半心半意的改革是不够的。只有彻底悔改，生活上保持严格的诚实，公正地对待他人，才能躲避所警告的惩罚。

耶7:6 不欺压寄居的和孤儿寡妇；在这地方不流无辜人的血，也不随从别神陷害自己； (串)申6:14,15;8:19耶13:10

†[吕]不欺压寄居的、或孤儿寡妇，不在这地方流无辜人的血，不随从别的神而陷害自己，

†[思]不虐待旅客、孤儿、寡妇，不在这地方倾流无辜者的血，不自招祸患去跟随外邦的神祗，

†[当代]不欺凌旅客、孤儿和寡妇，不在这地流无辜者的血，也不与其他神只打交道毁灭自己，

†[新译]如果你们不欺压寄居的，不欺压孤儿寡妇，不在这地方流无辜人的血，也不跟从别的神，自招祸患；

†[Wlb]不虐羇旅孤寡、不流无辜之血于斯、不从他神以自害、

†[Xdv]不要再占外侨和孤儿寡妇的便宜；停止在这块地上杀害无辜；不要再拜别的神明，自取灭亡。

†[Kjv]If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

†[Nkjv]if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt,

†[BBE]If you are not cruel to the man from a strange country, and to the child without a father, and to the widow, and do not put the upright to death in this place, or go after other gods, causing damage to yourselves:

†[GNT] Stop taking advantage of aliens, orphans, and widows. Stop killing innocent people in this land. Stop worshiping other gods, for that will destroy you.

†[NIV]if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm,

本会注释　　不欺压。真宗教涉及生活的方方面面，包括社会关系在内。宗教的真正价值和凭据体现在行为上所产生的效果中（见雅1:27）。
　　寄居的。这里所列出的阶层泛指穷苦和无助的人（见出22:21-24；23:9；申10:18；14:29；24:17-21；申27:19）。
　　不流无辜人的血。除了凶杀以外，无疑也包括法庭上不公正死亡判决。

耶7:7 我就使你们在这地方仍然居住，就是我古时所赐给你们列祖的地，直到永远。 (串)申4:40|耶3:18

†[吕]我就跟你们同住这地方，在我从古时所赐给你们列祖的地居住到永远。

†[思]我才让你们住在这地方，即我从开始便永远赐给了你们祖先的土地。

†[当代]那么，我便使你们在这块我早已赐给你们祖先的地上安居，直到永远。

†[新译]我就让你们在赐给你们列祖直到永远的这地方居住。

†[Wlb]我则俾尔居于斯土、即我自昔赐尔列祖之地、迄于永久、

†[Xdv]如果你们改过，我就让你们继续居留在这里，就是从前我赐给你们祖先作永久产业的土地。

†[Kjv]Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

†[Nkjv]then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

†[BBE]Then I will let you go on living in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers in the past and for ever.

†[GNT] If you change, I will let you go on living here in the land which I gave your ancestors as a permanent possession.

†[NIV]then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever.

本会注释　　我就。先知给出始于第5节之条件句的结论。如果满足了第5,6节的条件，就应许有安全和以及永久的居住（见《SDA圣经注释》本卷第27-30节）。
　　使你们在这地方仍然居住。见第3节。
　　直到永远。见《SDA圣经注释》本卷第30页。

耶7:8 “看哪，你们倚靠虚谎无益的话。 (串)本章4|耶5:31;14:13,14

†[吕]“但是你看，你们竟然倚靠虚假的话无所受益。

†[思]可惜！你们竟信赖虚伪无益的话。

†[当代]“‘看哪，你们竟信靠这些无益的谎话！

†[新译]“可是，你们竟然倚靠虚谎无益的话。

†[Wlb]惟尔恃无益之虚词、

†[Xdv]“看吧！你们倚靠那骗人的话是徒然的。

†[Kjv]Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

†[Nkjv]"Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit.

†[BBE]See, you put your faith in false words which are of no profit.

†[GNT] "Look, you put your trust in deceitful words.

†[NIV]But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.

本会注释　　指假先知用虚谎无益的话，引诱百姓关注外表的宗教礼节，而不是真正的内心感受（见对第4节注释）。

耶7:9 你们偷盗，杀害，奸淫，起假誓，向巴力烧香，并随从素不认识的别神， (串)何4:1,2番1:5|出20:3本章6

†[吕]怎么啦！你们偷盗、凶杀、奸淫、起假誓、熏祭献给巴力（即：外国人的神），随从素不认识之别的神，

†[思]怎么？你们竟偷盗，凶杀，通奸，发虚誓，向巴耳献香，跟随素不相识的外方神祗，

†[当代]你们胆敢偷盗、谋杀、行淫、起假誓、献祭给巴力，又随从你们所不认识的神只。

†[新译]你们怎可偷盗、凶杀、奸淫、起假誓、向巴力烧香，跟从你们素不认识的别神，

†[Wlb]攘窃杀戮、行淫妄誓、焚香于巴力、从事素所未识之他神、

†[Xdv]你们偷窃，杀人，奸淫，作伪证，向巴力献祭，拜你们不认识的神明。

†[Kjv]Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

†[Nkjv]Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know,

†[BBE]Will you take the goods of others, put men to death, and be untrue to your wives, and take false oaths, and have perfumes burned to the Baal, and go after other gods which are strange to you;

†[GNT] You steal, murder, commit adultery, tell lies under oath, offer sacrifices to Baal, and worship gods that you had not known before.

†[NIV]Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known,

本会注释　　你们偷盗。原文的结构即形象又醒目，可理解为：“什么！偷盗、谋杀、奸淫吗？”生动描写了这些罪行的蔓延和继续。
　　不认识的。反之，耶和华早已向以色列人显示了自己。祂救他们脱离奴役，在旷野里神奇地保佑他们，颁布了祂的神圣律法，又一直引导保守他们。百姓可以亲身体验到祂是上帝（见出20:1,2）。

耶7:10 且来到这称为我名下的殿，在我面前敬拜；又说：‘我们可以自由了。’你们这样的举动是要行那些可憎的事吗？ (串)结23:39|本章11,14,30耶32:34

†[吕]你们又来到这称为我名下的殿，站在我面前，说：‘我们得救了！’──无他，只为的是要继续行那些可厌恶的事罢了！是不是？

†[思]然后来到这座归我名下的殿，立在我面前说：“我们有了保障！”好再去行这一切可恶的事？

†[当代]然后，来到这以我名所建的圣殿中，伫立在我面前说：我们得释放了。你们是不是要再行可憎的事呢？

†[新译]然后来到这称为我名下的殿，站在我面前，说：‘我们安全啦！’你们这样就可以行这一切可憎的事吗？

†[Wlb]且诣我寄名之室、立于我前曰、我得释矣、致尔行此可恶之事、

†[Xdv]你们做我恨恶的事，然后跑到我的圣殿里，站在我面前，说：‘我们很安全！’

†[Kjv]And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

†[Nkjv]and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, "We are delivered to do all these abominations'?

†[BBE]And come and take your place before me in this house, which is named by my name, and say, We have been made safe; so that you may do all these disgusting things?

†[GNT] You do these things I hate, and then you come and stand in my presence, in my own Temple, and say, "We are safe!'

†[NIV]and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, "We are safe"-safe to do all these detestable things?

本会注释　　这称为我名下。见耶7:11,14,30；32:34；34:15；见@申12:5@注释。
　　要行那些可憎的事。这句总结性的话不是百姓说的，而是先知说的，揭露了那些在形式上参加礼拜的人内心的动机。由于所警告的惩罚来没有临到，百姓继续行可憎的事。

耶7:11 这称为我名下的殿在你们眼中岂可看为贼窝吗？我都看见了。这是耶和华说的。 (串)赛56:7|太21:13可11:17

†[吕]这称为我名下的殿、在你们眼中看就作为凶暴人的洞穴么？你瞧着吧，我都看见了：这是永恒主发神谕说的。

†[思]难道这座归我名下的殿宇，在你们眼中竟成了贼窝了吗？哎！我看实在是这样──上主的断语。

†[当代]难道这以我名所建的圣殿，在你们眼中竟变了贼窝？这些事，我都亲眼看见了。

†[新译]这称为我名下的殿，难道在你们眼中看为贼窝吗？但我都看见了。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]我寄名之室、尔乃视为盗穴乎、耶和华曰、我鉴之矣、

†[Xdv]你们以为我的圣殿是贼窝吗？我清清楚楚地看见你们的一举一动。

†[Kjv]Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it," says the LORD.

†[BBE]Has this house, which is named by my name, become a hole of thieves to you? Truly I, even I, have seen it, says the Lord.

†[GNT] Do you think that my Temple is a hiding place for robbers? I have seen what you are doing.

†[NIV]Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord .

本会注释　　贼窝。在圣殿里服侍敬拜的人都是恶人。他们用虔诚的外表掩盖自己的罪恶。
　　我都看见了。犹大的居民无法在上帝面前隐瞒自己罪恶的动机。祂不会被他们虚假的侍奉所蒙蔽。祂全都看见了，并要作出相应的处罚（见诗10:11,13,14；赛29:15）。

耶7:12 你们且往示罗去，就是我先前立为我名的居所，察看我因这百姓以色列的罪恶向那地所行的如何。” (串)书18:1士18:31|申12:11|撒上4:10,11诗78:60

†[吕]你请到我的地方，就是那在示罗的，我起先使我的名居住的所在，去察看我因我人民以色列的邪恶对那地所行的怎么样。

†[思]那么，请你们到我昔日在史罗立我名的地方去，察看我因我人民以色列的邪恶对她行了的事

†[当代]“‘你们现在上示罗去，这是我曾为我的名所立的地方，你们去看看因我子民以色列的罪，我向这地做了些什么事。

†[新译]“你们可以到示罗我的地方去，就是先前我名的居所，看看我因我子民以色列的邪恶，对那地方所行的。

†[Wlb]可往示罗、昔我寄名之所、视我为我民以色列邪恶、所行之事、

†[Xdv]你们到示罗去，看我选定的第一个居所，就知道我因我子民以色列的罪怎样对付那地方。

†[Kjv]But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

†[Nkjv]"But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.

†[BBE]But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I put my name at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil-doing of my people Israel.

†[GNT] Go to Shiloh, the first place where I chose to be worshiped, and see what I did to it because of the sins of my people Israel.

†[NIV]Go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for my Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.

本会注释　　示罗。位于以法莲境内，见士21:19。它处于中心地带，故适于设立圣所（见书18:1）。示罗作为约柜的安放地达300年之久。后来约柜被非利士人夺走（见撒上4:10,11）。由于以色列大肆崇拜偶像，上帝就“离弃示罗的帐幕”（诗78:60）。非利士人掳走了约柜，可以推定同时也摧毁了示罗（见@撒上5:1@注释）。
　　示罗现名塞伦（Seilûn），是一组由克嘉尔（H.Kjaer）率领的丹麦考古学家在1926至1932年发掘出来的。他们的结论是，该城在青铜时代中期和约公元前十三世纪到十一世纪有人居住，约在公元前十一世纪初被火烧毁，在公元前1100年到公元前300年无人居住。这些考古的发现与圣经的记录相吻合。虽然圣经没有明确记录该城的毁灭，但提到了以色列人在以便以谢和亚弗被非利士人打败，以及约柜的被掳（撒上4:1-11）。也许示罗就是在这时被烧毁的。
　　我……所行的如何。耶路撒冷的约柜能否保证带来比过去的示罗更大的安全呢？示罗的命运证明，单凭外表的崇拜得救是靠不住的。以利疏忽了他儿子的罪恶（见撒上2:12-17,22-25；《先祖与先知》第575-580页），百姓则仰赖约柜，而不是出于内心的宗教，来谋取上帝的悦纳。这些罪使示罗遭遇上帝的惩罚（见撒上4:17；诗78:55-64）。耶利米警告百姓：临到示罗及其圣所的惩罚即将落在耶路撒冷及其圣殿之上（耶7:14）。
　　罪恶。见撒上2:12。

耶7:13 耶和华说：“现在因你们行了这一切的事，我也从早起来警戒你们，你们却不听从；呼唤你们，你们却不答应。 (串)本章25代下36:15|箴1:24赛65:12

†[吕]现在呢、永恒主发神谕说，照你们行了这一切事，我也曾告诫了你们，又及时又屡次地告诫，你们却不听；我呼唤你们，你们却不应，

†[思]现在因为你们做了这一切事──上主的断语──我再叁恳切劝告你们，你们又不听；我呼唤你们，你们也不答应；

†[当代]现在，因为你们做了这些事，我早已向你们提出了警告，你们却不听；我呼唤你们，却没有回应。

†[新译]现在，因你们行了这一切事，我不断恳切告诫你们，你们却不听；我呼唤你们，你们却不答话。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、尔既行此、我屡戒尔、夙兴与言、惟尔弗听、我呼尔而弗应、

†[Xdv]你们犯了这许多罪过；我一再劝导你们，你们总是不听；我呼叫你们，你们总是不应答。

†[Kjv]And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

†[Nkjv]And now, because you have done all these works," says the LORD, "and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer,

†[BBE]And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and I sent my word to you, getting up early and sending, but you did not give ear; and my voice came to you, but you gave no answer:

†[GNT] You have committed all these sins, and even though I spoke to you over and over again, you refused to listen. You would not answer when I called you.

†[NIV]While you were doing all these things, declares the Lord , I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen; I called you, but you did not answer.

本会注释　　从早起来警戒。表示一再恳劝。这种说法是耶利米所特有的，有时稍作变动（见耶7:25；11:7；25:3,4；26:5；29:19；32:33；35:14,15；44:4；参代下36:15,16）。但不论上帝如何反复地恳劝，犹大的百姓就是不听（见箴1:24；太23:37）。

耶7:14 所以我要向这称我为名下、你们所倚靠的殿，与我所赐给你们和你们列祖的地施行，照我从前向示罗所行的一样。 (串)士18:31撒上2:32诗78:60耶26:6

†[吕]因此我必待这殿，就是这称为我名下的，你们所倚靠的，我必待这地方，就是我所赐给你们、和你们列祖的，像我从前待示罗一样。

†[思]为此，我要对付你们依恃的这座归于我名下的殿宇，并对付我给你们及你们祖先的地域，像对付史罗一样；

†[当代]因此，我要对付你们所倚靠这以我名而立的圣殿，也要对付我所赐给你们和你们祖先的地，像我对付示罗一样。

†[新译]“所以我从前怎样对待示罗，将来也怎样对待你们所倚靠的那称为我名下的殿，以及我赐给你们和你们列祖的地方。

†[Wlb]故我于我寄名之室、尔所恃者、及我锡尔列祖与尔之地、必有所为、如昔在示罗然、

†[Xdv]因此，我要对付你们所信靠那属于我的圣殿，像我从前对付示罗一样。我要对付我赐给你们和你们祖先的这地方，像我从前对付示罗一样。

†[Kjv]Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

†[Nkjv]therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

†[BBE]For this reason I will do to the house which is named by my name, and in which you have put your faith, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

†[GNT] And so, what I did to Shiloh I will do to this Temple of mine, in which you trust. Here in this place that I gave to your ancestors and you, I will do the same thing that I did to Shiloh.

†[NIV]Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the temple you trust in, the place I gave to you and your fathers.

本会注释　　这称为我名下。见第10节注释。
　　你们所倚靠的。见第4节注释。
　　示罗。耶利米以示罗的毁灭，作为耶路撒冷及其圣殿所面临之命运的一个教训（耶26:9；弥3:12）。

耶7:15 我必将你们从我眼前赶出，正如赶出你们的众弟兄，就是以法莲的一切后裔。” (串)王下17:23|诗78:67,68

†[吕]我必将你们丢掉离开我面前，正如丢掉你们的族弟兄（传统：众族弟兄）以法莲所有的后裔一样。

†[思]我必将你们由我面前抛弃，如同抛弃了你们所有的兄弟，厄弗辣因全体后裔一样。

†[当代]我要把你们从我眼中除掉，好像除掉你们所有的兄弟，就是以法莲全部的后裔。’

†[新译]我必把你们从我面前赶出，像我从前赶出你们的众兄弟，以法莲所有的后裔一样。

†[Wlb]我必屏尔于我前、犹昔屏尔昆弟以法莲全族焉、

†[Xdv]我要从我眼前把你们赶走，像我从前驱逐你们的亲族以色列人一样。我是上主；我这样宣布了。”

†[Kjv]And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

†[Nkjv]And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren--the whole posterity of Ephraim.

†[BBE]And I will send you away from before my face, as I have sent away all your brothers, even all the seed of Ephraim.

†[GNT] I will drive you out of my sight as I drove out your relatives, the people of Israel. I, the Lord, have spoken."

†[NIV]I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your brothers, the people of Ephraim.'

本会注释　　赶出。就是把你赶到外国去。迦南是耶和华的地（见利25:23；何9:3），受到祂的特别关照和看顾（见申11:12）。犹大现在不再受主的特别眷顾（见耶15:1；23:39；32:31；52:3），就像以前北方的以色列人被亚述人俘掳一样（见王下17:18-23；23:27）。
　　以法莲。常指北方的支派（见赛7:2；何4:17；5:9；12:1；参诗78:67,68）。以法莲支派以前在北方人数最多，力量最大。北方王国的第一任国王耶罗波安也是以法莲人。所以“以法莲”用来指整个北方王国。

耶7:16 “所以，你不要为这百姓祈祷；不要为他们呼求祷告，也不要向我为他们祈求，因我不听允你。 (串)出32:10耶11:14;14:11|耶15:1

†[吕]“你呢、也不要为这人民祈祷，不要为他们举喊求或祷告声，不要向我为他们代求，因为我不听你。

†[思]至于你，你不必为这人民祈祷，不必为他们呼吁哀求，也不必向我恳求，因为我不会俯听你。

†[当代]“你不用为他们苦苦哀求，也不用声嘶力竭地向我为他们祷告，因为我一定不会听的。

†[新译]“至于你，不要为这人民祈祷，不要为他们呼求祷告，也不要为他们向我恳求，因为我不会听你。

†[Wlb]勿为斯民祈祷、勿为之扬声呼吁、勿为之祈求于我、我不尔听也、

†[Xdv]上主说：“杰里迈亚呀，不要替这些人祷告；也不要为他们哀求。你不要向我祈求，因为我不听。

†[Kjv]Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

†[Nkjv]"Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you.

†[BBE]And as for you (Jeremiah), make no prayers for this people, send up no cry or prayer for them, make no request for them to me: for I will not give ear.

†[GNT] The Lord said, "Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not cry or pray on their behalf; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.

†[NIV]So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.

本会注释　　和上帝的其他先知一样，耶利米热心祈祷，急切地为他的同胞代求（见耶11:14；18:20；参创18:23-32；出33:11-14；民14:13-20；撒上7:9,10；12:17-19,23；诗106:23）。既然这个民族拒绝改革，面临的厄运就无法避免了。惩罚和管教必须进行。要求免去惩罚的祈祷，将不能奏效（见耶11:14；14:11,12；15:1；参出32:10；约壹5:16）。

耶7:17 他们在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上所行的，你没有看见吗？

†[吕]他们在犹大城市中和耶路撒冷街上所行的、你没有看见么？

†[思]他们在犹大各城和耶路撒冷街道上做的是什么事，难道你没有看见？

†[当代]你没有看见他们在犹大城中和耶路撒冷街道上所做的事吗？

†[新译]他们在犹大的各城中，在耶路撒冷的街道上所行的，你没有看见吗？

†[Wlb]彼于犹大诸邑、及耶路撒冷街衢所行者、尔未见之乎、

†[Xdv]难道你没有看见他们在犹大各城镇，在耶路撒冷的大街小巷做些什么吗？

†[Kjv]Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

†[Nkjv]Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

†[BBE]Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

†[GNT] Don't you see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

†[NIV]Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

本会注释　　如果耶利米想知道第16节拒绝的理由，就只需考虑一下事实。自称上帝子民的无耻背道是公开而肆无忌惮的的。

耶7:18 孩子捡柴，父亲烧火，妇女抟面做饼，献给天后，又向别神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。” (串)耶44:17,19|耶19:13

†[吕]儿子们捡柴，父老们烧火，妇女们抟面作祭饼，献给天后，又向别的神浇奠祭，以惹我发怒。

†[思]儿子拾柴，父亲烧火，母女揉面给天后做饼，向外方神祗行奠祭，来触怒我。

†[当代]孩子拾柴、父亲点火、妇人揉面做饼献祭给天后，他们向别的神只奠酒，以激起我的怒气。

†[新译]儿子捡柴，父亲生火，妇女抟面，为天后做饼，又向别的神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。

†[Wlb]子取薪、父举火、妇人抟面为饼、而奉天后、灌酒于他神、以激我怒、

†[Xdv]他们的儿女收集木柴，父亲点火，母亲揉面团做供饼，献给他们的女神天后。他们也向别的神明奠酒，故意激怒我。

†[Kjv]The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

†[Nkjv]The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.

†[BBE]The children go for wood, the fathers get the fire burning, the women are working the paste to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and drink offerings are drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.

†[GNT] The children gather firewood, the men build fires, and the women mix dough to bake cakes for the goddess they call the Queen of Heaven. They also pour out offerings of wine to other gods, in order to hurt me.

†[NIV]The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes of bread for the Queen of Heaven. They pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke me to anger.

本会注释　　孩子。全家人，包括孩子，都参加偶像崇拜，所以惩罚是向他们全体宣布的（见@耶6:11@注释）。
　　饼（kawwanim）。“奉献的饼”。以饼为祭是一些近东宗教的礼仪。这种异教的习俗后来传到了基督教之内。伊皮法纽斯（约315-402年，《驳异端》{Against Heresies} lxxviii.23；lxxix.1）说有些妇女甚至“奉万福之马利亚的名献饼”。“在某些日子，她们奉马利亚的名献饼，但大家全都参加。”耶利米时代所献的饼是一种素祭，加上浇奠酒（见耶44:19,25），作为崇拜的一部份。饼上还可能印上女神的像。
　　天后。见@耶44:17@注释。
　　其他的神。敬拜天后只是异教偶像崇拜的形式之一。

耶7:19 耶和华说：“他们岂是惹我发怒呢？不是自己惹祸，以致脸上惭愧吗？” (串)申32:16,21

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：他们惹怒的哪里是我呢？岂不是惹了他们自己的祸，为要以满脸惭愧么？

†[思]他们果真触怒我吗？──上主的断语──岂不是触犯自己，使自己满面羞惭？

†[当代]难道他们真的能害我吗？岂不是他们难为了自己，叫自己羞愧吗？

†[新译]他们害的是我吗？岂不是他们自己，以致脸上蒙羞吗？”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、彼激我怒乎、岂非自激、致面有惭色哉、

†[Xdv]其实，他们不是伤害我，他们是伤害自己，自取其辱。

†[Kjv]Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

†[Nkjv]Do they provoke Me to anger?" says the LORD. "Do they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?"

†[BBE]Are they moving me to wrath? says the Lord; are they not moving themselves to their shame?

†[GNT] But am I really the one they are hurting? No, they are hurting themselves and bringing shame on themselves.

†[NIV]But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord . Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?

本会注释　　自己惹祸。原文强调的是他们咎由自取。百姓崇拜偶像，必然自食其果（见伯35:6,8；箴8:36）。
　　惭愧。见耶3:25。

耶7:20 所以主耶和华如此说：“看哪，我必将我的怒气和忿怒倾在这地方的人和牲畜身上，并田野的树木和地里的出产上，必如火着起，不能熄灭。”

†[吕]因此主永恒主这么说：看吧，我的怒气我的烈怒必倒在这地方、倒在人和牲口身上、倒在田野的树木和地土的果实上；怒火必着起来，不能熄灭。”

†[思]为此我上主这样说：看，我的愤怒和怒火，必要倾注在这地方的人和走兽身上，田间的树木和土地的出产上，燃烧不熄。

†[当代]因此，我的主这样说：‘我的怒气将向这地的人、牲畜、田野的植物、地上的出产倾倒下来；如火点燃，不能熄灭。’”

†[新译]因此，主耶和华这样说：“看哪！我的怒气和忿怒，必倒在这地方，也必倒在人口、牲畜、田野的树木和地的出产上；怒火烧起，不能熄灭。”

†[Wlb]故主耶和华曰、我必倾我忿怒于斯土、在其人民牲畜、田木土产、如火之烈、焚毁不熄、

†[Xdv]所以，我──至高的上主要把忿怒倾泻在这座圣殿，也要倾泻在人、动物、树木，和五谷上面。我的忿怒像烈火燃烧，没有人能扑灭。

†[Kjv]Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

†[Nkjv]Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place--on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched."

†[BBE]So this is what the Lord God has said: See, my wrath and my passion will be let loose on this place, on man and beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the produce of the earth; it will be burning and will not be put out.

†[GNT] And so I, the Sovereign Lord, will pour out my fierce anger on this Temple. I will pour it out on people and animals alike, and even on the trees and the crops. My anger will be like a fire that no one can put out.

†[NIV]Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: My anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground, and it will burn and not be quenched.

本会注释　　惩罚的火一经点燃，人就无法熄灭（见耶4:4；15:14；17:27；21:12；哀2:3；4:11；参申32:22）。

耶7:21 万军之耶和华以色列的上帝如此说：“你们将燔祭加在平安祭上，吃肉吧！ (串)赛1:11耶6:20摩5:22

†[吕]万军之永恒主以色列之上帝这么说：“你们尽管将你们的熏祭加在你们的平安祭上、吃肉吧。

†[思]万军的上主，以色列的天主这样说：“你们献祭后，尽管再加献全燔祭，尽管饱食祭肉；

†[当代]万军之主以色列的上帝这样说：“你们尽管把燔祭加在你们的平安祭上，多吃祭肉吧！

†[新译]万军之耶和华以色列的　神这样说：“你们尽管把燔祭加在平安祭上，自己吃祭肉吧！

†[Wlb]万军之耶和华、以色列之上帝曰、以尔燔祭加于他祭、而食其肉、

†[Xdv]“我的子民哪，你们认为有些牲祭要烧光，有些牲祭可以吃。但是我──上主、万军的统帅、以色列的上帝这样说：你们不如把所有的祭肉通通吃掉。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

†[Nkjv]Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.

†[BBE]These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: Put your burned offerings with your offerings of beasts, and take flesh for your food.

†[GNT] "My people, some sacrifices you burn completely on the altar, and some you are permitted to eat. But what I, the Lord, say is that you might as well eat them all.

†[NIV]This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go ahead, add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!

本会注释　　万军之耶和华。见第3节注释。
　　燔祭（`olah）。直译是“那上升的”（见@创8:20@；@利1:3@注释）。祭物要在圣坛的火中烧尽（见利1:9）。
　　平安祭（zebachim）。泛指一切可以吃的祭（见平安祭的解释，《SDA圣经注释》卷一第700、701页）。先知宣布犹大的百姓既可吃平安祭的肉，也可吃燔祭的肉，反正上帝都不会接纳（见耶6:20；何9:4）。祭物再多也不能避免即将临到的惩罚。

耶7:22 因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日，燔祭平安祭的事我并没有提说，也没有吩咐他们。 (串)撒上15:22诗51:16,17何6:6

†[吕]因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来那一天，关于熏祭和平安祭的事我并没有提说，也没有吩咐他们呀；

†[思]可是，关于全燔祭和献祭的事情，我在领你们祖先出离埃及那一天，并没有对他们谈及或吩咐什么，

†[当代]因为在领你们出埃及的那日，我并没有吩咐或命令你们祖先有关献祭的事。

†[新译]因为我把你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日，燔祭和平安祭的事，我并没有向他们提说，也没有吩咐他们。

†[Wlb]盖我导尔列祖出埃及时、未尝以燔祭及他祭命之、

†[Xdv]我领你们的祖先出埃及的时候，我并没有命令他们献烧化祭或其它祭物。

†[Kjv]For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

†[Nkjv]For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.

†[BBE]For I said nothing to your fathers, and gave them no orders, on the day when I took them out of Egypt, about burned offerings or offerings of beasts:

†[GNT] I gave your ancestors no commands about burnt offerings or any other kinds of sacrifices when I brought them out of Egypt.

†[NIV]For when I brought your forefathers out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices,

本会注释　　我并没有提说。这是圣经中难解的章节之一，表面上似乎与圣经的其他论述相矛盾。耶利米似乎否认上帝在西奈山有关献祭物的指示。但我们不要这样理解先知的话。从先知所说的其他话语来看，先知并没有否定献祭的制度（耶17:26；31:14；33:11,17-24）。那么，该怎样理解他的话呢？耶利米显然运用修辞的手法把两个概念进行比较，以否定一个来肯定另一个。这种方法的例子还有：一，在创45:8里，约瑟告诉他的兄弟们，送他到埃及的不是他们，而是上帝。其实他的兄弟对此负有主要的责任。二，在出16:8中，摩西对悖逆的群众说，他们的怨言不是针对他，而是针对上帝的，但实际上他们是向摩西发的怨言。耶稣也用过类似的方法（路14:26）。表面上祂似乎吩咐人恨自己的家人。但实际上祂只是强调爱上帝超过对人的爱。祂所说的“恨”实际上是“少爱”。
　　本段经文强调顺从道德律法比顺从仪文制度更重要（见撒上15:22；诗51:16,17）。外表上的遵守是为了提醒人真心的顺从（见申6:1-3），但绝不能替代内心的圣洁。上帝在西奈山根本没有吩咐过耶利米同胞的那种崇拜方式。

耶7:23 我只吩咐他们这一件说：‘你们当听从我的话，我就作你们的上帝，你们也作我的子民。你们行我所吩咐的一切道，就可以得福。’ (串)出15:26申6:3耶11:4,7|出19:5利26:12

†[吕]我只吩咐他们以下这一件，说：‘你们要听我的声音，我就做你们的上帝，你们就做我的子民；你们要行我所吩咐你们的一切道路，好得平安顺遂。’

†[思]只吩咐了他们这事说：你们应听从我的声音，那么我必作你们的天主，你们也必作我的人民；你们应走我吩咐你们的一切道路，好使你们获得幸福。

†[当代]但我却曾经吩咐你们说：‘听从我的话，我就作你们的上帝，你们就作我的子民；你们依从我所吩咐的去行，就能得福。’

†[新译]我只吩咐他们这一件事，说：‘你们要听从我的话，我就作你们的　神，你们也作我的子民；你们要遵行我所吩咐的一切道，好使你们蒙福。’

†[Wlb]惟命之曰、当听我言、我则为尔上帝、尔为我民、悉行我所命尔之道、必蒙福祉、

†[Xdv]我只命令他们听从我；这样，我就作他们的上帝，他们作我的子民。我要他们遵行我的道路；这样，他们就会万事顺利。

†[Kjv]But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

†[Nkjv]But this is what I commanded them, saying, "Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.'

†[BBE]But this was the order I gave them, saying, Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.

†[GNT] But I did command them to obey me, so that I would be their God and they would be my people. And I told them to live the way I had commanded them, so that things would go well for them.

†[NIV]but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you.

本会注释　　我就作你们的上帝。见出6:7；利26:12；申29:13节。这句话经常出现在《耶利米书》中（耶11:4；24:7；30:22；31:3；32:38）。
　　一切道。与申5:33相似（见申9:12,16；11:28；31:29）。
　　就可以得福。《耶利米书》经常用这句话（见耶38:20；40:9；42:6）。《申命记》也是如此（见申4:40；5:16,33；6:18）。

耶7:24 他们却不听从，不侧耳而听，竟随从自己的计谋和顽梗的恶心，向后不向前。 (串)诗81:11耶11:8|申29:19诗81:12|耶2:27;32:33

†[吕]但他们却不听从，不倾耳以听，竟凭着自己的计谋，随自己顽强之坏心思而行，向后而不向前。

†[思]他们不但不侧耳细听，反倒依照自己的计谋，随自己邪恶的心生活，顽固不化；不以面向我，却以背向我。

†[当代]可惜，你们却掩耳不听，反而依从自己的筹算和那执迷不悟的恶心行事，不进反而退。

†[新译]他们却没有听从，也不留心，反倒按着他们的计谋，随从自己顽梗的恶心行事，向后不向前。

†[Wlb]惟彼不从、不倾耳以听、乃行己谋、徇其恶心之刚愎、退却不前、

†[Xdv]可是，他们不听从，也不理会，反而受自己那顽固邪恶的心所支配，越变越坏。

†[Kjv]But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

†[Nkjv]Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.

†[BBE]But they took no note and did not give ear, but were guided by the thoughts and the pride of their evil hearts, going back and not forward.

†[GNT] But they did not obey or pay any attention. Instead, they did whatever their stubborn and evil hearts told them to do, and they became worse instead of better.

†[NIV]But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.

本会注释　　听从（shama`）。“倾听”，“留意”或“顺从”。第24-28节叙述了以色列人悖逆耶和华仁慈命令的不幸事实（见诗81:11,12）。
　　不侧耳而听。见赛55:3；耶25:4；44:5。
　　顽梗（sheriruth）。在《旧约》中，该词总是与“心”联系在一起（见耶3:17中；9:14；11:8；13:10；16:12；18:12；23:17；参申29:19；诗81:12）。
　　向后。见第26节，耶2:27；32:33；参尼9:29；何4:16。犹大像一头固执后退的牛，不肯负轭。在宗教和道德经验上是不可能停顿的。不是前进，就是后退（见《证言》卷五第93页）。

†[GNT] Yet no one listened or paid any attention. Instead, you became more stubborn and rebellious than your ancestors.

†[NIV]But they did not listen to me or pay attention. They were stiff-necked and did more evil than their forefathers.'

本会注释　　不听从。见第24节注释。
　　硬着颈项。比喻倔强（见@王下17:14@注释）。
　　比你们列祖更甚。耶利米时代的百姓得罪了更大的亮光。他们没有接受祖先的教训，还在圣殿的范围立起了所崇拜的偶像（见耶7:30；参王下21:7）。

耶7:27 “你要将这一切的话告诉他们，他们却不听从；呼唤他们，他们却不答应。 (串)结2:7

†[吕]“你要将这一切话告诉他们，虽则他们不听从；你要呼唤他们，尽管他们不应；

†[思]纵使你将这一切话告诉他们，他们也不会听从你；任凭你怎样呼唤，他们也不会答应你。

†[当代]“你虽然将这番话告诉他们，他们也不会听；你纵然向他们呼吁，他们也是毫无反应。

†[新译]“你要把这一切话告诉他们，他们却不听从你；你呼叫他们，他们也不回应。

†[Wlb]尔将告以斯言、惟彼不听、尔将呼之、惟彼不应、

†[Xdv]“因此，杰里迈亚呀，你要向我子民传达这些话，但是他们不听；你要呼召他们，但是他们不应答，

†[Kjv]Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

†[Nkjv]"Therefore you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

†[BBE]And you are to say all these words to them, but they will not give ear to you: you will send out your voice to them, but they will give no answer.

†[GNT] "So, Jeremiah, you will speak all these words to my people, but they will not listen to you; you will call them, but they will not answer.

†[NIV]When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer.

耶7:28 你要对他们说：这就是不听从耶和华他们上帝的话、不受教训的国民；从他们的口中，诚实灭绝了。” (串)耶5:3;32:33|耶9:3

†[吕]你要对他们说：‘这就是不听永恒主他们之上帝的声音，不接受管教的国；忠信已经灭没，被割断离开他们的口了。

†[思]为此你对他们说：这个民族，不听上主自己天主的声音，不肯接受教训；忠实已丧失，已绝于他们口中。

†[当代]你要对他们说：‘这个不听主他们的上帝的话，又不肯接受教训的国家，你们只生活在虚谎之中。

†[新译]然而，你要对他们说：‘这就是不听从耶和华他们　神的话，不受管教的国；诚实丧尽，并已从他们的口中断绝了。

†[Wlb]宜语之曰、斯乃不听其上帝耶和华之言、不受训诲之国、真实亡矣、绝于其口、

†[Xdv]你要指责他们：他们的国家不接受惩戒，不听从我──上主、他们的上帝。忠信丧尽，他们连提都不提了！”

†[Kjv]But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

†[Nkjv]"So you shall say to them, "This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the LORD their God nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.

†[BBE]And you are to say to them, This is the nation which has not given ear to the voice of their God, or taken his teaching to heart: good faith is dead and is cut off from their mouths.

†[GNT] You will tell them that their nation does not obey me, the Lord their God, or learn from their punishment. Faithfulness is dead. No longer is it even talked about.

†[NIV]Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.

本会注释　　国民。指民族。以色列成了顽固和悖逆的典型（见赛1:4）。她所享有圣约的特权，使她的罪行更加严重。
　　诚实。即忠诚（见@耶5:3@注释）。

耶7:29 耶路撒冷啊，要剪发抛弃，在净光的高处举哀；因为耶和华丢掉离弃了惹他忿怒的世代。 (串)伯1:20赛15:2耶16:6弥1:16

†[吕]耶路撒冷阿，把头发剪下来，丢掉吧；在无草木的高处上举哀吧；因为永恒主弃绝摈弃了他所恼怒的世代了。’

†[思]你该剪去你的一绺头发，把它抛掉，在高丘上唱哀歌，因为上主摈斥，且抛弃了憎恨的时代。

†[当代]耶路撒冷啊，你要剪掉你的秀发，在荒山之上哀哭，因为主已把这惹人恼恨的世代摒弃搁置了。’

†[新译]“‘你要剪去头发，并且把它拋掉，上到光秃的高冈举哀，因为耶和华摈斥、弃绝了他所憎恨的世代。’”

†[Wlb]耶路撒冷民欤、当剪发而掷之、举哀于荒邱、盖耶和华怒斯世、而弃之矣、

†[Xdv]“耶路撒冷人哪，哀悼吧！剃光头发，把它扔掉！到山头上唱挽歌吧！因为我──上主抛弃了激怒我的子民。

†[Kjv]Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

†[Nkjv]Cut off your hair and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the desolate heights; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.'

†[BBE]Let your hair be cut off, O Jerusalem, and let it go, and let a song of grief go up on the open hilltops; for the Lord is turned away from the generation of his wrath and has given them up.

†[GNT] "Mourn, people of Jerusalem; cut off your hair and throw it away. Sing a funeral song on the hilltops, because I, the Lord, am angry and have rejected my people.

†[NIV]Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the Lord has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath.

本会注释　　要剪发抛弃。原文的动词和物主代词都是阴性的，说明这句话是针对女性的。本节把耶路撒冷比作一个妇女，为失去儿女而深深悲伤，剪掉头发，到山上去举哀哭泣（见士11:37；哀1:1-3）。剪掉头发表示伤心至极（伯1:20；赛15:2；耶16:6；48:37；弥1:16）。有人认为这是指拿细耳人的散发，周围献身给上帝的标志（见民6:19）。拿细耳人与死尸接触而受到污染以后，就要剪掉头发（民6:6-21）。
　　高处（shephayim）。“光秃的山顶”。

耶7:30 耶和华说：“犹大人行我眼中看为恶的事，将可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中，污秽这殿。 (串)王下21:4,7代下33:4,5,7结7:20

†[吕]“因为犹大人行我所看为坏的事，把他们可憎之像立在称为我名下的殿中，来污渎它：这是永恒主发神谕说的。

†[思]的确，犹大子民作了我视为邪恶的事──上主的断语──将他们可恶之物，安置在归我名下的殿宇，使殿宇遭受玷污；

†[当代]犹大人做了我视为邪恶的事，把可憎之物放在以我名建立的圣殿中，把它染污了。

†[新译]“因为犹大人行了我看为恶的事，把他们可憎的偶像安放在称为我名下的殿中，污渎了这殿。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、犹大人行我所恶、以其可憎者、置于我寄名之室、俾染污蔑、

†[Xdv]“犹大人做了一件可恶的事。他们把我憎恨的偶像放在敬拜我的圣殿里，污辱了我的居所。

†[Kjv]For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

†[Nkjv]For the children of Judah have done evil in My sight," says the LORD. "They have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to pollute it.

†[BBE]For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the Lord: they have put their disgusting images in the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.

†[GNT] "The people of Judah have done an evil thing. They have placed their idols, which I hate, in my Temple and have defiled it.

†[NIV]The people of Judah have done evil in my eyes, declares the Lord . They have set up their detestable idols in the house that bears my Name and have defiled it.

本会注释　　玛拿西曾在上帝的殿中设立亚舍拉的雕像，亵渎了圣殿（见王下21:5,7；见@耶7:18@注释）。百姓不满足于在原来迦南的神龛举行淫荡的仪式，或在房顶上向天上的万象烧香（见耶19:13）。他们堕落到污秽上帝居所的地步（见耶23:11；32:34）。

耶7:31 他们在欣嫩子谷建筑陀斐特的邱坛，好在火中焚烧自己的儿女。这并不是我所吩咐的，也不是我心所起的意。” (串)王下23:10耶19:6|诗106:38|申17:3

†[吕]他们筑了陀斐特的邱坛、就是那在欣嫩子平谷中的，去用火焚烧自己的儿女：这并不是我所吩咐的，也不是我心里所起意过的。

†[思]又在本希农山谷的托斐特建了丘坛，为火焚自己的子女；这是我从没有吩咐，也从没有想到的事。

†[当代]他们在欣嫩子谷建了陀斐特的邱坛，焚烧自己的儿女。这不是我吩咐你们的，我也从未这样想过。

†[新译]“他们在欣嫩子谷中，建造了陀斐特的邱坛，用火焚烧自己的儿女；这不是我吩咐的，我也没有在心里想过。

†[Wlb]且建陀斐特崇邱、即在欣嫩子谷、焚其子女于火、此事非我所命、亦非我心所思、

†[Xdv]他们在欣子谷造了陀斐特祭坛，把自己的儿女焚烧献在上面。我并没有要求他们献这种祭，连想也没有想过。

†[Kjv]And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

†[Nkjv]And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart.

†[BBE]And they have put up the high place of Topheth in the valley of the son of Hinnom, burning their sons and their daughters there in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me and never came into my mind.

†[GNT] In Hinnom Valley they have built an altar called Topheth, so that they can sacrifice their sons and daughters in the fire. I did not command them to do this - it did not even enter my mind.

†[NIV]They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire-something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.

本会注释　　焚烧自己的儿女。以儿女为祭，是腓尼基人，摩亚人，亚扪人和其它民族偶像崇拜的一部份。亚哈斯（见@王下16:3@注释）和玛拿西（见@王下21:6@注释）也效法了这种恐怖的习俗。不知道孩子是活活烧死，还是先被杀死的。由于孩子是献给摩洛为燔祭的（见耶19:5；结16:20,21），有人认为他们是先被杀死的。狄奥多罗-西库路斯（xiii.37，39；xx.14）描写了当时在迦太基的腓尼基殖民地所举行的这种仪式。人形牛头的铜像，伸出双臂。铜像是空心的，可以加热。孩子放在滚烫的双臂上。他们的哭声被长笛和铜鼓的声音所淹没。
　　普鲁塔克（约46-119年，希腊传记记家，《论迷信》第13章）说，在举行仪式时，父母站旁边，没有流泪哭泣。但在耶利米的时代，孩子可能是先被杀死的。诗人说这种祭是“祭祀鬼魔”（诗106:37,38）的。
　　陀斐特。在欣嫩子谷献孩子给摩洛的地方。“陀斐特”的词源不明。有人认为它源于希伯来词tuph，意为“吐出”，表示憎恶或痛恨。陀斐特可能是这个偶像崇拜中心的贬称，就像用bosheth（“羞耻”），来称呼巴力一样（见@士6:32@；@撒下2:8@注释）。也有人认为陀斐特源于toph（“手鼓”，见《SDA圣经注释》卷三第30、31页），采用这个名字源于用鼓声来掩盖孩子们被献时哭声的做法。弥尔顿在《失乐园》（bk.I，ll.391-396）中提到了这种做法：
　　“首先，可怕的国王摩洛，
　　　沾着人祭的血，和父母的眼泪；
　　　大鼓和手鼓的噪声
　　　淹没了孩子们的哭声，
　　　他们经火献给他冷酷的神像”。
　　邱坛（bamoth）。原文不同于第29节的“高处”，指所设立拜偶像的地方（见王上11:7；王下17:9；结16:16）。
　　这并不是我所吩咐的。见耶19:5；32:35。上帝不但没有吩咐这些仪式，而且予以严格的禁止，违者处以最严厉的惩罚（见利18:21；20:1-5；申12:31；18:9,10）。

耶7:32 耶和华说：“因此，日子将到，这地方不再称为陀斐特和欣嫩子谷，反倒称为杀戮谷。因为要在陀斐特葬埋尸首，甚至无处可葬； (串)耶19:6|王下23:10耶19:11

†[吕]因此你看吧，日子必到，永恒主发神谕说，这地方必不再称为陀斐特或欣嫩子平谷，乃要称为杀戮之平谷；因为人必在陀斐特埋葬死人，因为没有的地方。

†[思]为此，看，时日将到──上主的断语──人不再称这地方为“托斐特”，或“本希农谷”，却要称它为“屠杀谷”；由于坟地不够，连托斐特也将充作坟场。

†[当代]因此，可怕的日子将要来临，那地不再称为陀斐特或欣嫩子谷，而要叫做杀灭谷；因为他们要把死人埋葬在这里，直到尸首满谷，无处可容。

†[新译]因此，看哪！日子快到，人必不再称这地方为陀斐特或欣嫩子谷，却要称它为‘杀戮谷’；人必在陀斐特埋葬尸体，甚至无处可容。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]故耶和华曰、时日将至、此地不复称陀斐特、亦不称欣嫩子谷、惟称杀戮谷、盖必葬死人于陀斐特、致无隙地、

†[Xdv]所以，有一天，那地方不再叫陀斐特或欣子谷，而要叫‘屠杀谷’。因为坟地不够，人要在陀斐特埋葬尸体。

†[Kjv]Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

†[Nkjv]"Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "when it will no more be called Tophet, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Tophet until there is no room.

†[BBE]For this cause, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death: for they will put the dead into the earth in Topheth till there is no more room.

†[GNT] And so, the time will come when it will no longer be called Topheth or Hinnom Valley, but Slaughter Valley. They will bury people there because there will be nowhere else to bury them.

†[NIV]So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord , when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter, for they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.

本会注释　　似乎指杀戮的范围极大，连葬身之地都没有。

耶7:33 并且这百姓的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物，并无人哄赶。 (串)结6:5|申28:26诗79:2|耶12:9

†[吕]这人民的尸体必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽做食物，也没有人哄走。

†[思]这人民的体将成为天空飞鸟和地上走兽的食物，而没有人来驱逐。

†[当代]这些人的尸体，将成为雀鸟和走兽的食物，没有人来驱逐它们。

†[新译]“这人民的尸体，也必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物，没有人来驱赶。

†[Wlb]空中飞鸟、地上野兽、将食斯民之尸、无人驱之、

†[Xdv]飞鸟和走兽要来吃尸体，没有人可赶走它们。

†[Kjv]And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

†[Nkjv]The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth. And no one will frighten them away.

†[BBE]And the bodies of this people will be food for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth; and there will be no one to send them away.

†[GNT] The corpses will be food for the birds and wild animals, and there will be no one to scare them off.

†[NIV]Then the carcasses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away.

本会注释　　给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物。许多尸体没有埋葬（见申28:26；耶16:4；19:7；耶34:20）。因为杀死的多，幸存者少。
　　哄赶。意为“恐吓”。城市差不多空无一人，以致没有人去吓跑吃尸体的鸟兽（参启19:17,18,21）。

耶7:34 那时，我必使犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上，欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，都止息了，因为地必成为荒场。” (串)赛24:7,8耶16:9结26:13|利26:32赛1:7;3:26

†[吕]那时我必使犹大城市中和耶路撒冷街上欢跃的声音和喜乐的声音、新郎的声音和新妇的声音、都止息住；因为这地必变为荒废之处。

†[思]我必使犹大城内和耶路撒冷街上，再也听不到欢愉和喜乐的声音，新郎和新娘的声音，因为这地要变为荒野。

†[当代]我要使犹大城邑和耶路撒冷的欢乐声，新郎和新娘的谈笑声全部消失，因为这地将要成为废墟。”

†[新译]那时，我必在犹大的城市中和耶路撒冷的街道上，使欢欣和快乐的声音、新郎和新妇的声音止息，因为这地必要变为荒场。”

†[Wlb]维时、我必使犹大诸邑、及耶路撒冷街衢、无有欢欣喜乐之声、与新娶者及新妇之声、以斯土成为荒芜矣、

†[Xdv]我要使整块土地死气沉沉；犹大各城镇和耶路撒冷的大街小巷不再有欢笑，也不再有婚宴喜庆的声音。这块土地要荒废。

†[Kjv]Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

†[Nkjv]Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. For the land shall be desolate.

†[BBE]And in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, I will put an end to the laughing voices, the voice of joy and the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride: for the land will become a waste.

†[GNT] The land will become a desert. In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the happy sounds of wedding feasts.

†[NIV]I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.

本会注释　　欢喜和快乐的声音。灾难和悲叹将代替欢笑和欢乐。特别提到伴随着新郎和新娘从娘家到夫家的歌唱和音乐的止息（见赛24:7,8；耶16:9；启18:23）。
　　荒场（chorbah）。指原来住人，后遭毁灭的地方。土地将变成一片荒漠。
