耶利米书第8章

《圣经》耶利米书-第8章

耶8:1 耶和华说：“到那时，人必将犹大王的骸骨和他首领的骸骨、祭司的骸骨、先知的骸骨，并耶路撒冷居民的骸骨，都从坟墓中取出来，

†[吕]当那时候──永恒主发神谕说──人必将犹大列王的骸骨、和首领的骸骨、祭司们的骸骨、众神言人的骸骨、以及耶路撒冷居民的骸骨、都从坟墓中取出来，

†[思]到那时──上主的语──人必从坟墓中拖出犹大君王的遗骸，公侯的遗骸，司祭的遗骸，先知的遗骸，和耶路撒冷居民的遗骸，

†[当代]主说：“在那时，人要从坟墓中把犹大王的骸骨并领袖、祭司、先知及耶路撒冷居民的骸骨掘出来，

†[新译]“到那一天（这是耶和华的宣告），敌人要把犹大列王、首领、祭司、先知和耶路撒冷居民的骸骨，都从他们的坟墓里取出来，

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、当是时、人必取犹大君王之骨、牧伯之骨、祭司之骨、先知之骨、耶路撒冷居民之骨、出于其墓、

†[Xdv]“到那一天，敌人要把犹大诸王、官长、祭司、先知，和耶路撒冷居民的骸骨，都从坟里挖出来，

†[Kjv]At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:

†[Nkjv]"At that time," says the LORD, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.

†[BBE]At that time, says the Lord, they will take the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem out of their resting-places:

†[GNT] "At that time the bones of the kings and of the officials of Judah, as well as the bones of the priests, of the prophets, and of the other people who lived in Jerusalem, will be taken out of their graves.

†[NIV]At that time, declares the Lord , the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.

本会注释　　到那时。就是耶7:32-34的事件发生的时候。
　　将……骸骨……取出来。有人认为这种暴尸的动机是为了搜寻与国王同葬的财宝，首饰和证章等。但根据上下文，其动机更有可能是发泄对死者的憎恶。这种做法与亚述人对待被征服国君王坟墓的恐怖做法是一致的。遭到暴尸的人，正是带领犹大堕落的阶层。

耶8:2 抛散在日头、月亮，和天上众星之下，就是他们从前所喜爱、所事奉、所随从、所求问、所敬拜的。这些骸骨不再收殓，不再葬埋，必在地面上成为粪土； (串)王下23:5结8:16|耶22:19|王下9:37诗83:10耶9:22

†[吕]抛散在日头、月亮、和天上的万象之下，就是他们从前所喜爱、所事奉、所随从、所求问、所敬拜的；这些骸骨必不再被收殓，不再埋葬，就在地面上成为粪土。

†[思]陈列在他们曾爱恋、事奉、追随、求问和朝拜过的太阳、月亮和天上群星前，再没有人收殓埋葬，任其留在地面充作肥料。

†[当代]抛散在他们昔日所恋慕、效力、追随、求问、敬拜的日月星辰之下，无人收殓埋葬，只有像粪土一样被弃置在地上。

†[新译]拋散在太阳、月亮和天上的万象之下，就是他们从前所爱慕、服事、跟随、求问、敬拜的。这些骸骨必不再被收殓埋葬，必在地面上成为粪肥。

†[Wlb]陈于日月天象之下、即其所恋慕、服事顺从、寻求崇拜者、无人收而瘗之、将于地上同乎粪土、

†[Xdv]暴露在太阳、月亮，和星星底下。这些天体正是他们生前所爱慕、服事、占卜、崇拜的。这些骸骨不再被收殓埋葬，要变成地面上的肥料。

†[Kjv]And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

†[Nkjv]They shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought and which they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be like refuse on the face of the earth.

†[BBE]And they will put them out before the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, whose lovers and servants they have been, after whom they have gone, to whom they have made prayers, and to whom they have given worship: they will not be put together or placed in the earth; they will be waste on the face of the earth.

†[GNT] Instead of being gathered and buried, their bones will be like manure lying on the ground. They will be spread out before the sun, the moon, and the stars, which these people have loved and served, and which they have consulted and worshiped.

†[NIV]They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.

本会注释　　抛散。无疑指随处乱撒，毫无敬意。
　　天上众星。这是具有讽刺意义的画面。宇宙的天体默然观看它们崇拜者的尸骨遭到侮辱。
　　所喜爱。见王下17:16；21:3；耶19:13；结8:16；番1:5。他们爱得发狂。
　　收殓。即埋葬。

耶8:3 并且这恶族所剩下的民在我所赶他们到的各处，宁可拣死不拣生。这是万军之耶和华说的。” (串)伯3:21,22;7:15,16启9:6

†[吕]这坏族所遗留下的余剩之民、在我所放逐到的各地方（传统多：所剩下的）宁可选择死，也不选择活；这是万军之永恒主发神谕说的。

†[思]这可恶种族剩下的全体遗民，在我驱逐他们所到的任何地方，都愿意死，而不愿意生──万军上主断语。

†[当代]这可恶的家族所剩下的子民，在我驱逐他们所到的地方，宁愿死也不要活。”这是万军之主说的。

†[新译]这邪恶的家族剩下的余民，在我驱逐他们到的各地，宁可选择死，也不要存活。”这是万军之耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]此恶族之遗民、为我所逐、居于各处、宁求死、不求生、万军之耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]这邪恶国家残存的人要在我流放他们去的地方求死而不求生。我是上主──万军的统帅；我这样宣布了。”

†[Kjv]And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

†[Nkjv]Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them," says the LORD of hosts.

†[BBE]And death will be desired more than life by the rest of this evil family who are still living in all the places where I have sent them away, says the Lord of armies.

†[GNT] And the people of this evil nation who survive, who live in the places where I have scattered them, will prefer to die rather than to go on living. I, the Lord Almighty, have spoken."

†[NIV]Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the Lord Almighty.'

耶8:4 你要对他们说，耶和华如此说：人跌倒，不再起来吗？人转去，不再转来吗？

†[吕]“你要对他们说：永恒主这么说：人跌倒，不再起来么？人转去，不再转回来么？

†[思]你应对他们说：上主这样说：人跌倒了，岂能不再起来？人离去了，岂能不再回来？

†[当代]“你要对他们说：‘主这样说：难道人跌倒不再站起来吗？去后就不再回来吗？

†[新译]“你要对他们说：‘耶和华这样说：人跌倒了，不再起来吗？人偏离了，不再回转吗？

†[Wlb]又告之曰、耶和华云、人蹶、岂不复起乎、人去、岂不旋归乎、

†[Xdv]上主吩咐我向他子民这样说：“人跌倒了，不想站起来吗？人迷了路，不想回头吗？

†[Kjv]Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

†[Nkjv]"Moreover you shall say to them, "Thus says the LORD: "Will they fall and not rise? Will one turn away and not return?

†[BBE]Further, you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Will those who are falling not be lifted up again? will he who has gone away not come back?

†[GNT] The Lord told me to say to his people, "When someone falls down, doesn't he get back up? If someone misses the road, doesn't he turn back?

†[NIV]Say to them, 'This is what the Lord says: " 'When men fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return?

本会注释　　人跌倒，不再起来吗？与人的正常行为相比，耶路撒冷居民的顽梗不化实在是荒唐。一个人摔倒在地上，难道就躺在那里，不肯起身吗？
　　人转去，不再转来么。人走错了路，难道就不愿意回来吗？

耶8:5 这耶路撒冷的民，为何恒久背道呢？他们守定诡诈，不肯回头。 (串)耶7:24|耶9:6|耶5:3

†[吕]这人民（传统多：耶路撒冷）为什么长久转离呢？他们执迷着诡诈，不肯转回。

†[思]为什么这人民一堕落，便永久堕落，执迷不悟而不肯反悔呢？

†[当代]为什么耶路撒冷这些子民仍然继续背叛离开我？他们坚持行诡诈的事，不肯悔改。

†[新译]这人民为什么背道，耶路撒冷为什么长久偏离？他们定意行诡诈，不肯回转。

†[Wlb]然则此耶路撒冷民、恒久悖逆何为乎、彼坚持诡谲、弗肯旋转、

†[Xdv]我的子民哪，你们为什么背叛到底，一去不还呢？你们紧抓着偶像，不肯回到我这里来。

†[Kjv]Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

†[Nkjv]Why has this people slidden back, Jerusalem, in a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit, They refuse to return.

†[BBE]Why do these people of Jerusalem go back, for ever turning away? they will not give up their deceit, they will not come back.

†[GNT] Why then, my people, do you turn away from me without ever turning back? You cling to your idols and refuse to return to me.

†[NIV]Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.

耶8:6 我留心听，听见他们说不正直的话。无人悔改恶行，说：我做的是什么呢？他们各人转奔己路，如马直闯战场。 (串)彼后3:9

†[吕]我留心听了又听，但人都说不对的话；没有人后悔自己的恶行，说：‘我作的是什么？’他们各人都转离而跑自己的路程，就像马在战场上横冲直撞。

†[思]我留心细听，他们都言谈不轨，没有一个人悔恨自己的邪恶说：“可怜！我做的是什么事？”反倒各自一再任性奔驰，有如冲入战场的战马。

†[当代]我听见他们都说不轨的话，没有人为他自己的恶行后悔，问他做的是什么事，反而各人奔驰己路，像战马在战场穿插一样。

†[新译]我留心听，但他们都不说真实的话。没有人为自己的恶行后悔，说：“我究竟作了什么？”他们各人继续走自己偏差的路，像战马直冲入战场。

†[Wlb]我倾耳以听、彼不言正直、无人悔其恶行、曰、噫、我所为何事、彼各行其道、若马之奔驰于陈、

†[Xdv]我细心地听，可是你们不说出心底话。没有人为自己的恶行忏悔；没有人自省：‘我究竟犯了什么错？’每一个人都一意孤行，好像战马朝着战场奔驰。

†[Kjv]I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

†[Nkjv]I listened and heard, But they do not speak aright. No man repented of his wickedness, Saying, "What have I done?' Everyone turned to his own course, As the horse rushes into the battle.

†[BBE]I took note and gave ear, but no one said what is right: no man had regret for his evil-doing, saying, What have I done? everyone goes off on his way like a horse rushing to the fight.

†[GNT] I listened carefully, but you did not speak the truth. Not one of you has been sorry for your wickedness; not one of you has asked, "What have I done wrong?' Each of you keep on going your own way, like a horse rushing into battle.

†[NIV]I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Each pursues his own course like a horse charging into battle.

本会注释　　这里用战马的狂热来比喻百姓疯狂地冲向厄运（见@伯39:19-25@注释）。

耶8:7 空中的鹳鸟知道来去的定期；斑鸠燕子与白鹤也守候当来的时令；我的百姓却不知道耶和华的法则。 (串)赛1:3|歌2:12|耶5:4,5

†[吕]连空中的鹳鸟也知道她来去的定期；斑鸠燕子与白鹤（意难确定）也守候当来的时令；我的人民却不知道永恒主的法则。

†[思]天空的鹤鸟也知道自己的时令；斑鸠、燕子和雁，都固守自己的归期；但是我的人民却不知道上主的法令。

†[当代]天空的鹳鸟尚且知道去留的时节，斑鸠、燕子和白鹤也懂得察看它们的归期；但我的子民却不认识主的律法。

†[新译]连空中的鹳鸟也知道自己来去的季候；斑鸠、燕子和白鹤也谨守迁移的时令；我的子民却不晓得耶和华的法则。

†[Wlb]空中之鹤、识厥定期、班鸠燕雁、咸依当来之时、惟我民不识耶和华之法律、

†[Xdv]唉！连鹳鸟都知道季候，定期飞回来；斑鸠、燕子、白鹤也都随季节迁移。但是我的子民哪，你们竟不懂得我的法则！

†[Kjv]Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

†[Nkjv]"Even the stork in the heavens Knows her appointed times; And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow Observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of the LORD.

†[BBE]Truly, the stork in the heavens is conscious of her fixed times; the dove and the swallow and the crane keep to the times of their coming; but my people have no knowledge of the law of the Lord.

†[GNT] Even storks know when it is time to return; doves, swallows, and thrushes know when it is time to migrate. But, my people, you do not know the laws by which I rule you.

†[NIV]Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the Lord .

怀爱伦注释　　鹳鸟的反应比人更快──燕子和鹳鸟都会观测所改变的时令，他们从这个地区移居到另个地区去找一适宜于它们便利与幸福的环境，好似上帝为他们所策划的，可是上帝的子民竟因设法满足自己的欲望而牺牲了生命和健康，他们愿望积累财富，而忘记了他们所拥有一切福气的赐给者，他们的健康被滥用了。他们由上帝所赐的力量被用来实施他们不洁而野心勃勃的事业，他们的日子由于决意追求错误的坏习惯和行为而充满了肉身痛苦和心神不宁，他们不明白因果定律，他们的无知竟牺牲了自己的健康、平安、和幸福。（1899.35号手稿）
本会注释　　鹳鸟。先知把候鸟忠实迁徙的本能，与人悖逆管束自己之律法的行为进行比较。巴勒斯坦是非洲北迁之鸟的必经之路。巴勒斯坦人都知道白色和黑色的鹳。在迁徙时，这些鸟从红海朝北飞越约旦谷，在巴勒斯坦停下来，沿着约旦河和加利利海捕捉水中的小动物为食。很少有其他鸟比它们更遵守迁徙的时间。
　　定期（mo`adim）。“指定的地点或时间”。
　　斑鸠。斑鸠的返回说明春天来了（歌2:12）。
　　燕子。这种鸟在非洲和欧洲之间迁徙的时候要经过巴勒斯坦。约旦河超过320公里的淡水使那里的昆虫大量滋生，大大超过地中海沿岸。

耶8:8 你们怎么说：我们有智慧，耶和华的律法在我们这里？看哪，文士的假笔舞弄虚假。 (串)罗2:17

†[吕]你们怎能说：‘我们有智慧，永恒主的指教在我们兜里’呢？其实、你看，经学士虚假之笔舞弄着虚假呢！

†[思]你怎么能说：我们是智者，我们有上主的法律？的确，但已为书记们以荒谬的笔锋把它编成了谎言。

†[当代]你们怎能说你们是有智慧、有主的律法的呢？你们看，律法教师的笔锋所流露的都是谎言。

†[新译]你们怎可以说：“我们是智慧人，我们有耶和华的律法”呢？事实上，经学家虚假的笔已把律法变成谎言了。

†[Wlb]尔曹奚曰、我乃智者、耶和华之法律在于我中、然文士虚伪之笔、使法律为虚伪、

†[Xdv]你们怎能自夸聪明、明白我的法律呢？其实，法律被诡诈的经学教师修改了。

†[Kjv]How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

†[Nkjv]"How can you say, "We are wise, And the law of the LORD is with us'? Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.

†[BBE]How is it that you say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false.

†[GNT] How can you say that you are wise and that you know my laws? Look, the laws have been changed by dishonest scribes.

†[NIV]How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord ," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?

怀爱伦注释　　见怀爱伦注释-|e太15:9|；|e太22:29|
　　拒绝真理以致产生今日的景况──罪的流行是惊人的，这世界如同挪亚的日子一样地上充满了强暴，如果那些自称是上帝子民的人能尊敬和顺从上帝的律法，这世界能以成为它现今的这景况吗？这就是人拒绝真理和藐视上帝的诫命，以致产生了现今所存在的一切情况，上帝的话语被假牧人搞得无效了，牧羊人既决意反对上帝的律法，就显明他们是弃绝上帝的话而将他们自己的话来代替衪的话，圣经论到他们说是将人的吩咐当作道理教导人，由于他们反抗真理，他们就怂恿恶人说“我们有智慧，耶和华的律法在我们这里”。基督对法利赛人说的话是正适宜于他们的，基督对这些教师说，你们对圣经和上帝的权能都是无知的……
　　今日我们这个世界的景况就正如先知所说的是将近世界历史的结束了。（1900.60号手稿）
本会注释　　你们怎么说？这句话显然特别针对祭司和假先知（见第10节；耶2:8；5:31）。他们自吹熟悉和享有律法，却不理睬上帝的要求。
　　文士的假笔舞弄虚假。假先知根本不接受耶利米的教训。他们自以为很聪明，是上帝所任命百姓的教师。祭司也藉者歪曲圣经的教训，把百姓引入歧途。

耶8:9 智慧人惭愧，惊惶，被擒拿；他们弃掉耶和华的话，心里还有什么智慧呢？ (串)耶6:15

†[吕]智慧人必狼狈，必惊慌，必被捉住；看哪，永恒主的话他们竟弃绝了，他们心里还有什么智慧呢？

†[思]智慧的人必要蒙羞惊慌，而至被捕；的确，他们既抛弃了上主话，还能有什么智慧？

†[当代]智慧人蒙羞辱，受惊恐，被捉拿，他们既弃掉主的话，哪里还有智慧可言呢？

†[新译]智慧人必蒙羞，惊惶失措。看哪！他们弃绝了耶和华的话，他们还有什么智慧呢？

†[Wlb]智者愧耻、惊惶而被执、彼既弃耶和华之言、其智维何、

†[Xdv]你们的聪明人蒙羞，惊惶失措。他们拒绝了我的话，还有什么智慧可言呢？

†[Kjv]The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

†[Nkjv]The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; So what wisdom do they have?

†[BBE]The wise men are shamed, they are overcome with fear and taken: see, they have given up the word of the Lord; and what use is their wisdom to them?

†[GNT] Your wise men are put to shame; they are confused and trapped. They have rejected my words; what wisdom do they have now?

†[NIV]The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the Lord , what kind of wisdom do they have?

本会注释　　有什么智慧？敬畏上帝是智慧的开端（箴1:7；9:10）。上帝的话是一切智慧的泉源（见申4:5,6；诗19:7；提后3:15）。但这些虚假的宗教领袖对上帝和上帝的话都不尊重。

耶8:10 所以我必将他们的妻子给别人，将他们的田地给别人为业；因为他们从最小的到至大的都一味地贪婪，从先知到祭司都行事虚谎。 (串)申28:30耶6:12摩5:11番1:13|赛56:11耶6:13

†[吕]因此我必将他们的妻子给别人，将他们的田地给那能拥为己业的；因为他们从最小的到至大的、都一味贪图不义之财；从神言人到祭司都行虚假。

†[思]为此，我必将他们的妻室交给外人，将他们的庄田交与别的地主，因为从最小的到最大的，都贪财图利；从先知到司祭，都欺诈行事，

†[当代]因此，我要把他们的妻子交给别人，把他们的田地转给别的地主；因为他们从最小到最大，各人都贪图利益；从先知到祭司，各人都行诡诈的事。

†[新译]因此，我必把他们的妻子给别人，把他们的田地给别的主人，因为他们从最小的到最大的，个个都贪图不义之财；从先知到祭司，全都行事诡诈。

†[Wlb]故我必以其妻室予他人、以其田畴付虏者、因其自尊逮卑、咸属贪婪、先知祭司、俱行虚诞、

†[Xdv]所以，我要把他们的妻子给别人，把田地也交给新主人。他们不论地位高低都贪图不义之财，连先知和祭司也都欺诈人民。

†[Kjv]Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

†[Nkjv]Therefore I will give their wives to others, And their fields to those who will inherit them; Because from the least even to the greatest Everyone is given to covetousness; From the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals falsely.

†[BBE]So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will take them for themselves: for everyone, from the least to the greatest, is given up to getting money; from the priest even to the prophet, everyone is false.

†[GNT] So I will give their fields to new owners and their wives to other men. Everyone, great and small, tries to make money dishonestly. Even prophets and priests cheat the people.

†[NIV]Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.

本会注释　　所以。这里所说惩罚及其原因的话（第10-12节），与@耶6:13-15@基本相同（见该处注释）。
　　为业。即归他们所有。

耶8:11 他们轻轻忽忽地医治我百姓的损伤，说：平安了！平安了！其实没有平安。 (串)耶6:14|结13:10

†[吕]他们轻轻忽忽地医治我子民（原文：我人民的女子）的破烂，说：‘平安了，平安了’；其实没有平安。

†[思]草率治疗我人民的疮痍说：“好了！好了！”其实却没有好。

†[当代]他们表面医治了我子民的损伤，说：平安了，没事了！但其实并没有平安。

†[新译]他们草率地医治我子民（“我子民”原文作“我子民的女子”）的损伤，说：“平安了！平安了！”其实没有平安。’

†[Wlb]彼医我民女之伤、略而为之、曰、平康平康、实无平康、

†[Xdv]他们看我子民的创伤为不足轻重。他们说：‘没有问题，没有问题，’其实问题严重。

†[Kjv]For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

†[Nkjv]For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, "Peace, peace!' When there is no peace.

†[BBE]And they have made little of the wounds of the daughter of Zion, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

†[GNT] They act as if my people's wounds were only scratches. "All is well,' they say, when all is not well.

†[NIV]They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace.

耶8:12 他们行可憎的事知道惭愧吗？不然，他们毫不惭愧，也不知羞耻。因此他们必在仆倒的人中仆倒；我向他们讨罪的时候，他们必致跌倒。这是耶和华说的。 (串)耶3:3;6:15

†[吕]他们行了可厌恶的事、觉得惭愧么？不，他们一点也不惭愧，也不知羞耻；因此他们必在仆倒的人中间仆倒；我察罚他们时、他们必致倾覆：这是永恒主说的。

†[思]他们既行事可憎，就理当知耻；可是，他们不但不知耻，反而连羞愧也不知是什么；为此，他们要与倒毙者倒毙，在我降罚他们时，都要一蹶不振──上主说。

†[当代]他们会因为做了可憎的事而羞愧吗？不会。他们根本不知廉耻；因此，他们要与倒毙的人一同倒下，在我施行惩治的时候，他们必被毁灭。’

†[新译]耶和华说：‘他们行了可憎的事，本应觉得羞愧，可是他们一点羞愧都没有，恬不知耻。因此他们必仆倒在倒下的人中间；我惩罚他们的时候，他们必倒下来。

†[Wlb]彼行可恶之事、岂知耻乎、非也、毫不知耻、亦不赧颜、故必仆于仆者之中、我谴责之际、彼必颠踬、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]他们做了这可恶的事理当知耻，可是他们不知耻，不脸红。所以，他们要跟别人一样跌倒。我惩罚他们的时候，他们就一蹶不振。我是上主；我这样宣布了。

†[Kjv]Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; In the time of their punishment They shall be cast down," says the LORD.

†[BBE]Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: in the time of their punishment they will be made low, says the Lord.

†[GNT] My people, were you ashamed because you did these disgusting things? No, you were not ashamed at all; you don't even know how to blush! And so you will fall as others have fallen; when I punish you, that will be the end of you. I, the Lord, have spoken.

†[NIV]Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the Lord .

本会注释　　见@耶6:15@注释。

耶8:13 耶和华说：我必使他们全然灭绝；葡萄树上必没有葡萄，无花果树上必没有果子，叶子也必枯干。我所赐给他们的，必离开他们过去。 (串)赛5:1珥1:7|太21:19路13:6

†[吕]永恒主发神谕说：我必澈底收拾他们；葡萄树上都没有葡萄；无花果树上都没有无花果；叶子全都凋残；我所赐给他们的都离开他们而过去了（意难确定）。”

†[思]我要彻底消灭他们──上主的断语──葡萄树上没有葡萄，无花果树上没有无花果，树叶都已凋零；我要派人来蹂。

†[当代]我要彻底灭绝他们，葡萄树没有葡萄，无花果树没有无花果，树叶也要枯干；我所赐给他们的，都要消失。”

†[新译]我要彻底除掉他们的庄稼；葡萄树上必没有葡萄，无花果树上必没有无花果，叶子也必枯干。我赐给他们的，都离开他们过去了。’”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我必歼灭之、其葡萄树无葡萄、无花果树无无花果、厥叶变色、蹂躏之者、我已命之、

†[Xdv]“我要结集我的子民，像收获农作物。但他们像葡萄树不结葡萄，像无花果树不结果实，连叶子都枯干了。所以，我容许外国人来占据他们的土地。”

†[Kjv]I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

†[Nkjv]"I will surely consume them," says the LORD. "No grapes shall be on the vine, Nor figs on the fig tree, And the leaf shall fade; And the things I have given them shall pass away from them.""'

†[BBE]I will put an end to them completely, says the Lord: there are no grapes on the vine and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is dry.

†[GNT] "I wanted to gather my people, as a farmer gathers a harvest; but they are like a vine with no grapes, like a fig tree with no figs; even the leaves have withered. Therefore, I have allowed outsiders to take over the land."

†[NIV]I will take away their harvest, declares the Lord . There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them. ' "

本会注释　　必使他们全然灭绝。这句话意义含糊，可能源于希伯来语'asaph（“聚集”）。从而译成“我必聚集他们。”七十士译本为：“他们将聚在一起。”参番1:2,3。据认为“我必使他们全然灭绝”，是假定动词的词根是suph，而不是'asaph。
　　没有葡萄。有人认为这是庄稼歉收和食物缺乏的警告。其实它更可能是比喻一个民族。上帝的子民已退化成为不结果子的葡萄树，无花果树，和枯干的树枝（见赛5:2；耶2:21；太21:19；路13:7-9）。
　　叶子。把耶17:8与诗1:3义人的画面进行对照。
　　必离开他们过去。这句话的原文含义不明。七十士译本没有这句话。不清楚“赐给他们的”与“离开他们过去”这二者之间的联系。

耶8:14 我们为何静坐不动呢？我们当聚集，进入坚固城，在那里静默不言；因为耶和华我们的上帝使我们静默不言，又将苦胆水给我们喝，都因我们得罪了耶和华。 (串)耶4:5|耶9:15;23:15

†[吕]我们为什么静坐不动呢？聚集拢来哦，我们好进入有堡垒的城，在那里寂灭掉；因为永恒主我们的上帝命定我们寂灭，将毒苦水给我们喝，因为我们犯罪得罪了永恒主。

†[思]为什么我们还坐着？集合起来吧！让我们进入坚城，死在那，因为上主我们的天主要消灭我们，要我们喝苦胆，因为我们得罪了上主。

†[当代]我们为什么还静坐不动呢？聚集起来吧！让我们进入坚固的城邑，死在那里，因为主我们的上帝要毁灭我们，把苦胆水给我们喝，因我们得罪了祂。

†[新译]我们为什么坐着不动呢？你们要集合起来，我们要进入坚固的城里去，在那里灭亡吧！因为耶和华我们的　神要我们灭亡，又把毒水给我们喝，因我们得罪了耶和华。

†[Wlb]我侪静坐何为乎、其会集而入巩固之邑、陨亡于彼、我上帝耶和华饮我以毒水、使我陨亡、缘我干犯耶和华也、

†[Xdv]上帝的子民问：“我们为什么还坐着不动呢？起来，跑进设防的城，就死在那里吧！上主──我们的上帝已经定我们死罪。他给我们毒水喝，因为我们得罪了他。

†[Kjv]Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.

†[Nkjv]"Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, And let us enter the fortified cities, And let us be silent there. For the LORD our God has put us to silence And given us water of gall to drink, Because we have sinned against the LORD.

†[BBE]Why are we seated doing nothing? come together, and let us go to the walled towns, and let destruction overtake us there, for the Lord our God has sent destruction on us, and given us bitter water for our drink, because we have done evil against the Lord.

†[GNT] "Why are we sitting still?" God's people ask. "Come on, we will run to the fortified cities and die there. The Lord our God has condemned us to die; he has given us poison to drink, because we have sinned against him.

†[NIV]Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there! For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.

本会注释　　我们为何静坐不动呢？先知形象地说出了恐惧的百姓彼此间所说的话。
　　苦胆（ro'sh）。一种苦而有毒的植物（见申29:18；32:32；诗69:21），可能是毒芹，药西瓜，罂粟或龙葵。

耶8:15 我们指望平安，却得不着好处；指望痊愈的时候，不料，受了惊惶。 (串)耶14:19

†[吕]我们指望着平安，好处却不来；指望得医治时，唉，反而受了惊吓！

†[思]我们原期待和平，却不见好转；原期待复兴的时机，反而只见恐怖！

†[当代]我们期待平安，但总没有起色；等候医治的时刻，不料，反遭受惊恐。

†[新译]我们期待平安，却得不到好处；期待得医治的时候，不料，只有惊慌。

†[Wlb]我望平康、未得裨益、我期医治、而受恐惶、

†[Xdv]我们期待和平，希望得到医治，却没有效果，反而饱受惊慌。

†[Kjv]We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

†[Nkjv]"We looked for peace, but no good came; And for a time of health, and there was trouble!

†[BBE]We were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there is only a great fear.

†[GNT] We hoped for peace and a time of healing, but it was no use; terror came instead.

†[NIV]We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.

本会注释　　平安。见@耶6:14@注释。
　　痊愈。或“治疗”。
　　惊惶（be`athah）。“恐怖”或“沮丧”（见耶14:19）。

耶8:16 听见从但那里敌人的马喷鼻气，他的壮马发嘶声，全地就都震动；因为他们来吞灭这地和其上所有的，吞灭这城与其中的居民。 (串)耶4:15|士5:22耶47:3

†[吕]“从但那里听到敌人（原文：他）的马的喷鼻气，他们雄壮的马的嘶鸣声，全国尽都震动；因为他们来吞灭这地、和境内所有的，吞灭这城和其中的居民。

†[思]从丹就可听到敌人战马的喘息声，战马嘶鸣，声震全地；前来并吞土地和地上的一切，吞食城邑和城中的居民。

†[当代]从但传来敌人战马的喘气声；它们的嘶声，使全地震栗；它们蜂拥而来，吞灭这地一切的城邑和居民。

†[新译]从但那里听见敌人战马的喷气声，全地因听见壮马的嘶鸣声震动。他们来是要吞灭土地和地上所有的，要吞灭城和城中的居民。

†[Wlb]敌马喷气、闻自但境、健马嘶鸣、震动全地、彼众已至、吞灭土壤、暨其所有、吞灭城邑、及厥居民、

†[Xdv]敌人已经到了但，我们听得见战马在喷气。战马嘶鸣，大地震动。敌人要来摧毁我们的土地和地上的一切；他们要来消灭我们的城镇和居民。”

†[Kjv]The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.

†[Nkjv]The snorting of His horses was heard from Dan. The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His strong ones; For they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it, The city and those who dwell in it."

†[BBE]The loud breathing of the horses comes to our ears from Dan: at the sound of the outcry of his war-horses, all the land is shaking with fear; for they have come, and have made a meal of the land and everything in it; the town and the people living in it.

†[GNT] Our enemies are already in the city of Dan; we hear the snorting of their horses. The whole land trembles when their horses neigh. Our enemies have come to destroy our land and everything in it, our city and all its people."

†[NIV]The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there."

本会注释　　喷鼻气。先知形象的描写述北方侵略者的来到，以及他们所带来的恐怖。
　　但。位于巴勒斯坦的北部边境（见@耶4:15@注释）。
　　壮马。这里指战马（见耶47:3）。
　　来。这里生动地把将来的事情描写成已经发生的。
　　其上所有的。直译是“其中充满的”。

耶8:17 看哪，我必使毒蛇到你们中间，是不服法术的，必咬你们。这是耶和华说的。 (串)诗58:4,5传10:11

†[吕]因为你看吧，我必打发蛇、毒蛇、到你们中间，就是不服咒语法术的；他们必咬你们”；永恒主发神谕说。

†[思]看，我必给你们派来不伯符咒的毒蛇，咬伤你们──上主的断语──

†[当代]“看哪，我要派毒蛇咬你们，它们是不会被符咒所服的。”这是主说的。

†[新译]“看哪！我要打发毒蛇到你们中间，是没有法术能制伏的，它们必咬你们。”这是耶和华的宣告。

†[Wlb]耶和华曰、我必遣蛇入尔中、无术可制之、蝮必啮尔、

†[Xdv]上主警告他的子民，说：“看哪，我要把毒蛇放在你们中间，用符咒也不能驱走它们；它们要咬伤你们。”

†[Kjv]For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

†[Nkjv]"For behold, I will send serpents among you, Vipers which cannot be charmed, And they shall bite you," says the LORD.

†[BBE]See, I will send snakes and poison-snakes among you, against which the wonder-worker has no power; and they will give you wounds which may not be made well, says the Lord.

†[GNT] "Watch out!" the Lord says, "I am sending snakes among you, poisonous snakes that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you."

†[NIV]See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you," declares the Lord .

本会注释　　毒蛇（siph`onim）。不知是哪一种蛇，但肯定是有毒的。七十士译本为“致命的蛇”，而不是“毒蛇”。
　　服法术。耍蛇的历史十分悠久（见@出7:11@注释）。如今这种法术依然存在，特别是在印度和埃及。据说有些蛇是不服法术的（见诗58:4,5；见@传10:11@注释）。先知用这种蛇来比喻侵略者的无情本性。任何策略都无法平息敌人的愤怒。

耶8:18 我有忧愁，愿能自慰；我心在我里面发昏。

†[吕]我的愁苦无法医治（传统：我的喜色在愁苦中）；我的心使我发晕。

†[思]无法疗愈。

†[当代]我的忧戚未得医治，我的心在我里面烦躁。

†[新译]我的愁苦无法医治（本句按照《马索拉抄本》意思难确定；现参照《七十士译本》翻译），我的心在我里面悲痛欲绝。

†[Wlb]深愿得慰、免我忧戚、我心疲惫、

†[Xdv]我悲伤不已；我心愁烦。

†[Kjv]When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

†[Nkjv]I would comfort myself in sorrow; My heart is faint in me.

†[BBE]Sorrow has come on me! my heart in me is feeble.

†[GNT] My sorrow cannot be healed; I am sick at heart.

†[NIV]O my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.

本会注释　　本节前半部分的原文含义不明。但显然先知对他民族的绝望状况十分伤心。耶利米在本章结束时倾诉了自己因民族灾难的迫近而产生的痛苦心情。

耶8:19 听啊，是我百姓的哀声从极远之地而来，说：耶和华不在锡安吗？锡安的王不在其中吗？耶和华说：他们为什么以雕刻的偶像和外邦虚无的神惹我发怒呢？ (串)赛39:3|申32:1赛1:4

†[吕]听阿，我子民（原文：我人民的女子）的呼救声，从辽阔之地而来，说：“永恒主不在锡安么？锡安的王不在其中么？”永恒主说：“他们为什么以他们的雕像、外人虚无的神、来惹我发怒呢？”

†[思]由远方传来我的女儿──人民──哀号的呼声：“上主已不在熙雍？或者她的君王已不在那吗？──为什么他们以自己的偶像和外邦的“虚无”激怒我？──

†[当代]听听！远处传来我子民颤抖的喊声：“主不在锡安吗？君王不在那里吗？”“为什么他们还敬奉雕制的神像和外族的神只，触动我的怒气呢？”

†[新译]听啊！我同胞（“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”）的呼救声，从遥远之地传来：“耶和华不在锡安吗？锡安的王不在其中吗？”“他们为什么以自己雕刻的偶像，和列国虚无的偶像，来惹我发怒呢？”

†[Wlb]有我民女哀号之声、来自远方、曰、耶和华不在锡安乎、厥王不在其中乎、曰、彼胡为以雕像、及异邦之虚物、激我怒耶、

†[Xdv]我到处听见同胞哀鸣：上主不在锡安了吗？锡安的王不在城里吗？上主──他们的君王回答：你们为什么拜偶像？为什么拜虚无的外国神明，激怒了我？

†[Kjv]Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

†[Nkjv]Listen! The voice, The cry of the daughter of my people From a far country: "Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?" "Why have they provoked Me to anger With their carved images-- With foreign idols?"

†[BBE]The voice of the cry of the daughter of my people comes from a far land: Is the Lord not in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they made me angry with their images and their strange gods which are no gods?

†[GNT] Listen! Throughout the land I hear my people crying out, "Is the Lord no longer in Zion? Is Zion's king no longer there?" The Lord, their king, replies, "Why have you made me angry by worshiping your idols and by bowing down to your useless foreign gods?

†[NIV]Listen to the cry of my people from a land far away: "Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King no longer there?" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their worthless foreign idols?"

本会注释　　为什么？上帝用反问句来作为答复。百姓为什么要坚持拜偶像？他们的苦难不是因为上帝的失信，而是因他们背叛了自己的大君。
　　外邦虚无的神。这些外邦偶像所代表的神根本不存在（见申32:21；王上16:13,26；耶14:22；诗31:6）。犹大的百姓选择侍奉外邦的神，所以耶和华把他们赶到外国去。

耶8:20 麦秋已过，夏令已完，我们还未得救！

†[吕]收割时候已过，夏天日子已尽，我们呢、还未得救助！”

†[思]收割期已经过去，夏天已经完结，我们仍没有获救！”

†[当代]“收割的季节已过，夏日已近尾声了，然而我们还未获救。”

†[新译]“收割期已过，夏天也结束；但我们仍未获救。”

†[Wlb]穑时既逝、夏日已过、我侪犹未获救、

†[Xdv]人民呼号：夏天过去了，收成结束了，我们仍然没有得救！

†[Kjv]The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

†[Nkjv]"The harvest is past, The summer is ended, And we are not saved!"

†[BBE]The grain-cutting is past, the summer is ended, and no salvation has come to us.

†[GNT] The people cry out, "The summer is gone, the harvest is over, but we have not been saved."

†[NIV]The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved."

本会注释　　有人认为本节是被掳者进一步的倾诉，也有认为是先知继续哀叹他同胞的厄运。不管怎样，它都是因失败而悲叹。巴勒斯坦的庄稼大约是四月开始收获的。水果是收获约在八月或九月。如果庄稼歉收，仍有希望收获葡萄，无花果和橄榄等。但犹大已错过了水果收获的季节，失去了得救的最后机会。她的厄运是不可避免的了。
　　世界末日的夏天很快就会来临。最后的庄稼即将收获。接着成千上万如今过着自满生活的人，将再次发出这种绝望的哀鸣（见《证言》卷七第16页）。

耶8:21 先知说：因我百姓的损伤，我也受了损伤。我哀痛，惊惶将我抓住。 (串)耶4:19;9:1;14:17

†[吕]神言人说：“为了我子民（原文：我人民的女子）的破烂、我的心都破碎了；我悲伤哀悼，惊骇将我抓住。

†[思]我的女儿──人民──的创伤使我心痛欲裂，郁郁不安，不胜感伤。

†[当代]我因我子民的创伤，伤心欲绝；我哀痛，惊惶失措。

†[新译]因着我的同胞（“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”）被压碎，我的心破碎了；我悲伤痛哭，惊慌抓住了我。

†[Wlb]我民女受伤、我因之受伤、我乃哀恸、中怀惊骇、

†[Xdv]同胞的创伤使我心碎；我悲痛万分，惊忧不已。

†[Kjv]For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

†[Nkjv]For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt. I am mourning; Astonishment has taken hold of me.

†[BBE]For the destruction of the daughter of my people I am broken: I am dressed in the clothing of grief; fear has taken me in its grip.

†[GNT] My heart has been crushed because my people are crushed; I mourn; I am completely dismayed.

†[NIV]Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn, and horror grips me.

本会注释　　因我百姓的损伤。“损伤”可理解为 “忧伤”（见耶23:9）。一想到同胞将遭灭顶之灾，耶利米的心都碎了。
　　我哀痛。见@耶4:28@注释。先知表示悲伤（见诗38:6；诗42:9）。
　　惊惶（shammah）。“一件可怕的事”（见@耶5:30@注释）。

耶8:22 在基列岂没有乳香呢？在那里岂没有医生呢？我百姓为何不得痊愈呢？ (串)创37:25;43:11耶46:11

†[吕]在基列难道没有止痛乳香？那里难道没有医生么？我子民（原文：我人民的女子）的新肉为什么总不长呢？

†[思]难道在基肋阿得没有膏药，或在那没有医生吗？究竟为了什么，我的女儿──人民──的创伤还没有痊愈？

†[当代]难道在基列没有药物没有医生吗？为什么我子民的损伤至今还未痊愈呢？

†[新译]难道基列没有乳香吗？难道那里没有医生吗？我的同胞（“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”）为什么总不痊愈呢？

†[Wlb]在基列岂无乳香、岂无医士、我民女之疾、胡不得瘳耶、

†[Xdv]难道基列没有膏药吗？难道那里没有医生吗？为什么我的同胞没得到医治呢？

†[Kjv]Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

†[Nkjv]Is there no balm in Gilead, Is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery For the health of the daughter of my people?

†[BBE]Is there no life-giving oil in Gilead? is there no expert in medical arts? why then have my people not been made well?

†[GNT] Is there no medicine in Gilead? Are there no doctors there? Why, then, have my people not been healed?

†[NIV]Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?

怀爱伦注释　　见怀爱伦注释-|e出15:23-25|
本会注释　　乳香。一种芬芳性树脂，因其疗效而珍贵（见耶46:11；51:8）。它提自约旦河东山区的一种常青开花的小树。在旧约时代，这是出口产品（见创37:25；结27:17）。难道没有乳香可以治疗以色列属灵的疾病？有没有可以治疗她的医师呢？所暗示的答案是“有的。”如果百姓听从先知所传达的信息，就会得痊愈。
　　罪病是有疗治之方的。罪恶虽然严重，但人类的“医师”医术更加高明。
　　为何？百姓未能痊愈，不是因为缺乏治疗的手段，而是因这个民族拒绝接近那“大医师”。也许百姓没有感觉到自己的需要。也许他们太骄傲而不愿意接受治疗，以为自己能够医好自己。也许他们爱上了那种疾病。反正他们不肯向那“医师”求助而存活。
　　痊愈（'arukah）。“治疗”，与第15节的“痊愈”不是同一个词。'arukah 指伤口长出新肉。
　　我百姓。KJV版为“我百姓的女儿”。这是一个希伯来的习语，暗示过去的希伯来民族是“母亲”，现在的世代是“女儿”。
