旧约 - 何西阿书(Hosea)第5章

Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
何西阿书第五章   第 5 章 

  何 5:1-2> 以色列人选择跟从他们的领袖而泥足深陷;我看我今天所作的选择,是…… 

  5:1 -2 米 斯巴和他泊是敬拜假神巴力的主要地点,领袖甚至教唆百姓在这些地方犯罪。朝野腐败堕落令人失望,以色列的百姓可说是没什么指望了。他们仰望领袖引导时应有此发现。今日,我们常可选择自己的领导人,但仍须注意他们 是在带领我们接近还是远离神。神要求人为自己所做的事负责,同样,祂也要我们为自己的行为和抉择负责。 

  何 5:4> 人会对罪感到麻木!?我…… 

  5:4 持续不断地犯罪使人心变得刚硬、不易悔改。故意选择跟神对抗使人的良心麻木,犯了一次罪,下次就更易再犯。要尽量远离罪恶的行为,避免让它在你里面留下轨迹。 

  何 5:8> 吹号,带来的信息是…… 

  5:8 基比亚和拉玛是离耶路撒冷不远的以色列的城。何西阿预言这两座城将要吹响审判将至的警号。 

  何 5:10> 犹大为何惹得神发怒? 

  5:10 移动地界是严重的罪行(参申 27:17 )。何西阿在这里指责犹大首领如同那些移动界石来欺骗百姓的人(参申 19:14 )。 

  何 5:13> 神的旨意,我能改变吗?我…… 

  5:13 在米拿现和何细亚统治年间,以色列向亚述求助(参王下 15:19-20 ; 17:3-4 )。但即使是当时的世界强国也不能帮以色列的忙,因为神已决意要审判这个国家。如果我们轻视神对我们发出的悔罪的呼召,又怎能逃过祂的审判呢?(参来 2:3 )──《灵修版圣经注释》
