英語原文
Eze 24:1-27.
VISION OF THE BOILING CALDRON, AND OF THE DEATH OF EZEKIEL'S WIFE.
1, 2. Ezekiel proves his divine mission by announcing the very day, ("this same day") of the beginning of the investment of the city by Nebuchadnezzar; "the ninth year," namely, of Jehoiachin's captivity, "the tenth day of the tenth month"; though he was three hundred miles away from Jerusalem among the captives at the Chebar
(2Ki 25:1; Jer 39:1).

3. 锅——即铜锅。暗指百姓中间所用的自夸谚语，
Eze 11:3（
见 Eze 11:3
的讲解），“这城是锅，我们是肉”；你们的谚语将以可怕的方式应验，只是与你们所想的意义不同。这城不仅不会成为抵挡火的铁锅般的防御，反而要如置于火上的锅，百姓则如许多块肉，遭受滚沸的煎熬。见
Jer 1:13。
英語原文
3. pot--caldron. Alluding to the self-confident proverb used among the people,
Eze 11:3
(see on
Eze 11:3),
"This city is the caldron and we be the flesh"; your proverb shall prove awfully true, but in a different sense from what you intend. So far from the city proving an iron, caldron-like defense from the fire, it shall be as a caldron set on the fire, and the people as so many pieces of meat subjected to boiling heat. See
Jer 1:13.

4. 肉块——指本属于它、作为它自己的那些。
上好的肉块……精选的骨头——即百姓中最杰出的人。锅中的“精选骨头”上有肉连着。锅底的骨头
(Eze 24:5)
则是无肉的，用作燃料，对应那最先受苦的穷人，他们比那些对应慢火熬煮过程的富人更早脱离痛苦。
英語原文
4. pieces thereof--those which properly belong to it, as its own.
every good piece . . . choice bones--that is, the most distinguished of the people. The "choice bones" in the pot have flesh adhering to them. The bones under the pot
(Eze 24:5)
are those having no flesh and used as fuel, answering to the poorest who suffer first, and are put out of pain sooner than the rich who endure what answers to the slower process of boiling.

5. 烧……骨头——更恰当的译法是“堆聚骨头”。字面作“让骨头堆成圆堆”。
其中——字面作“在它中间”。
英語原文
5. burn . . . bones--rather, "pile the bones." Literally, "Let there be a round pile of the bones."
therein--literally, "in the midst of it."

6. 锈（scum）——不是寻常的锈，而是有毒的锈，即百姓那无所不在的恶。
将它一块一块地从其中取出来——“它”指锅中的内容，即其中的肉；也就是说，“我要毁灭这城的百姓，不是一时之间，而是借着接连不断的攻击逐一除灭。”并非如 FAIRBAIRN 所说：“在它每一块上，任这锈（毒锈）发出”。
不必为它拈阄——即不必如有时所行的那样拈阄，以决定谁该灭谁该存
(2Sa 8:2; Joe 3:3; Ob 11; Na 3:10)。
从前掳走俘虏时，都要拈阄决定谁去谁留，如今却一律被逐出，不分尊卑、老幼、男女。
英語原文
6. scum--not ordinary, but poisonous scum, that is, the people's all-pervading wickedness.
bring it out piece by piece--"it," the contents of the pot; its flesh, that is, "I will destroy the people of the city, not all at the same time, but by a series of successive attacks." Not as FAIRBAIRN, "on its every piece let it (the poisonous scum) go forth."
let no lot fall upon it--that is, no lot, such as is sometimes cast, to decide who are to be destroyed and who saved
(2Sa 8:2; Joe 3:3; Ob 11; Na 3:10).
In former carryings away of captives, lots were cast to settle who were to go, and who to stay, but now all alike are to be cast out without distinction of rank, age, or sex.

7. 在磐石顶上——即“干燥、光秃、暴露的磐石”，使众人都能看见。泼在磐石上的血不像泼在泥土上那样易于被吸收。律法甚至吩咐牲畜或飞鸟的血也要“用土掩盖”
(Le 17:13)；
但耶路撒冷竟无耻到不愿费心掩盖她所杀无辜之人的血。血作为一切罪恶的总和，已预设了其他各种罪愆。
英語原文
7. upon the top of a rock--or, "the dry, bare, exposed rock," so as to be conspicuous to all. Blood poured on a rock is not so soon absorbed as blood poured on the earth. The law ordered the blood even of a beast or fowl to be "covered with the dust"
(Le 17:13);
but Jerusalem was so shameless as to be at no pains to cover up the blood of innocent men slain in her. Blood, as the consummation of all sin, presupposes every other form of guilt.

8. 为要使——神故意任她如此无耻地将血倾在光秃的磐石上，“为要使”它更响亮、更公开地从天上呼求报应；也使罪与罚之间的关联更加明显。Abel 的血虽被地所接受，仍向天呼求报应
(Ge 4:10, 11)；
何况无耻地暴露在光秃磐石上的血。
流她的血——她必按同类受报
(Mt 7:2)。
她公开流人的血，她的血也必公开被流。
英語原文
8. That it might cause--God purposely let her so shamelessly pour the blood on the bare rock, "that it might" the more loudly and openly cry for vengeance from on high; and that the connection between the guilt and the punishment might be the more palpable. The blood of Abel, though the ground received it, still cries to heaven for vengeance
(Ge 4:10, 11);
much more blood shamelessly exposed on the bare rock.
set her blood--She shall be paid back in kind
(Mt 7:2).
She openly shed blood, and her blood shall openly be shed.

10. 加上香料——使肉更可口，即我要使仇敌在其毁灭中喜悦，如同人享受调味得宜的美味。GROTIUS 不必要地偏离明显的意思，译作“让它熬成一团”。
英語原文
10. spice it well--that the meat may be the more palatable, that is, I will make the foe delight in its destruction as much as one delights in well-seasoned, savory meat. GROTIUS, needlessly departing from the obvious sense, translates, "Let it be boiled down to a compound."

11. 把锅倒空……使……铜……发热，……使……锈……熔化——即使其中的内容耗尽仍不够；那被毒锈所染的锅本身也必毁灭，即城本身要被毁，不仅仅是其中的居民，正如长了大麻风的房屋本身也要被拆毁
(Le 14:34-45)。
英語原文
11. set it empty . . . that . . . brass . . . may burn, . . . that . . . scum . . . may be consumed--Even the consumption of the contents is not enough; the caldron itself which is infected by the poisonous scum must be destroyed, that is, the city itself must be destroyed, not merely the inhabitants, just as the very house infected with leprosy was to be destroyed
(Le 14:34-45).

12. 自己——更作“她用谎言使我厌烦”；或更作“用我方面徒然的劳苦”，即我欲洁净她而不必诉诸审判，却徒然费力（比较

[MAURER]。然而*英文译本（English Version）*也通（比较
Isa 47:13; 57:10)。

12. herself--rather, "she hath wearied Me out with lies"; or rather, "with vain labors" on My part to purify her without being obliged to have recourse to judgments (compare
Isa 43:24; Mal 2:17)
[MAURER]. However, English Version gives a good sense (compare
Isa 47:13; 57:10).

13. 淫行——蓄意、故意的恶；源自*希伯来文（Hebrew）*词根“意图”。
我洁净你——即凡有助于洁净你的，我无一留下未试：我差遣先知召你悔改，赐你律法及其一切应许、特权与威吓。
你必不再……被洁净——即不再借我恩典的干预；你要被交在自己的路上，任其取其致命的后果。
英語原文
13. lewdness--determined, deliberate wickedness; from a Hebrew root, "to purpose."
I have purged thee--that is, I have left nothing untried which would tend towards purging thee, by sending prophets to invite thee to repentance, by giving thee the law with all its promises, privileges, and threats.
thou shalt not be purged . . . any more--that is, by My gracious interpositions; thou shalt be left to thine own course to take its fatal consequences.

16. 眼目所喜爱的——指他的妻子：象征圣所
(Eze 24:21)，
犹太人曾在此上极以为荣。以西结一生对其先知职事的投入与顺服，在他妻子去世的这段叙述中彰显无遗。这是他所记录的个人生平中唯一可记的事件，且仅因其关乎他那全然投入的工作而记下。他天然的情感温柔，可由那生动的笔触——“你眼目所喜爱的”——看出。故此，在
(Eze 24:18)
“于是我在早晨传讲……到了晚上我的妻子就死了；次日早晨我便照所吩咐的去行”这简短的记述中所显出、将个人情感完全降服于先知职责之下的，是何等惊人的顺服。
击打——突来的灾祸。这事之突兀更凸显了以西结的自制，使他在如此严酷的处境下原本必格外敏锐的个人情感，全然融于对神之职责那更高的要求之中。
英語原文
16. desire of . . . eyes--his wife: representing the sanctuary
(Eze 24:21)
in which the Jews so much gloried. The energy and subordination of Ezekiel's whole life to his prophetic office is strikingly displayed in this narrative of his wife's death. It is the only memorable event of his personal history which he records, and this only in reference to his soul-absorbing work. His natural tenderness is shown by that graphic touch, "the desire of thine eyes." What amazing subjection, then, of his individual feeling to his prophetic duty is manifested in the simple statement
(Eze 24:18),
"So I spake . . . in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded."
stroke--a sudden visitation. The suddenness of it enhances the self-control of Ezekiel in so entirely merging individual feeling, which must have been especially acute under such trying circumstances, in the higher claims of duty to God.

17. 不可出声——或作“静默哀叹”；并非禁止忧伤，而是禁止其大声表露 [GROTIUS]。
不可行吊丧之礼——这预表耶路撒冷灾祸的普世性，灾祸之广将使惯常的哀吊成为不可能，因为哀吊只在灾祸局部时才行得通。“死人”在此特用复数，最终乃指耶路撒冷被攻取时将要灭亡的死者；尽管此处既以以西结之妻为直接的所指，本可预期用单数：“不要为死人行惯常的哀悼之礼，将来在耶路撒冷也必如此”
(Jer 16:5-7)。
头上的头巾——你的头饰 [FAIRBAIRN]。 耶柔米（JEROME）解释说：“你要保留在哀悼时通常剪去的头发。”缠在两鬓如冠冕般的束发带，在这种时候是要除下的。祭司以蒙头为哀悼的常礼；而一般人则以蒙头为哀悼之礼
(2Sa 15:30)。
其原因是，祭司所戴细麻布捻成的头巾乃为装饰，也是职任的记号而赐给他们的。大祭司因头上有圣膏油，任何情形下都不可除去头巾。但祭司在至亲去世时可以如此行
(Le 21:2, 3, 10)。
那时他们换上较次的衣裳，又在头上撒上灰尘（比较
Le 10:6, 7)。
鞋穿在脚上——而哀悼者乃“赤脚”而行
(2Sa 15:30)。
不可蒙着……嘴唇——更宜作“上唇”，连着髭
(Le 13:45; Mic 3:7)。
别人（人）的饼——即友人通常带给哀悼者以表同情的饼。正如所带来的“安慰之杯”
(Jer 16:7)。
“别人的（人的）”意指人所通常供应的。如
Isa 8:1，
“人的笔”；
Re 21:17，
“人的尺寸”。
英語原文
17. Forbear to cry--or, "Lament in silence"; not forbidding sorrow, but the loud expression of it [GROTIUS].
no mourning--typical of the universality of the ruin of Jerusalem, which would preclude mourning, such as is usual where calamity is but partial. "The dead" is purposely put in the plural, as referring ultimately to the dead who should perish at the taking of Jerusalem; though the singular might have been expected, as Ezekiel's wife was the immediate subject referred to: "make no mourning," such as is usual, "for the dead, and such as shall be hereafter in Jerusalem"
(Jer 16:5-7).
tire of thine head--thy headdress [FAIRBAIRN]. JEROME explains, "Thou shalt retain the hair which is usually cut in mourning." The fillet, binding the hair about the temples like a chaplet, was laid aside at such times. Uncovering the head was an ordinary sign of mourning in priests; whereas others covered their heads in mourning
(2Sa 15:30).
The reason was, the priests had their headdress of fine twined linen given them for ornament, and as a badge of office. The high priest, as having on his head the holy anointing oil, was forbidden in any case to lay aside his headdress. But the priests might do so in the case of the death of the nearest relatives
(Le 21:2, 3, 10).
They then put on inferior attire, sprinkling also on their heads dust and ashes (compare
Le 10:6, 7).
shoes upon thy feet--whereas mourners went "barefoot"
(2Sa 15:30).
cover not . . . lips--rather, the "upper lip," with the moustache
(Le 13:45; Mic 3:7).
bread of men--the bread usually brought to mourners by friends in token of sympathy. So the "cup of consolation" brought
(Jer 16:7).
"Of men" means such as is usually furnished by men. So
Isa 8:1,
"a man's pen";
Re 21:17,
"the measure of a man."

以西结之妻的预表

23. 你们不得哀恸……却要因自己的罪孽消灭——犹太人之不哀悼，并非因麻木不仁，正如以西结之不为其妻哀悼并非因无感。他们在被掳中不能公开表露哀悼，却要私下“彼此哀悼”。那时他们的“罪孽”将成为他们最大的忧愁（“消磨殆尽”），因为他们感觉这些正是他们受苦的原因（比较
Le 26:39; La 3:39)。 最完全的应验仍属将来

英語原文
23. ye shall not mourn . . . but . . . pine away for your iniquities--The Jews' not mourning was to be not the result of insensibility, any more than Ezekiel's not mourning for his wife was not from want of feeling. They could not in their exile manifest publicly their lamentation, but they would privately "mourn one to another." Their "iniquities" would then be their chief sorrow ("pining away"), as feeling that these were the cause of their sufferings (compare
Le 26:39; La 3:39).
