Isa 22:1-14.

本文を開く

简体中文

赛 22:1-14。

论耶路撒冷受攻击的预言。

即西拿基立在希西家十四年所发动的攻击;

赛 22:8-11

中防备与蓄水的准备,恰与

代下 32:4, 5, 30

相符。此外,"舍伯那"

(赛 22:15)

当时正是书记

(赛 36:3)

[MAURER]。

赛 22:12-14

论到犹太人的不信及其完全毁灭的话,更像是预表西底家王朝时尼布甲尼撒的毁灭,不能局限于希西家时期[LOWTH]。

1. 异象谷——更准确地说,应为"论异象谷";即耶路撒冷,是属神启示与异象之所在,"先知的摇篮"[JEROME],

(赛 2:3;29:1; 结 23:4,

旁注;

路 13:33)。

它位于一个"谷"中,四周被比锡安和摩利亚更高的群山环绕

(诗 125:2; 耶 21:13)。

你——拟人化的耶路撒冷百姓。

房顶——他们在恐慌中上到有栏杆的平顶上,向外张望以查看敌人是否临近,部分也是为了从房顶上自卫

(士 9:51

等)。

英語原文

Isa 22:1-14.

PROPHECY AS TO AN ATTACK ON JERUSALEM.

That by Sennacherib, in the fourteenth year of Hezekiah;

Isa 22:8-11,

the preparations for defense and securing of water exactly answer to those in

2Ch 32:4, 5, 30.

"Shebna," too

(Isa 22:15),

was scribe at this time

(Isa 36:3)

[MAURER]. The language of

Isa 22:12-14,

as to the infidelity and consequent utter ruin of the Jews, seems rather to foreshadow the destruction by Nebuchadnezzar in Zedekiah's reign, and cannot be restricted to Hezekiah's time [LOWTH].

1. of . . . valley of vision--rather, "respecting the valley of visions"; namely, Jerusalem, the seat of divine revelations and visions, "the nursery of prophets" [JEROME],

(Isa 2:3; 29:1; Eze 23:4,

Margin;

Lu 13:33).

It lay in a "valley" surrounded by hills higher than Zion and Moriah

(Ps 125:2; Jer 21:13).

thee--the people of Jerusalem personified.

housetops--Panic-struck, they went up on the flat balustraded roofs to look forth and see whether the enemy was near, and partly to defend themselves from the roofs

(Jud 9:51,

&c.).

简体中文

2. 你——更准确地说,应作"曾是";因为如今不能再说它是"欢乐的城"

(赛 32:13)。

他们欢乐

(赛 22:13)

的原因,可能是西拿基立接受了希西家恢复进贡的建议,他们乐于在任何条件下——无论多么屈辱——得着平安

(王下 18:14-16),

或因与埃及的结盟。若指西底家时期,这欢乐与筵席也并非不合宜,因为这种放肆是不信的犹太人普遍的特征

(赛 56:12)。

不是死在刀下——而是死于即将因围城而来的饥荒与瘟疫

(哀 4:9)。

MAURER 将此归于他所认为毁灭西拿基立大军、并使希西家患病的瘟疫

(赛 37:36;38:1)。

但没有根据可以假定在神毁灭他们的仇敌之时,此时城中的犹太人遭受了如此极端的瘟疫之苦。BARNES 将此归于逃亡时被杀的人,而非在光明正大的"阵战"中被杀的;

赛 22:3

支持此说。

英語原文

2. art--rather, "wert"; for it could not now be said to be "a joyous city"

(Isa 32:13).

The cause of their joy

(Isa 22:13)

may have been because Sennacherib had accepted Hezekiah's offer to renew the payment of tribute, and they were glad to have peace on any terms, however humiliating

(2Ki 18:14-16),

or on account of the alliance with Egypt. If the reference be to Zedekiah's time, the joy and feasting are not inapplicable, for this recklessness was a general characteristic of the unbelieving Jews

(Isa 56:12).

not slain with the sword--but with the famine and pestilence about to be caused by the coming siege

(La 4:9).

MAURER refers this to the plague by which he thinks Sennacherib's army was destroyed, and Hezekiah was made sick

(Isa 37:36; 38:1).

But there is no authority for supposing that the Jews in the city suffered such extremities of plague at this time, when God destroyed their foes. BARNES refers it to those slain in flight, not in open honorable "battle";

Isa 22:3

favors this.

简体中文

3. 官长——更确切为"将领"

(书 10:24; 士 11:6, 11)。

捆绑——更确切为"被捉拿"。

被弓箭手——字面为"被弓",如

赛 21:17。

弓箭手是轻装部队,负责在前方 skirmish 以及

(王下 6:22)

追击逃兵

(王下 25:5);

本节更适用于尼布甲尼撒的攻城,而非西拿基立的。

一切……在你中间的——即城中一切被寻见的人

(赛 13:15),

不止于"官长"或将领。

远方逃奔的——即从远方逃来耶路撒冷以求安全的人;更确切为"远远地逃奔"。

英語原文

3. rulers--rather, "generals"

(Jos 10:24; Jud 11:6, 11).

bound--rather, "are taken."

by the archers--literally, "by the bow"; so

Isa 21:17.

Bowmen were the light troops, whose province it was to skirmish in front and

(2Ki 6:22)

pursue fugitives

(2Ki 25:5);

this verse applies better to the attack of Nebuchadnezzar than that of Sennacherib.

all . . . in thee--all found in the city

(Isa 13:15),

not merely the "rulers" or generals.

fled from far--those who had fled from distant parts to Jerusalem as a place of safety; rather, fled afar.

简体中文

4. 任凭我——深切的悲痛寻求独处;当他人欢乐宴乐之时,以赛亚却因预见临到耶路撒冷的灾难而哀恸

(弥 1:8, 9)。

女儿云云——(见

赛 1:8;

哀 2:11

注释)。

英語原文

4. Look . . . from me--Deep grief seeks to be alone; while others feast joyously, Isaiah mourns in prospect of the disaster coming on Jerusalem

(Mic 1:8, 9).

daughter, &c.--(see on

Isa 1:8;

La 2:11).

简体中文

5. 灾难……在主那里——即由主所发、从主而来(见

赛 19:15; 路 21:22-24

注释)。

异象谷——(见

赛 22:1

注释)。有人认为指俄斐勒附近的一个山谷,即将成为荒凉之所(参

赛 32:13, 14

注释)。

拆毁……城墙——即"拆毁城墙之日"。

向山呼喊——城中居民的哀号"达到"(MAURER译作达向)众山,并被众山回响。JOSEPHUS以极其相似的语言描述提多攻取耶路撒冷的情景。这预言大概最终指向此事。若如有人所想,"呼喊"是那些逃往众山之人所发,可参

太 13:14; 24:16。

英語原文

5. trouble . . . by the Lord--that is, sent by or from the Lord (see on

Isa 19:15;

Lu 21:22-24).

valley of vision--(See on

Isa 22:1).

Some think a valley near Ophel is meant as about to be the scene of devastation (compare see on

Isa 32:13,14).

breaking . . . walls--that is, "a day of breaking the walls" of the city.

crying to the mountains--the mournful cry of the townsmen "reaches" to (MAURER translates, towards) the mountains, and is echoed back by them. JOSEPHUS describes in the very same language the scene at the assault of Jerusalem under Titus. To this the prophecy, probably, refers ultimately. If, as some think, the "cry" is that of those escaping to the mountains, compare

Mt 13:14; 24:16,

with this.

简体中文

6. 以拦——底格里斯河下游以东之地,相当于后来所称的波斯(见

赛 21:2

注释)。后来以拦成为波斯的一省

(拉 4:9)。

西拿基立时代,以拦隶属于亚述

(王下 18:11),

故为亚述的入侵军队提供一支兵丁。以拦以弓箭闻名

(赛 13:18; 耶 49:35),

惟有古实人胜过他们。

用战车与马兵——即他们在战车上与马背上都使用弓。"人的战车"即载人作战的战车(参

赛 21:7;

赛 21:9

注释)。

基珥——另一民族,隶属于亚述

(王下 16:9);

位于里海与黑海之间、库尔河一带。

揭开——即卸下盾牌的皮革套,为战斗之用;皮革套是为行军途中保护其上浮雕免受尘土或损伤而设。"箭袋"与"盾牌"代表两类兵种——轻装与重装部队。

英語原文

6. Elam--the country stretching east from the Lower Tigris, answering to what was afterwards called Persia (see on

Isa 21:2).

Later, Elam was a province of Persia

(Ezr 4:9).

In Sennacherib's time, Elam was subject to Assyria

(2Ki 18:11),

and so furnished a contingent to its invading armies. Famed for the bow

(Isa 13:18; Jer 49:35),

in which the Ethiopians alone excelled them.

with chariots of men and horsemen--that is, they used the bow both in chariots and on horseback. "Chariots of men," that is, chariots in which men are borne, war chariots (compare see on

Isa 21:7;

Isa 21:9).

Kir--another people subject to Assyria

(2Ki 16:9);

the region about the river Kur, between the Caspian and Black Seas.

uncovered--took off for the battle the leather covering of the shield, intended to protect the embossed figures on it from dust or injury during the march. "The quiver" and "the shield" express two classes--light and heavy armed troops.

简体中文

7. 谷地——在耶路撒冷东、北、南三面:南面的欣嫩子谷是最肥沃的谷地。

在城门摆阵——拉伯沙基站在靠近上池的水沟旁

(赛 36:11-13)。

英語原文

7. valleys--east, north, and south of Jerusalem: Hinnom on the south side was the richest valley.

in array at the gate--Rab-shakeh stood at the upper pool close to the city

(Isa 36:11-13).

简体中文

8. 他除去遮盖——更当为"犹大的帕子必被揭去"[HORSLEY]:比喻被掳者蒙羞暴露

(赛 47:3; 鸿 3:5)。

西拿基立拆毁了"犹大一切坚固城"

(赛 36:1)。

你仰望——更当为"你必仰望"。

黎巴嫩林……宫——所罗门用黎巴嫩森林的香柏木所建的军械库,在锡安一处称为俄斐勒的斜坡上

(王上 7:2;10:17; 尼 3:19)。

以赛亚说

(赛 22:8-13)

他的同胞将仰望自己的力量来保卫自己,另一些人则在筵席上以宴乐来淹没他们对国事的忧愁,却无一人仰望耶和华。

英語原文

8. he discovered the covering--rather, "the veil of Judah shall be taken off" [HORSLEY]: figuratively for, exposing to shame as a captive

(Isa 47:3; Na 3:5).

Sennacherib dismantled all "the defensed cities of Judah"

(Isa 36:1).

thou didst look--rather, "thou shalt look."

house of . . . forest--The house of armory built of cedar from the forest of Lebanon by Solomon, on a slope of Zion called Ophel

(1Ki 7:2; 10:17; Ne 3:19).

Isaiah says

(Isa 22:8-13)

his countrymen will look to their own strength to defend themselves, while others of them will drown their sorrows as to their country in feasting, but none will look to Jehovah.

简体中文

9. 你们看见——应译为「你们必看见」。

大卫城——锡安的上城,耶路撒冷的南面

(撒下 5:7, 9; 王上 8:1);

有自己独立的城墙;但即使在其中也有「破口」。希西家防御的准备与此相符

(代下 32:5)。

你们聚拢——应译为「你们必聚拢」。

下池——(见

赛 22:11

注解)。

你们要将供应下池(仅在此提及)的泉源,借在锡安磐石中凿出的地下通道引入城中。见

赛 7:3;

王下 20:20; 代下 32:3-5

注解, 它们表明希西家塞住了泉源,以防止亚述人取水。但这与此处的记载并不矛盾。下池多余的活水通常流入欣嫩谷,并如此经过约沙法谷流入汲沦溪。希西家在其周围筑墙,堵住其外流的水以阻止敌人使用,并将其引入城中。

英語原文

9. Ye have seen--rather, "Ye shall see."

city of David--the upper city, on Zion, the south side of Jerusalem

(2Sa 5:7, 9; 1Ki 8:1);

surrounded by a wall of its own; but even in it there shall be "breaches." Hezekiah's preparations for defense accord with this

(2Ch 32:5).

ye gathered--rather, "ye shall gather."

lower pool--(See on

Isa 22:11).

Ye shall bring together into the city by subterranean passages cut in the rock of Zion, the fountain from which the lower pool (only mentioned here) is supplied. See on

Isa 7:3;

2Ki 20:20; 2Ch 32:3-5,

represent Hezekiah as having stopped the fountains to prevent the Assyrians getting water. But this is consistent with the passage here. The superfluous waters of the lower pool usually flowed into Hinnom valley, and so through that of Jehoshaphat to the brook Kedron. Hezekiah built a wall round it, stopped the outflowing of its waters to debar the foe from the use of them, and turned them into the city.

简体中文

10. 数点——应译为「你们必数点」,即为了看其中哪些可以最少损失被拆下,并最有利地用于修墙和建塔楼

(代下 32:5)。

你们也拆毁——应译为「你们必拆毁」。

英語原文

10. numbered--rather, "ye shall number," namely, in order to see which of them may be pulled down with the least loss to the city, and with most advantage for the repair of the walls and rearing of towers

(2Ch 32:5).

have ye broken down--rather, "ye shall break down."

简体中文

11. 你们……挖沟——应译为「你们必挖一个水库」,为接收水。希西家将西罗亚——旧(或王上或上)池的源头——以一堵与锡安城墙相连的墙围住;他在这两堵墙之间造了一个新池,将前者的水引入其中,这样也截断了敌人的水源。上池接收水的开口比下池取水的开口更近锡安,所以从前者的水可以容易地用墙围住,而从后者的水只能借地下管道引入(比较见

赛 22:9;

赛 7:3; 王下 20:20; 代下 32:3-5, 30;

便西拉智训 48:17)。两者都在耶路撒冷的西南。

不仰望……不顾念——以对比回应「你观看兵器,看见(『顾念』或『注意』)破口」

(赛 22:8, 9)。

造它的——神,借他的命令和帮助造了这些防御,并在「从前」赐下了这泉源。G. V. SMITH 译为「那行这事的主」,即将这危险加于你们的——「那从远处安排这事的主」,即甚至从远时就计划了它。

英語原文

11. Ye made . . . a ditch--rather, "Ye shall make a reservoir" for receiving the water. Hezekiah surrounded Siloah, from which the old (or king's, or upper) pool took its rise, with a wall joined to the wall of Zion on both sides; between these two walls he made a new pool, into which he directed the waters of the former, thus cutting off the foe from his supply of water also. The opening from which the upper pool received its water was nearer Zion than the other from which the lower pool took its rise, so that the water which flowed from the former could easily be shut in by a wall, whereas that which flowed from the latter could only be brought in by subterranean conduits (compare see on

Isa 22:9;

Isa 7:3; 2Ki 20:20; 2Ch 32:3-5, 30;

Ecclesiasticus 48:17). Both were southwest of Jerusalem.

have not looked . . . neither had respect--answering by contrast to "Thou didst look to the armor, ye have seen ('had respect', or 'regard to') the breaches"

(Isa 22:8, 9).

maker thereof--God, by whose command and aid these defenses were made, and who gave this fountain "long ago." G. V. SMITH translates, "Him who doeth it," that is, has brought this danger on you--"Him who hath prepared it from afar," that is, planned it even from a distant time.

简体中文

12. 主耶和华召——通常由祭司发出国民哀悼的呼召

(珥 1:14);

如今耶和华亲自发出;这「呼召」在于可畏仇敌的来临。译为「必呼叫。」

秃头——忧伤的象征

(伯 1:20; 弥 1:16)。

英語原文

12. did the Lord God call--Usually the priests gave the summons to national mourning

(Joe 1:14);

now JEHOVAH Himself shall give it; the "call" shall consist in the presence of a terrible foe. Translate, "shall call."

baldness--emblem of grief

(Job 1:20; Mic 1:16).

简体中文

13. 尽管耶和华「呼召哀悼」

(赛 22:12),

许多人要将这绝望的局势当作放荡宴乐的理由

(赛 5:11, 12, 14; 耶 18:12; 林前 15:32)。

英語原文

13. Notwithstanding Jehovah's "call to mourning"

(Isa 22:12),

many shall make the desperate state of affairs a reason for reckless revelry

(Isa 5:11, 12, 14; Jer 18:12; 1Co 15:32).

简体中文

赛 22:15-25.

关于舍伯那将被免去宫宰之职、以利亚敬升任此职的预言。

在

赛 36:3, 22; 37:2,

我们看到舍伯那作「书记」,不再作宫宰(「家宰」),而以利亚敬任此职,正如本处所预言。 舍伯那被挑出作为预言的对象(这是以赛亚书中个人如此被挑出的唯一例子),因他属于那藐视先知警告的不敬虔派系

(赛 28:1-33:24);

也许正是他建议希西家暂时屈辱地向西拿基立投降。

15. 你去见——应译为「进去见」(即进屋去见)。

掌库的——「那住在帐幕中的」[JEROME];即圣殿中专门拨给掌库者的一间房。更应译为「王的朋友」或「朝廷的首席官员」

(王上 4:5; 18:3; 代上 27:33,

「王的谋士」)[MAURER]。「这」带有轻蔑之意前置

(出 32:1)。

对舍伯那——希伯来文「对」表明向舍伯那传达不受欢迎的信息。

英語原文

Isa 22:15-25.

PROPHECY THAT SHEBNA SHOULD BE DEPOSED FROM BEING PREFECT OF THE PALACE, AND ELIAKIM PROMOTED TO THE OFFICE.

In

Isa 36:3, 22; 37:2,

we find Shebna "a scribe," and no longer prefect of the palace ("over the household"), and Eliakim in that office, as is here foretold. Shebna is singled out as the subject of prophecy (the only instance of an individual being so in Isaiah), as being one of the irreligious faction that set at naught the prophet's warnings

(Isa 28:1-33:24);

perhaps it was he who advised the temporary ignominious submission of Hezekiah to Sennacherib.

15. Go, get thee unto--rather, "Go in to" (that is, into the house to).

treasurer--"him who dwells in the tabernacle" [JEROME]; namely, in a room of the temple set apart for the treasurer. Rather, "the king's friend," or "principal officer of the court"

(1Ki 4:5; 18:3; 1Ch 27:33,

"the king's counsellor") [MAURER]. "This" is prefixed contemptuously

(Ex 32:1).

unto Shebna--The Hebrew for "unto" indicates an accosting of Shebna with an unwelcome message.

简体中文

16. 什么……谁——先知在舍伯那为自己和家人建造宏伟坟墓之处当面质问他(比较

赛 14:18; 创 23:1-20; 49:29; 50:13)。

「你在这里有什么(事),你在这里有谁(属你家人,可能葬于此的),你竟在这里建造」云云,既然你不久就要被免去职位、被掳而去?[MAURER]。

高处——坟墓建于最高的岩石上

(代下 32:33,

栏注)。

为自己……住处——比较「他自己的家」

(赛 14:18)。

英語原文

16. What . . . whom--The prophet accosts Shebna at the very place where he was building a grand sepulcher for himself and his family (compare

Isa 14:18; Ge 23:1-20; 49:29; 50:13).

"What (business) hast thou here, and whom hast thou (of thy family, who is likely to be buried) here, that thou buildest," &c., seeing that thou art soon to be deposed from office and carried into captivity? [MAURER].

on high--Sepulchres were made in the highest rocks

(2Ch 32:33,

Margin).

habitation for himself--compare "his own house"

(Isa 14:18).

简体中文

17. 把你掳去——应译为「必将你大力抛掷」[MAURER]。「大力」文字上是「属人的」(如此

伯 38:3)。

必定遮蔽——即以羞愧遮蔽你,在你正为自己树立纪念碑以延续名声之处[VITRINGA]。「必将你滚来滚去」,即如球一般被抛掷,不断地滚去[MAURER]。 比较

赛 22:18。

英語原文

17. carry . . . away with . . . captivity--rather, "will cast thee away with a mighty throw" [MAURER]. "Mighty," literally, "of a man" (so

Job 38:3).

surely cover--namely, with shame, where thou art rearing a monument to perpetuate thy fame [VITRINGA]. "Rolling will roll thee," that is, will continually roll thee on, as a ball to be tossed away [MAURER]. Compare

Isa 22:18.

简体中文

18. 大力扭转抛掷——字面作"旋转着将你旋转",即毫不间断*地将你旋转 [MAURER]。"祂必一圈又一圈地将你旋转,然后(才)将你抛去",如投石机中的石头先被反复旋转,然后才松绳抛出 [LOWTH]。

宽阔之地——大概是亚述。

战车……必作你主家的羞辱——更恰当作"你荣耀的战车必在那里,你这你主家的羞辱啊" [NOYES];"你荣耀的战车"即"你华美的战车"。意思不是他将在远方之地如耶路撒冷那样拥有这些战车,而是他将以羞辱的方式被运到那里,而非乘他华美的战车。犹太人说,他被敌人拴在马尾巴上——他原想向他们出卖耶路撒冷,他们却以为他在戏弄他们;他就这样死了。

英語原文

18. violently turn and toss--literally, "whirling He will whirl thee," that is, He will, without intermission, whirl thee [MAURER]. "He will whirl thee round and round, and (then) cast thee away," as a stone in a sling is first whirled round repeatedly, before the string is let go [LOWTH].

large country--perhaps Assyria.

chariots . . . shall be the shame of thy lord's house--rather, "thy splendid chariots shall be there, O thou disgrace of thy lord's house" [NOYES]; "chariots of thy glory" mean "thy magnificent chariots." It is not meant that he would have these in a distant land, as he had in Jerusalem, but that he would be borne thither in ignominy instead of in his magnificent chariots. The Jews say that he was tied to the tails of horses by the enemy, to whom he had designed to betray Jerusalem, as they thought he was mocking them; and so he died.

简体中文

*19. 职位——官职。

他——指神。类似的代词转换见

19. state--office.

he--God. A similar change of persons occurs in

Isa 34:16.

*20. 希勒家之子——KIMCHI 猜想与亚撒利雅——希勒家之子——为同一人,他或许有两个名字,在希西家时"管家"

(1Ch 6:13)。

英語原文

20. son of Hilkiah--supposed by KIMCHI to be the same as Azariah, son of Hilkiah, who perhaps had two names, and who was "over the household" in Hezekiah's time

(1Ch 6:13).

简体中文

*21. 你的外袍——官服。

腰带——钱袋系于其中,剑附于其上;常以金银宝石为饰。

父——即谋士和朋友。

英語原文

21. thy robe--of office.

girdle--in which the purse was carried, and to it was attached the sword; often adorned with gold and jewels.

father--that is, a counsellor and friend.

简体中文

*22. 钥匙——他管家职任的象征;"开"或"关";出入由他决定。

在……肩头上——东方有时如此带钥匙,挂在肩上的帕子上。但这短语更是比喻,意为将政权担在肩上。以利亚敬如其名所示,在此明明是神人基督——"大卫"之子——的预表,以赛亚在

Isa 9:6

对本节前一句用了同样的话。在

Re 3:7

可见与后一句同样的话(参见

Job 12:14)。

英語原文

22. key--emblem of his office over the house; to "open" or "shut"; access rested with him.

upon . . . shoulder--So keys are carried sometimes in the East, hanging from the kerchief on the shoulder. But the phrase is rather figurative for sustaining the government on one's shoulders. Eliakim, as his name implies, is here plainly a type of the God-man Christ, the son of "David," of whom Isaiah

(Isa 9:6)

uses the same language as the former clause of this verse. In

Re 3:7,

the same language as the latter clause is found (compare

Job 12:14).

简体中文

*23. 钉子……坚固处——古时房屋中有大钉或桩,其上悬挂家族的饰物。意思是:一切对国家有价值的东西都要安稳地靠在他身上。

Ezr 9:8

中"钉子"指钉入地中以固定帐棚绳索的大桩。

宝座——应用于以利亚及时,是给他家族的安息之处;但应用于预表的实体弥赛亚时,则是严格意义上的"宝座"

(Lu 1:32, 33)。

英語原文

23. nail . . . sure place--Large nails or pegs stood in ancient houses on which were suspended the ornaments of the family. The sense is: all that is valuable to the nation shall rest securely on him. In

Ezr 9:8

"nail" is used of the large spike driven into the ground to fasten the cords of the tent to.

throne--resting-place to his family, as applied to Eliakim; but "throne," in the strict sense, as applied to Messiah, the antitype

(Lu 1:32, 33).

简体中文

24. 与

Isa 22:23

相同的意象。当时习俗是将家中贵重之物挂在钉子上

(1Ki 10:16, 17, 21; So 4:4)。

offspring and the issue——应作"家族的枝子,无论尊卑" [VITRINGA]。 以利亚敬甚至能为那卑微之辈带来荣耀。

vessels of cups——容量小的器皿:与卑微的枝子相应。

vessels of flagons——较大的器皿:与尊贵的枝子相应。

英語原文

24. Same image as in

Isa 22:23.

It was customary to "hang" the valuables of a house on nails

(1Ki 10:16, 17, 21; So 4:4).

offspring and the issue--rather, "the offshoots of the family, high and low" [VITRINGA]. Eliakim would reflect honor even on the latter.

vessels of cups--of small capacity: answering to the low and humble offshoots.

vessels of flagons--larger vessels: answering to the high offshoots.

简体中文

25. nail . . . fastened——指舍伯那,他被认为稳立于其职位上。

burden . . . upon it——所有依附于舍伯那的人,他一切的利益与尊位都将落空,正如钉子突然"被砍断"时,其上所挂的饰物随之坠落。罪的影响甚至延及罪人之家

(Ex 20:5)。

英語原文

25. nail . . . fastened--Shebna, who was supposed to be firmly fixed in his post.

burden . . . upon it--All that were dependent on Shebna, all his emoluments and rank will fail, as when a peg is suddenly "cut down," the ornaments on it fall with it. Sin reaches in its effects even to the family of the guilty

(Ex 20:5).
