Isa 59:1-21.
繁體中文
英語原文
Isa 59:1-21.
THE PEOPLE'S SIN THE CAUSE OF JUDGMENTS: THEY AT LAST OWN IT THEMSELVES: THE REDEEMER'S FUTURE INTERPOSITION IN THEIR EXTREMITY.
The reason why Jehovah does not deliver His people, notwithstanding their religious services
(Isa 58:3),
is not want of power on His part, but because of their sins
(Isa 59:1-8);
Isa 59:9-15
contain their confession;
Isa 59:16-21,
the consequent promise of the Messiah.
1. hand . . . shortened--(See on
Isa 50:2).

3.
(Isa 1:15;
Ro 3:13-15).
hands . . . fingers——不僅「手」犯下更粗暴的重罪（「血」），連「手指」也犯下更瑣碎的「罪孽」之舉。
lips . . . tongue——嘴唇「公開」「說」謊言，舌頭「喃喃」發出惡意的中傷（「乖謬」；對他人的扭曲誣陷）
(Jer 6:28; 9:4).
英語原文
3.
(Isa 1:15; Ro 3:13-15).
hands . . . fingers--Not merely the "hands" perpetrate deeds of grosser enormity ("blood"), but the "fingers" commit more minute acts of "iniquity."
lips . . . tongue--The lips "speak" openly "lies," the tongue "mutters" malicious insinuations ("perverseness"; perverse misrepresentations of others)
(Jer 6:28; 9:4).

4. 不如作「無人以公義告狀」，即無人提出公正的訴訟：「無人以誠實辯白。」
they trust . . . iniquity——（如
Job 15:35;

英語原文
4. Rather, "No one calleth an adversary into court with justice," that is, None bringeth a just suit: "No one pleadeth with truth."
they trust . . . iniquity--(So
Job 15:35; Ps 7:14).

5. cockatrice——大概是毒蛇 basilisk，即 cerastes。他們不僅沒有將罪惡扼殺於卵中，反而加以培育。
spider's web——此處不是指蛛網被用來捕捉，而是指其薄弱，與堅實的「衣裳」相對，如
Isa 59:6
所示。他們的工作虛空而短暫
(Job 8:14;
Pr 11:18).
eateth . . . their eggs——參與他們計謀或與之有牽連的人，必發現其為禍患。
that which is crushed——蛋被壓碎時，破出的是毒蛇；他們的計謀，無論在其未發展的形式（如蛋）中如何貌似合理，一旦發展開來，便顯為有害。雖然毒蛇是胎生的（「vi-per」一名由此而來），但在妊娠期間，幼蛇被包在卵中，於出生時破裂 [BOCHART]；然而，比喻往往將事物合併使用，而不必在每一細節上都精確對應。
英語原文
5. cockatrice--probably the basilisk serpent, cerastes. Instead of crushing evil in the egg, they foster it.
spider's web--This refers not to the spider's web being made to entrap, but to its thinness, as contrasted with substantial "garments," as
Isa 59:6
shows. Their works are vain and transitory
(Job 8:14; Pr 11:18).
eateth . . . their eggs--he who partakes in their plans, or has anything to do with them, finds them pestiferous.
that which is crushed--The egg, when it is broken, breaketh out as a viper; their plans, however specious in their undeveloped form like the egg, when developed, are found pernicious. Though the viper is viviparous (from which "vi-per" is derived), yet during gestation, the young are included in eggs, which break at the birth [BOCHART]; however, metaphors often combine things without representing everything to the life.

(Isa 64:6;
Ro 13:14;
Ga 3:27;
Php 3:9).
人類哲學中人為的、自欺的詭辯
(1Ti 6:5;
2Ti 2:16, 23).
英語原文
6. not . . . garments--like the "fig leaves" wherewith Adam and Eve vainly tried to cover their shame, as contrasted with "the coats of skins" which the Lord God made to clothe them with
(Isa 64:6; Ro 13:14; Ga 3:27; Php 3:9).
The artificial self-deceiving sophisms of human philosophy
(1Ti 6:5; 2Ti 2:16, 23).

試與大衛在神道路上「奔跑」與「急速」的情景相比

us——在
Isa 59:8
及前數節中是「他們」，即第三人稱；此處是「我們……我們」，即第一人稱。這裡是國家說話：神如此使他們從自己的口中定自己的罪；正如祂從前藉其先知定他們的罪。以賽亞將自己與他的百姓同列，以他們的名說話。
justice——神的公義帶來救恩
(Isa 46:13)。
light——復興興盛的曙光。
obscurity——災難
(Jer 8:15)。

"The vindication of our just rights by God is withheld by Him from us."
us--In
Isa 59:8
and previous verses, it was "they," the third person; here, "us . . . we," the first person. The nation here speaks: God thus making them out of their own mouth condemn themselves; just as He by His prophet had condemned them before. Isaiah includes himself with his people and speaks in their name.
justice--God's justice bringing salvation
(Isa 46:13).
light--the dawn of returning prosperity.

stumble at noon . . . as . . . night——我們的災禍沒有緩和的時候；在我們指望中午得解救的時候，仍有我們災難的黑夜。
in desolate places——宜作，以配合平行詞「正午」，在肥沃的（字面意思是「肥」；
Ge 27:28)
田間〔GESENIUS〕（在那裡一切看來大有盼望），我們如死人一般（再無盼望剩下）；或在別人興旺之處，我們如死人般遊蕩；這適用於一切不信者
(Isa 26:10; Lu 15:17)。
英語原文
10. grope--fulfilling Moses' threat
(De 28:29).
stumble at noon . . . as . . . night--There is no relaxation of our evils; at the time when we might look for the noon of relief, there is still the night of our calamity.
in desolate places--rather, to suit the parallel words "at noonday," in fertile (literally, "fat";
Ge 27:28)
fields [GESENIUS] (where all is promising) we are like the dead (who have no hope left them); or, where others are prosperous, we wander about as dead men; true of all unbelievers

耶和華看見了——以色列的罪惡如此深重，非耶和華親自介入不能挽回，這預表了人性深處的敗壞同樣需要一位神聖中保；以色列作為模範民族，被揀選正是為了說明這可怕的事實。
英語原文
15. faileth--is not to be found.
he that departeth . . . prey--He that will not fall in with the prevailing iniquity exposes himself as a prey to the wicked
(Ps 10:8, 9).
Lord saw it--The iniquity of Israel, so desperate as to require nothing short of Jehovah's interposition to mend it, typifies the same necessity for a Divine Mediator existing in the deep corruption of man; Israel, the model nation, was chosen to illustrate his awful fact.

16. 無人——即無人以其義為百姓的不義贖罪。「人」是強調語，如
王上 2:2；
沒有代表性的「人」能挽回墮落人類的事業

沒有中保——沒有人介入，「來扶持……幫助」
（賽 63:5）。
他的膀臂——
（賽 40:10，51:5）。
不是人的膀臂，唯獨祂的
（詩 98:1，44:3）。
他的公義——彌賽亞的「膀臂」。祂為我們贏得勝利，不是單憑作為神的大能，而是憑祂作為人——「有無限量之靈」——的不屈公義
（賽 11:5，42:6、21，51:8，53:11； 約壹 2:1）。
英語原文
16. no man--namely, to atone by his righteousness for the unrighteousness of the people. "Man" is emphatic, as in

no intercessor--no one to interpose, "to help . . . uphold"
(Isa 63:5).
his arm--
(Isa 40:10; 51:5).
Not man's arm, but His alone

his righteousness--the "arm" of Messiah. He won the victory for us, not by mere might as God, but by His invincible righteousness, as man having "the Spirit without measure"
(Isa 11:5; 42:6, 21; 51:8; 53:11; 1Jo 2:1).

17. 彌賽亞被描繪為一位全副武裝的戰士，出去為祂的百姓伸冤。由於基督與祂百姓的合一，他們的軍裝與祂相似，只是他們沒有「報仇的衣服」（報仇是神的特權，
羅 12:19），
或「熱心的外袍」（在刑罰惡人的審判烈怒之意義上；這熱心正當歸於神，
王下 10:16； 羅 10:2； 腓 3:6；
「熱心」在為主名的榮耀焦慮之意義上，他們是有的，
民 25:11、13； 詩 69:9； 林後 7:11，9:2）；
至於「拯救」——唯獨出於神
（詩 3:8），
他們以「得救的盼望」為其頭盔
（帖前 5:8）。
「救恩的頭盔」在次要意義上也歸於他們
（弗 6:14、17）；
即從祂領受的，且目前只在盼望中，尚非享受
（羅 8:24）。
第二次降臨在此如常被包含在彌賽亞的描繪中。祂第一次降臨時的「熱心」
（約 2:15-17）
不過是祂第二次降臨時對神仇敵的熱心與報應的預表
（帖後 1:8-10； 啟 19:11-21）。
英語原文
17. Messiah is represented as a warrior armed at all points, going forth to vindicate His people. Owing to the unity of Christ and His people, their armor is like His, except that they have no "garments of vengeance" (which is God's prerogative,
Ro 12:19),
or "cloak of zeal" (in the sense of judicial fury punishing the wicked; this zeal belongs properly to God,
2Ki 10:16; Ro 10:2; Php 3:6;
"zeal," in the sense of anxiety for the Lord's honor, they have,
Nu 25:11, 13; Ps 69:9; 2Co 7:11; 9:2);
and for "salvation," which is of God alone
(Ps 3:8),
they have as their helmet, "the hope of salvation"
(1Th 5:8).
The "helmet of salvation" is attributed to them
(Eph 6:14, 17)
in a secondary sense; namely, derived from Him, and as yet only in hope, not fruition
(Ro 8:24).
The second coming here, as often, is included in this representation of Messiah. His "zeal"
(Joh 2:15-17)
at His first coming was but a type of His zeal and vengeance against the foes of God at His second coming
(2Th 1:8-10; Re 19:11-21).

20. 到錫安——
羅 11:26
引作「從錫安」。保羅受默示，從
詩 14:7
補充了此意：祂曾來到、並來到錫安，首先帶來救贖，且按肉身說是從錫安而出。七十士譯本譯作「為錫安的緣故」。保羅將此節應用於以色列將來的屬靈復興。
那轉離——
(羅 11:26)。
「要消除雅各一切不敬虔的心」；七十士譯本亦如此譯。保羅在默示之下賦予其完整的意義：他們轉離過犯，是因為祂先使他們轉離過犯，並使過犯遠離他們
(詩 130:4； 哀 5:21)。
英語原文
20. to Zion--
Ro 11:26
quotes it, "out of Zion." Thus Paul, by inspiration, supplements the sense from
Ps 14:7:
He was, and is come to Zion, first with redemption, being sprung as man out of Zion. The Septuagint translates "for the sake of Zion." Paul applies this verse to the coming restoration of Israel spiritually.
them that turn from--
(Ro 11:26).
"shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob"; so the Septuagint, Paul herein gives the full sense under inspiration. They turn from transgression, because He first turns them from it, and it from them
(Ps 130:4; La 5:21).
