Ezekiel 14 Introduction
简体中文
영문 원문
This prophecy Ezekiel 14:1-11 is a reproof of those who consult the false prophets. Some of the chief exiles come to Ezekiel as to one who has authority; but he, endowed with the genuine prophetic spirit, sees deep into their hearts, and finds the idols of self-will and unsubmissiveness set up therein. The prophet warns them that God will not be inquired of in such a spirit as this.

Ezekiel 14:4
简体中文
应省略「那前来的」一语。
按他众多的偶像 - 就是说，我要给他的回答，必如他所事奉的偶像一样迷惑人。可比较米该雅回答亚哈的事（1 Kings 22:15）。
영문 원문
Omit "that cometh."
According to the multitiude of his idols - i. e., I will give him an answer as delusive as the idols which he serves. Compare Micaiah's answer to Ahab 1 Kings 22:15.

Ezekiel 14:5

好叫我擒拿…… - 意即：我要捉住他们，如同捕入网罗——他们已被自己的心迷惑了。

Ezekiel 14:7
简体中文
寄居的外人 - 那些在以色列中间寄居、却不属以色列的人，也有义务禁戒拜偶像（Leviticus 17:10；Leviticus 20:2）。
凭我自己 - 或作如 Ezekiel 14:4 的「照着我」。凡怀着满心偶像前来求问的，将得到这样的回答：
（1）「照他众多偶像的数目」 - 借着迷惑，
（2）「照着神的圣洁」 - 借着惩罚。
这求问是虚伪而不真实的——然而神要回答他：不是借着口，而是借着；不是借着话，而是借着行为；不是借着言语，而是借着鞭责。

The stranger - They who sojourned among Israel, though they were not of Israel, were bound to abstain from idol-worship Leviticus 17:10; Leviticus 20:2.
By myself - Or, as in Ezekiel 14:4, "according to" Myself. He who comes to inquire with a heart full of idolatry shall have his answer,
(1) "according to the multitude of his idols" - in delusion,
(2) "according to the holiness of God" - in punishment.
The inquiry was hypocritical and unreal - but God will answer not by the mouth, but by the hand, not by word but by deed, not by speech but by a scourge.

我必使他…… - 或作「我必使他惊骇」（Ezekiel 32:10）；或作「使他诧异」，以致成为预兆和俗语。

Will make him - Or, I will make him amazed Ezekiel 32:10; or, astonished, so as to be a sign and a proverb.

Ezekiel 14:9
简体中文
我耶和华诱惑那先知 - 这些话之下藏着一个深刻的真理：恶与善同样在神的掌管之下。神随己意调度恶，用它试验人的真诚，从而使它最终有助于他子民的炼净、义人的坚固，以及他们荣耀与福乐的加增。欺骗亚哈的假先知一事（1 Kings 22）是这一原则的鲜明例证：主差遣一个恶灵去诱使亚哈走向灭亡。在犹大国末期，假先知尤其猖獗。人心中的意念被显露出来，善人从恶人中分别出来，百姓中的余民得以从近年玷污全国的罪中得洁净。

I the Lord hare deceived that prophet - A deep truth lies beneath these words, namely, that evil as well as good is under God's direction. He turns it as He will, employing it to test the sincerity of men, and thus making it ultimately contribute to the purification of His people, to the confirmation of the righteous, to the increase of their glory and felicity. The case of the false prophets who deceived Ahab 1 Kings 22 is a striking representation of this principle. The Lord sends forth an evil spirit to persuade Ahab to his ruin. Toward the close of the kingdom of Judah false prophets were especially rife. The thoughts of men's hearts were revealed, the good separated from the bad, and the remnant of the people purged from the sins by which of late years the whole nation had been defiled.

Ezekiel 14:11

有人说过：「神借着罪来刑罚罪」；但其结局乃是义的重建。

"God," it has been said, "punishes sins by means of sins," but the end is the re-establishment of righteousness.

Ezekiel 14:12
简体中文
Jeremiah 第 14、15 章与这段预言有显著的平行之处。正如别处一样，以西结在此奉命向被掳之人传达耶利米向犹大地居民所传的同一信息。这答复显明了那些明说或含蓄之问题的性质：
（1）神能驱逐那归他为圣的子民吗？
（2）以全然荒凉惩罚他们，公正吗？
先知回答说：
（1）当一个民族败坏到招致全国性审判的地步时，个人的敬虔只能拯救那敬虔者本人，救不了别人。
（2）这民的败坏光景将显明到一个地步，没有人会再质疑神如此严厉待他们的公义。
Ezekiel 14:12
或作「若有一地」 - 这情形先以一般形式提出，随后更着力地直接应用在耶路撒冷身上——「若有一地大大干犯罪恶而得罪我，我伸手攻击那地，断绝其中的粮，使饥荒临到那地，将人与牲畜从其中剪除；虽有这三人在其中」等等。

Jeremiah 14; 15 is a remarkable parallel to this prophecy. Here, as elsewhere, Ezekiel is commissioned to deliver to the exiles the same message which Jeremiah conveys to the inhabitants of Judaea. The answer discovers the nature of the questions which had been expressed or implied.
(1) Can God cast out a people who are holy unto Himself?
(2) Is it just to punish them with utter desolation?
The prophet answers:
(1) That when a people is so corrupt as to call down national judgment, individual piety shall save none but the individuals themselves.
(2) The corrupt condition of the people shall be made so manifest, that none will question the justice of God in dealing thus severely with them.
Ezekiel 14:12
Or, "When a land" - the case is first put in a general form, and then ism brought with increased force home to Jerusalem - "sinneth against me by trespassing grievously," and I stretch out "mine hand upon it," and break the staff of bread "thereof," and send famine "upon it and" cut off "man and beast: though these three men" etc.

Ezekiel 14:14
简体中文
挪亚、但以理、约伯 - 这是三个人们的显著例证：他们因自己的正直，从临到他人的毁灭中获救。有人觉得奇怪：但以理是同时代的人，且尚年轻，竟与两位古代贤士并列。但 Daniel 2 对他的记载表明，此时但以理已是一位非常杰出的人物（参 Ezekiel 28:3）；引入一位当代人的名字，使这例证更有力量、更鲜活。这几个名字的排列次序含有一种递进：挪亚未能救出有罪的世代，却带出了自己的妻子、儿子和儿媳；但以理只提拔了少数人，却确实使三位同胞与他一同得尊荣；至于约伯，则儿子女儿都未能幸存。

Noah, Daniel, and Job - Three striking instances of men who, for their integrity, were delivered from the ruin which fell upon others. Some have thought it strange that Daniel, a contemporary, and still young, should have been classed with the two ancient worthies. But the account of him Daniel 2 shows, that by this time Daniel was a very remarkable man (compare Ezekiel 28:3), and the introduction of the name of a contemporary gives force and life to the illustration. There is in the order in which the names occur a kind of climax. Noah did not rescue the guilty world, but did carry forth with him his wife, sons, and sons' wives. Daniel raised only a few, but he did raise three of his countrymen with him to honor. To Job was spared neither son nor daughter.

Ezekiel 14:22

"你们必得安慰……"——这是借着对全能者的护理作出更真实的估量。这刑罚必被看为是无可避免的，也是公义的。

Ye shall be comforted ... - By a truer estimate of the dispensations of the Almighty. This visitation will be recognized as inevitable and just.
这段预言（Ezekiel 14:1-11）是对那些求问假先知之人的责备。几位被掳的首领来到以西结这里，如同来到一位有权威的人面前；但他既怀着真正的先知之灵，便深深看透他们的内心，发现其中立着任性己意与不顺服的偶像。先知警告他们，人若存这样的心态，神必不被他求问。
