Ho 7:1-16.
简体中文
英文原文
Ho 7:1-16.
REPROOF OF ISRAEL.
Probably delivered in the interreign and civil war at Pekah's death; for
Ho 7:7,
"all their kings . . . fallen," refers to the murder of Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem, Pekahiah, and Pekah. In
Ho 7:8
the reference seems to be to Menahem's payment of tribute to Pul, in order to secure himself in the usurped throne, also to Pekah's league with Rezin of Syria, and to Hoshea's connection with Assyria during the interregnum at Pekah's death [MAURER].
1. I would have healed Israel--Israel's restoration of the two hundred thousand Jewish captives at God's command
(2Ch 28:8-15)
gave hope of Israel's reformation [HENDERSON]. Political, as well as moral, healing is meant. When I would have healed Israel in its calamitous state, then their iniquity was discovered to be so great as to preclude hope of recovery. Then he enumerates their wickedness: "The thief cometh in (indoors stealthily), and the troop of robbers spoileth without" (out-of-doors with open violence).

2. 心里不思想——字面意为“不对……说”，等等（诗 14:1）。
我记念——并要刑罚。
他们的作为围绕他们——如许多见证人一般指控他们（诗 9:16; 箴 5:22）。
在我面前——（诗 90:8）。
英文原文
2. consider not in their hearts--literally, "say not to," &c.
(Ps 14:1).
that I remember--and will punish.
their own doings have beset them about--as so many witnesses against them
(Ps 9:16; Pr 5:22).
before my face--
(Ps 90:8).

3. 他们的首领不但不禁止，反而“喜欢”那行这些恶事的人（罗 1:32）。
英文原文
3. Their princes, instead of checking, "have pleasure in them that do" such crimes
(Ro 1:32).

4. 歇息了……生火——当译作“给它加热”，源出一阿拉伯文字根，意为“发热”。七十士译本亦同。他们行淫与拜偶像的情欲如炉火被烧热，正如面包师的炉子：他从和面之时直到面团发起来，一直维持其热度，只在饼发酵的那短暂时段内停止添柴。参
2Pe 2:14，
“止不住犯罪”【亨德森（HENDERSON）】。
英文原文
4. who ceaseth from raising--rather, "heating" it, from an Arabic root, "to be hot." So the Septuagint. Their adulterous and idolatrous lust is inflamed as the oven of a baker who has it at such a heat that he ceaseth from heating it only from the time that he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened; he only needs to omit feeding it during the short period of the fermentation of the bread. Compare
2Pe 2:14,
"that cannot cease from sin" [HENDERSON].

5. 我们王的日子——指他的诞辰或登基之日。
使他生病——即那王。毛勒（MAURER）译作“使自己生病”。
用酒瓶——所饮的不是杯爵，而是瓶。毛勒译作“因酒之热”。
他伸手与亵慢人聚集——这是宴乐者彼此举杯、互祝健康的手势。讥诮之人就是王的酒肉朋友。
英文原文
5. the day of our king--his birthday or day of inauguration.
have made him sick--namely, the king. MAURER translates, "make themselves sick."
with bottles of wine--drinking not merely glasses, but bottles. MAURER translates, "Owing to the heat of wine."
he stretched out his hand with scorners--the gesture of revellers in holding out the cup and in drinking to one another's health. Scoffers were the king's boon companions.

6. 他们使心接近——当译作“他们使心接近”，即接近他们的王，去与他同饮。
如炉——沿用
Ho 7:4
的比喻。正如炉在面包师睡觉的夜里隐藏火光，到了早晨却烧成火焰，照样他们在良心昏睡时怀藏恶谋，其恶计只等时机一到便要爆发【霍斯利（HORSLEY）】。
他们的心是炉，那炉主（面包师）便是谋叛的魁首。在
Ho 7:7
他们的阴谋就显露了，即耶罗波安二世以后接二连三的内乱与弑君。
英文原文
6. they have made ready--rather, "they make their heart approach," namely their king, in going to drink with him.
like an oven--following out the image in
Ho 7:4.
As it conceals the lighted fire all night while the baker sleeps but in the morning burns as a flaming fire, so they brood mischief in their hearts while conscience is lulled asleep, and their wicked designs wait only for a fair occasion to break forth [HORSLEY]. Their heart is the oven, their baker the ringleader of the plot. In
Ho 7:7
their plots appear, namely, the intestine disturbances and murders of one king after another, after Jeroboam II.

7. 都发热——他们都怀着火热要煽动普世的扰乱
（2Ki 15:1-38）。
吞灭他们的审判官——即行政官长；如炉火吞灭燃料。
他们的众王……仆倒——见
Ho 7:1。
无人……求告我——他们竟顽梗至此：在这一切国难之中，竟无一人向我求助
（Isa 9:13; 64:7）。
英文原文
7. all hot--All burn with eagerness to cause universal disturbance
(2Ki 15:1-38).
devoured their judges--magistrates; as the fire of the oven devours the fuel.
all their kings . . . fallen--See on
Ho 7:1.
none . . . calleth unto me--Such is their perversity that amid all these national calamities, none seeks help from Me
(Isa 9:13; 64:7).

8. 与外邦人混杂——借与拜偶像者结盟，并采纳他们拜偶像的习俗
（Ho 7:9, 11; Ps 106:35）。
以法莲……是没有翻过的饼——一面焦、一面未熟的饼，不能吃；这是以法莲无价值的写照。东方人把饼放在地上烤，上覆灰烬
（1Ki 19:6），
每十分钟翻一次，使饼熟透而不焦。
英文原文
8. mixed . . . among the people--by leagues with idolaters, and the adoption of their idolatrous practices
(Ho 7:9, 11; Ps 106:35).
Ephraim . . . cake not turned--a cake burnt on one side and unbaked on the other, and so uneatable; an image of the worthlessness of Ephraim. The Easterners bake their bread on the ground, covering it with embers
(1Ki 19:6),
and turning it every ten minutes, to bake it thoroughly without burning it.

9. 外邦人——指外人：即叙利亚人和亚述人
（2Ki 13:7; 15:19, 20; 17:3-6）。
白发——即国家将亡的征兆。
斑斑——字面作“散布在他身上”。
他却不知道——老年本应带来智慧，他却既不知自己的衰败，也没有那引人悔改的真知识。
英文原文
9. Strangers--foreigners: the Syrians and Assyrians
(2Ki 13:7; 15:19, 20; 17:3-6).
gray hairs--that is, symptoms of approaching national dissolution.
are here and there upon--literally, "are sprinkled on" him.
yet he knoweth not--Though old age ought to bring with it wisdom, he neither knows of his senile decay, nor has the true knowledge which leads to reformation.

虽遭这一切事……仍不归向耶和华——尽管遭逢这一切灾祸
（Isa 9:13）。

Ho 5:5.
not return to . . . Lord . . . for all this--notwithstanding all their calamities
(Isa 9:13).

11. 如愚蠢的鸽子——鸽子以愚蠢著称：易受欺骗。
无心思——即无理解力。
求告埃及——以色列夹在埃及与亚述两大敌国之间，便轮流求助其一以抗其二。因这预言写于何细亚在位时，所指大概是与梭或萨巴科二世的结盟（此事已在科雍吉克的泥圆柱印章上发现记录），其结果是何细亚倾覆、以色列被掳
（2Ki 17:3-6）。
正如鸽子受惊离开巢窝，反倒落入捕鸟人的网罗，显出其愚昧；照样以色列虽受警戒，明知外邦联盟必成为他们的毁灭，却仍一头扎进去。
英文原文
11. like a silly dove--a bird proverbial for simplicity: easily deceived.
without heart--that is, understanding.
call to Egypt--Israel lying between the two great rival empires Egypt and Assyria, sought each by turns to help her against the other. As this prophecy was written in the reign of Hoshea, the allusion is probably to the alliance with So or Sabacho II (of which a record has been found on the clay cylindrical seals in Koyunjik), which ended in the overthrow of Hoshea and the deportation of Israel
(2Ki 17:3-6).
As the dove betrays its foolishness by fleeing in alarm from its nest only to fall into the net of the fowler, so Israel, though warned that foreign alliances would be their ruin, rushed into them.

12. 他们去的时候——去寻求这个或那个外邦之国的帮助。
我必将我的网撒在他们身上——如撒在地面被捕的鸟身上
（Eze 12:13），
与“把他们摔下来”如“天上的飞鸟”（即借投射之物）相对。
如他们会众所听见的——即借我的先知所听见的，我曾借他们威吓“责罚”
（Ho 5:9; 2Ki 17:13-18）。
英文原文
12. When they shall go--to seek aid from this or that foreign state.
spread my net upon them--as on birds taken on the ground
(Eze 12:13),
as contrasted with "bringing them down" as the "fowls of the heavens," namely, by the use of missiles.
as their congregation hath heard--namely, by My prophets through whom I threatened "chastisement"
(Ho 5:9; 2Ki 17:13-18).

13. 逃离——如鸟离巢
（Pr 27:8; Isa 16:2）。
我——原是既能也愿医治他们的
（Ho 7:1），
只要他们到我面前来。
救赎他们——脱离埃及及其他仇敌
（Mic 6:4）。
谎言——
（Ps 78:36; Jer 3:10）。
他们假装敬拜我，实则一直敬拜偶像
（Ho 7:14; Ho 12:1）；
又抢夺我应得的荣耀，将他们的拯救与其他福气归给偶像【加尔文（CALVIN）】。
英文原文
13. fled--as birds from their nest
(Pr 27:8; Isa 16:2).
me--who both could and would have healed them
(Ho 7:1),
had they applied to Me.
redeemed them--from Egypt and their other enemies
(Mic 6:4).
lies--
(Ps 78:36; Jer 3:10).
Pretending to be My worshippers, when they all the while worshipped idols
(Ho 7:14; Ho 12:1);
also defrauding Me of the glory of their deliverance, and ascribing it and their other blessings to idols [CALVIN].

14. 没有求告我——而是求告别神【毛勒（MAURER）】，
（Job 35:9, 10）。
或作：他们确曾求告我，却不是“用心”求告：正对应“谎言”，
Ho 7:13
（见
Ho 7:13）。
在床上哀号之时——因忧虑而失眠；是深切苦难的写照。他们的呼声被称为“哀号”，因那是痛苦的呼号，不是悔改与信心的呼求。
聚集……为五谷 等——即在偶像的庙中聚集，向它们求得丰收与丰收节，却不来到我这真赐予者面前
（Ho 2:5, 8, 12），
证明他们向神的呼求“不是出于心”。
背叛我——字面作“违背我而退后”，即不仅离开我，更是违背我而背叛。
英文原文
14. not cried unto me--but unto other gods [MAURER],
(Job 35:9, 10).
Or, they did indeed cry unto Me, but not "with their heart": answering to "lies,"
Ho 7:13
(see on
Ho 7:13).
when they howled upon their beds--sleepless with anxiety; image of deep affliction. Their cry is termed "howling," as it is the cry of anguish, not the cry of repentance and faith.
assemble . . . for corn, &c.--namely in the temples of their idols, to obtain from them a good harvest and vintage, instead of coming to Me, the true Giver of these
(Ho 2:5, 8, 12),
proving that their cry to God was "not with their heart."
rebel against me--literally, "withdraw themselves against Me," that is, not only withdraw from Me, but also rebel against Me.

15. 我……使有力——当我看见他们因种种灾祸而双臂似已松弛，我便加以包裹，以增强他们的筋骨；取像于外科手术【加尔文（CALVIN）】。
毛勒（MAURER）译作：“我训导他们”作战
（Ps 18:34; 144:1），
即在耶罗波安二世之时
（2Ki 14:25）。
格劳修斯（GROTIUS）解释为：“无论我责打他们（边注）或坚固他们的膀臂，他们都图谋恶事攻击我。”英文译本为佳。
英文原文
15. I . . . bound--when I saw their arms as it were relaxed with various disasters, I bound them so as to strengthen their sinews; image from surgery [CALVIN]. MAURER translates, "I instructed them" to war
(Ps 18:34; 144:1),
namely, under Jeroboam II
(2Ki 14:25).
GROTIUS explains, "Whether I chastised them (Margin) or strengthened their arms, they imagined mischief against Me." English Version is best.

16. 归回，却不归向至上者——或作“归向一位不是至上者的”，即一位与祂迥异之物——一段木头或一块石头。七十士译本如此。
翻背的弓——
（Ps 78:57）。
因构造有缺陷而射不中目标的弓。照样以色列假装寻求神，却偏向偶像。
因他们舌头的狂妄——指他们自夸借埃及之助可得安全，以及他们的“谎言”
（Ho 7:13）
——表面事奉神，实则拜偶像；又指他们对偶像的顽梗辩护，以及对神与祂先知的亵渎
（Ps 73:9; 120:2, 3）。
在……埃及成为笑谈——他们的“仆倒”必成为埃及所“嗤笑”的话题，因他们曾向埃及求助
（Ho 9:3, 6; 2Ki 17:4）。
英文原文
16. return, but not to the Most High--or, "to one who is not the Most High," one very different from Him, a stock or a stone. So the Septuagint.
deceitful bow--
(Ps 78:57).
A bow which, from its faulty construction, shoots wide of the mark. So Israel pretends to seek God, but turns aside to idols.
for the rage of their tongue--their boast of safety from Egyptian aid, and their "lies"
(Ho 7:13),
whereby they pretended to serve God, while worshipping idols; also their perverse defense for their idolatries and blasphemies against God and His prophets
(Ps 73:9; 120:2, 3).
their derision in . . . Egypt--Their "fall" shall be the subject of "derision" to Egypt, to whom they had applied for help
(Ho 9:3, 6; 2Ki 17:4).
Ho 7:1-16.
对以色列的责备
可能发表在比加死后无王及内乱期间；因为 Ho 7:7 中“他们的王……都仆倒”指的是撒迦利雅、沙龙、米拿现、比加辖、比加的被谋杀。在 Ho 7:8 中，所指的似乎是米拿现向普勒进贡，为稳固他篡位的王位；以及比加与叙利亚利汛结盟；还有在比加死后无王期间何细亚与亚述的勾结【毛勒】。
1. 我想医治以色列——以色列遵神的命令释放了二十万犹太俘虏（代下 28:8-15），这使人盼望以色列的改革【亨德森】。这里指的是政治上以及道德上的医治。当我要医治以色列在灾难中的景况时，他们的罪孽却被发现已经严重到无可挽救。于是他细数他们的恶：“贼闯进来（暗中潜入室内），强盗团伙在外面劫掠（明目张胆地在屋外施暴）。”
