Isa 24:1-23.
英文原文
Isa 24:1-23.
THE LAST TIMES OF THE WORLD IN GENERAL, AND OF JUDAH AND THE CHURCH IN PARTICULAR.
The four chapters (the twenty-fourth through the twenty-seventh) form one continuous poetical prophecy: descriptive of the dispersion and successive calamities of the Jews
(Isa 24:1-12);
the preaching of the Gospel by the first Hebrew converts throughout the world
(Isa 24:13-16);
the judgments on the adversaries of the Church and its final triumph
(Isa 24:16-23);
thanksgiving for the overthrow of the apostate faction
(Isa 25:1-12),
and establishment of the righteous in lasting peace
(Isa 26:1-21);
judgment on leviathan and entire purgation of the Church
(Isa 27:1-13).
Having treated of the several nations in particular--Babylon, Philistia, Moab, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Edom, and Tyre (the miniature representative of all, as all kingdoms flocked into it)--he passes to the last times of the world at large and of Judah the representative and future head of the churches.
1. the earth--rather, "the land" of Judah (so in
Isa 24:3, 5, 6; Joe 1:2).
The desolation under Nebuchadnezzar prefigured that under Titus.

2. 百姓怎样，祭司也怎样——所有人都要同受同样的灾祸：没有任何受宠的阶层能逃脱（比较
结 7:12, 13； 何 4:9； 启 6:15）。
英文原文
2. as with the people, so with the priest--All alike shall share the same calamity: no favored class shall escape (compare
Eze 7:12, 13; Ho 4:9; Re 6:15).

无标题
4. 世界——指以色列国；如
赛 13:11
的"世界"指巴比伦。
骄傲的——字面为百姓的"高度"：以抽象代具体，即高傲的百姓；连贵族也与众人同遭灾难。
英文原文
4. world--the kingdom of Israel; as in
Isa 13:11,
Babylon.
haughty--literally, "the height" of the people: abstract for concrete, that is, the high people; even the nobles share the general distress.

无标题
5. 地——更确切为"这地"。
被其上的居民污秽——即被无辜之血所污秽
（创 4:11； 民 35:33； 诗 106:38）。
律法……律例……永约——指道德律法、定规的律例，以及原定为神与他们之间永远之约的民族圣约。
英文原文
5. earth--rather, "the land."
defiled under . . . inhabitants--namely, with innocent blood
(Ge 4:11; Nu 35:33; Ps 106:38).
laws . . . ordinance . . . everlasting covenant--The moral laws, positive statutes, and national covenant designed to be for ever between God and them.

6. 地——指这地。
烧毁——即被天上吞噬的烈怒所烧：或从内里[ROSENMULLER]，如
伯 30:30；
或从外，先知眼中浮现的是百姓与其注定荒凉之地一同枯干耗尽的情景[MAURER]（参
珥 1:10, 12）。
英文原文
6. earth--the land.
burned--namely, with the consuming wrath of heaven: either internally, as in
Job 30:30
[ROSENMULLER]; or externally, the prophet has before his eyes the people being consumed with the withering dryness of their doomed land (so
Joe 1:10, 12),
[MAURER].

无标题
7. 哀鸣——因无人饮用[BARNES]。更当为"已变淡而无味"[HORSLEY]。
衰残——因如今无人耕种。
英文原文
7. mourneth--because there are none to drink it [BARNES]. Rather, "is become vapid" [HORSLEY].
languisheth--because there are none to cultivate it now.

注解）。
「椰枣酒」[HORSLEY]。
发苦——因国难之故。
英文原文

strong drink--(See on
Isa 5:11).
"Date wine" [HORSLEY].
bitter--in consequence of the national calamities.
10
无标题
10. 乱堆的城——应译为「荒凉」。耶路撒冷将成为的样子；因其前瞻而被称为此。HORSLEY 译为「城已破败；成了废墟。」
紧闭——因恐惧；或作「被废墟堵塞。」
英文原文
10. city of confusion--rather, "desolation." What Jerusalem would be; by anticipation it is called so. HORSLEY translates, "The city is broken down; it is a ruin."
shut up--through fear; or rather, "choked up by ruins."
11

（赛 16:9）；

Joe 1:5,
written about the same time, resembles this.

英文原文
12. with destruction--rather "crash" [GESENIUS]. "With a great tumult the gate is battered down" [HORSLEY].
13
无标题
13. 这地——犹大。将逗号放在「地」之后，而非「民」之后。「在其中的民（所剩之余民）必像橄榄树被打后的拾取」；如同收摘橄榄时，最高的枝上仍剩少许
（赛 17:5, 6）。
英文原文
13. the land--Judea. Put the comma after "land," not after "people." "There shall be among the people (a remnant left), as the shaking (the after-picking) of an olive tree"; as in gathering olives, a few remain on the highest boughs
(Isa 17:5, 6).

14. 他们——那些剩下的人：余民。
因耶和华的威严……唱歌——为耶和华的良善唱感恩之歌，他如此慈悲地保全了他们。

英文原文
14. They--those who are left: the remnant.
sing for the majesty of the Lord--sing a thanksgiving for the goodness of the Lord, who has so mercifully preserved them.
from the sea--from the distant lands beyond the sea, whither they have escaped.
15
无标题
15. 在火光中——VITRINGA 译为「在洞穴中」。它可否指苦难之火
（彼前 1:7）？
他们当时是被掳之人。火只松开肉体的束缚，而不伤一根头发，如沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌的情形。 LOWTH 读为「在海岛中」
（结 26:18）。
更应将「火」译为「在晨光之地」，即东方，与「海岛」即西方相对[MAURER]。无论你们被分散到何处，东方或西方，都要荣耀主
（玛 1:11）。
英文原文
15. in the fires--VITRINGA translates, "in the caves." Could it mean the fires of affliction
(1Pe 1:7)?
They were exiles at the time. The fires only loose the carnal bonds off the soul, without injuring a hair, as in the case of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. LOWTH reads, in the islands
(Eze 26:18).
Rather translate for "fires," "in the regions of morning light," that is, the east, in antithesis to the "isles of the sea," that is, the west [MAURER]. Wheresoever ye be scattered, east or west, still glorify the Lord
(Mal 1:11).
16
无标题
16. 向神的歌声如大合唱从远方之地一同涌入巴勒斯坦。
荣耀归于义人——歌声的主题
（赛 26:2, 7）。
在被掳之中，在失去圣殿和一切人所珍爱之物时，他们对神的信靠毫不摇动。这些歌唤起往昔的喜乐，使耶路撒冷在现今灾难中发出呼喊：「我的消瘦」。HORSLEY 译为「荣耀归于那位义者」；那么「我的消瘦」表达了他对人性败坏的感受——这败坏使犹太人，「诡诈的人」
（耶 5:11），
钉死了那位义者；以及他义的缺乏——使他需要披戴那位义者的义
（诗 106:15）。
诡诈的人——压迫耶路撒冷、以诡计胜过它的外邦列国（如此
赛 21:2）
[BARNES]。
英文原文
16. Songs to God come in together to Palestine from distant lands, as a grand chorus.
glory to the righteous--the burden of the songs
(Isa 26:2, 7).
Amidst exile, the loss of their temple, and all that is dear to man, their confidence in God is unshaken. These songs recall the joy of other times and draw from Jerusalem in her present calamities, the cry, "My leanness." HORSLEY translates, "glory to the Just One"; then My leanness expresses his sense of man's corruption, which led the Jews, "the treacherous dealers"
(Jer 5:11),
to crucify the Just One; and his deficiency of righteousness which made him need to be clothed with the righteousness of the Just One
(Ps 106:15).
treacherous dealers--the foreign nations that oppress Jerusalem, and overcome it by stratagem (so in
Isa 21:2)
[BARNES].

17. 本节解释
赛 24:16
所说的悲惨。耶利米
（耶 48:43, 44）
使用同样的话。它们是谚语式的；
赛 24:18
表达居民无处安全；若逃脱一种危险，便落入对面另一种更糟的危险
（摩 5:19）。
「恐惧」一语指系有五颜六色羽毛的绳子，在空中挥舞时惊吓野兽入陷阱，或鸟入网罗。HORSLEY 作了关联。先知因那位义者所受的对待而愤慨，便以速临的报应威吓这有罪之地。
英文原文
17. This verse explains the wretchedness spoken of in
Isa 24:16.
Jeremiah
(Jer 48:43, 44)
uses the same words. They are proverbial;
Isa 24:18
expressing that the inhabitants were nowhere safe; if they escaped one danger, they fell into another, and worse, on the opposite side
(Am 5:19).
"Fear" is the term applied to the cords with feathers of all colors which, when fluttered in the air, scare beasts into the pitfall, or birds into the snare. HORSLEY makes the connection. Indignant at the treatment which the Just One received, the prophet threatens the guilty land with instant vengeance.

无标题
*18. 恐惧的响声——为惊起猎物、将其赶入陷阱的呐喊。
天上的窗户……敞开——取自洪水的记载
（Ge 7:11)；
即水闸。照样对背道世界最终的火之审判，也比作洪水
（2Pe 3:5-7)。
英文原文
18. noise of . . . fear--the shout designed to rouse the game and drive it into the pitfall.
windows . . . open--taken from the account of the deluge
(Ge 7:11);
the flood-gates. So the final judgments of fire on the apostate world are compared to the deluge
(2Pe 3:5-7).

*19. 地——那地：取象于地震。
英文原文
19. earth--the land: image from an earthquake.

*20. 如草棚摇幌——（见
Isa 1:8
的注释)。
此处指悬吊的卧榻，以绳索悬于树上，如 NIEBUHR 所述阿拉伯看守田地者所用，以便守望同时免受野兽侵害。译作"如吊床般前后摇摆"——被风吹动。
沉重——如无法抵挡的重担。
不再起——不是指它永不再起
（Isa 24:23)，
而是指在那些震动中它必不再起，必倒塌。
英文原文
20. removed like a cottage--(See on
Isa 1:8).
Here, a hanging couch, suspended from the trees by cords, such as NIEBUHR describes the Arab keepers of lands as having, to enable them to keep watch, and at the same time to be secure from wild beasts. Translate, "Shall wave to and fro like a hammock" swung about by the wind.
heavy upon it--like an overwhelming burden.
not rise again--not meaning, that it never would rise
(Isa 24:23),
but in those convulsions it would not rise, it would surely fall.
21
无标题
21. 高处的众军——天上的众军，即或者天上可见的众军*（如今自然界秩序——受日月星辰这些偶像之物影响——被废除，
Isa 65:17; 60:19，
与人之腐败政体同步）；更恰当作"这世界幽暗的看不见的执政者"，如与"地上的君王"对比所示。而且天使仿佛管理世界之各国
（Da 10:13, 20, 21)。
英文原文
21. host of . . . high ones--the heavenly host, that is, either the visible host of heaven (the present economy of nature, affected by the sun, moon, and stars, the objects of idolatry, being abolished,
Isa 65:17; 60:19,
simultaneously with the corrupt polity of men); or rather, "the invisible rulers of the darkness of this world," as the antithesis to "kings of the earth" shows. Angels, moreover, preside, as it were, over kingdoms of the world
(Da 10:13, 20, 21).
22
无标题
22. 在坑中——更恰当作"为那坑" [HORSLEY]。"在地牢*中" [MAURER]。取象于被一同塞入地牢的俘虏。
监狱——即如监狱中一般。这为有争议的经文
1Pe 3:19
提供了亮光，那里监狱也是比喻：犹太人在尼布甲尼撒之下被困于耶路撒冷，其后又在提多之下，将来必有"多日之后"怜悯的眷顾——前者情形是七十年——后者情形时间尚未满。HORSLEY 取"眷顾"为贬义，即在怒中，如
Isa 26:14；
参见
Isa 29:6；
刑罚因迟延而更重。大概有双重眷顾之意：对选民是拯救，对刚硬的不信者是烈怒；如
Isa 24:23
明明 contemplation 对骄傲罪人的审判，以"日头"和"月亮"为象征。
英文原文
22. in the pit--rather, "for the pit" [HORSLEY]. "In the dungeon" [MAURER]. Image from captives thrust together into a dungeon.
prison--that is, as in a prison. This sheds light on the disputed passage,
1Pe 3:19,
where also the prison is figurative: The "shutting up" of the Jews in Jerusalem under Nebuchadnezzar, and again under Titus, was to be followed by a visitation of mercy "after many days"--seventy years in the case of the former--the time is not yet elapsed in the case of the latter. HORSLEY takes "visited" in a bad sense, namely, in wrath, as in
Isa 26:14;
compare
Isa 29:6;
the punishment being the heavier in the fact of the delay. Probably a double visitation is intended, deliverance to the elect, wrath to hardened unbelievers; as
Isa 24:23
plainly contemplates judgments on proud sinners, symbolized by the "sun" and "moon."

（Jer 3:17)。

他的圣者——祂百姓的长老；或泛指祂古时的百姓——犹太人。世上列国被推翻之后，耶和华的国将以前一秩序下日月之光所不及的辉煌被建立

赛 24:1-23。
论世界末后之事总论，并论犹大与教会之事特论。
这四章（第二十四至二十七章）构成一篇连贯的诗歌预言：描述犹太人的分散与相继的灾祸
（赛 24:1-12）；

（赛 24:13-16）；

（赛 24:16-23）；
为叛教派系之倾覆而感恩
（赛 25:1-12），
并使义人立于长久的平安之中
（赛 26:1-21）；
对利维坦的审判以及教会的彻底洁净
（赛 27:1-13）。
先知既已论及各别民族——巴比伦、非利士、摩押、叙利亚、以色列、埃及、以东和推罗（推罗是这一切的缩影代表，因为万国都云集其中）——他便进而论到普世的末后之事，以及作为众教会代表与未来之首的犹大。
1. 地——更准确地说，应指犹大之"地"（如
赛 24:3, 5, 6； 珥 1:2
所指）。尼布甲尼撒手下的荒凉预表了提多手下的荒凉。
