Jer 11:1-23.
英文原文
Jer 11:1-23.
EPITOME OF THE COVENANT FOUND IN THE TEMPLE IN JOSIAH'S REIGN. JUDAH'S REVOLT FROM IT, AND GOD'S CONSEQUENT WRATH.

无标题
2. 这约——指耶利米蒙召作先知五年后，大祭司希勒家在圣殿中寻得的律法书
(申 31:26)
(王下 22:8-23:25)。
你们当听——除耶利米外，还有别人要将神的旨意向百姓传明；将律法念给百姓听本是祭司的职责
(玛 2:7)。
英文原文
2. this covenant--alluding to the book of the law
(De 31:26)
found in the temple by Hilkiah the high priest, five years after Jeremiah's call to the prophetic office
(2Ki 22:8-23:25).
Hear ye--Others besides Jeremiah were to promulgate God's will to the people; it was the duty of the priests to read the law to them
(Mal 2:7).

3.
(申 27:26； 加 3:10)。
英文原文
3.
(De 27:26; Ga 3:10).
4
无标题
4. 那日——即"当……的时候"。西奈之约是在出埃及之后一段时间立的，但这两件事联系得如此紧密，以致被看作一件事。
铁炉——
(De 4:20； 1Ki 8:51)。
"炉"表明熬炼之严；"铁"表明其历时之久。那炉是土的，不是铁的
(Ps 12:6)；
而是热度和历时足以熔化铁的炉。神将他们从这样的熬炼中解救出来，更彰显了他们现今的罪。
遵行——即约的话
(Jer 11:3)。
如此，等等——
(Le 26:3, 12)。
英文原文
4. in the day--that is, when. The Sinaitic covenant was made some time after the exodus, but the two events are so connected as to be viewed as one.
iron furnace--
(De 4:20; 1Ki 8:51).
"Furnace" expresses the searching ordeal; "iron," the long duration of it. The furnace was of earth, not of iron
(Ps 12:6);
a furnace, in heat and duration enough to melt even iron. God's deliverance of them from such an ordeal aggravates their present guilt.
do them--namely, the words of the covenant
(Jer 11:3).
so, &c.--
(Le 26:3, 12).
5
无标题
5. 誓——
(Ps 105:9, 10)。
流奶与蜜之地——（参
Nu 14:8)。
正如今日一样——这是从前神领以色列人出埃及时对他们所说结语："顺从……好叫我此时向我列祖所起的誓——赐给，等等——得以成全"[MAURER]。英文译本将这话应用在耶利米时代："你们如今知道，神的应许已经应验"，即在以色列人得迦南一事上。
就这样行了——*希伯来文，阿们。*取自
De 27:15-26。
耶利米借此郑重同意那里所宣布咒诅的公义（参
Jer 11:3)。
英文原文
5. oath--
(Ps 105:9, 10).
a land flowing with milk and honey--(See on
Nu 14:8).
as it is this day--These are the concluding words of God to the Israelites when formerly brought out of Egypt, "Obey . . . that I may at this time make good the promise I made to your fathers, to give," &c. [MAURER]. English Version makes the words apply to Jeremiah's time, "As ye know at this time, that God's promise has been fulfilled," namely, in Israel's acquisition of Canaan.
So be it--Hebrew, Amen. Taken from
De 27:15-26.
Jeremiah hereby solemnly concurs in the justice of the curses pronounced there (see
Jer 11:3).

无标题
6. 耶利米要作一次先知巡行，走遍犹大，到处宣告在殿中所寻得之律法书上的咒诅。
听……行——
(Ro 2:13； Jas 1:22)。
英文原文
6. Jeremiah was to take a prophetic tour throughout Judah, to proclaim everywhere the denunciations in the book of the law found in the temple.
Hear . . . do--
(Ro 2:13; Jas 1:22).

无标题
7. 早早起来——
(Jer 7:13)。
英文原文
7. rising early--
(Jer 7:13).
8
无标题
8. 图谋——更当译作"顽梗"。
必降——"直到今日"
(Jer 11:7)
的话证实英文译本胜过ROSENMULLER的译法："我曾降在他们身上"。
话——威胁
(Jer 11:3； De 27:15-26)。
英文原文
8. imagination--rather, "stubbornness."
will bring--The words, "even unto this day"
(Jer 11:7),
confirm English Version rather than the rendering of ROSENMULLER: "I brought upon them."
words--threats
(Jer 11:3; De 27:15-26).
9
无标题
9. conspiracy（阴谋）——一场针对神、针对约西亚改革之蓄意的联合。他们的拜偶像并非一时冲动的结果
(Ps 83:5; Eze 22:25)。
英文原文
9. conspiracy--a deliberate combination against God and against Josiah's reformation. Their idolatry is not the result of a hasty impulse
(Ps 83:5; Eze 22:25).
11
无标题
11. cry unto me（呼求我）——与"呼求那些神" (Jer 11:12)
相对。
not hearken（不听）——
(Ps 18:41; Pr 1:28; Isa 1:15; Mic 3:4)。
英文原文
11. cry unto me--contrasted with "cry unto the gods,"
(Jer 11:12).
not hearken--
(Ps 18:41; Pr 1:28; Isa 1:15; Mic 3:4).
12
无标题
12. cry unto the gods . . . not save（呼求那些神……不能拯救）——
(De 32:37, 38)。
参本节和
Jer 11:13
开头；
Jer 2:28。
in the time of their trouble（在他们遭难的时候）——即灾祸之时
(Jer 2:27)。
英文原文
12. cry unto the gods . . . not save--
(De 32:37, 38).
Compare this verse and beginning of
Jer 11:13; Jer 2:28.
in the time of their trouble--that is, calamity
(Jer 2:27).
13
无标题
13. shameful thing（可耻之物）——希伯来文作"羞耻"，即偶像，不仅可耻，更是一切可耻之事的本质
(Jer 3:24; Ho 9:10)，
必将羞耻和混乱带到你们自己身上[加尔文（CALVIN）]。
英文原文
13. shameful thing--Hebrew, "shame," namely, the idol, not merely shameful, but the essence of all that is shameful
(Jer 3:24; Ho 9:10),
which will bring shame and confusion on yourselves [CALVIN].
14
无标题
14. 罪恶达到顶点时，就不容再有代求的祷告
(Ex 32:10，
迦勒底译本（Chaldee version）作"停止祷告"；
Jer 7:16; 1Sa 16:1; 15:35; 1Jo 5:16)。
我们的心思当与神在祂一切所行的事上同心，甚至在弃绝被弃绝之人的事上也是。
for their trouble（为他们的患难）——因他们的患难。其他抄本作"在他们遭难的时候"；这是从
Jer 11:12
而来的旁注。
英文原文
14. There is a climax of guilt which admits of no further intercessory prayer
(Ex 32:10,
in the Chaldee version, "leave off praying";
Jer 7:16; 1Sa 16:1; 15:35; 1Jo 5:16).
Our mind should be at one with God in all that He is doing, even in the rejection of the reprobate.
for their trouble--on account of their trouble. Other manuscripts read, "in the time of their trouble;" a gloss from
Jer 11:12.
15
无标题
15. my beloved（我所亲爱的）——我所拣选的子民犹大；这加重了他们的忘恩
(Jer 12:7)。
lewdness with many（行大恶）——
(Eze 16:25)。
宁可译作"那大（或多重）的恶行"；字面意为"那恶行，那多重的"；即他们的偶像崇拜，使他们在殿中对神的敬拜成为嘲弄（参
Jer 7:10; Eze 23:39)
[HENDERSON]。
holy flesh（圣肉）——
(Hag 2:12-14; Tit 1:15)，
即祭物，因犹太人的罪，不再圣，即不再蒙神悦纳。因此他们所倚靠的祭也不再保护他们。犹大被描绘为祭司的妻子，因奸淫失去了在祭肉上的分，却仍同时夸耀自己的特权[HORSLEY]。
when thou doest evil（你行恶时）——字面意为"当你的恶"（来到时）。PISCATOR 译作："当你的灾祸来到（照神的威吓）时，你反倒夸口"（顶撞神，而不自卑）。英文译本（English Version）最佳（参
Pr 2:14)。
英文原文
15. my beloved--My elect people, Judea; this aggravates their ingratitude
(Jer 12:7).
lewdness with many--
(Eze 16:25).
Rather, "that great (or, manifold) enormity"; literally, "the enormity, the manifold"; namely, their idolatry, which made their worship of God in the temple a mockery (compare
Jer 7:10; Eze 23:39)
[HENDERSON].
holy flesh--
(Hag 2:12-14; Tit 1:15),
namely, the sacrifices, which, through the guilt of the Jews, were no longer holy, that is, acceptable to God. The sacrifices on which they relied will, therefore, no longer protect them. Judah is represented as a priest's wife, who, by adultery, has forfeited her share in the flesh of the sacrifices, and yet boasts of her prerogative at the very same time [HORSLEY].
when thou doest evil--literally, "when thy evil" (is at hand). PISCATOR translates, "When thy calamity is at hand (according to God's threats), thou gloriest" (against God, instead of humbling thyself). English Version is best (compare
Pr 2:14).
16
无标题
16. called thy name（起名叫）——使你成为。
olive（青橄榄树）——
(Ps 52:8; Ro 11:17)。
选"橄榄树"代表犹大蒙神白白恩典收纳，其油是丰盛的象征（参
Ps 23:5; 104:15)。
with . . . noise of . . . tumult（用……喧嚷的声音）——或作"当喧嚷的声音"，即入侵军队的喧嚷
(Isa 13:4)
[MAURER]。或宁可译作"用大能声音"，即神的声音，也就是雷；这样就没有隐喻的混乱。被闪电击中的树"点火在其上，枝子被折断"，二者同时发生[HOUBIGANT]。
英文原文
16. called thy name--made thee.
olive--
(Ps 52:8; Ro 11:17).
The "olive" is chosen to represent the adoption of Judah by the free grace of God, as its oil is the image of richness (compare
Ps 23:5; 104:15).
with . . . noise of . . . tumult--or, "at the noise," &c., namely, at the tumult of the invading army
(Isa 13:4)
[MAURER]. Or, rather, "with the sound of a mighty voice," namely, that of God, that is, the thunder; thus there is no confusion of metaphors. The tree stricken with lightning has "fire kindled upon it, and the branches are broken," at one and the same time [HOUBIGANT].
17
无标题
17. that planted thee（栽种你的）——
(Jer 2:21; Isa 5:2)。
against themselves（自害己命）——罪人的罪必归到他自己的头上
(参
Jer 7:19)。
英文原文
17. that planted thee--
(Jer 2:21; Isa 5:2).
against themselves--The sinner's sin is to his own hurt (see on
Jer 7:19).
18
无标题
18, 19. 这里耶利米插入一段，提及亚拿突城同乡谋害他性命的企图。他一点也不晓得，直到耶和华向他指示
(Jer 12:6)。
the Lord . . . thou（耶和华……你）——人称从第三人称变为第二人称，符合先知激动的情绪。
then（那时）——当我身处性命危险之时。
their doings（他们所做的事）——指亚拿突人所做的。他在尚未点名提到他们之前就先提及他们，是由于他的激动。
英文原文
18, 19. Jeremiah here digresses to notice the attempt on his life plotted by his townsmen of Anathoth. He had no suspicion of it, until Jehovah revealed it to him
(Jer 12:6).
the Lord . . . thou--The change of person from the third to the second accords with the excited feelings of the prophet.
then--when I was in peril of my life.
their doings--those of the men of Anathoth. His thus alluding to them, before he has mentioned their name, is due to his excitement.
19
无标题
19. lamb（羊羔）——字面意为"宠物羊羔"，犹太人常在家中饲养，供儿童玩耍；阿拉伯人至今仍如此
(2Sa 12:3)。
谋害先知的竟是他自己亲密的朋友。这话与论到弥赛亚的话完全相同
(Isa 53:7)。
每一位先知和列祖都在自己身上彰显了将来弥赛亚那多方面属性与受苦中的某一面或多面；正如弥赛亚来以后的圣徒所行
(Ga 2:20; Php 3:10; Col 1:24)。
这使先知和列祖都能在经历上更适合为基督作见证。
devices（计谋）——
(Jer 18:18)。
tree with . . . fruit（结果子的树）——字面意为"在它的果子或食物中"，即当它结果之时。这是谚语，表示因果同灭。人是树，他的教导是果子。让我们除灭先知和他的预言；即那些威胁国家要被毁灭、叫他们不悦的预言。参
Mt 7:17，
那里也是指先知和他们的教训。
英文原文
19. lamb--literally, a "pet lamb," such as the Jews often had in their houses, for their children to play with; and the Arabs still have
(2Sa 12:3).
His own familiar friends had plotted against the prophet. The language is exactly the same as that applied to Messiah
(Isa 53:7).
Each prophet and patriarch exemplified in his own person some one feature or more in the manifold attributes and sufferings of the Messiah to come; just as the saints have done since His coming
(Ga 2:20; Php 3:10; Col 1:24).
This adapted both the more experimentally to testify of Christ.
devices--
(Jer 18:18).
tree with . . . fruit--literally, "in its fruit" or "food," that is, when it is in fruit. Proverbial, to express the destruction of cause and effect together. The man is the tree; his teaching, the fruit. Let us destroy the prophet and his prophecies; namely, those threatening destruction to the nation, which offended them. Compare
Mt 7:17,
which also refers to prophets and their doctrines.
20
无标题
20. triest . . . heart（试验……心）——
(Re 2:23)。
revealed（彰显）——交托我的事。耶利米愿报应的不是个人之仇，而是职分上的，且符合神向他启示关于神及其仆人共同仇敌的旨意
(Ps 37:34; 54:7; 112:8; 118:7)。
英文原文
20. triest . . . heart--
(Re 2:23).
revealed--committed my cause. Jeremiah's wish for vengeance was not personal but ministerial, and accorded with God's purpose revealed to him against the enemies alike of God and of His servant
(Ps 37:34; 54:7; 112:8; 118:7).
21
无标题
21. Prophesy not（不要说预言）——
(Isa 30:10; Am 2:12; Mic 2:6)。
耶利米若没有说那些定罪的预言，他们就不会谋害他。没有人比他本城的人更苦毒。比较拿撒勒人对拿撒勒人耶稣的行径
(Lu 4:24-29)。
英文原文
21. Prophesy not--
(Isa 30:10; Am 2:12; Mic 2:6).
If Jeremiah had not uttered his denunciatory predictions, they would not have plotted against him. None were more bitter than his own fellow townsmen. Compare the conduct of the Nazarites towards Jesus of Nazareth
(Lu 4:24-29).
22
无标题
22. 他们谋杀意图的报应必相称；正如弥赛亚的事
(Ps 69:8-28)。
英文原文
22. The retribution of their intended murder shall be in kind; just as in Messiah's case
(Ps 69:8-28).
23
无标题
23.
(Jer 23:12)。
the year of . . . visitation（访问之年）——七十士译本译作"在他们……之年"，即当我在怒中访问他们之时。[JEROME]支持英文译本。"年"常指所定的时期。
英文原文
23.
(Jer 23:12).
the year of . . . visitation--The Septuagint translates, "in the year of their," &c., that is, at the time when I shall visit them in wrath. JEROME supports English Version. "Year" often means a determined time.
耶 11:1-23。
约西亚在位时在圣殿中所寻得之约的概要。犹大背约，以及神因此所发的忿怒。
