2. 客店——是为沙漠中旅行的商队或人群设的客栈，远离城镇。它是一座方形建筑，中间围着一个开放的天井。虽是荒凉而往往污秽的住处，耶利米宁愿选择它，也不愿享受耶路撒冷的安逸，为要离开首都的污秽
(诗 55:7, 8)。
英文原文
2. lodging-place--a caravanseral for caravans, or companies travelling in the desert, remote from towns. It was a square building enclosing an open court. Though a lonely and often filthy dwelling, Jeremiah would prefer even it to the comforts of Jerusalem, so as to be removed from the pollutions of the capital
(Ps 55:7, 8).

3. 弯起……舌头……说谎——即以谎言为箭；他们将舌头如弓，瞄准谎言

不认识我——
(何 4:1)。

(Ps 64:3, 4).
not valiant for . . . truth--
(Jer 7:28).
MAURER translates, "They do not prevail by truth" or faith
(Ps 12:4).
Their tongue, not faith, is their weapon.
upon . . . earth--rather, "in the land."
know not me--
(Ho 4:1).

10. 耶利米插话，为荒凉的本国哀伤，打断了耶和华发怒的威吓。
mountains（山岭）——曾经开垦结实：山坡在岩石之间被辟为梯田耕种。
habitations of . . . wilderness（旷野的居所）——宁可译作"牧场平原上佳美的草（字面意为任何东西的"上等部分"）"。希伯来文的"旷野"并非指不毛的沙漠，而是指未经开垦、适宜放牧的平原。
burned up（烧尽）——因为无人浇灌，居民都已离去。
none can pass through them（无人能经过）——更遑论居住其中了。
fowl（飞鸟）——
(Jer 4:25)。
英文原文
10. Jeremiah breaks in upon Jehovah's threats of wrath with lamentation for his desolated country.
mountains--once cultivated and fruitful: the hillsides were cultivated in terraces between the rocks.
habitations of . . . wilderness--rather, "the pleasant herbage (literally, 'the choice parts' of any thing) of the pasture plain." The Hebrew for "wilderness" expresses not a barren desert, but an untilled plain, fit for pasture.
burned up--because no one waters them, the inhabitants being all gone.
none can pass through them--much less inhabit them.
fowl--
(Jer 4:25).

英文原文
12. Rather, "Who is a wise man? (that is, Whosoever has inspired wisdom,
2Pe 3:15);
let him understand this (weigh well the evils impending, and the causes of their being sent); and he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken (that is, whosoever is prophetically inspired), let him declare it to his fellow countrymen," if haply they may be roused to repentance, the only hope of safety.

20. Yet（然而）——宁作"只是" [HENDERSON]。这质词提醒人留意以下的话。
teach . . . daughters wailing（教导……女儿举哀）——死亡的人如此之多，以至哀哭的妇女不够用。因此母亲们必须教导女儿这门技艺，以补不足。
英文原文
20. Yet--rather, "Only" [HENDERSON]. This particle calls attention to what follows.
teach . . . daughters wailing--The deaths will be so many that there will be a lack of mourning women to bewail them. The mothers, therefore, must teach their daughters the science to supply the want.

dung（粪土）——
(Jer 8:2)。
handful . . . none . . . gather them（一把……无人……拾取）——含意是这一把已被践踏得连穷苦的拾穗者也不值得费力拾取。或指东方习俗：收割的割下谷物，后面另有一人拾取。这谷物不值得拾取。犹太人的骄傲何等受挫，竟听见他们的尸首也必如此被人轻蔑践踏！
英文原文
22. saith the Lord--continuing the thread of discourse from
Jer 9:20.
dung--
(Jer 8:2).
handful . . . none . . . gather them--implying that the handful has been so trodden as to be not worth even the poor gleaner's effort to gather it. Or the Eastern custom may be referred to: the reaper cuts the grain and is followed by another who gathers it. This grain shall not be worth gathering. How galling to the pride of the Jews to hear that so shall their carcasses be trodden contemptuously under foot!

loving kindness（慈爱）——神的怜悯被置于首位最高的地位，因为没有它，我们必因惧怕绝望而逃避神。
judgment . . . righteousness（公平……公义）——向敬虔之人施慈爱；向不敬虔之人施公平；公义是在一切事上最完全的公正 [GROTIUS]。对他应许的信实，保全敬虔人，以及对不敬虔之人严厉地执行审判，都包括在"公义"之内。
in the earth（在地上）——与某些哲学家的教条相反，他们以为神不干预地上的事
(Ps 58:11)。
in these . . . I delight（这些事上……我喜悦）——既喜悦自己行，也喜悦看见别人行
(Mic 6:8; 7:18)。
英文原文
24. Nothing but an experimental knowledge of God will save the nation.
understandeth--theoretically; in the intellect.
knoweth--practically: so as to walk in My ways

loving kindness--God's mercy is put in the first and highest place, because without it we should flee from God in fear and despair.
judgment . . . righteousness--loving-kindness towards the godly; judgment towards the ungodly; righteousness the most perfect fairness in all cases [GROTIUS]. Faithfulness to His promises to preserve the godly, as well as stern execution of judgment on the ungodly, is included in "righteousness."
in the earth--contrary to the dogma of some philosophers, that God does not interfere in terrestrial concerns
(Ps 58:11).
in these . . . I delight--as well in doing them as in seeing them done by others
(Mic 6:8; 7:18).
25

简体中文
25. with the uncircumcised（未受割礼的人中）——宁作"一切在未受割礼中受割礼的" [HENDERSON]。
希伯来文是抽象词，不是具体词，不像英文译本所译，也不像敬虔的"受割礼之人"那样。所列的各国——埃及、犹大等——外面"受割礼"，但心中"未受割礼"。外邦列国尽管按字面受了割礼，却因偶像崇拜而不洁。犹太人尽管以其属灵特权为夸口，也并不更好
(Jer 4:4; De 10:16; 30:6; Ro 2:28, 29; Col 2:11)。
然而，
Eze 31:18; 32:19
可能暗示埃及人未受割礼；至于所列其他各国，那时是否受割礼也不确定。[HERODOTUS]说埃及人受了；但有人认为这只适用于祭司和其他有圣职的人，不适用于全国大多数人；所以英文译本可能是对的
(Ro 2:28, 29)。
英文原文
25. with the uncircumcised--rather, "all that are circumcised in uncircumcision" [HENDERSON]. The Hebrew is an abstract term, not a concrete, as English Version translates, and as the pious "circumcised" is. The nations specified, Egypt, Judah, &c., were outwardly "circumcised," but in heart were "uncircumcised." The heathen nations were defiled, in spite of their literal circumcision, by idolatry. The Jews, with all their glorying in their spiritual privileges, were no better
(Jer 4:4; De 10:16; 30:6; Ro 2:28, 29; Col 2:11).
However,
Eze 31:18; 32:19,
may imply that the Egyptians were uncircumcised; and it is uncertain as to the other nations specified whether they were at that early time circumcised. HERODOTUS says the Egyptians were so; but others think this applies only to the priests and others having a sacred character, not to the mass of the nation; so English Version may be right
(Ro 2:28, 29).

简体中文
26. Egypt——列于首位，为要贬抑犹大；她虽在特权上高于外邦人，却因不忠而沉沦到他们之下。埃及也是犹太人易于倚靠的势力，也是在其煽动下，他们与其余所列诸民一同背叛巴比伦。
in the utmost corners——应作"having the hair shaven (or clipped) in angles"（在角落剃〔或修剪〕头发的），即把颊上的须窄化或剪去：这是迦南人的习俗，为以色列人所禁
(Le 19:27；21:5)。
此处所指的乃是阿拉伯人（参
Jer 25:23；49:32)，
正如同位语"那住在旷野的"所表明。
uncircumcised . . . uncircumcised in the heart——在以色列的情形中加上"在心里"，标志着与其余的人相比，她的特权越大，罪责也越大。
英文原文
26. Egypt--put first to degrade Judah, who, though in privileges above the Gentiles, by unfaithfulness sank below them. Egypt, too, was the power in which the Jews were so prone to trust, and by whose instigation they, as well as the other peoples specified, revolted from Babylon.
in the utmost corners--rather, "having the hair shaven (or clipped) in angles," that is, having the beard on the cheek narrowed or cut: a Canaanitish custom, forbidden to the Israelites
(Le 19:27; 21:5).
The Arabs are hereby referred to (compare
Jer 25:23; 49:32),
as the words in apposition show, "that dwell in the wilderness."
uncircumcised . . . uncircumcised in the heart--The addition of "in the heart" in Israel's case marks its greater guilt in proportion to its greater privileges, as compared with the rest.
耶 9:1-26。
耶利米为犹太人的罪及其后果所发的哀歌。
1. 本节更宜与上一章相连，因希伯来文中本节算作上一章的第二十三节（试将
赛 22:4； 哀 2:11；3:48
相比较）。
