2. 與
Mic 4:1
相同。
彌迦在約坦在位時說預言，以賽亞在烏西雅在位時說預言，彌迦依賴以賽亞並加以印證：而非相反。HENGSTENBERG 以微弱的理由認定
Mic 4:1
為原文。
last days——即彌賽亞的日子：特別指將要來到的日子，也是一切預言所奔赴的日子——那時「雅各神的殿」，即在耶路撒冷的，將成為歸信之列國匯聚的中心
(Mt 13:32; Lu 2:31, 32; Ac 1:6, 7);
其中「國度」——以色列的國——被視為確定，唯獨「時間」不確
(Ps 68:15, 16; 72:8, 11).
mountain of the Lord's house . . . in the top, &c.——摩利亞山上的聖殿：福音的預表，始於耶路撒冷，如同一件置於最高山上的物件，如此矚目，以致萬國都被吸引而來。
flow——如一條寬闊的河流
(Isa 66:12).
英文原文
2. Same as
Mic 4:1.
As Micah prophesied in Jotham's reign, and Isaiah in Uzziah's, Micah rests on Isaiah, whom he confirms: not vice versa. HENGSTENBERG on slight grounds makes
Mic 4:1
the original.
last days--that is, Messiah's: especially the days yet to come, to which all prophecy hastens, when "the house of the God of Jacob," namely, at Jerusalem, shall be the center to which the converted nations shall flock together
(Mt 13:32; Lu 2:31, 32; Ac 1:6, 7);
where "the kingdom" of Israel is regarded as certain and the time alone uncertain
(Ps 68:15, 16; 72:8, 11).
mountain of the Lord's house . . . in the top, &c.--the temple on Mount Moriah: type of the Gospel, beginning at Jerusalem, and, like an object set on the highest hill, made so conspicuous that all nations are attracted to it.
flow--as a broad stream
(Isa 66:12).

3. 若預告以色列的咒詛已按字面應驗，應許的福分也必按字面應驗。我們外邦人既將咒詛加於他們，便不可因其屬靈化而否認他們獨特的福分。到那時，聖靈必澆灌下來，帶來普遍的歸信
(Jer 50:5; Zec 8:21, 23; Joe 2:28).
from Jerusalem——
(Lu 24:47)
是耶路撒冷與基督教世界未來關係的預嘗
(Ro 11:12, 15).
英文原文
3. If the curse foretold against Israel has been literally fulfilled, so shall the promised blessing be literal. We Gentiles must not, while giving them the curse, deny them their peculiar blessing by spiritualizing it. The Holy Ghost shall be poured out for a general conversion then
(Jer 50:5; Zec 8:21, 23; Joe 2:28).
from Jerusalem--
(Lu 24:47)
an earnest of the future relations of Jerusalem to Christendom
(Ro 11:12, 15).

4. judge——如君王般的仲裁者，裁斷一切爭端（比較
Isa 11:4).
LOWTH 譯「作為」，「定罪」。
plowshares——東方的犁鏵形似短劍
(Isa 9:6, 7;
Zec 9:10).
英文原文
4. judge--as a sovereign umpire, settling all controversies (compare
Isa 11:4).
LOWTH translates "work," "conviction."
plowshares--in the East resembling a short sword
(Isa 9:6, 7; Zec 9:10).

5. 此處的關聯是：以色列崇高的命定是成為萬國的祝福
(Ge 12:3),
因此以色列的子孫當行事與這恩召相稱
(Eph 5:8).
英文原文
5. The connection is: As Israel's high destiny is to be a blessing to all nations
(Ge 12:3),
let Israel's children walk worthy of it
(Eph 5:8).

6. Therefore——不如作「因為」：說明更有必要發出
Isa 2:5
勸勉的理由。
thou——轉向耶和華：這樣的快速轉換，當心中充滿一個主題時是自然的。
replenished——不如作充滿了，即充滿了東方、敘利亞和迦勒底的迷信。
soothsayers——被禁止的
(De 18:10-14).
Philistines——在巴勒斯坦西南：與「東方」相對。
please themselves——不如作攜手，即結盟——婚姻的和國家的：被禁止的
(Ex 23:32;
Ne 13:23,
等等）。
英文原文
6. Therefore--rather, "For": reasons why there is the more need of the exhortation in
Isa 2:5.
thou--transition to Jehovah: such rapid transitions are natural, when the mind is full of a subject.
replenished--rather, filled, namely, with the superstitions of the East, Syria, and Chaldea.
soothsayers--forbidden
(De 18:10-14).
Philistines--southwest of Palestine: antithesis to "the east."
please themselves--rather, join hands with, that is, enter into alliances, matrimonial and national: forbidden
(Ex 23:32; Ne 13:23,
&c.).

7. gold——禁止囤積
(De 17:17).
所羅門違背了
(1Ki 10:21, 27).
horses . . . chariots——被禁止
(De 17:16).
但所羅門違背了
(1Ki 20:26).
馬在埃及的平原上可以有效用於戰爭；在多山的猶大則不然。神定意要以色列與埃及人之間有盡可能大的區別。祂要祂的百姓完全倚靠祂，而不是倚靠一般的戰爭手段
(Ps 20:7).
馬也與拜偶像有關
(2Ki 23:11);
因此祂的反對：所以過渡到「偶像」
(Isa 2:8)
是自然的。
英文原文
7. gold--forbidden to be heaped together
(De 17:17).
Solomon disobeyed
(1Ki 10:21, 27).
horses . . . chariots--forbidden
(De 17:16).
But Solomon disobeyed
(1Ki 20:26).
Horses could be used effectively for war in the plains of Egypt; not so in the hilly Judea. God designed there should be as wide as possible a distinction between Israel and the Egyptians. He would have His people wholly dependent on Him, rather than on the ordinary means of warfare
(Ps 20:7).
Also horses were connected with idolatry
(2Ki 23:11);
hence His objection: so the transition to "idols"
(Isa 2:8)
is natural.

(Ho 8:4)。
這不是指公開的拜偶像，因為在烏西雅與約坦年間這並未被認可，而是指（見
2Ki 15:4, 35）
私下的拜偶像。
英文原文
8.
(Ho 8:4).
Not so much public idolatry, which was not sanctioned in Uzziah's and Jotham's reign, but (see
2Ki 15:4, 35)
as private.

9. mean——指地位卑賤：不是指道德上卑鄙：與「大人」相對。前者希伯來文為 Adam，後者為 ish。
boweth——即向偶像叩拜。各階層的人都拜偶像。
forgive . . . not——以命令式表達的威脅。以賽亞與神的旨意如此認同，以致他求他所知神所定意的事。如
Re 18:6。
英文原文
9. mean--in rank: not morally base: opposed to "the great man." The former is in Hebrew, Adam, the latter, ish.
boweth--namely, to idols. All ranks were idolaters.
forgive . . . not--a threat expressed by an imperative. Isaiah so identifies himself with God's will, that he prays for that which he knows God purposes. So
Re 18:6.

10. 以詩歌形式表達：他們的罪既如此，必被神的審判所迫，尋求避難所躲避祂的忿怒
(Re 6:15, 16)。
dust——等於「地的洞穴」，或塵土
(Isa 2:19)。
for fear 等——字面意思是「從耶和華驚嚇的面前」。
英文原文
10. Poetical form of expressing that, such were their sins, they would be obliged by God's judgments to seek a hiding-place from His wrath
(Re 6:15, 16).
dust--equivalent to "caves of the earth," or dust
(Isa 2:19).
for fear, &c.--literally, "from the face of the terror of the Lord."

11. lofty looks——字面意思是「驕傲的眼」
(Ps 18:27)。
humbled——被災禍降卑。神在那審判的「日子」必如此為自己的尊榮伸霒，以致沒有別人「被高舉」
(Zec 14:9)。
英文原文
11. lofty looks--literally, "eyes of pride"
(Ps 18:27).
humbled--by calamities. God will so vindicate His honor "in that day" of judgments, that none else "shall be exalted"
(Zec 14:9).

12. 人已有許多日子：「耶和華的日子」至終要來到，從審判開始，是一個無盡的日子，在其中神將「在萬有之上，為萬有之主」
(1Co 15:28; 2Pe 3:10)。
every——不僅是人，如英文譯本所解釋的，而是國家所誇口的每一樣事物。
英文原文
12. Man has had many days: "the day of the Lord" shall come at last, beginning with judgment, a never-ending day in which God shall be "all in all"
(1Co 15:28; 2Pe 3:10).
every--not merely person, as English Version explains it, but every thing on which the nation prided itself.

13. 香柏樹……橡樹——驕傲的貴胄與君王的比喻
（摩 2:9； 亞 11:1、2；
參
啟 19:18-21）。
巴珊——約但河以東、雅博河以北之地，以優質橡樹、牧場和牲畜聞名。「橡樹」或許暗指他們的偶像崇拜
（賽 1:29）。
英文原文
13. cedars . . . oaks--image for haughty nobles and princes
(Am 2:9; Zec 11:1, 2;
compare
Re 19:18-21).
Bashan--east of Jordan, north of the river Jabbok, famous for fine oaks, pasture, and cattle. Perhaps in "oaks" there is reference to their idolatry
(Isa 1:29).

14. 高……山嶺——指那些違法獻祭的「高處」，甚至在烏西雅（即亞撒利雅）年間仍有
（王下 15:4）。
也是堅固之處，他們所倚靠的堡壘，而非倚靠神；故此
英文原文
14. high . . . hills--referring to the "high places" on which sacrifices were unlawfully offered, even in Uzziah's (equivalent to Azariah) reign
(2Ki 15:4).
Also, places of strength, fastnesses in which they trusted, rather than in God; so

16. 他施——西班牙西南部的塔特蘇斯，在瓜達爾基維爾河口，近直布羅陀。包括鄰近地區：為腓尼基的殖民地；因此與巴勒斯坦和聖經有關
（代下 9:21）。
這名字也廣義地用以指極西之地，如我們的西印度群島
（賽 66:19； 詩 48:7，72:10）。
「他施的船隻」成為滿載貴重貨物且遠航船隻的代名詞。審判要臨到一切供應人奢華之物（參
啟 18:17-19）。
圖畫——被命毀除
（民 33:52）。
在尼尼微宮殿的牆上仍可見到。值得注意的是，所有其他古代文明國家——埃及、亞述、希臘、羅馬——都在美術方面留下紀念物，而猶太雖然在擁有「活的聖言」上遠超他們，卻沒有留下前者那樣的紀念。美術，如同在現代羅馬一樣，常與多神教相連，因此神要求祂的百姓在這方面也如在其他方面一樣，與列國分別出來
（申 4:15-18）。
但武加大譯本的翻譯或許更好：「一切美觀之物」；不僅是畫，也包括一切奢華的裝飾。一個涵蓋前面一切的綜合詞（參
啟 18:12、14、16）。
英文原文
16. Tarshish--Tartessus in southwest Spain, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, near Gibraltar. It includes the adjoining region: a Phœnician colony; hence its connection with Palestine and the Bible
(2Ch 9:21).
The name was also used in a wide sense for the farthest west, as our West Indies
(Isa 66:19; Ps 48:7; 72:10).
"Ships of Tarshish" became a phrase for richly laden and far-voyaging vessels. The judgment shall be on all that minister to man's luxury (compare
Re 18:17-19).
pictures--ordered to be destroyed
(Nu 33:52).
Still to be seen on the walls of Nineveh's palaces. It is remarkable that whereas all other ancient civilized nations, Egypt, Assyria, Greece, Rome, have left monuments in the fine arts, Judea, while rising immeasurably above them in the possession of "the living oracles," has left none of the former. The fine arts, as in modern Rome, were so often associated with polytheism, that God required His people in this, as in other respects, to be separate from the nations
(De 4:15-18).
But Vulgate translation is perhaps better, "All that is beautiful to the sight"; not only paintings, but all luxurious ornaments. One comprehensive word for all that goes before (compare
Re 18:12, 14, 16).

18. 偶像——希伯來文作「虛無之物」、「無有」
（林前 8:4）。
字面應驗了。巴比倫之擄以前，猶太人最易陷入偶像崇拜；此後再無一次。關於未來的應驗，見
亞 13:2； 啟 13:15，19:20。
英文原文
18. idols--literally, "vain things," "nothings"
(1Co 8:4).
Fulfilled to the letter. Before the Babylonian captivity the Jews were most prone to idolatry; in no instance, ever since. For the future fulfilment, see
Zec 13:2; Re 13:15; 19:20.

（賽 2:10）。
他們——拜偶像的人。
洞——猶太這多山之地多有；警報時的藏身之處
（撒上 13:6）。
震動……地——以及天
（來 12:26）。
比喻嚴厲而普遍的審判。
英文原文
19. The fulfilment answers exactly to the threat
(Isa 2:10).
they--the idol-worshippers.
caves--abounding in Judea, a hilly country; hiding-places in times of alarm
(1Sa 13:6).
shake . . . earth--and the heavens also
(Heb 12:26).
Figure for severe and universal judgments.

(詩 146:3-5)。

22. The high ones
(Isa 2:11, 13)
on whom the people trust, shall be "brought low"
