2. 這地方——即猶大。保持獨身的吩咐（無論是按字面遵守，或只在預言異象中）是象徵猶太人將臨的災禍
（Eze 24:15-27）
將如此嚴重，以致獨身狀態在那時（與常理相反）比已婚更為可取（比較
1Co 7:8, 26, 29； Mt 24:19； Lu 23:29）。
英文原文
2. in this place--in Judea. The direction to remain single was (whether literally obeyed, or only in prophetic vision) to symbolize the coming calamities of the Jews
(Eze 24:15-27)
as so severe that the single state would be then (contrary to the ordinary course of things) preferable to the married (compare
1Co 7:8, 26, 29; Mt 24:19; Lu 23:29).

4. 重病——宜作「致命的疾病」
(耶 15:2)。
無人……舉哀——被殺的人如此之多
(耶 22:18)。
糞土——
(詩 83:10)。
英文原文
4. grievous deaths--rather, "deadly diseases"
(Jer 15:2).
not . . . lamented--so many shall be the slain
(Jer 22:18).
dung--
(Ps 83:10).

5.
(結 24:17, 22, 23)。
喪家——
(可 5:38)。
旁註作「喪宴」；這樣的宴席在葬禮中是常見的。希伯來文在
摩 6:7
中意為宴席中的歡呼；此處以及
哀 2:19
中意為悲哀的呼聲。
英文原文
5.
(Eze 24:17, 22, 23).
house of mourning--
(Mr 5:38).
Margin, "mourning-feast"; such feasts were usual at funerals. The Hebrew means, in
Am 6:7,
the cry of joy at a banquet; here, and
La 2:19,
the cry of sorrow.

6. 用刀劃身——表明過度的悲痛
(Jer 41:5；47:5)，
為律法所禁
(Le 19:28)。
光秃——
(Jer 7:29； Isa 22:12)。
英文原文
6. cut themselves--indicating extravagant grief
(Jer 41:5; 47:5),
prohibited by the law
(Le 19:28).
bald--
(Jer 7:29; Isa 22:12).

7. 為他們掰——更當譯作「掰餅」，即在喪宴上所吃的餅（De 26:14；Job 42:11；Eze 24:17；Ho 9:4）。「餅」字當如 La 4:4 般補上；試比較「取」（食物）（Ge 42:33）。
給……安慰之杯……為……父親——東方的習俗是：朋友在喪宴中送食物和酒（「安慰之杯」）來安慰居喪的親屬，例如在「父親」或「母親」去世時送給兒女。
英文原文
7. tear themselves--rather, "break bread," namely, that eaten at the funeral-feast
(De 26:14; Job 42:11; Eze 24:17; Ho 9:4).
"Bread" is to be supplied, as in
La 4:4;
compare "take" (food)
(Ge 42:33).
give . . . cup of consolation . . . for . . . father--It was the Oriental custom for friends to send viands and wine (the "cup of consolation") to console relatives in mourning-feasts, for example, to children upon the death of a "father" or "mother."

8. 宴樂之家——歡樂的：有別於喪宴。不要再與這百姓有任何來往，無論是在哀傷或歡樂的宴席上。
英文原文
8. house of feasting--joyous: as distinguished from mourning-feasts. Have no more to do with this people whether in mourning or joyous feasts.

12. 你們——強調語：你們非但沒有避開你們列祖的壞榜樣，反而行得更糟
(Jer 7:26； 1Ki 14:9)。
妄想——應作「頑梗的悖逆」。
使……不聽從——應與「你們」相連：「你們行事……以致不聽從我。」
英文原文
12. ye--emphatic: so far from avoiding your fathers' bad example, ye have done worse
(Jer 7:26; 1Ki 14:9).
imagination--rather, "stubborn perversity."
that they may not hearken--rather, connected with "ye"; "ye have walked . . . so as not to hearken to Me."

13. 事奉別神——他們在本國的罪，成了被擄時的刑罰。同類的報應：他們在本土自願離棄神而隨從偶像；到了被擄之地，即便他們願意，也不被容許事奉神
(Da 3:12; 6:7)。
晝夜——反諷。你們在那裏可以事奉你們如此狂熱追逐的偶像，直到滿足，毫不間斷。
英文原文
13. serve other gods--That which was their sin in their own land was their punishment in exile. Retribution in kind. They voluntarily forsook God for idols at home; they were not allowed to serve God, if they wished it, in captivity
(Da 3:12; 6:7).
day and night--irony. You may there serve idols, which ye are so mad after, even to satiety, and without intermission.

14. 因此——猶大的奴役將如此嚴重，以致他們從其中得拯救的恩，將大於從埃及出來的恩。此處的安慰是附帶的；主旨是他們刑罰的嚴厲，大到他們從其中獲救，比從埃及獲救更偉大
[CALVIN]；上下文
Jer 16:13, 17, 18，
也證實此點
(Jer 23:7, 8； Isa 43:18)。
英文原文
14. Therefore--So severe shall be the Jews' bondage that their deliverance from it shall be a greater benefit than that out of Egypt. The consolation is incidental here; the prominent thought is the severity of their punishment, so great that their rescue from it will be greater than that from Egypt [CALVIN]; so the context,
Jer 16:13, 17, 18,
proves
(Jer 23:7, 8; Isa 43:18).

15. 北方——指迦勒底。雖然從巴比倫歸回是主要的意思，但此處所預期的完全而最終的應驗，是將來的歸回，正如「從一切地方」所證明的。因為「以色列」在從巴比倫歸回時，除了在極有限的意義上之外，並未「從一切地方被招聚回來」（見
Jer 24:6
的註解；
Jer 30:3；
Jer 32:15）。
英文原文
15. the north--Chaldea. But while the return from Babylon is primarily meant, the return hereafter is the full and final accomplishment contemplated, as "from all the lands" proves. "Israel" was not, save in a very limited sense, "gathered from all the lands" at the return from Babylon (see on
Jer 24:6;
Jer 30:3;
Jer 32:15).

16. 召——譯作「我必打發許多」；「我將使命託付許多人」
(2Ch 17:7)。
漁夫……獵戶——猶大的相繼入侵者
(Am 4:2； Hab 1:14, 15)。
照樣「網」
(Eze 12:13)。
關於「獵戶」，見
Ge 10:9； Mic 7:2。
迦勒底人以狩獵聞名，正如猶大的另一個仇敵埃及人以捕魚聞名。「漁夫」表達他們勝過猶太人之輕易，如同釣客勝過魚；「獵戶」表達他們追蹤猶太人進入每一個洞穴和角落的銳利。值得注意的是，同樣的比喻以好的意義用於猶太人的復興，暗示正如他們的仇敵被神用來對付他們以致毀滅，照樣同樣的也要被用於他們的復興
(Eze 47:9, 10)。
照樣，屬靈上，那些從前按本性是仇敵的人（其中許多字面上是漁夫）被神用作救恩的使者，「得人」如得生命
(Mt 4:19； Lu 5:10； Ac 2:41; 4:4)；
試比較此處
Jer 16:19，
「列國人必來到你那裏」
(2Co 12:16)。
英文原文
16. send for--translate, "I will send many"; "I will give the commission to many"
(2Ch 17:7).
fishers . . . hunters--successive invaders of Judea
(Am 4:2; Hab 1:14, 15).
So "net"
(Eze 12:13).
As to "hunters," see
Ge 10:9; Mic 7:2.
The Chaldees were famous in hunting, as the Egyptians, the other enemy of Judea, were in fishing. "Fishers" expresses the ease of their victory over the Jews as that of the angler over fishes; "hunters," the keenness of their pursuit of them into every cave and nook. It is remarkable, the same image is used in a good sense of the Jews' restoration, implying that just as their enemies were employed by God to take them in hand for destruction, so the same shall be employed for their restoration
(Eze 47:9, 10).
So spiritually, those once enemies by nature (fishermen many of them literally) were employed by God to be heralds of salvation, "catching men" for life
(Mt 4:19; Lu 5:10; Ac 2:41; 4:4);
compare here
Jer 16:19,
"the Gentiles shall come unto thee"
(2Co 12:16).

(Jer 32:19; Pr 5:21; 15:3)。
他們的罪孽——這是神降罰於他們的原因。

(Jer 32:19; Pr 5:21; 15:3).
their iniquity--the cause of God's judgments on them.
18

繁體中文
18. 首……加倍——HORSLEY 譯作：「我必報應……一而再」；直譯為「首災重複」：暗指兩次被擄——巴比倫之擄與羅馬之擄。MAURER 則譯作：「我必報應他們先前的罪孽（即其列祖古時所犯的）以及他們（自己）反覆的罪惡」（耶十六11-12）。
英譯本的譯法意義佳：「首先（在『我使他們再歸回本地』之前），我必加倍（即豐豐足足地，耶十七18；賽四十2）報應。」
屍首——並非馨香的祭物可蒙神悅納，而是獻給偶像的「屍首」，在神為臭味：人為的祭牲
（耶十九5；結十六20），
以及不潔的牲畜
（賽六十五4，六十六17）。
MAURER 解釋為「偶像的屍體」：即偶像無知覺、無生命的像。參耶十六19-20。
利二十六30
支持此說。
英文原文
18. first . . . double--HORSLEY translates, "I will recompense . . . once and again"; literally, "the first time repeated": alluding to the two captivities--the Babylonian and the Roman. MAURER, "I will recompense their former iniquities (those long ago committed by their fathers) and their (own) repeated sins"
(Jer 16:11, 12).
English Version gives a good sense, "First (before 'I bring them again into their land'), I will doubly (that is, fully and amply,
Jer 17:18; Isa 40:2)
recompense."
carcasses--not sweet-smelling sacrifices acceptable to God, but "carcasses" offered to idols, an offensive odor to God: human victims
(Jer 19:5; Eze 16:20),
and unclean animals
(Isa 65:4; 66:17).
MAURER explains it, "the carcasses" of the idols: their images void of sense and life. Compare
Jer 16:19, 20.
Le 26:30
favors this.

19, 20. 神對猶大人施行審判的結果，將是猶大人歸回後以及目睹那些審判的外邦人，都離棄偶像，敬拜耶和華。這事部分應驗於從巴比倫歸回之後——那時猶大人完全離棄了偶像，也有許多歸信者從外邦中被招聚而來——但完全的實現要等到以色列最終的復興
(Isa 2:1-17)。
英文原文
19, 20. The result of God's judgments on the Jews will be that both the Jews when restored, and the Gentiles who have witnessed those judgments, shall renounce idolatry for the worship of Jehovah. Fulfilled partly at the return from Babylon, after which the Jews entirely renounced idols, and many proselytes were gathered in from the Gentiles, but not to be realized in its fulness till the final restoration of Israel
(Isa 2:1-17).

20. 耶利米對偶像的憤慨抗議。
他們……不是神——
(Jer 2:11; Isa 37:19; Ga 4:8)。
「他們」指偶像。一個人（自己也是受造之物）造神，在用語上本身就是矛盾。《武加大譯本》如此理解「他們」：「人豈能造神，雖然人自己也不是神？」
英文原文
20. indignant protest of Jeremiah against idols.
and they (are) no gods--
(Jer 2:11; Isa 37:19; Ga 4:8).
"They" refers to the idols. A man (a creature himself) making God is a contradiction in terms. Vulgate takes "they" thus: "Shall man make gods, though men themselves are not gods?"

21. 因此*——為要使眾人從偶像歸向耶和華，祂如今要在祂所施行的審判中，以可畏的方式證明祂的神聖大能。
這一次——如果我先前所施的刑罰尚不夠嚴厲以教訓他們。
我的名……主——即耶和華
(Ps 83:18)：
神那不可傳通的名，將這名用於偶像就是褻瀆。祂記念祂的威脅和應許
(Ex 6:3)。
英文原文
21. Therefore--In order that all may be turned from idols to Jehovah, He will now give awful proof of His divine power in the judgments He will inflict.
this once--If the punishments I have heretofore inflicted have not been severe enough to teach them.
my name . . . Lord--Jehovah
(Ps 83:18):
God's incommunicable name, to apply which to idols would be blasphemy. Keeping His threats and promises
(Ex 6:3).
Jer 16:1-21.
