第四十八章
17耶和華你的救贖主──以色列的聖者如此說：“我是耶和華你的
神，教訓你使你得益處，引導你所當行的路。18甚願你素來聽從我
的命令，你的平安就如河水，你的公義就如海浪。19你的後裔也必
多如海沙，你腹中所生的必多如沙粒。他的名在我面前必不剪除，
也不滅絕。”20你們要從巴比倫出來，從迦勒底人中逃脫，以歡呼
的聲音傳揚說：“耶和華救贖了他的僕人雅各！”你們要將這事宣
揚到地極。21耶和華引導他們經過沙漠。他們並不乾渴；他為他們
使水從磐石而流，分裂磐石，水就湧出。
22耶和華說：“惡人必不得平安！”

默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

2.在閱讀默想今天的經文時，有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的？當
你讀到這個字或詞句時，你有什麼感受？

3.不全心信靠神的人，他們不單得不到順利，更是沒有平安
（18節）。不願意信靠順服神話語的人，也很容易不聽從
神的命令，因此也就得不到平安。

4.你現在的景況如何？你有平安嗎？神是否呼召你悔改信靠神？
你能夠將生命中的重擔交託給神嗎？還是你有遲疑因為你不肯
定神會幫助你？

禱告與筆錄：繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的
話。將心中的思想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記
簿」上面。

Chapter 48
17 This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you,who directs
you in the way you should go.18 If only you had paid attention to my
commands, your peace would have been like a river,your well-being like
the waves of the sea.19 Your descendants would have been like the sand,
your children like its numberless grains;their name would never be blotted
out nor destroyed from before me.”20 Leave Babylon, flee from the
Babylonians!Announce this with shouts of joy and proclaim it.
Send it out to the ends of the earth; say, “The Lord has redeemed his servant
Jacob.”21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts;
he made water flow for them from the rock;he split the rock and water
gushed out.22 “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”

Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase?

3. The person who fails to trust God’s word completely forfeits more
than comfort. He or she forfeits peace (v18). The person who
abandons confidence in the Word of God will soon abandon God’s
commands as well. He will soon discover that he has no peace.

4. What is your present situation? Do you have peace? Is God calling
you to repent and trust in God? Do you feel capable of releasing all
of your burdens to God or do you hold back because you’re not sure
if he will be there for you?

Prayer & Journaling: Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse
with God and listen to what he wants to tell me. Then write down
any thought and/or prayer in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.

第四十七章
8你這專好宴樂、安然居住的，現在當聽這話。你心中說：‘惟
有我， 除我以外再沒有別的， 我必不至寡居， 也不遭喪子之
事。’9哪知，喪子、寡居這兩件事，在一日轉眼之間必臨到你，
正在你多行邪術、廣施符咒的時候，這兩件事必全然臨到你身上。
10你素來倚仗自己的惡行說：‘無人看見我。’你的智慧聰明使你
偏邪，並且你心裡說：‘惟有我，除我以外再沒有別的。’11因
此，禍患要臨到你身，你不知何時發現（註：“何時發現”或
作“如何驅逐”），災害落在你身上，你也不能除掉，所不知道的
毀滅也必忽然臨到你身。12站起來吧！用你從幼年勞神施行的符咒
和你許多的邪術，或者可得益處，或者可得強勝。13你籌劃太多，
以致疲倦。讓那些觀天象的、看星宿的、在月朔說預言的，都站起
來，救你脫離所要臨到你的事。14他們要像碎秸被火焚燒，不能救
自己脫離火燄之力，這火並非可烤的炭火，也不是可以坐在其前的
火。15 你所勞神的事都要這樣與你無益。從幼年與你貿易的，也都
各奔各鄉，無人救你。”

Chapter 47
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and
saying to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be
a widow or suffer the loss of children.’9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood.They will
come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceriesand all your
potent spells.10 You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, ‘No
one sees me.’Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to
yourself,‘I am, and there is none besides me.’11 Disaster will come upon
you, and you will not know how to conjure it away.A calamity will fall
upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom;a catastrophe you cannot
foresee will suddenly come upon you.12 “Keep on, then, with your magic
spells and with your many sorceries,which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror.13 All the
counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers
come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save you from what is coming upon you.14 Surely they are like
stubble; the fire will burn them up.They cannot even save themselves from
the power of the flame.These are not coals for warmth; this is not a fire to
sit by.15 That is all they are to you—these you have dealt with and labored
with since childhood.All of them go on in their error; there is not one that
can save you.

meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase?

3. In our sophisticated and cynical age, why do you think most major
newspapers faithfully carry astrological information day after day?
Have you ever been drawn to astrology or any other occult practices?
Do you think it is appropriate for Christians to be involved
in these things? Why or why not?

4. What does this passage relate to your current situation? What does
God tell you to do?

第四十六章
1彼勒屈身，尼波彎腰；巴比倫的偶像馱在獸和牲畜上。他們所
抬的如今成了重馱，使牲畜疲乏。2都一同彎腰屈身，不能保全
重馱，自己倒被擄去。3雅各家、以色列家一切餘剩的要聽我
言：“你們自從生下，就蒙我保抱；自從出胎，便蒙我懷搋。4直
到你們年老，我仍這樣；直到你們髮白，我仍懷搋。我已造作，也
必保抱；我必懷抱，也必拯救。5你們將誰與我相比，與我同等，
可以與我比較，使我們相同呢？6那從囊中抓金子、用天平平銀子
的人，雇銀匠製造神像，他們又俯伏又叩拜。7他們將神像抬起，
扛在肩上，安置在定處，它就站立，不離本位。人呼求它，它不能
答應，也不能救人脫離患難。8你們當想念這事，自己作大丈夫。
悖逆的人哪，要心裡思想。9你們要追念上古的事，因為我是神，
並無別神；我是神，再沒有能比我的！

關連 沒有？神想要你做什麼？

3.彼勒與尼波是巴比倫的兩個主要神祗，你是否留意到這兩個偶
像所背負的（1-2節），及主所懷抱的（3-4節）？

4.讀這段經文，留意偶像所背負的重擔，與愛你的天父怎樣的背
負懷抱你；或是神像個強而有力的人在你疲乏困倦的時候，扶
持你；或是像個勇士，當你受困的絕境中來營救你，這時你的
感受是什麼？

5.今天的信息與你目前的情況有什麼關連？神要你做什麼？

Chapter 46
1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low; their idols are borne by beasts of
burden.The images that are carried about are burdensome, a burden for the
weary.2 They stoop and bow down together; unable to rescue the burden,
they themselves go off into captivity.3 “Listen to me, you descendants
of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel,you whom I have upheld
since your birth, and have carried since you were born.4 Even to your old
age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you.I have made you
and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.5 “With whom
will you compare me or count me equal?To whom will you liken me that
we may be compared?6 Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out
silver on the scales;they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they
bow down and worship it.7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they
set it up in its place, and there it stands.From that spot it cannot move.
Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer;it cannot save them
from their troubles.8 “Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you
rebels.9 Remember the former things, those of long ago;I am God, and
there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.

Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage?

3. Bel & Nebo were the names of two principal gods in Babylon. Do
you notice the contrast between the idol’s burdens(verses 1-2) and
the Lord(verses 3-4)?

4. What is your emotion as you read this passage, comparing the burdens
of the idols and God as your father carrying you when you
were weak? Or as a strong man sustaining you when you were
tired? Or as a warrior rescuing you when you were trapped?

5. How is that related to your current situation? What does God tell
you to do?

第四十五章
5我是耶和華，在我以外並沒有別神。除了我以外再沒有神。你雖
不認識我，我必給你束腰。6從日出之地到日落之處，使人都知道
除了我以外，沒有別神。我是耶和華！在我以外並沒有別神。
7我造光，又造暗；我施平安，又降災禍；造作這一切的是我耶和
華。8諸天哪，自上而滴，穹蒼降下公義；地面開裂，產出救恩，
使公義一同發生。這都是我耶和華所造的。9禍哉！那與造他的主
爭論的，他不過是地上瓦片中的一塊瓦片。泥土豈可對摶弄他的
說：‘你做甚麼呢？’所做的物豈可說‘你沒有手’呢？10禍哉！
那對父親說：‘你生的是甚麼呢？’或對母親（註：原文作“婦
人”）說：‘你產的是甚麼呢？’11耶和華以色列的聖者，就是造
就以色列的如此說：將來的事你們可以問我，至於我的眾子，並我
手的工作，你們可以求我命定（註：“求我命定”原文作“吩咐
我”）。12我造地，又造人在地上；我親手鋪張諸天，天上萬象也
是我所命定的。13我憑公義興起塞魯士（註：原文作“他”），又
要修直他一切道路。他必建造我的城，釋放我被擄的民，不是為工
價，也不是為賞賜。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。”

2.在閱讀默想今天的經文時，有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的？

時，你作何想？你是否經常向神抱怨？或是你覺得你不應當向
神埋怨？

神有什麼抱怨？神透過這段經文告訴你當怎樣作？

Chapter 45
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,6 so that
from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there
is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.7 I form the light
and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster;I, the Lord, do
all these things.8 “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the
clouds shower it down.Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let
righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.9 “Woe to those
who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among
the potsherds on the ground.Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you
making?’Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?10 Woe to the
one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’or to a mother, ‘What
have you brought to birth?’11 “This is what the Lord says—the Holy One
of Israel, and its Maker:Concerning things to come, do you question me
about my children,or give me orders about the work of my hands?12 It is
I who made the earth and created mankind on it.My own hands stretched
out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.13 I will raise up Cyrus in
my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight.He will rebuild my
city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, says the Lord
Almighty.”

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage?

3. How do you feel as you read Israel’s complaint, and then God’s
reply? Do you feel free to complain to God. or do you feel like it
isn’t something you should or are allowed to do?

4. When have you complained to God? How did God reply? What
are you complaining to God at present? What does God tell you to
do?

第四十四章
14他砍伐香柏樹，又取柞樹（註：“柞”或作“青桐”）和橡樹，
在樹林中選定了一棵。他栽種松樹，得雨長養。15這樹，人可用以
燒火。他自己取些烤火，又燒著烤餅，而且做神像跪拜，做雕刻的
偶像向它叩拜。16他把一分燒在火中，把一分烤肉吃飽。自己烤火
說：“阿哈！我暖和了！我見火了！”17他用剩下的做了一神，就
是雕刻的偶像。他向這偶像俯伏叩拜，禱告它說：“求你拯救我，
因你是我的神。”18他們不知道，也不思想，因為耶和華閉住他們
的眼，不能看見；塞住他們的心，不能明白。19誰心裡也不醒悟，
也沒有知識，沒有聰明，能說：“我曾拿一分在火中燒了，在炭火
上烤過餅，我也烤過肉吃。這剩下的我豈要做可憎的物嗎？我豈可
向木墩子叩拜呢？”20他以灰為食，心中昏迷，使他偏邪，他不能
自救，也不能說：“我右手中豈不是有虛謊嗎？”

默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

2.在閱讀默想今天的經文時，有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的？當
你讀到這個字或詞句時，你有什麼感受？

3.偶像是什麼？“偶像就是任何取代神坐你生命中的寶座上的東
西” 。如果你說，“若是……能夠……，我的一切就都圓滿
了”，這個人、這件事、或這樣東西就是你的偶像。有時候我
們所擁有的物質、財產、習慣或人，都可能成為我們的偶像。

4.你現在擁有什麼偶像使得你經常在掙扎當中？你是否經歷過跟
隨這些偶像的結果，就像“以灰為食”（20節）一樣的虛空無用？

5.神要你對“拜偶像”的事，該有怎樣的回應？

Chapter 44
14 He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak.He let it grow
among the trees of the forest,or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.
15 It is used as fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself,
he kindles a fire and bakes bread.But he also fashions a god and worships
it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.16 Half of the wood he burns in
the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill.
He also warms himself and says, “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.”
17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships.
He prays to it and says, “Save me! You are my god!”18 They know
nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they
cannot see,and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
19 No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to
say,“Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted
meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left?
Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”20 Such a person feeds on ashes;
a deluded heart misleads him;he cannot save himself, or say, “Is not this
thing in my right hand a lie?”

Meditation

2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase?

3. What is an idol? “An idol is anything less than God that you expect
to save you.” It is anything that takes the place of God on the
throne of your life. If you have anything in your life that you say “if
only this could happen…then everything would be perfect.” That
thing, person, event, ideal, is your idol. With which idols are you
struggling? How have you experienced that following these idols
is nothing but “feeding on ashes”(v20)?

4. What does God tell you to do?

第四十三章
1雅各啊，創造你的耶和華；以色列啊，造成你的那位，現在如此
說：“你不要害怕！因為我救贖了你。我曾提你的名召你，你是屬
我的。2你從水中經過，我必與你同在；你蹚過江河，水必不漫過
你；你從火中行過，必不被燒，火燄也不著在你身上。3因為我是
耶和華你的神，是以色列的聖者，你的救主。我已經使埃及作你的
贖價，使古實和西巴代替你。4因我看你為寶為尊，又因我愛你，
所以我使人代替你，使列邦人替換你的生命。5不要害怕，因我與
你同在！我必領你的後裔從東方來，又從西方招聚你。6我要對北
方說：‘交出來！’對南方說：‘不要拘留！’將我的眾子從遠方
帶來，將我的眾女從地極領回，7就是凡稱為我名下的人，是我為
自己的榮耀創造的，是我所做成、所造作的。”

4.對你來說“你是被神所做成，為神的榮耀而創造的”
（7節）有什麼意義？

5.多讀幾遍第二節，讓經文沉澱在你心中，認識這節經文是神給
你的鼓勵，帶著這樣的認識來向神禱告。

Chapter 43
1 But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; have
summoned you by name; you are mine.2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;and when you pass through the rivers, they will not
sweep over you.When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy
One of Israel, your Savior;I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in
your stead.4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because
I love you,I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for
your life.5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children
from the east and gather you from the west.6 I will say to the north, ‘Give
them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’Bring my sons from
afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—7 everyone who is
called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and
made.”

第四十二章
1“看哪！我的僕人，我所扶持、所揀選、心裡所喜悅的。我已將
我的靈賜給他，他必將公理傳給外邦。2他不喧嚷，不揚聲，也不
使街上聽見他的聲音。3壓傷的蘆葦，他不折斷；將殘的燈火，他
不吹滅。他憑真實將公理傳開。4他不灰心，也不喪膽，直到他在
地上設立公理，海島都等候他的訓誨。”5創造諸天，鋪張穹蒼，
將地和地所出的一併鋪開，賜氣息給地上的眾人，又賜靈性給行
在其上之人的神耶和華，他如此說：6“我耶和華憑公義召你，
必攙扶你的手，保守你，使你作眾民的中保（註：“中保”原文
作“約”），作外邦人的光，7開瞎子的眼，領被囚的出牢獄，領
坐黑暗的出監牢。8我是耶和華，這是我的名。我必不將我的榮耀
歸給假神，也不將我的稱讚歸給雕刻的偶像。9看哪！先前的事已
經成就，現在我將新事說明，這事未發以先，我就說給你們聽。”

默想：
1.這是以賽亞書的四篇僕人詩歌（指向神僕耶穌）的第一篇，這
首詩的部份引用在馬太福音12：18-21中來指向基督。

2.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷

3.在閱讀默想今天的經文時，有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的？

4.這段經文是否讓你對主耶穌有一些新鮮的認識？當你把耶穌看
成一個僕人時，你有什麼感受？這段經文怎樣挑戰你——你的
品格，你的服事？你怎樣效法耶穌僕人的心態？

5.當被人利用的時候，我們心中會深感不平；但耶穌卻是柔和謙
卑的來應對。為什麼這個榜樣很難效法？但為什麼又是非常重

要應當學習的功課？

Chapter42
1 “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight;I
will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.2 He will
not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.3 A bruised reed he will
not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.In faithfulness he
will bring forth justice; 4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes
justice on earth.In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”
5 This is what God the LORD says—the Creator of the heavens, who
stretches them out,who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,
who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:
6 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your
hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives
from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
8 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another
or my praise to idols.9 See, the former things have taken place, and new
things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.”

Meditation
1.This is the first of four Servant songs (that refer to Jesus as the servant)
in Isaiah. This song has been quoted in part in Mt 12:18-21
with reference to Christ.

2.Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate

3.What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage?

4.Does this passage give you a fresh understanding of the Lord Jesus
and all that he went through? How do you feel when you picture
Christ as a servant? In what way does this passage challenge you
– your character, your service? How can you begin imitating Jesus’
servant attitude in your own life?

5.We often have a difficult time knowing how to handle situations
where we are being taken advantage of. Jesus’ example is one of
meekness and humility. Why is this a difficult example to follow?
Why might it be important to do so?

來的，且對你說：‘你是我的僕人’，我揀選你，並不棄絕你。
10你不要害怕，因為我與你同在；不要驚惶，因為我是你的神。我
必堅固你，我必幫助你，我必用我公義的右手扶持你。11凡向你發
怒的必都抱愧蒙羞；與你相爭的必如無有，並要滅亡。12與你爭競
的，你要找他們也找不著；與你爭戰的必如無有，成為虛無。
13因為我耶和華你的神必攙扶你的右手，對你說，不要害怕！我必
幫助你。14你這蟲雅各和你們以色列人，不要害怕！耶和華說，我
必幫助你。”你的救贖主就是以色列的聖者。15“看哪，我已使你
成為有快齒打糧的新器具；你要把山嶺打得粉碎，使岡陵如同糠
秕。16你要把它簸揚，風要吹去，旋風要把它颳散。你倒要以耶和
華為喜樂，以以色列的聖者為誇耀。

Chapter 41
8 “But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen,
you descendants of Abraham my friend,9 I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen
you and have not rejected you.10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be
dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold
you with my righteous right hand.11 “All who rage against you will surely be
ashamed and disgraced;those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.12
Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.Those who wage
war against you will be as nothing at all.13 For I am the Lord your God who
takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.14
Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear,for I myself will help
you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.15 “See, I will
make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth.You will
thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff.16 You will
winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away.
But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel.

第四十章
21你們豈不曾知道嗎？你們豈不曾聽見嗎？從起初豈沒有人告訴你
們嗎？自從立地的根基，你們豈沒有明白嗎？22神坐在地球大圈之
上，地上的居民好像蝗蟲。他鋪張穹蒼如幔子，展開諸天如可住的
帳棚。23他使君王歸於虛無，使地上的審判官成為虛空。24他們是
剛才栽上（註：“剛才”或作“不曾”。下同），剛才種上，根也
剛才扎在地裡；他一吹在其上，便都枯乾，旋風將他們吹去，像碎
秸一樣。25那聖者說：“你們將誰比我，叫他與我相等呢？26你們
向上舉目，看誰創造這萬象，按數目領出，他一一稱其名，因他的
權能，又因他的大能大力，連一個都不缺。”27雅各啊，你為何
說“我的道路向耶和華隱藏”？以色列啊，你為何言“我的冤屈神
並不查問”？28你豈不曾知道嗎？你豈不曾聽見嗎？永在的神耶和
華，創造地極的主，並不疲乏，也不困倦，他的智慧無法測度。
29疲乏的，他賜能力；軟弱的，他加力量。30就是少年人也要疲乏
困倦，強壯的也必全然跌倒；31但那等候耶和華的，必從新得力。
他們必如鷹展翅上騰，他們奔跑卻不困倦，行走卻不疲乏。

The Second Book of Isaiah — Book of Deliverance
Chapter 40
21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from
the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like
a tent to live in.23 He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this
world to nothing.24 No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no
sooner do they take root in the ground,than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
25 “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy
One.26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?He
who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.27
Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel,“My way is hidden from
the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”?28 Do you not know? Have
you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the
earth.He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.30
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;31 but
those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings
like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint.

第四十七章
8你這專好宴樂、安然居住的，現在當聽這話。你心中說：‘惟
有我， 除我以外再沒有別的， 我必不至寡居， 也不遭喪子之
事。’9哪知，喪子、寡居這兩件事，在一日轉眼之間必臨到你，
正在你多行邪術、廣施符咒的時候，這兩件事必全然臨到你身上。
10你素來倚仗自己的惡行說：‘無人看見我。’你的智慧聰明使你
偏邪，並且你心裡說：‘惟有我，除我以外再沒有別的。’11因
此，禍患要臨到你身，你不知何時發現（註：“何時發現”或
作“如何驅逐”），災害落在你身上，你也不能除掉，所不知道的
毀滅也必忽然臨到你身。12站起來吧！用你從幼年勞神施行的符咒
和你許多的邪術，或者可得益處，或者可得強勝。13你籌劃太多，
以致疲倦。讓那些觀天象的、看星宿的、在月朔說預言的，都站起
來，救你脫離所要臨到你的事。14他們要像碎秸被火焚燒，不能救
自己脫離火燄之力，這火並非可烤的炭火，也不是可以坐在其前的
火。15 你所勞神的事都要這樣與你無益。從幼年與你貿易的，也都
各奔各鄉，無人救你。”

Chapter 47
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and
saying to yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be
a widow or suffer the loss of children.’9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood.They will
come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceriesand all your
potent spells.10 You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, ‘No
one sees me.’Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to
yourself,‘I am, and there is none besides me.’11 Disaster will come upon
you, and you will not know how to conjure it away.A calamity will fall
upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom;a catastrophe you cannot
foresee will suddenly come upon you.12 “Keep on, then, with your magic
spells and with your many sorceries,which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror.13 All the
counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers
come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save you from what is coming upon you.14 Surely they are like
stubble; the fire will burn them up.They cannot even save themselves from
the power of the flame.These are not coals for warmth; this is not a fire to
sit by.15 That is all they are to you—these you have dealt with and labored
with since childhood.All of them go on in their error; there is not one that
can save you.

4. What does this passage relate to your current situation? What does
God tell you to do?
