旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第13章

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
以西结书第十三章   第 13 章 

  结 13 章 > 说假话的人并不使人反感,古已有之,今日亦存在…… 

  13 章 这个警告是针对假先知的。假先知的信息不是来自神,而是为了赢得名声而编出的顺耳的谎言。假先知对以西结讲的真理并不在意。他们让百姓有虚假的安全感,并使以西结的工作更加困难。要小心那些为得到个人权势和名誉而歪曲真理的人。 

  结 13:10-12> “粉饰”这个词,竟与假先知的做法不谋而合── 

  13:10-12 这些假先知掩盖了他们的罪(一堵“要塌的墙”,刷上了“白灰”来粉饰表面)。但人的作为都逃不脱神那连心中意念和打算都能辨明的眼睛。 

  结 13:17> 这些说预言的女人是先知吗? 

  13:17 在圣经中,作先知的恩赐给男人也给女人。米利暗(参出 5:20 )、底波拉(参士 4:4 )和户勒大(参王下 22:14 )都是女先知。但这里提到的女人却更像撒母耳记上 28 章 7 节中的女巫,她们因使义人伤心而遭到了谴责( 13:22 )。 

  结 13:18> 这些女人玩的是什么把戏? 

  13:18 这些魔术的手法和掩饰物常被用在行巫术的法术中。这些东西被宣传为“好运魔力”,但实际上是用来诱使百姓去拜偶像。──《灵修版圣经注释》
