旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第35章

The word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir; prophesy against it
and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
I will turn your towns into ruins and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
"'Because you harbored an ancient hostility and delivered the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their calamity, the time their punishment reached its climax,
therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.
I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and cut off from it all who come and go.
I will fill your mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
I will make you desolate forever; your towns will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
"'Because you have said, "These two nations and countries will be ours and we will take possession of them," even though I the LORD was there,
therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will treat you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
Then you will know that I the LORD have heard all the contemptible things you have said against the mountains of Israel. You said, "They have been laid waste and have been given over to us to devour."
You boasted against me and spoke against me without restraint, and I heard it.
This is what the Sovereign LORD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
Because you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, O Mount Seir, you and all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"
以西结书第卅五章   第 35 章 

  结 35 章 > 西珥山──以东的别称,先知再次对它发预言── 

  35 章 以西结对以东(也叫西珥)发出了另一个预言。 25 章 12 至 14 节是他对以东发的第一个预言。在这个预言中,以西结可能是用以东来代表所有反对神的百姓的国家。第 36 章讲的是以色列将得以复国,而神的敌人以东将成为废墟。 

  结 35:2> 神为何要先知发预言攻击西珥山? 

  35:2 在巴比伦毁灭耶路撒冷的时候,以东向巴比伦提供了帮助,还在毁城之后幸灾乐祸。以东长期敌对神的百姓,导致了神对以东的审判。 

  结 35:6-8> 以其人之道还治其人之身,这正是神对付以东的手法…… 

  35:6-8 以西结的预言针对的不仅是以东人,而且是针对他们的山和地。他们的国界是西珥山。山乃象征着力量和权力,代表了这些傲慢的人。他们自认为作的恶不会被发现。以东复仇的愿望反害了他们自己。他们得到的惩罚刚好是自己急于加给别人的惩罚。神有办法使人自食其果,所以我们在论断别人时必须小心(参太 7:1-2 )。──《灵修版圣经注释》
