以賽亞書 29:15-17
現代中文譯本(2019)
15 那些向上主隱藏計謀的人要遭殃了!他們在暗中策畫,以為沒有人看見,沒有人曉得他們在做些什麼。
16 他們顛倒是非。到底窯匠重要,或是窯器重要呢?人所造的東西怎能對人說「你並沒有造我」,或說「你不知道你在做些什麼」?
17 正如俗語說:「過些時候,荒地要變成肥田;肥田要變成荒地。」
ESV
15 Ah, you who hide deep from the LORD your counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”
16 You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
17 Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
利巴嫩
先知采用了與三十二章15節相同的自然界逆轉意象,描述那些在《吉加墨斯史詩》與埃及的《溫納蒙故事》以杉木林聞名的利巴嫩山脈,將要成為沃土。迦密的田地反要成為林地。這里表達的是盟約的實現,以及無比的豐饒將要重振以色列的財物。
