以賽亞書 48:1-3
現代文譯本(2019)
1 雅各家的人哪,聽這話吧!
你們是以色列人,
是猶大的子孫。
你們指著上主的名發誓,
說你們敬拜以色列的上帝;
其實你們有口無心,說說而已。
2 你們還自以為是聖城的人民,
所倚賴的是以色列的上帝,
他的名是上主—萬軍的統帥。
3 上主對以色列說:
我早就預言將要發生的事;
一瞬間,我使這些事實現。
ESV
1 Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and who came from the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD and confess the God of Israel, but not in truth or right.
2 For they call themselves after the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the LORD of hosts is his name.
3 “The former things I declared of old; they went out from my mouth, and I announced them; then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
《聖經背景注釋》
這應許的真正應驗,當不限於主前六至五世紀期間,從巴比倫的歸回;盡管那也是應驗的一部分。這應許是由神的兒子在耶路撒冷成就的救贖(路九31;參林前十4、11),如此才可符合這里及相關經文的用語。另參三十五章及四十章3至5節的注釋。
