2/22 (日)

以賽亞書 51:16-18

現代文譯本(2019)

16 我鋪張天幕,
立下地的根基。
我對耶路撒冷說:你是我的子民!
我向你傳授教誨;
我用手保護你。
17 耶路撒冷啊,醒起來吧!
起來,站直吧!
上主施懲罰的時候,
使你喝烈怒的杯,
你喝過後搖搖晃晃。
18 在你自己的同胞中,
沒有人領導你;
在你自己的同胞中,
也沒有人牽引你。

ESV
16 And I have put my words in your mouth and covered you in the shadow of my hand, establishing the heavens and laying the foundations of the earth, and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17 Wake yourself, wake yourself, stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of his wrath, who have drunk to the dregs the bowl, the cup of staggering.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne; there is none to take her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up.

《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
兒子照顧年邁父母的比喻 在美索不達米亞和以色列,長子都獲分較其余子女更多的家產,為了要在父母老年時提供照顧。這里的比喻顯出耶路撒冷作為母親,在年邁時沒有任何子女可以提供照顧。
