耶利米書 1:18-19
現代文譯本(2019)
耶利米呀,你聽!猶大全國上下—君王、官長、祭司,和人民都要攻擊你。但是,我今天要賜給你力量抵抗他們;你會像堡壘、鐵柱、銅牆一樣堅強。他們不能擊敗你;因為我與你同在,要解救你。我—上主這樣宣布了。」
ESV
18 And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.
19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the LORD, to deliver you.”
《聖經背景注釋》
鐵柱和銅墻的象喻 鐵和銅在很多經文之中,都是力量的象征(見:賽四十五2)。巴拉瓦特挖掘到亞述人所造的銅制城門。在堅強的城墻之上這種門是一種裝飾。埃及的杜得模斯三世自我形容為埃及的銅墻鐵壁,意思是他有如牢不可破的設防城。
