6/8 (一)
耶利米書 2：6-8
現代文譯本（2019）
6 雖然我救他們脫離埃及，
領他們經過荒野：
崎嶇不平的沙漠，
乾旱驚險的曠野，
沒有人煙足跡，
他們仍然不理我。
7 我把他們帶到肥沃的土地去，
讓他們享受土產和美物。
但他們糟蹋了我的土地，
汙染了我賜給他們的地方。
8 祭司從來不問：上主在哪裡？
我的祭司不認識我。
統治者背叛我；
先知奉巴力的名說預言，
拜毫無用處的偶像。
ESV
6 They did not say, ‘Where is the LORD who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and pits, in a land of drought and deep darkness, in a land that none passes through, where no man dwells?’
7 And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and its good things. But when you came in, you defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination.
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the LORD?’ Those who handle the law did not know me; the shepherds transgressed against me; the prophets prophesied by Baal and went after things that do not profit.
《聖經背景注釋》
藉巴力說預言，隨從無益的神 希西家和約西亞縱然實施改革，猶大百姓依然經常覆歸混合宗教的信仰，奉行迦南人的儀式，崇拜他們的神祇。這種混合宗教的先知奉巴力之名說預言，並在巴力的偶像之前求問默示。
