在主裡成為一個健康的教會

每日讀經 – 7/5 (日) 耶利米書 5:1-3

7月5日

耶利米書5章1-3節

現代中文譯本2019
1 耶路撒冷人哪,走遍你們的大街小巷!到處詳細觀察!到市場上搜尋!看看能不能找到一個正直忠誠的人?你們找得到,上主就會饒恕耶路撒冷。
2 你們自稱敬畏上主,其實口是心非。
3 上主的確在尋找忠誠的人。他打擊你們,你們不理會,懲罰你們,你們也不受教。你們頑固成性,不肯離棄罪惡。

ESV
1 Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth, that I may pardon her.
2 Though they say, “As the LORD lives,” yet they swear falsely.
3 O LORD, do not your eyes look for truth? You have struck them down, but they felt no anguish; you have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent.

今天的經文中,上主提出了挑戰,請大家去耶路撒冷的街上找公義忠誠的人,找到祂就要赦免耶路撒冷,結果先知發現找不到。第1節命令式動詞是複數,表示這個挑戰不是只有針對耶利米,而是對每一個願意接受這個挑戰的人說。因此這段經文表達了上主在找對祂「忠誠」的人,但遇到的都是虛假,不肯悔改的人。
