6/17 (三)
耶利米書 2：26-27
現代文譯本（2019）
26 上主說：「以色列人哪，你們會像小偷被抓到一樣狼狽；你們跟你們的君王、官長、祭司、先知都要狼狽不堪。
27 你們這些認木頭作爸爸，叫石頭作媽媽的，都要受羞辱；因為你們背離了我，不願意回到我這裡來。但是你們遭殃的時候，就要呼求我來拯救。
ESV
26 “As a thief is shamed when caught, so the house of Israel shall be shamed: they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets,
27 who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’ and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ For they have turned their back to me, and not their face. But in the time of their trouble they say, ‘Arise and save us!’
《聖經背景注釋》
以木頭為父，石頭為母 本節所指的木頭是女神亞舍拉的偶像，象征男性神祇的反是「生我的」。如此，以色列人的崇拜是胡里胡塗的崇拜。至於經文是泛指多神崇拜還是針對豐饒象徵，卻難以斷定。
