旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第19章

"Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel
and say: "'What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among the young lions and reared her cubs.
She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men.
The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
"'When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion.
He prowled among the lions, for he was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men.
He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring.
Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit.
With hooks they pulled him into a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him in prison, so his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
"'Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water.
Its branches were strong, fit for a ruler's scepter. It towered high above the thick foliage, conspicuous for its height and for its many branches.
But it was uprooted in fury and thrown to the ground. The east wind made it shrivel, it was stripped of its fruit; its strong branches withered and fire consumed them.
Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land.
Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler's scepter.' This is a lament and is to be used as a lament."
以西结书第十九章   第 19 章 

  结 19 章 > 这一章以挽歌的形式写成,是要配合哪些信息? 

  19 章 以西结用形像的手法传达了许多信息。他用母狮和幼狮的形像来引起听众的好奇。母狮象征着犹大国,两只幼狮代表两个王。第一只幼狮是约哈斯王,他于公元前 609 年被埃及法老尼哥掳至埃及(参王下 23:31-33 )。第二只幼狮可能是已经被掳至巴比伦的约雅斤王(参王下 24:8 ),也可能是很快就要被俘的西底家王(参王下 25:7 )。这个例子告诉犹大,他们根本没有能很快地摆脱流放、返回家园的希望,也没有可能摆脱巴比伦。 

  结 19:11-12> “东风吹干其上的果子”是指── 

  19:11-12 不是犹大国王在政治和军事上的强大就能救国。他们就像葡萄树一样将被“东风”连根拔起吹干。这“东风”就是强大的巴比伦军队。──《灵修版圣经注释》
