第三十四章
1列國啊，要近前來聽！眾民哪，要側耳而聽！地和其上所充滿
的，世界和其中一切所出的，都應當聽！2因為耶和華向萬國發忿
恨，向他們的全軍發烈怒，將他們滅盡，交出他們受殺戮。3被殺
的必然拋棄，屍首臭氣上騰，諸山被他們的血融化。4天上的萬象
都要消沒；天被捲起，好像書卷。其上的萬象要殘敗，像葡萄樹的
葉子殘敗，又像無花果樹的葉子殘敗一樣。5因為我的刀在天上已
經喝足。這刀必臨到以東和我所咒詛的民，要施行審判。6耶和華
的刀滿了血，用脂油和羊羔、公山羊的血，並公綿羊腰子的脂油滋
潤的。因為耶和華在波斯拉有獻祭的事；在以東地大行殺戮。7野
牛、牛犢和公牛要一同下來。他們的地喝醉了血；他們的塵土因脂
油肥潤。

默想：
1.這章預言是不容易讀下去的，其中描述到神因為全地的悖逆而
施展的懲罰、與破壞。那些悖逆的國家不肯轉向神，因此，神
要將他們的土地歸給鳥類與野獸。而神所命定的，必然要成就。
2.讀完這段經文，或是整章聖經後，你對神有怎樣的看法？若是
你換一個角色，從被壓迫者的觀點來讀，特別讀到將來神要
為你伸張公義，推翻壓逼你的人，這時， 你對神會有什麼感受？
禱告與筆錄：
繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中
的思想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

Chapter 34
1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you peoples! Let the
earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it!
2 The LORD is angry with all nations; his wrath is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy them, he will give them over to slaughter.3 Their
slain will be thrown out, their dead bodies will stink; the mountains will
be soaked with their blood.4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolved and
the heavens rolled up like a scroll; all the starry host will fall like withered
leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig tree.5 My sword
has drunk its fill in the heavens; see, it descends in judgment on Edom,
the people I have totally destroyed.6 The sword of the LORD is bathed
in blood, it is covered with fat—the blood of lambs and goats, fat from
the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great
slaughter in the land of Edom. 7 And the wild oxen will fall with them,
the bull calves and the great bulls. Their land will be drenched with blood,
and the dust will be soaked with fat.

Meditation
1.This whole chapter is almost too tough to hear. It describes God’s
undoing of those parts of creation that refuse to accept the sovereignty
of God. The nations that God would judge refused to respond
to the Lord. Therefore, their lands would be returned to the
birds and the beasts. What God has ordained is certain to pass.

2.How do you feel about God after reading this passage? How might
you feel if you read it from the viewpoint of an oppressed person
reflecting on the fact that justice would one day overtake your oppressor?

Prayer & Journaling: Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse
with God and listen to what he wants to tell me. Then write down
any thought and/or prayer in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
