以色列干犯耶和华的罪，

Israel’s Sin against Jehovah
1与耶和华对以色列的惩罚（四）以色列对耶和华虚伪的敬拜（一）读经：耶利米书七至十章。在本篇信息中，我们要先看以色列对耶和华虚伪的敬拜。
1and Jehovah’s Punishment upon Israel (4) Israel’s Hypocritical Worship to Jehovah (1) Scripture Reading: Jer. 7—10 In this message on Israel'ss in against Jehovah and Jehovah's punishment upon Israel, we will begin to consider Israel's hypocritical worship to Jehovah
壹 以色列（事实上是犹大）
I. ISRAEL'S (ACTUALLY JUDAH'S
对耶和华他们的神虚伪的敬拜
HYPOCRITICAL WORSHIP TO JEHOVAH THEIR GOD
一 迷信的敬拜
A. A Worship of Superstition
2以色列（事实上是犹大－耶七21，九26）对耶和华他们神的敬拜，是虚伪的敬拜，也是迷信的敬拜。
2Israel's (actually Judah's—7:21; 9:26) hypocritical worship to Jehovah their God was a false worship and was a worship of superstition
１ 倚靠关于耶和华殿的虚谎的话
1. Trusting in the Words of Falsehood concerning the Temple of Jehovah
3以色列人在他们迷信的敬拜里，倚靠虚谎的话，说，『这些殿宇是耶和华的殿，耶和华的殿，耶和华的殿。』（七4。）对他们而言，甚至殿也成了偶像和迷信的东西。因此，耶利米告诉他们，不要说这些关于耶和华殿的话。
3In their superstitious worship, Israel trusted in the words of falsehood that said, "The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, these buildings are the temple of Jehovah" (7:4). To them even the temple had become an idol and something of superstition. Thus, Jeremiah told them not to say these words regarding the temple of Jehovah
２ 行许多恶事，却又来站在耶和华面前说，他们要得自由
2. Doing Many Wicked Things and Then Coming and Standing before Jehovah and Saying That They Would Be Delivered
4一面，以色列人敬拜神；另一面，他们偷盗、杀害、奸淫、起假誓、向巴力烧香、随从别神。行过这样的事，他们就来到称为耶和华名下的殿，站在耶和华面前说，『我们得自由了！』（9～10。）他们这样说，是在欺哄自己，欺骗自己。
4On the one hand, the people of Israel worshipped God; on the other hand, they were given to stealing, murdering, committing adultery, swearing falsely, burning incense to Baal, and going after other gods. After doing such things, they would come and stand before Jehovah in the house which is called by His name and say, "We are delivered!" (vv. 9-10). By saying this they were deceiving themselves and cheating themselves
３ 倚靠称为耶和华名下的殿，这殿在他们眼中看为贼窝
3. Trusting in the House Called by Jehovah's Name, Which Had Become a Den of Robbers in Their Eyes
5以色列人倚靠称为耶和华名下的殿，这殿在他们眼中看为贼窝。（耶七11，14，太二一13，可十一17，路十九46。）这指明他们对神的敬拜完全成了虚假。
5Israel trusted in the house called by Jehovah's name, which had become a den of robbers in their eyes (vv. 11, 14; Matt. 21:13; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46). This indicates that their worship to God had altogether become a falsehood.
二 虚妄的敬拜
B. A Worship in Vanity
6以色列对耶和华的敬拜，也是虚妄的敬拜。
6Israel's worship to Jehovah was also a worship in vanity
１ 倚靠虚谎的话
1. Trusting in Words of Falsehood
7以色列在他们虚妄的敬拜里，倚靠虚谎无益的话。（耶七8。）
7In their worship in vanity, Israel trusted in words of falsehood that did not benefit them (v. 8
２ 耶和华嘱咐申言者耶利米，不要为他们祈祷
2. Jehovah Charging the Prophet Jeremiah Not to Pray for Them
8耶和华嘱咐申言者耶利米，不要为他们祈祷，也不要向祂代求，因祂必不听他。（16。）
8Jehovah charged the prophet Jeremiah not to pray for them and not to intercede with Him, for He would not hear him (v. 16
３ 耶和华他们的神不理会他们的燔祭和平安祭
3. Jehovah Their God Not Caring for Their Burnt Offerings and Sacrifices
9以色列向耶和华献了许多燔祭和平安祭。但因他们不听从耶和华的话，不行在祂所吩咐的一切道路上，祂就不理会他们的燔祭和平安祭。（21～23。）贰以色列（事实上是犹大）这虚伪敬拜神者的邪恶
9Israel offered to Jehovah many burnt offerings and sacrifices. But since they did not hear Jehovah's voice and walk in all the way that He commanded them, He did not care for their burnt offerings and sacrifices (vv. 21-23). II. THE EVILS OF ISRAEL (ACTUALLY JUDAH) AS THE HYPOCRITICAL WORSHIPPERS OF GOD
10以色列（事实上是犹大）这虚伪的敬拜神者，犯了许多恶行。
10As the hypocritical worshippers of God, Israel (actually Judah) committed many evils
一 欺压外人和孤儿寡妇
A. Oppressing the Sojourner, the Orphan, and the Widow
11他们欺压外人和孤儿寡妇，流无辜人的血。他们也随从别神陷害自己。（6。）二偷盗、杀害、奸淫、起假誓、向巴力烧香
11They oppressed the sojourner, the orphan, and the widow, and they shed innocent blood. They also went after other gods to their own ruin (v. 6). B. Stealing, Murdering, Committing Adultery, Swearing Falsely, and Burning Incense to Baal
12耶利米七章九节说到以色列的偷盗、杀害、奸淫、起假誓、向巴力烧香、并随从素不认识的别神。
12Jeremiah 7:9 speaks of Israel's stealing, murdering, committing adultery, swearing falsely, burning incense to Baal, and going after other gods which they had not known
三 抟面作饼，献给天后，
C. Making Cakes for the Queen of Heaven
13又向别神浇奠祭在十八节耶和华说，『孩子捡柴，父亲烧火，妇女抟面作饼，献给天后，又向别神浇奠祭，惹我发怒。』这里的天后是宁录的妻子赛米拉米斯（Semiramis），她就是后来在以弗所为人所知的亚底米。（徒十九。）很难相信神的选民，祂所拣选的人，竟堕落到这样的地步，会作饼献给宁录的妻子。这是一种属灵的淫乱和奸淫。
13and Pouring Out Drink Offerings to Other Gods In verse 18 Jehovah says, "The children gather wood, and the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger." Here the queen of heaven is Nimrod's wife Semiramis; later she was known as Artemis in Ephesus (Acts 19:27). It is hard to believe that God'select, His 27 chosen people, could degrade to such an extent that they would make cakes for the wife of Nimrod. This was a matter of both fornication and idolatry.
四 不听从，不侧耳而听神的吩咐
D. Not Listening or Inclining Their Ear to God's Command
14『我只吩咐他们这一件，说，你们当听从我的话，我就作你们的神，你们也作我的子民；你们行在我所吩咐的一切道路上，就可以得福。』（耶七23。）然而，以色列没有听从耶和华他们神的话，竟随从自己的计谋，和顽梗的恶心，向后不向前。（24。）
14This is what I commanded them, saying, Hear My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and walk in all the way which I command you, that it may go well with you" (v. 23). However, Israel did not listen to the voice of Jehovah their God but walked in the counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts and went backward and not forward (v. 24
五 硬著颈项
E. Stiffening Their Neck
15他们硬著颈项，行恶比他们的列祖更甚。（26。）
15They stiffened their neck and did more evil than their fathers (v. 26
六 不听从耶和华他们神的话，不受管教
F. Not Listening to the Voice of Jehovah Their God and Not Taking Correction
16以色列不听从耶和华他们神的话，不受管教。真实灭绝了，从他们的口中截断了。（28。）他们放弃了真实，不再说到真实。七行耶和华眼中看为恶的事
16Israel did not listen to the voice of Jehovah their God and did not take correction. Truth perished and was cut off from their mouth (v. 28). They had given up the truth and no longer spoke about it. G. Doing That Which Is Evil in Jehovah'sS ight
17以色列行耶和华眼中看为恶的事；将可憎之物设立在称为祂名下的殿中，污秽这殿。（30。）这就是说，他们将偶像设立在耶和华的殿中。
17Israel did that which was evil in Jehovah'ss ight. They set up their abominations in the house which was called by His name, to defile it (v. 30). This means that they set up idols in the house of Jehovah
八 建筑陀斐特的邱坛，好在火中焚烧自己的儿女
H. Building the High Places of Topheth to Burn Their Sons and Daughters in the Fire
18以色列甚至离谱到建筑陀斐特的邱坛，好在火中焚烧自己的儿女。（31。）
18Israel even went so far as to build the high places of Topheth to burn their sons and daughters in the fire (v. 31
九 恒久背道
I. Turning Away in Perpetual Apostasy
19以色列恒久背道，守定诡诈，不肯回头。（八5。）以色列的背道不是暂时的，乃是恒久的。
19Israel turned away in perpetual apostasy. They held fast to deceit and refused to turn back (8:5). Israel's apostasy was not temporary—it was perpetual
十 说不正直的话，无人悔改恶行
J. Not Speaking Rightly and No One Repenting of His Wickedness
20他们说不正直的话，（6上，）无人悔改恶行，说，『我作的是甚么？』（6中。）他们各人转奔己路，如马直闯战场。（6下。）
20They did not speak rightly (v. 6a), and no one repented of his wickedness, saying, " What have I done? " (v. 6b). Rather, everyone turned to his own course, like a horse rushing headlong into battle (v. 6c).
十一 不知道耶和华的判决
K. Not Knowing the Ordinance of Jehovah
21以色列不知道耶和华的判决（律法的典章）。他们不像鹳鸟，知道来去的定期；班鸠、燕子与白鹤，也遵守当来的时令。（7。）这些鸟知道来去的定期，但以色列不知道神心意的定期。
21Israel did not know the ordinance (of the law) of Jehovah. They were unlike the stork, which knows its own appointed times, and the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane, which keep the time of their coming (v. 7). These birds knew the time of their coming and going, but Israel was not knowledgeable concerning the times of God'sin tent i on
十二 弃绝耶和华的话，没有智慧
L. Having Rejected the Word of Jehovah and Having No Wisdom
22『智慧人惭愧，惊惶，被擒拿。看哪，他们弃绝耶和华的话，还有甚么智慧？』（9。）以色列弃绝耶和华的话，没有智慧。
22The wise men are put to shame; / They are dismayed and are taken; / Behold, they have rejected the word of Jehovah, / And what wisdom do they have?" (v. 9). Having rejected the word of Jehovah, Israel had no wisdom
十三 人人都夺取不义之财
M. Everyone Wresting Unjust Gain
23人人都夺取不义之财；从申言者到祭司，个个都行事虚谎。（10。）申言者和祭司都成为败坏的。
23Everyone was wresting unjust gain. From the prophet even to the priest, everyone was dealing falsely (v. 10). Both the prophets and priests had become corrupt
十四 以雕刻的偶像，和外邦虚无的偶像，惹耶和华发怒
N. Provoking Jehovah to Anger with Their Graven Images and with Strange Idols
24百姓以雕刻的偶像，和外邦虚无的偶像，惹耶和华发怒。（19。）
24The people provoked Jehovah to anger with their graven images and with strange idols (vanities—v. 19
十五 他们都是行奸淫的，是行诡诈的一伙
O. All of Them Being Adulterers and an Assembly of Treacherous Men
25他们都是行奸淫的，是行诡诈的一伙。（九2。）他们弯起舌头像弓一样；这地谎话得势，没有真实；他们恶上加恶，并不认识耶和华；（3；）他们教舌头说谎，劳劳碌碌的作孽。（5。）他们的舌头是致命的箭，说话诡诈。（8上。）人与邻舍说和平话，心却谋害他。（8下。）
25All of them were adulterers and an assembly of treacherous men (9:2). They bent their tongue like their bow, and falsehood, and not truth, prevailed in the land, for they proceeded from evil to evil and did not know Jehovah (v. 3). They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, and they wearied themselves committing iniquity (v. 5). Their tongue was a deadly arrow and spoke deceit (v. 8a). Each spoke peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he laid an ambush for him (v. 8b
十六 以色列人全家，心中没有受割礼
P. All the House of Israel Being Uncircumcised in Heart
26最终，在二十六节耶和华说，以色列人全家，心中没有受割礼。
26Finally, in verse 26 Jehovah says that all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.
27从本篇信息所说到的经文，我们看见一幅以色列败坏的生动图画。以色列对神是败坏的、彼此对待也是败坏的；他们在各面都是败坏的。
27From the verses we have covered in this message, we have seen a vivid picture of the corruption of Israel. Israel was corrupt with God and with one another; they were corrupt in every way.
