以賽亞書 21:4

4 我 心 慌 張 ， 驚 恐 威 嚇 我 。 我 所 羨 慕 的 黃 昏 ， 變 為 我 的 戰 兢 。

以賽亞書 21:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 21:4

My heart panted
Fluttered about, and could hardly keep its place: or, "my mind wandered" ^F18; like a person in distraction and confusion, that knew not what to think say or do: fearfulness affrighted me;
the terror of Cyrus's army seized him, of its irruption into the city, and of his being destroyed by it; the writing on the wall threw him into a panic, and the news of the Medes and Persians being entered the city increased it: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me;
in which he promised himself so much pleasure, at a feast he had made for his princes, wives, and concubines; either in honour of his god, as some think ^F19, being an annual one; or, as Josephus ben Gorion ^F20 says, on account of the victory he had obtained over the Medes and Persians; and so was quite secure, and never in the least thought of destruction being at hand; but in the midst of all his revelling, mirth, and jollity, the city was surprised and taken, and he slain, ( Daniel 5:1 Daniel 5:30 ) . So mystical Babylon, in the midst of her prosperity, while she is saying that she sits a queen, and knows no sorrow, her judgment and plagues shall come upon her, ( Revelation 18:7 Revelation 18:8 ) .

以賽亞書 21:4 In-Context

2 令 人 悽 慘 的 異 象 已 默 示 於 我 。 詭 詐 的 行 詭 詐 ， 毀 滅 的 行 毀 滅 。 以 攔 哪 ， 你 要 上 去 ！ 瑪 代 啊 ， 你 要 圍 困 ！ 主 說 ： 我 使 一 切 歎 息 止 住 。

3 所 以 ， 我 滿 腰 疼 痛 ； 痛 苦 將 我 抓 住 ， 好 像 產 難 的 婦 人 一 樣 。 我 疼 痛 甚 至 不 能 聽 ； 我 驚 惶 甚 至 不 能 看 。

4 我 心 慌 張 ， 驚 恐 威 嚇 我 。 我 所 羨 慕 的 黃 昏 ， 變 為 我 的 戰 兢 。

5 他 們 擺 設 筵 席 ， 派 人 守 望 ， 又 吃 ， 又 喝 。 首 領 啊 ， 你 們 起 來 ， 用 油 抹 盾 牌 。

6 主 對 我 如 此 說 ： 你 去 設 立 守 望 的 ， 使 他 將 所 看 見 的 述 說 。
