以賽亞書 44:27 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 44:27

That saith to the deep, be dry
The Targum is,

``that saith to Babylon, be desolate;''
and most interpreters, Jewish and Christian, understand it of Babylon, which was situated in a watery place, by rivers of water, particularly the river Euphrates, and in a low valley: and I will dry up thy rivers;
some think the allusion is to the stratagem of Cyrus, made use of, under a divine direction, to drain the river Euphrates, and make it passable for his army; by which means he surprised the city of Babylon, and took it: though others think it refers to the drying up of the Red sea and the river Jordan, which are proofs of what God can do, and a periphrasis of his power.

25 使 說 假 話 的 兆 頭 失 效 , 使 占 卜 的 癲 狂 , 使 智 慧 人 退 後 , 使 他 的 知 識 變 為 愚 拙 ;
26 使 我 僕 人 的 話 語 立 定 , 我 使 者 的 謀 算 成 就 。 論 到 耶 路 撒 冷 說 : 必 有 人 居 住 ; 論 到 猶 大 的 城 邑 說 : 必 被 建 造 , 其 中 的 荒 場 我 也 必 興 起 。
27 對 深 淵 說 : 你 乾 了 罷 ! 我 也 要 使 你 的 江 河 乾 涸 。
28 論 古 列 說 : 他 是 我 的 牧 人 , 必 成 就 我 所 喜 悅 的 , 必 下 令 建 造 耶 路 撒 冷 , 發 命 立 穩 聖 殿 的 根 基 。
