以賽亞書 57:17 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 57:17

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote
him,
&c.] Not the greedy watchmen of the church of Rome, ( Isaiah 56:10 Isaiah 56:11 ) , but teachers and preachers in the reformed churches, who mind their own things, and not the things of Christ; seek after good benefices and livings, temporalities and pluralities, and to be lord bishops; taking the oversight of the flock for filthy lucre sake; which may easily be observed to be the predominant sin of the preachers and professors of the reformed churches; for which God has a controversy with them, and, resenting it, has smote and rebuked them in a providential way; and has threatened them, as he did the church at Sardis, the emblem of the reformed churches, that he will come upon them as a thief, ( Revelation 3:4 ) . I hid me, and was wroth:
showed his displeasure by departing from them; and how much God has withdrawn his presence, and caused his spirit to depart from the churches of the Reformation, is too notorious: and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart;
took no notice of the reproofs and corrections of God; was unconcerned at his absence; not at all affected with his departure, and the withdrawings of his Spirit; these had no effect to cause a reformation, as is now too visibly the case; the same evil is pursued with equal eagerness; this is a way the heart of man is set upon, and they do not care to be turned out of it; and are like froward peevish children under the rod, receive no correction by it.

以賽亞書 57:17 In-Context

15 因 為 那 至 高 至 上 、 永 遠 長 存 ( 原 文 是 住 在 永 遠 ) 、 名 為 聖 者 的 如 此 說 : 我 住 在 至 高 至 聖 的 所 在 , 也 與 心 靈 痛 悔 謙 卑 的 人 同 居 ; 要 使 謙 卑 人 的 靈 甦 醒 , 也 使 痛 悔 人 的 心 甦 醒 。
16 我 必 不 永 遠 相 爭 , 也 不 長 久 發 怒 , 恐 怕 我 所 造 的 人 與 靈 性 都 必 發 昏 。
17 因 他 貪 婪 的 罪 孽 , 我 就 發 怒 擊 打 他 ; 我 向 他 掩 面 發 怒 , 他 卻 仍 然 隨 心 背 道 。
18 我 看 見 他 所 行 的 道 , 也 要 醫 治 他 ; 又 要 引 導 他 , 使 他 和 那 一 同 傷 心 的 人 再 得 安 慰 。
19 我 造 就 嘴 唇 的 果 子 ; 願 平 安 康 泰 歸 與 遠 處 的 人 , 也 歸 與 近 處 的 人 ; 並 且 我 要 醫 治 他 。 這 是 耶 和 華 說 的 。
