以西結書 20:46 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:46

Son of man, set thy force toward the south
The land of Judea, which lay south of Babylon, where the prophet now was, as Babylon lay north of that, ( Jeremiah 1:14 ) ( 4:6 ) to set his face was to speak freely and boldly, with courage and constancy, and without fear and dread, to the inhabitants of it; and as a token of the Lord's face being set against them for their sins. The Targum is,

``take a prophecy towards the way of the south.''
And drop thy word toward the south;
or prophesy, as the Targum; doctrine or prophecy being compared to rain, and the delivery of it to the dropping or distilling of rain; which falls gently, gradually, successively, and oftentimes with weight, and to good purpose; see ( Deuteronomy 32:2 ) , which metaphorical phrase is explained in the next clause: and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
the city of Jerusalem, in the land of Judea, which was very full of people, as a forest of trees; but these barren and unfruitful, as the trees of the wood generally are; and a rendezvous of wicked persons, comparable to beasts of prey, that haunt in woods and forests.

44 主 耶 和 華 說 : 以 色 列 家 啊 , 我 為 我 名 的 緣 故 , 不 照 著 你 們 的 惡 行 和 你 們 的 壞 事 待 你 們 ; 你 們 就 知 道 我 是 耶 和 華 。
45 耶 和 華 的 話 臨 到 我 說 :
46 人 子 啊 , 你 要 面 向 南 方 , 向 南 滴 下 預 言 攻 擊 南 方 田 野 的 樹 林 。
47 對 南 方 的 樹 林 說 , 要 聽 耶 和 華 的 話 。 主 耶 和 華 如 此 說 : 我 必 使 火 在 你 中 間 著 起 , 燒 滅 你 中 間 的 一 切 青 樹 和 枯 樹 , 猛 烈 的 火 燄 必 不 熄 滅 。 從 南 到 北 , 人 的 臉 面 都 被 燒 焦 。
48 凡 有 血 氣 的 都 必 知 道 是 我 ─ 耶 和 華 使 火 著 起 , 這 火 必 不 熄 滅 。
