以赛亚书 40:24 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 40:24

Yea, they shall not be planted
As trees are, like the cedars in Lebanon, though they may seem to be such; but be like the grass of the field, and herbs of the earth: or, "even they shall be", as if they were "not planted F3", they shall not grow and flourish; or they shall be plucked up, and be no more; this is said of the princes and judges of the earth; nay, they shall not be sown;
as seed is, which springing up, brings forth fruit, but so it shall not be with them; or they shall be as if they had not been sown, no fruit being brought forth by them: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth;
so as to continue and abide, but they shall soon vanish and disappear, as the most powerful princes and wisest judges do. The Targum is,

``although they multiply, although they increase, although their children become great in the earth:''
"and" or "yea", he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither;
as grass withers, when a severe wind blows upon it: and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble;
which is not able to stand before the force of it; and as unable are the greatest potentates on earth to stand before the tempest of divine wrath and vengeance; if God blows but upon them in anger, all their glory and grandeur, pomp and power, wither away like the flower of the field; and especially if he comes forth in all the fury of his wrath in a tempestuous way against them, they are no more able to stand before him that stubble before a violent storm: see ( Revelation 6:15-17 ) . The Targum is,
``yet, even he will send his fury upon them; and his word shall take them away, as a whirlwind stubble.''

22 神 坐 在 地 球 大 圈 之 上 ; 地 上 的 居 民 好 像 蝗 虫 。 他 铺 张 穹 苍 如 幔 子 , 展 开 诸 天 如 可 住 的 帐 棚 。
23 他 使 君 王 归 於 虚 无 , 使 地 上 的 审 判 官 成 为 虚 空 。
24 他 们 是 刚 才 ( 或 译 : 不 曾 ; 下 同 ) 栽 上 , 刚 才 种 上 , 根 也 刚 才 扎 在 地 里 , 他 一 吹 在 其 上 , 便 都 枯 乾 ; 旋 风 将 他 们 吹 去 , 像 碎 秸 一 样 。
25 那 圣 者 说 : 你 们 将 谁 比 我 , 叫 他 与 我 相 等 呢 ?
26 你 们 向 上 举 目 , 看 谁 创 造 这 万 象 , 按 数 目 领 出 , 他 一 一 称 其 名 ; 因 他 的 权 能 , 又 因 他 的 大 能 大 力 , 连 一 个 都 不 缺 。
