以赛亚书9：8～10：4
耶/和/华要惩罚以色列
8 主使一言入于雅各家，
落于以色列家。
9 这众百姓，就是以法莲
和撒马利亚的居民，都要知道；
他们凭骄傲自大的心说：
10 砖墙塌了，我们却要凿石头建筑；
桑树砍了，我们却要换香柏树。
11 因此，耶/和/华要高举利汛的敌人
来攻击以色列，
并要激动以色列的仇敌。
12 东有亚兰人，西有非利士人；
他们张口要吞吃以色列。
虽然如此，耶/和/华的怒气还未转消；
他的手仍伸不缩。
13 这百姓还没有归向击打他们的主，
也没有寻求万军之耶/和/华。
14 因此，耶/和/华一日之间
必从以色列中剪除头与尾，
棕枝与芦苇－
15 长老和尊贵人就是头，
以谎言教人的先知就是尾。
16 因为，引导这百姓的使他们走错了路；
被引导的都必败亡。
17 所以，主必不喜悦他们的少年人，
也不怜恤他们的孤儿寡妇；
因为，各人是亵渎的，是行恶的，
并且各人的口都说愚妄的话。
虽然如此，耶/和/华的怒气还未转消；
他的手仍伸不缩。
18 邪恶像火焚烧，
烧灭荆棘和蒺藜，
在稠密的树林中着起来，
就成为烟柱，旋转上腾。
19 因万军之耶/和/华的烈怒，地都烧遍；
百姓成为火柴；
无人怜爱弟兄。
20 有人右边抢夺，仍受饥饿，
左边吞吃，仍不饱足；
各人吃自己膀臂上的肉。
21 玛拿西吞吃以法莲；
以法莲吞吃玛拿西，
又一同攻击犹大。
虽然如此，耶/和/华的怒气还未转消；
他的手仍伸不缩。
1 祸哉！那些设立不义之律例的
和记录奸诈之判语的，
2 为要屈枉穷乏人，
夺去我民中困苦人的理，
以寡妇当作掳物，
以孤儿当作掠物。
3 到降罚的日子，有灾祸从远方临到，
那时，你们怎样行呢？
你们向谁逃奔求救呢？
你们的荣耀存留何处呢？
4 他们只得屈身在被掳的人以下，
仆倒在被杀的人以下。
虽然如此，耶/和/华的怒气还未转消；
他的手仍伸不缩。
TheLord’s Anger Against Israel
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—
who say with pride
and arrogance of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;
the fig trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west
have devoured Israel with open mouth.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them,
nor have they sought the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed in a single day;
15 the elders and dignitaries are the head,
the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
16 Those who guide this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,
nor will he pity the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly and wicked,
every mouth speaks folly.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;
it consumes briers and thorns,
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched
and the people will be fuel for the fire;
they will not spare one another.
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;
on the left they will eat,
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring:
21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;
together they will turn against Judah.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
1 Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning,
when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?
Where will you leave your riches?
4 Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives
or fall among the slain.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.

5.面对 SHEN 爱的告诫和打击，我的反应如何？
6.为了借着真实的悔改来到 SHEN 的面前，我决定要怎么做？
砖块……香柏树(9:10)：砖块和桑树是穷人建造房屋时使用的材料，石头和香柏树是富人的建筑材料。这说明百姓内心骄傲，认为自己没有 SHEN 会生活得更好。
利汛的敌人(9:11)：当时以色列人为了对付亚述，与亚兰王利汛订立同盟。
