1:4 我必伸手攻擊猶大和耶路撒冷的一切居民,也必從這地方剪除所剩下的巴力,並基瑪林的名和祭司,
1:5 與那些在房頂上敬拜天上萬象的,並那些敬拜耶和華指著他起誓,又指著瑪勒堪起誓的,
1:6 與那些轉去不跟從耶和華的,和不尋求耶和華也不訪問他的。
“I will stretch out my hand against Judah
and against all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem;
and I will cut off from this place the
remnant of Baal
and the name of the idolatrous priests
along with the priests,
those who bow down on the roofs
to the host of the heavens,
those who bow down and swear to the Lord
and yet swear by Milcom,
those who have turned back from following the Lord,
who do not seek the Lord or inquire of
him.”

上帝保守祂的子民不要受到偶像崇拜的影響,就利用外侮來提醒,使他們可以歸向上帝。
正如今日,我們面對患難時,要思考這是不是上帝要我們歸向祂,用這種方法來提醒我們要禱告尋求祂的幫助呢!
所以,我們不管在甚麼狀況,要遠離倚靠偶像的誘惑,要來尋求上帝的幫助,透過耶穌基督與上帝有正確的關係!
