那鴻書2:10-13

2:10 尼尼微現在空虛荒涼，人心消化，雙膝相碰，腰都疼痛，臉都變色。

2:11 獅子的洞和少壯獅子餵養之處在哪裡呢？公獅母獅小獅遊行、無人驚嚇之地在哪裡呢？

2:12 公獅為小獅撕碎許多食物，為母獅掐死活物，把撕碎的、掐死的充滿牠的洞穴。

2:13 萬軍之耶和華說：「我與你為敵，必將你的車輛焚燒成煙，刀劍也必吞滅你的少壯獅子。我必從地上除滅你所撕碎的，你使者的聲音必不再聽見。」

Desolate! Desolation and ruin!

Hearts melt and knees tremble;

anguish is in all loins;

all faces grow pale!

  Where is the lions' den,

the feeding place of the young lions,

where the lion and lioness went,

where his cubs were, with none to disturb?

  The lion tore enough for his cubs

and strangled prey for his lionesses;

he filled his caves with prey

and his dens with torn flesh.

  Behold, I am against you, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.

    上帝執意要尼尼微成滅亡，是因為他們與上帝為敵。正如先知在這裡說的話：「萬軍之耶和華說：『我與你為敵，必將你的車輛焚燒成煙，刀劍也必吞滅你的少壯獅子。我必從地上除滅你所撕碎的，你使者的聲音必不再聽見。』」

    因此，不管各樣的狀況，我們都不可以上帝為敵，要順服上帝，靠耶穌基督成為上帝喜悅之兒女。
