3:17 你們就知道我是耶和華─你們的上帝,且又住在錫安─我的聖山。那時,耶路撒冷必成為聖;外邦人不再從其中經過。
3:18 到那日,大山要滴甜酒;小山要流奶子;猶大溪河都有水流。必有泉源從耶和華的殿中流出來,滋潤什亭谷。
3:19 埃及必然荒涼,以東變為悽涼的曠野,都因向猶大人所行的強暴,又因在本地流無辜人的血。
3:20 但猶大必存到永遠;耶路撒冷必存到萬代。
3:21 我未曾報復(或譯:洗除;下同)流血的罪,現在我要報復,因為耶和華住在錫安。
17 "So you shall know that I am the
Lord your God,
who
dwells in Zion, my holy mountain.
And Jerusalem shall be holy,
and strangers shall never again pass
through it.
18 "And in that day
the
mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and the hills shall flow with milk,
and all the streambeds of Judah
shall flow with water;
and
a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord
and water the Valley of Shittim.
19 "Egypt shall become a desolation
and Edom a desolate wilderness,
for
the violence done to the people of Judah,
because they have shed innocent blood in
their land.
20 But Judah shall be inhabited forever,
and Jerusalem to all generations.
21 I will avenge their blood,
blood I have not avenged,
for
the Lord dwells in Zion."

上帝要在地上治理萬國,祂要藉由猶大國來彰顯祂的治權,使祂的民得著祂恩典的眷顧直到永遠!正如經文所說:「到那日,大山要滴甜酒;小山要流奶子;猶大溪河都有水流。必有泉源從耶和華的殿中流出來,滋潤什亭谷。」「猶大必存到永遠;耶路撒冷必存到萬代。」
這是多麼美的事啊!上帝要高舉祂的百姓,懲罰攻擊與虐待祂百姓的國,「埃及必然荒涼,以東變為悽涼的曠野,都因向猶大人所行的強暴,又因在本地流無辜人的血。」「我未曾報復流血的罪,現在我要報復,因為耶和華住在錫安。」
所以,上帝國的降臨,必有公義的審判,沒有審判人心中的傷痕是無法地到平息與醫治,也就沒有真正的平安!因此,要有公義,才有平安!
