耶利米哀歌2:5-6

2:5 主如仇敵吞滅以色列和錫安的一切宮殿，拆毀百姓的保障；在猶大民中加增悲傷哭號。

2:6 他強取自己的帳幕，好像是園中的窩棚，毀壞他的聚會之處。耶和華使聖節和安息日在錫安都被忘記，又在怒氣的憤恨中藐視君王和祭司。

5 The Lord has become like an enemy;

 he has swallowed up Israel;

 he has swallowed up all its palaces;

he has laid in ruins its strongholds,

and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah

 mourning and lamentation.

6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,

laid in ruins his meeting place;

 the Lord has made Zion forget

festival and Sabbath,

and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.

    為何主會如仇敵一般呢？因為以色列人犯罪得罪上帝了！這也提醒我們，我們要脫離罪惡的綑綁，才不會與上帝為敵，受到上帝的攻擊！

    這是很重要的事情，我們常常自以為是受恩典的人，殊不知我們是在犯罪的一方，需要時刻都有主耶穌的寶血遮蓋，更需要時刻省察自己，求聖靈來光照並加力量脫離罪惡！

    要是我們不倚靠主耶穌的拯救，雖貴為君王和祭司，仍然是與上帝為敵被上帝藐視的，甚至是敬拜上帝的日子也是這樣的！而要從這樣的情況被拯救出來，還是要靠耶穌基督的救贖，這是來自上帝的恩典！
