耶利米書36:1-8

36:1 猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年，耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：
36:2 「你取一書卷，將我對你說攻擊以色列和猶大，並各國的一切話，從我對你說話的那日，就是從約西亞的日子起直到今日，都寫在其上。
36:3 或者猶大家聽見我想要降與他們的一切災禍，各人就回頭，離開惡道，我好赦免他們的罪孽和罪惡。」
36:4 所以，耶利米召了尼利亞的兒子巴錄來；巴錄就從耶利米口中，將耶和華對耶利米所說的一切話寫在書卷上。
36:5 耶利米吩咐巴錄說：「我被拘管，不能進耶和華的殿。
36:6 所以你要去趁禁食的日子，在耶和華殿中將耶和華的話，就是你從我口中所寫在書卷上的話，念給百姓和一切從猶大城邑出來的人聽。
36:7 或者他們在耶和華面前懇求各人回頭，離開惡道，因為耶和華向這百姓所說要發的怒氣和忿怒是大的。」
36:8 尼利亞的兒子巴錄就照先知耶利米一切所吩咐的去行，在耶和華的殿中從書上念耶和華的話。

In the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: ²Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today. ³It may be that when the house of Judah hears of all the disasters that I intend to do to them, all of them may turn from their evil ways, so that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

⁴ Then Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll at Jeremiah’s dictation all the words of the Lord that he had spoken to him. ⁵And Jeremiah ordered Baruch, saying, “I am prevented from entering the house of the Lord; ⁶so you go yourself, and on a fast day in the hearing of the people in the Lord’s house you shall read the words of the Lord from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the people of Judah who come up from their towns. ⁷It may be that their plea will come before the Lord, and that all of them will turn from their evil ways, for great is the anger and wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people.” ⁸And Baruch son of Neriah did all that the prophet Jeremiah ordered him about reading from the scroll the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.

    上帝的話語是要被宣讀出來，這是很重要的，人聽了上帝的話是會有反應的，

絕對不會聽完之後，就不當一回事的！正如上帝在這裡說：「或者猶大家聽見我想

要降與他們的一切災禍，各人就回頭，離開惡道，我好赦免他們的罪孽和罪惡。」

       而上帝的話這裡說明了悔改的定義：各人就回頭，離開惡道！

                的確，人要聽上帝的話，才會有真正的悔改，才能回頭歸向上帝，離開罪惡！

也惟有這樣，上帝才能赦免我們的罪孽和罪惡。

                 你有沒有悔改？
