以賽亞書8:11-15



8:11 耶和華以大能的手,指教我不可行這百姓所行的道,對我這樣說:
8:12
「這百姓說同謀背叛,你們不要說同謀背叛。他們所怕的,你們不要怕,也不要畏懼。
8:13
但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖,以他為你們所當怕的,所當畏懼的。
8:14
他必作為聖所,卻向以色列兩家作絆腳的石頭,跌人的磐石;向耶路撒冷的居民作為圈套和網羅。
8:15
許多人必在其上絆腳跌倒,而且跌碎,並陷入網羅,被纏住。」

11 For the Lord spoke thus to me while his hand was strong upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what it fears, or be in dread. 13But the Lord of hosts, him you shall regard as holy; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14He will become a sanctuary, a stone one strikes against; for both houses of Israel he will become a rock one stumbles over—a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15And many among them shall stumble; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.

    上帝要先知像猶大人宣告:「這百姓說同謀背叛,你們不要說同謀背叛。他們所怕的,你們不要怕,也不要畏懼。但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖,以祂為你們所當怕的,所當畏懼的。


    而這些教導都是要告訴我們一個事實:要敬畏上帝,不要怕人!這不僅是一般的基督徒要謹守,更是牧者要放在心中,尤其是面對那些批著羊皮的狼時,更是要這樣勇敢的保護上帝所賜的羊。
