30:18 耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們；必然興起，好憐憫你們。因為耶和華是公平的上帝；凡等候他的都是有福的！
30:19 百姓必在錫安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的聲音施恩給你；他聽見的時候就必應允你。
30:20 主雖然以艱難給你當餅，以困苦給你當水，你的教師卻不再隱藏；你眼必看見你的教師。
30:21 你或向左或向右，你必聽見後邊有聲音說：「這是正路，要行在其間。」
30:22 你雕刻偶像所包的銀子和鑄造偶像所鍍的金子，你要玷污，要拋棄，好像污穢之物，對偶像說：「去吧！」
30:23 你將種子撒在地裡，主必降雨在其上，並使地所出的糧肥美豐盛。到那時，你的牲畜必在寬闊的草場吃草。
30:24 耕地的牛和驢駒必吃加鹽的料；這料是用木杴和杈子揚淨的。
30:25 在大行殺戮的日子，高臺倒塌的時候，各高山岡陵必有川流河湧。
30:26 當耶和華纏裹他百姓的損處，醫治他民鞭傷的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一樣。

18
Therefore the Lord waits to
be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of
justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him.
19 Truly,
O people in Zion, inhabitants of Jerusalem, you shall weep no more. He
will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he
will answer you. 20Though the Lord may give you the bread of
adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself
any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 21And when you turn
to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind
you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” 22Then you will defile
your silver-covered idols and your gold-plated images. You will scatter them
like filthy rags; you will say to them, “Away with you!”
23 He
will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and grain, the
produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. On that day your
cattle will graze in broad pastures; 24and the oxen and donkeys that
till the ground will eat silage, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. 25On
every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with
water—on a day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26Moreover
the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the
sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, on the day when the Lord binds up the injuries of his people, and heals the wounds
inflicted by his blow.

先知以賽亞像猶大的百姓宣告：「耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們；必然興起，好憐憫你們。因為耶和華是公平的上帝；凡等候他的都是有福的！百姓必在錫安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的聲音施恩給你；他聽見的時候就必應允你。」
可見上帝是樂意賜福給他的子民，而且是要為他們申冤，討回應有的公平正義！不僅如此還安慰百姓的心，在苦難中與他們同在。正如先知在此說：「主雖然以艱難給你當餅，以困苦給你當水，你的教師卻不再隱藏；你眼必看見你的教師。」
上帝不僅是安慰，還是實實在在的拯救與醫治，上帝必要「纏裹他百姓的損處，醫治他民鞭傷」！讓我們離開罪惡，勇敢投入主懷中吧！
