9:15 外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中;他們的腳在自己暗設的網羅裡纏住了。
9:16 耶和華已將自己顯明了,他已施行審判;惡人被自己手所做的纏住了(或譯:他叫惡人被自己手所做的累住了)。(細拉)。
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
*************
惡人其實是自己害自己,不是上帝懲罰,是自己的惡行所造成的惡果,正如詩人所說:「外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中;他們的腳在自己暗設的網羅裡纏住了。…惡人被自己手所做的纏住了(或譯:他叫惡人被自己手所做的累住了)。」
但是,惡人不自知,反倒怪到上帝和別人。正如世界名著《基度山恩仇記》當中的仇人,真正的報應是來自自己的惡行,不是基度山伯爵報仇!
也因為這樣,我們要求上帝賜給我們真正的更新,讓基督裡的福份臨到我們身上,不受過去罪性的影響,使自己陷入痛苦的深淵!
