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!
