我熬炼你,却不像熬炼银子。你在苦难的炉中,我拣选你。 我为自己的缘故必行这事,我焉能使我的名被亵渎,我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。 “Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.”(Isaiah‬ ‭48‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬)Read More →

雅各家,以色列家一切余剩的,要听我言,你们自从生下,就蒙我保抱,自从出胎,便蒙我怀搋。 直到你们年老,我仍这样,直到你们发白,我仍怀搋,我已造作,也必保抱,我必怀抱,也必拯救。 Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb; even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.(Isaiah‬ ‭46‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬)Read More →

但这些人毁谤他们所不知道的。他们本性所知道的事与那没有灵性的畜类一样,在这事上竟败坏了自己。他们有祸了。因为走了该隐的道路,又为利往巴兰的错谬里直奔,并在可拉的背叛中灭亡了。 But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam’s error and perished in Korah’s rebellion. (Jude 10-11, ESV)Read More →

你们要追念上古的事,因为我是神,并无别神,我是神,再没有能比我的。 我从起初指明末后的事,从古时言明未成的事,说,我的筹算必立定,凡我所喜悦的,我必成就。 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ (Isaiah‬ ‭46‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬)Read More →

诸天哪,自上而滴。穹苍降下公义,地面开裂,产出救恩,使公义一同发生,这都是我耶和华所造的。 Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the Lord have created it. (Isaiah 45:8 ESV)Read More →

从日出之地到日落之处,使人都知道除了我以外,没有别神,我是耶和华,在我以外并没有别神。  我造光,又造暗。我施平安,又降灾祸。造作这一切的是我耶和华。 that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things. (Isaiah 45:6-7, ESV)Read More →

造作你,又从你出胎造就你,并要帮助你的耶和华如此说,我的仆人雅各,我所拣选的耶书仑哪,不要害怕。 因为我要将水浇灌口渴的人,将河浇灌干旱之地。我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔,将我的福浇灌你的子孙。  Thus says the Lord who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you:Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground;I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. (Isaiah 44:2-3, ESV)Read More →

我必称颂那指教我的耶和华。我的心肠在夜间也警戒我。 我将耶和华常摆在我面前。因他在我右边,我便不至摇动。因此我的心欢喜,我的灵快乐。我的肉身也要安然居住。 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. (Psalm 16: 7-9 ESV)Read More →

压伤的芦苇,他不折断。将残的灯火,他不吹灭。他凭真实将公理传开。他不灰心,也不丧胆,直到他在地上设立公理。海岛都等候他的训诲。 a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be discouraged, till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law. (Isaiah 42:3-4, ESV)Read More →
