Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler’s scepter.’“ This is a lament and is to be used as a lament.”

One of its main branches was Zedekiah. Fire spread from it and burned up its fruit. None of its branches is good enough to be made into a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a song of sadness. And that is how it should be used.”

And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots, has consumed its fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation.

A fire has burst out from its branches and devoured its fruit. Its remaining limbs are not strong enough to be a ruler’s scepter.“ This is a funeral song, and it will be used in a funeral.”

因此，耶和華向耶路撒冷和猶大的人發怒，把他們從祂面前趕走。後來，西底迦背叛了巴比倫王。

這棵你親手栽種和培育的葡萄樹。這樹被砍倒，被焚燒，願你發怒毀滅仇敵。

它的枝子粗壯，可作王的杖。它的樹幹高大，直插雲霄，枝葉茂密，遠遠可見。

「你要為以色列的首領唱哀歌，

邪惡像燃燒的火焰，焚毀荊棘和蒺藜，點燃密林，煙柱旋轉上騰。萬軍之耶和華的烈怒必如火一般燒焦大地，人們成為燒火的柴，甚至弟兄彼此相煎。

我心裡極為憂愁，痛苦不止！為了我的弟兄——我的同胞以色列人，即使我自己被咒詛、與基督隔絕，我也願意！身為以色列人，他們擁有上帝兒子的名分、上帝的榮耀、諸約、律法、聖殿敬拜和各種應許。

以色列人也要有許多日子沒有君王和首領，沒有祭祀和神柱，也沒有以弗得和家庭神像。

尼布甲尼撒曾讓他奉上帝的名起誓，他卻背叛了尼布甲尼撒。他頑固不化，不肯歸向以色列的上帝耶和華。

你這邪惡敗壞的以色列首領啊！你的結局到了，審判你的日子來了。』主耶和華說，『取下你的頭巾，摘下你的冠冕吧，時局轉變了。要提拔卑微的，貶抑高貴的。毀滅，毀滅，我要毀滅這國，使它蕩然無存，直到那應得的人來到後，這國才能得到重建，我要把這國交給他。』

耶和華膏立的王——我們的生命之氣落入他們的陷阱。我們原希望藉他的蔭庇立足於列國中。

荊棘回答說，『倘若你們誠心立我為你們的王，就投靠在我的蔭下吧；不然，願火從荊棘中冒出來吞噬黎巴嫩的香柏樹。』

眾人喊道：「除掉祂！除掉祂！把祂釘在十字架上！」彼拉多說：「我可以把你們的王釘在十字架上嗎？」祭司長答道：「除了凱撒，我們沒有別的王！」

那時他們會說：「我們沒有君王，因為我們不敬畏耶和華。君王能為我們做什麼呢？」

「你的嬪妃和兒女必被交給迦勒底人，你也逃不掉，必被巴比倫王所擒。這城也要被付之一炬。」

王權必不離猶大，御杖必伴他左右，直到那位執掌王權的來到，萬民都必歸順他。

耶穌快到耶路撒冷時，看見那城就哀哭，

因此，耶和華向耶路撒冷和猶大的人發怒，把他們從祂面前趕走。後來，西底迦背叛了巴比倫王。

他起誓降服，卻棄約背誓，所以絕不能逃避後果。因此，主耶和華說，『我憑我的永恆起誓，他既藐視與我所立的誓言，背棄與我所定的約，我必懲罰他。我要撒開網羅抓住他，把他帶到巴比倫，審判他對我不忠的罪。

因為他們吞噬了雅各，摧毀了他的家園。

「到那日，我要重建已傾覆的大衛王朝，修補它城牆的缺口。我要從廢墟中重建它，恢復它往日的榮耀。

你要對南地的樹林說，『你要聽耶和華的話。主耶和華說，我要在你那裡燃起火來，燒毀你所有的青樹和枯樹。這不熄的烈火要從南到北燒焦一切。

它只能用來當柴燒。如果火已經燒了它的兩頭，中間也燒黑了，它還有什麼用呢？

因為我們的罪過，這地方的豐富出產都歸給了那些你派來統管我們的王。他們隨意統管我們和我們的牲畜。我們生活在極大的苦難中。
