W5 2013-11-08以賽亞書5
5:1 我要為我所親愛的唱歌，是我所愛者的歌，論他葡萄園的事：我所親愛的有葡萄園在肥美的山岡上。
5:2 他刨挖園子，撿去石頭，栽種上等的葡萄樹，在園中蓋了一座樓，又鑿出壓酒池；指望結好葡萄，反倒結了野葡萄。
5:3 耶路撒冷的居民和猶大人哪，請你們現今在我與我的葡萄園中，斷定是非。
5:4 我為我葡萄園所做之外，還有甚麼可做的呢？我指望結好葡萄，怎麼倒結了野葡萄呢？
5:5 現在我告訴你們，我要向我葡萄園怎樣行：我必撤去籬笆，使它被吞滅，拆毀牆垣，使它被踐踏。
5:6 我必使它荒廢，不再修理，不再鋤刨，荊棘蒺藜倒要生長。我也必命雲不降雨在其上。
5:7 萬軍之耶和華的葡萄園就是以色列家；他所喜愛的樹就是猶大人。他指望的是公平，誰知倒有暴虐（或譯：倒流人血）；指望的是公義，誰知倒有冤聲。
默想: 以色列人就是上帝所造的葡萄園，上帝所喜愛的樹就是猶太人。上帝指望在以色列人當中，有公平。但是，上帝的百姓反到施行暴虐，上帝指望在這些選民當中有公義，但是他們所行卻帶來處處冤聲。(7)上帝本來期待這個葡萄園能夠結出好葡萄，但是這些百姓只結出了野葡萄。(2)先知表明了以色列人雖然在上帝特別揀選的恩典中，但是，他們所行卻違反了上帝的心意，沒有活出選民的形象。所以上帝要撤去籬笆，使他們不再被保護，被外邦所統治吞滅。拆毀他們的牆垣，使敵人的攻擊臨到，可以輕易的傷害上帝的子民。上帝將任由他的子民荒廢，不再修理，人們將看這個「葡萄園」的荒涼，上帝不再賜下祂的恩典、保守看顧在這以色列人的身上。
先知用「葡萄園」來象徵以色列人因為不遵行上帝公義的旨意，而遭上帝棄絕的審判。這提醒我們，我們在恩典中，有無活出恩典的樣子，我們是活出公義，還是為自己的私利而活，求神幫助我們，使我們的生命，滿滿有上帝恩典的形象。
題目: 本章中葡萄園之歌所想要表達的是什麼呢？
5:1 我要為我所親愛的唱歌，是我所愛者的歌，論他葡萄園的事：我所親愛的有葡萄園在肥美的山岡上。
Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: a very...: Heb. the horn of the son of oil
5:2 他刨挖園子，撿去石頭，栽種上等的葡萄樹，在園中蓋了一座樓，又鑿出壓酒池；指望結好葡萄，反倒結了野葡萄。

5:4 我為我葡萄園所做之外，還有甚麼可做的呢？我指望結好葡萄，怎麼倒結了野葡萄呢？
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5:5 現在我告訴你們，我要向我葡萄園怎樣行：我必撤去籬笆，使它被吞滅，拆毀牆垣，使它被踐踏。

5:7 萬軍之耶和華的葡萄園就是以色列家；他所喜愛的樹就是猶大人。他指望的是公平，誰知倒有暴虐（或譯：倒流人血）；指望的是公義，誰知倒有冤聲。

5:11 禍哉！那些清早起來追求濃酒，留連到夜深，甚至因酒發燒的人。
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! inflame: of, pursue
5:12 他們在筵席上彈琴，鼓瑟，擊鼓，吹笛，飲酒，卻不顧念耶和華的作為，也不留心他手所做的。
And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
5:13 所以，我的百姓因無知就被擄去；他們的尊貴人甚是飢餓，群眾極其乾渴。
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. honourable...: Heb. glory are men of famine
5:14 故此，陰間擴張其欲，開了無限量的口；他們的榮耀、群眾、繁華，並快樂的人都落在其中。
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
5:15 卑賤人被壓服；尊貴人降為卑；眼目高傲的人也降為卑。

5:18 禍哉！那些以虛假之細繩牽罪孽的人！他們又像以套繩拉罪惡，

That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it : and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it !
5:20 禍哉！那些稱惡為善，稱善為惡，以暗為光，以光為暗，以苦為甜，以甜為苦的人。

5:22 禍哉！那些勇於飲酒，以能力調濃酒的人。

5:23 他們因受賄賂，就稱惡人為義，將義人的義奪去。
Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
5:24 火苗怎樣吞滅碎秸，乾草怎樣落在火焰之中，照樣，他們的根必像朽物，他們的花必像灰塵飛騰；因為他們厭棄萬軍之耶和華的訓誨，藐視以色列聖者的言語。
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. fire: Heb. tongue of fire
5:25 所以，耶和華的怒氣向他的百姓發作。他的手伸出攻擊他們，山嶺就震動；他們的屍首在街市上好像糞土。雖然如此，他的怒氣還未轉消；他的手仍伸不縮。
Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. torn: or, as dung
5:26 他必豎立大旗，招遠方的國民，發嘶聲叫他們從地極而來；看哪，他們必急速奔來。
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
5:27 其中沒有疲倦的，絆跌的；沒有打盹的，睡覺的；腰帶並不放鬆，鞋帶也不折斷。
None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
5:28 他們的箭快利，弓也上了弦。馬蹄算如堅石，車輪好像旋風。
Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
5:29 他們要吼叫，像母獅子，咆哮，像少壯獅子；他們要咆哮抓食，坦然叼去，無人救回。
Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it .
5:30 那日，他們要向以色列人吼叫，像海浪匉訇；人若望地，只見黑暗艱難，光明在雲中變為昏暗。
And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof. sorrow: or, distress and the light...: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof
