「耶和华说，恶人必不得平安！」（22节）

经文
以赛亚书四十八12-22

12雅各─我所选召的以色列啊，当听我言：我是耶和华，我是首先的，也是末后的。

13我手立了地的根基；我右手铺张诸天；我一招呼便都立住。

14你们都当聚集而听，他们（或译：偶像）内中谁说过这些事？耶和华所爱的人必向巴比伦行他所喜悦的事；他的膀臂也要加在迦勒底人身上。

15惟有我曾说过，我又选召他，领他来，他的道路就必亨通。

16你们要就近我来听这话：我从起头并未曾在隐密处说话；自从有这事，我就在那里。现在，主耶和华差遣我和他的灵来（或译：耶和华和他的灵差遣我来）。

17耶和华─你的救赎主，以色列的圣者如此说：我是耶和华─你的神，教训你，使你得益处，引导你所当行的路。

18甚愿你素来听从我的命令！你的平安就如河水；你的公义就如海浪。

19你的后裔也必多如海沙；你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒。他的名在我面前必不剪除，也不灭绝。

20你们要从巴比伦出来，从迦勒底人中逃脱，以欢呼的声音传扬说：耶和华救赎了他的仆人雅各！你们要将这事宣扬到地极。

21耶和华引导他们经过沙漠。他们并不干渴；他为他们使水从磐石而流，分裂磐石，水就涌出。

22耶和华说：恶人必不得平安！

" 'There is no peace,' says the Lord, 'for the wicked.' " (v.22)

Bible reading:
Isaiah 48:12-22

12 "Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last.

13 My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they all stand up together.

14 "Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things? The Lord's chosen ally will carry out his purpose against Babylon; his arm will be against the Babylonians.[a]

15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him. I will bring him, and he will succeed in his mission.

16 "Come near me and listen to this: "From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there." And now the Sovereign Lord has sent me, endowed with his Spirit.

17 This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.

18 If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea.

19 Your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be blotted out nor destroyed from before me."

20 Leave Babylon, flee from the Babylonians! Announce this with shouts of joy and proclaim it. Send it out to the ends of the earth; say, "The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob."

21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and water gushed out.

22 "There is no peace," says the Lord, "for the wicked."
