他們心裏思想:他們的家室必永存,住宅必留到萬代;他們以自己的名稱自己的地。 11 Their tombs will remain their houses 49:11 Septuagint and Syriac; Hebrew ((In their thoughts their houses will remain)) forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had 49:11 Or ((for they have)) named lands after themselves.
但人居尊貴中不能長久,如同死亡的畜類一樣。 12 But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is 49:12 Hebrew; Septuagint and Syriac read verse 12 the same as verse 20. like the beasts that perish.
他們如同羊群派定下陰間;死亡必作他們的牧者。到了早晨,正直人必管轄他們;他們的美容必被陰間所滅,以致無處可存。 14 Like sheep they are destined for the grave, 49:14 Hebrew ((Sheol)); also in verse 15 and death will feed on them. The upright will rule over them in the morning; their forms will decay in the grave, 49:14 Hebrew ((Sheol)); also in verse 15 far from their princely mansions.
May 14 "In the selfsame day, as God had said unto him."(Gen. 17:23.) INSTANT obedience is the only kind of obedience there is; delayed obedience is disobedience. Every time God calls us to any duty, He is offering to make a covenant with us; doing the duty is our part, and He will do His part in special blessing. The only way we can obey is to obey "in the selfsame day," as Abraham did. To be sure, we often postpone a duty and then later on do it as fully as we can. It is better to do this than not to do it at all. But it is then, at the best, only a crippled, disfigured, half-way sort of duty-doing; and a postponed duty never can bring the full blessing that God intended, and that it would have brought if done at the earliest possible moment. It is a pity to rob ourselves, along with robbing God and others, by procrastination. "In the selfsame day" is the Genesis way of saying, "Do it now." ─Messages for the Morning Watch. Luther says that "a true believer will crucify the question, `Why?' He will obey without questioning." I will not be one of those who, except they see sign and wonders, will in no wise believe. I will obey without questioning. "Ours not to make reply, Ours not to reason why, Ours but to do and die." Obedience is the fruit of faith; patience, the bloom on the fruit. ─Christina Rossetti.
