“上帝啊!我们因自己 恶行和大罪,遭遇了这一切的事,并且祢刑罚我们轻于我们罪所当得的,又给我们留下这些人”(拉9:13)。[1]

God Is Faithful
And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this.Ezra 9:13.{WGD 153.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第151章
上帝向恶人所施的容忍常使世人在罪中更加胆大妄为;但是他们所应受的刑罚并不因长久耽延而影响其威力及其必然性。……虽然祂不以报应为乐,但祂必要在违犯祂律法的人身上执行审判。祂不得不如此作,为要保全地上居民免致全然堕落与败亡。为要多拯救一些人起见,祂必须剪除那些在罪中怙恶不悛的人。“耶和华不轻易发怒,大有能力,万不以有罪的为无罪”(鸿1:3)。 藉着在公义之中所行可怕的事,祂必要维护祂那被人践踏之律法的权威。而且祂的迟迟不愿执行审判,正足以说明那招致祂刑罚的罪是何等严重,又说明那等待着违犯律法之人的报应是何等的可怕。(PP 628)[2]
黎明的灵修-第151章
The forbearance that God has exercised toward the wicked emboldens men in transgression; but their punishment will be none the less certain and terrible for being long delayed.... While He does not delight in vengeance, He will execute judgment upon the transgressors of His law. He is forced to do this, to preserve the inhabitants of the earth from utter depravity and ruin. In order to save some, He must cut off those who have become hardened in sin. “The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.” By terrible things in righteousness He will vindicate the authority of His downtrodden law. And the very fact of His reluctance to execute justice, testifies to the enormity of the sins that call forth His judgments, and to the severity of the retribution awaiting the transgressor.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 628.{WGD 153.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第151章
与古时一样,祂恳劝那些自称是祂子民却又不断犯错的人悔改,由他们所作的恶行中转回。祂如今和先前一样,藉着祂所拣选的仆人,向他们预告当前的危险。祂正象耶利米时代一样如实地发出警告,斥责罪恶。但今日的以色列民,同样面对漠视指责和恨恶劝告的试探,有如古时的以色列人一般。他们也时常掩耳不听上帝藉着祂仆人给予自称相信真理之人的话语。主虽象在耶利米的日子一样,本着怜悯暂时没有报应他们的罪恶,但祂不会永远住手,而必用公义的审判惩罚罪孽。(4T 165)[3]
黎明的灵修-第151章
As of old, He entreats the erring ones who profess His name to repent and turn from their evil ways. Now, as then, by the mouth of His chosen servants He predicts the dangers before them. He sounds the note of warning, and reproves sin just as faithfully as in the days of Jeremiah. But the Israel of our time have the same temptations to scorn reproof and hate counsel as had ancient Israel. They too often turn a deaf ear to the words that God has given His servants for the benefit of those who profess the truth. Though the Lord in mercy withholds for a time the retribution of their sin, ... He will not always stay His hand, but will visit iniquity with righteous judgment.—Testimonies for the Church 4:165, 166.{WGD 153.3}[3]
