哈巴谷书 2:20 唯耶和华在祂的圣殿中，全地的人都当在祂面前肃敬静默。
读经文: 哈巴谷书 2:15-20
15 「给人酒喝，又加上毒物使他喝醉，好看见他下体的有祸了！ 16 你满受羞辱，不得荣耀。你也喝吧！显出是未受割礼的。耶和华右手的杯必传到你那里，你的荣耀就变为大大的羞辱。 17 你向黎巴嫩行强暴与残害惊吓野兽的事，必遮盖你，因你杀人流血，向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴。
在哈巴谷的第二章里指出迦勒底人的五个大罪，其中的两个大罪是：第四祸使邻舍醉酒，并行淫乱(2:15)：给人酒喝，又加上毒物使他喝醉，好看见他下体（2:15）。第五祸是雕刻铸造偶像（2:18-19）：对木偶说『醒起！』，对哑巴石像说『起来！』，那人有祸了！
给人酒喝，又加上毒物使他喝醉，以致露对方的下体，指出迦勒底人的淫乱之举。他们以为战胜诸国必大得荣耀，谁知却因他们的强暴淫乱杀人，以及残害惊吓野兽的事，神要使他们的荣耀变为羞辱。这里先知指出一个人未曾看重的事情，就是残害惊吓野兽。坊间有时会传出有人虐待动物的新闻，小至使牠们饿死渴死，大至玩弄伤害牠们。

Today’s passage is Hosea 10:1-15. Let’s go!
Hosea 10:1-15 (NIV)
1 Israel was a spreading vine; he brought forth fruit for himself. As his fruit increased, he built more altars; as his land prospered, he adorned his sacred stones.
2 Their heart is deceitful, and now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will demolish their altars and destroy their sacred stones.
3 Then they will say, “We have no king because we did not revere the LORD. But even if we had a king, what could he do for us?”
4 They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements; therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.
On verses 1-15: Here are four lessons I learned from Hosea 10.
1. Hosea 10 describes Israel’s situation as well as our own. God made us to live righteously and to obey His commands (“sow righteousness” – v12). In return, God would give us His unfailing love (“reap unfailing love” – v12) and “shower righteousness” on us (v12). But we did not live up to our end of the relationship. Instead of living righteously, we “planted wickedness” (v13), depending on our own strength and worshiping other people, places and things. We have deceitful motives (v2). We have made promises we couldn’t keep (“false oaths”) and hurt people in the process (v4), ending up in all kinds of disputes and fighting.
哈巴谷书 2:14 认识耶和华荣耀的知识要充满遍地，好像水充满洋海一般。
读经文: 哈巴谷书 2:9-14
9 为本家积蓄不义之财，在高处搭窝，指望免灾的有祸了！ 10 你图谋剪除多国的民，犯了罪，使你的家蒙羞，自害己命。 11 墙里的石头必呼叫，房内的栋梁必应声。12 以人血建城，以罪孽立邑的有祸了！
哈巴谷向神发出两个问题：第一个问题： 为什么神不惩罚恶人 （1:1-4）？神说，要派迦勒底人来惩罚犹大。哈巴谷对神的回答不满意，又问了第二个问题，想到迦勒底人的凶残和暴虐，他反过来要捍卫犹大子民，反对神透过迦勒底人将带来的严酷审判。但是神回答哈巴谷，不管神的审判是用怎样的方法，全世界的人只有一种保存自己性命的方法，那就是义人因信得生。
哈巴谷从异象中指出了迦勒底人也在神的审判之中，并指出其中的五祸，也可以算是五罪。第一祸是给醉酒的和掠夺的 (2:5)：迦勒底人因酒诡诈、狂傲，不住在家中，扩充心欲好像阴间。他如死不能知足，聚集万国，堆积万民，都归自己。

Today’s passage is Hosea 9:1-17. Let’s go!
Hosea 9:1-17 (NIV)
1 Do not rejoice, O Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor.
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people; the new wine will fail them.
3 They will not remain in the LORD’s land; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
4 They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, nor will their sacrifices please him. Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat them will be unclean. This food will be for themselves; it will not come into the temple of the LORD.
However, as we hear about over and over in the book of Hosea, the Israelites lived in persistent rebellion against God and repeatedly broke God’s heart.
God’s broken heart is not the only result of the Israelites’ rebellion. As Pastor Jon Courson wisely notes, Hosea 9 shows us a number of problems that the Israelites would experience as a result of continually rebelling against God. These are the same problems we experience when we keep ignoring or forgetting about God.
