The Inerasable Sins of Israel (Jeremiah 17:1-11)

지워지지않는이스라엘의죄(예레미야17:1-11)

1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars, 2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim, beside every green tree and on the high hills, 3 on the mountains in the open country. Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your high places for sin throughout all your territory. 4 You shall loosen your hand from your heritage that I gave to you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.” 5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. 6 He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. 8 He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” 9 The heart is deceitful can understand it? 10 “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” 11 Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but by justice; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool. 

1 “유다의죄는그들의마음판에철필로기록되어있고, 금강석촉으로새겨져있다. 그들의제단뿔위에도그죄가새겨져있다. 그들의제단뿔위에도그죄가새겨져있다. 2-3 자손은그기록을보고서, 조상이지은죄를기억할것이다. 온갖푸른나무곁에, 높은언덕에, 들판에있는여러산에, 그들의조상이쌓은제단과만들어세운아세라목상들을기억할것이다. 네가나라구석구석에서지은죄의값으로, 내가네모든재산과보물을약탈품으로원수에게넘겨주겠다. 4 그리고너는, 네몫으로받은땅에서쫓겨날것이며, 네가알지도못하는땅으로끌려가서, 네원수를섬기게될것이다. 너희가나의분노를불처럼타오르게하였으니, 이분노의불이영원히꺼지지않을것이다.” 5 “나주가말한다. 나주에게서마음을멀리하고, 오히려사람을의지하면, 사람이힘이되어주려니하고믿는자는저주를받을것이다. 6 그는황야에서자라는가시덤불같아서, 좋은일이오는것을볼수없을것이다. 그는, 소금기가많아서사람이살수도없는땅, 메마른사막에서살게될것이다.” 7 그러나주님을믿고의지하는사람은복을받을것이다. 8 그는물가에심은나무와같아서뿌리를개울가로뻗으니, 잎이언제나푸르므로, 무더위가닥쳐와도걱정이없고, 가뭄이심해도, 걱정이없다. 그나무는언제나열매를맺는다. 9 “만물보다더거짓되고아주썩은것은사람의마음이니, 누가그속을알수있습니까?” 10 “각사람의마음을살피고, 심장을감찰하며, 각사람의행실과행동에따라보상하는이는바로주다.” 11 불의로재산을모은사람은자기가낳지않은알을품는자고새와같아서, 인생의한창때에그재산을잃을것이며, 말년에는어리석은사람의신세가될것이다.

Main Idea

Today’s passage talks about the judgement that would be brought on by the sin of the idol worshipping people of Judah, and then it introduces the God who repays people according to their actions, depending on whether they trusted in God or in people.

본문은우상을숭배한유다의죄가가져올심판을언급한후, 하나님을의지하는지아니면사람을의지하는지에따라행한대로보응하실하나님을소개합니다.

Thinking, and Understanding

God declared that Judah’s sin would be remembered forever because it was engraved with a pen of iron (vv. 1-2). Those who place their trust in man would be coursed, while those who confidently placed their trust in God would be blessed. The be like trees planted by water which bear fruit. This is because they had placed their absolute trust in God, who is giver of life (vv. 3-11).

하나님은유다의죄가철필로새겨져있기에영원히기억될것이라고말씀하십니다. 죄뿐만아니라유다에임한심판과파괴도기억될것입니다(1-2). 인간을의지하는자들이저주를받을때, 하나님을확실히믿고의지하는자들은복을받을것입니다. 그들은어떤상황에서도생명력을잃지않고결실을맺는물가에심은나무와같이될것입니다(3-11절).

Who is God?

Vv. 9-11 Our Creator God, who is the creator of all people, knows our hearts best. He knows our thoughts and our feelings through and through because he constantly examines and tests us. He knows how corrupt we are. Therefore, he does not acknowledge the achievements of those who trust in idols, and makes those who are greedy, like partridges, pay the necessary price.

사람을지으신창조주가사람의마음을가장잘아십니다. 늘살피고시험하기에우리의감정과생각을샅샅이아십니다. 우리가얼마나부패한지아십니다. 그러니우상을의지하는자의성취를인정하지않으시고, 자고새처럼탐욕수러운자는꼭그대가를치르게하십니다. 

What lesson is God teaching us?

Vv . 1-2 The sin of Judah, who entrusted themselves to idols, would not be erased, denied or forgotten before God. This was because they were so wicked and stubborn that their hearts were engraved with their sin rather than God’s commandments, and the horns of their altars were also engraved with their sin instead of the blood of atonement. 

Let’s get ride of the idols in our lives before we love the ability to hear the word.

우상에게자신을맡긴유다의범죄는하나님앞에서지워지지도부정되지도, 망각되지도않을것입니다. 그들의마음에는주의계명대신죄가새겨져있고, 그들의제단뿔에도속죄의피대신죄가새겨져있을만큼완악하고완고했기때문입니다. 더는말씀이들리지않기전에내삶에서우상을걷어치웁시다.

P. A : what is my idols in those days? Money? Myself? 

          I think that my interest in those day can be my idols. 

          

무엇이요즘나의우상일까? 돈? 나자신? 요즘내가가지고있는특별한관심사가

나의우상으로빠질수있다는생각이든다. 

Tip 

17: 1-3 pen of iron…

             point of diamond.These were tools for carving on stone, which is what their hearthas become. ….beside every green try, on the high hills, on the mountains. Serving idols in every conceivable location is the sin engraved on their heats.
