12月4日 蔑视演变成挑衅

士12:1-4
以法莲人聚集、到了北方、对耶弗他说、你去与亚扪人争战、为甚么没有招我们同去呢.我们必用火烧你和你的房屋。耶弗他对他们说、我和我的民与亚扪人大大争战.我招你们来、你们竟没有来救我脱离他们的手。我见你们不来救我、我就拚命前去攻击亚扪人、耶和华将他们交在我手中.你们今日为甚么上我这里来攻打我呢。于是耶弗他招聚基列人、与以法莲人争战.基列人击杀以法莲人、是因他们说、你们基列人在以法莲玛拿西中间、不过是以法莲逃亡的人。
The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, "Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn't call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you with fire!" Jephthah said to them, "I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn't save me out of their hand. When I saw that you didn't save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?" Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh."
主耶稣!以法莲蔑视基列人,向耶弗他挑衅。主啊!心里所隐藏的恶,必然会显示在外。我承认我有种族歧视,蔑视他们的文化,在言语和行为上显得无礼,求祢的赦免,拯救,医治我的软弱,以尊重代替蔑视。
