幾天前，我們讀到先知耶肋米亞的一些經文，其中提到人們盼望拿步高的統治被推翻，被擄的百姓能夠返回故土。

今天的經文記載了厄則克耳對被擄到巴比倫的百姓抱持這種虛假希望的回應。

厄則克耳描述了被擄的百姓離開耶路撒冷城的情景，他特別提到了那位試圖逃跑卻在耶路撒冷陷落後被捕的國王。

很多時候，我們都會陷入人為的希望之中，而這些希望並不能幫助我們更親近主。

我們必須時時提醒自己，正如保祿所說的，我們當下的生活本身就是一種流亡，但我們每天都可以回到我們真正的家——與主的會話。

Days ago, we read some texts of the prophet Jeremiah concerning the hope that the reign of Nebuchadnezzar would be toppled and the exiles return.

Today’s text reports Ezekiel’s response to such a false hope among the exiles in Babylon.

Ezekiel enacts the departure of the exiles from the city, in a special way he speaks of the king, who tried to escape but was caught after the fall of Jerusalem.

Many times, we are prey to human hopes that do not help us to come closer to the Lord.

It is necessary to remind ourselves that our present life is an exile, as Paul says, and that we can every day return to our real home, our dialogue with the Lord.
