上主要求先知做出巨大的犧牲：他的妻子將突然離世，而他卻無法為她哀悼，無法向同胞們表達極度的悲痛。

先知這種反常的行為預示了被擄的以色列人對耶路撒冷陷落的反應。

上主決定以最殘酷的方式懲罰祂的子民。他們別無選擇，只能接受。

這帶給我們啟示：即使我們不喜歡，也要接受上主對我們人生的決定。

最終，重要的不是我們是否喜歡上主的決定，而是主希望我們如何與祂合一的方法。

God ask the prophet a great sacrifice: his wife will suddenly day and he will not mourn her, in a vey sad way of grieving without being able to who it to his countrymen.

Through this strange way of behaving the prophet will anticipate the way the exiles will react to the fall of Jerusalem.

God has decided to punish his people in the most terrible way. They cannot but accept it.

This becomes a suggestion for us: to accept God’s decisions on our life, even if we do not like them. In the end, what matters is not whether we like God’s decisions or not. What matters is the way the Lord wants us to be united with him.
