Righteous men were persecuted, but by the lawless; they were imprisoned, but by the unholy; they were stoned by transgressors; they were slain by those who had taken up an abominable and unrighteous jealousy.
45:5
ταῦταπάσχοντεςεὐκλεῶςἤνεγκαν
他們受了這些苦，卻榮耀地擔當了。
Suffering these things, they bore them gloriously.
Or were Ananias and Azarias and Misael shut up in the fiery furnace by those who worshiped the magnificent and glorious worship of the Most High? By no means may such a thing be! Who then were they who did these things? They were the hateful and the full of all wickedness, who were stirred up to such a pitch of fury as to cast into torment those who served God with a holy and blameless purpose, not knowing that the Most High is the champion and defender of those who worship His all-virtuous name with a pure conscience; to whom be glory unto the ages of ages. Amen.
But those who endured in confidence inherited glory and honor; they were exalted and were inscribed by God in His memorial unto the ages of ages. Amen.
