耶和华如此说：葡萄中寻得新酒， 人就说：不要毁坏， 因为福在其中。 我因我仆人的缘故也必照样而行， 不将他们全然毁灭。

这是什么意思？

In this verse, God is speaking and compares His people to grapes in a cluster. Just as one might say not to destroy a cluster of grapes because there is good wine in it, God promises not to destroy His people because there is a blessing in them.

儿童解释

Imagine you have a bunch of grapes and some are really good. You might tell your friend, 'Don't throw away the whole bunch because there are yummy grapes in there!' God is like that with His people. He says, 'Don't destroy them all because there's good stuff in them too.'

历史背景

This verse is from the book of Isaiah, written by the prophet Isaiah around 700 BCE. Isaiah was addressing the people of Judah, warning them of God's judgment but also offering hope and promises of restoration.
