Abstract

Although functioning primarily as a priest and a prophet, Ezekiel frequently utilized literary devices drawn from the wisdom tradition. The end to which he applied the tools of the wise was, however, far from typical. Where the counsel of the sages generally emphasized prudence and conformity, Ezekiel deployed sapiential speech forms within a disruptive rhetorical strategy designed to subvert debased institutions, delusional cult ideology, and aggrandizing historical narrative. This essay examines two examples from the prophet’s extensive repertoire, highlighting his idiosyncratic but devastatingly effective use of satire.
以西结书》神谕中的讽刺与颠覆
虽然以西结的主要身份是祭司和先知,但他经常使用智慧传统中的文学手法。然而,他运用智慧工具的目的远非一般。圣人的建议通常强调谨慎和顺从,而以西结则在一种破坏性的修辞策略中运用了智慧的语言形式,旨在颠覆堕落的制度、妄想的邪教意识形态和膨胀的历史叙事。这篇文章研究了先知大量作品中的两个例子,突出了他对讽刺的独特但极具破坏性的有效运用。
