1 وكانت اليّ كلمة الرب قائلة.

2 يا ابن آدم عرّف اورشليم برجاساتها

3 وقل. هكذا قال السيد الرب لاورشليم. مخرجك ومولدك من ارض كنعان. ابوك اموري وامك حثية.

4 اما ميلادك يوم ولدت فلم تقطع سرتك ولم تغسلي بالماء للتنظّف ولم تملّحي تمليحا ولم تقمّطي تقميطا.

5 لم تشفق عليك عين لتصنع لك واحدة من هذه لترق لك. بل طرحت على وجه الحقل بكراهة نفسك يوم ولدت.

6 فمررت بك ورأيتك مدوسة بدمك فقلت لك بدمك عيشي. قلت لك بدمك عيشي.

7 جعلتك ربوة كنبات الحقل فربوت وكبرت وبلغت زينة الازيان. نهد ثدياك ونبت شعرك وقد كنت عريانة وعارية.

8 فمررت بك ورأيتك واذ زمنك زمن الحب. فبسطت ذيلي عليك وسترت عورتك وحلفت لك ودخلت معك في عهد يقول السيد الرب فصرت لي.

9 فحمّمتك بالماء وغسلت عنك دماءك ومسحتك بالزيت.

10 وألبستك مطرزة ونعلتك بالتّخس وازرتك بالكتان وكسوتك بزا.

11 وحليتك بالحلي فوضعت اسورة في يديك وطوقا في عنقك.

12 ووضعت خزامة في انفك واقراطا في اذنيك وتاج جمال على راسك.

13 فتحليت بالذهب والفضة ولباسك الكتان والبز والمطرز. وأكلت السميذ والعسل والزيت وجملت جدا جدا فصلحت لمملكة.

14 وخرج لك اسم في الامم لجمالك لانه كان كاملا ببهائي الذي جعلته عليك يقول السيد الرب

15 فاتكلت على جمالك وزنيت على اسمك وسكبت زناك على كل عابر فكان له.

16 وأخذت من ثيابك وصنعت لنفسك مرتفعات موشّاة وزنيت عليها. أمر لم يأت ولم يكن.

17 واخذت امتعة زينتك من ذهبي ومن فضتي التي اعطيتك وصنعت لنفسك صور ذكور وزنيت بها.

18 واخذت ثيابك المطرزة وغطيتها بها ووضعت امامها زيتي وبخوري.

19 وخبزي الذي اعطيتك السميذ والزيت والعسل الذي اطعمتك وضعتها امامها رائحة سرور وهكذا كان يقول السيد الرب

20 اخذت بنيك وبناتك الذين ولدتهم لي وذبحتهم لها طعاما. أهو قليل من زناك

21 انك ذبحت بنيّ وجعلتهم يجوزون في النار لها.

22 وفي كل رجاساتك وزناك لم تذكري ايام صباك اذ كنت عريانة وعارية وكنت مدوسة بدمك.

23 وكان بعد كل شرّك. ويل ويل لك يقول السيد الرب.

24 انك بنيت لنفسك قبّة وصنعت لنفسك مرتفعة في كل شارع.

25 في راس كل طريق بنيت مرتفعتك ورجّست جمالك وفرّجت رجليك لكل عابر واكثرت زناك.

26 وزنيت مع جيرانك بني مصر الغلاظ اللحم وزدت في زناك لاغاظتي

27 فهانذا قد مددت يدي عليك ومنعت عنك فريضتك واسلمتك لمرام مبغضاتك بنات الفلسطينيين اللواتي يخجلن من طريقك الرذيلة.

28 وزنيت مع بني اشور اذ كنت لم تشبعي فزنيت بهم ولم تشبعي ايضا.

29 وكثرت زناك في ارض كنعان الى ارض الكلدانيين وبهذا ايضا لم تشبعي.

30 ما امرض قلبك يقول السيد الرب اذ فعلت كل هذا فعل امرأة زانية سليطة

31 ببنائك قبّتك في راس كل طريق وصنعتك مرتفعتك في كل شارع. ولم تكوني كزانية بل محتقرة الأجرة.

32 ايتها الزوجة الفاسقة تاخذ اجنبيين مكان زوجها.

33 لكل الزواني يعطون هدية. اما انت فقد اعطيت كل محبيك هداياك ورشيتهم ليأتوك من كل جانب للزنا بك

34 وصار فيك عكس عادة النساء في زناك اذ لم يزن وراءك بل انت تعطين اجرة ولا اجرة تعطى لك فصرت بالعكس

35 فلذلك يا زانية اسمعي كلام الرب.

36 هكذا قال السيد الرب. من اجل انه قد انفق نحاسك وانكشفت عورتك بزناك بمحبيك وبكل اصنام رجاساتك ولدماء بنيك الذين بذلتهم لها

37 لذلك هانذا اجمع جميع محبيك الذين لذذت لهم وكل الذين احببتهم مع كل الذين ابغضتهم فاجمعهم عليك من حولك واكشف عورتك لهم لينظروا كل عورتك.

38 واحكم عليك احكام الفاسقات السافكات الدم واجعلك دم السخط والغيرة.

39 واسلمك ليدهم فيهدمون قبتك ويهدمون مرتفعاتك وينزعون عنك ثيابك وياخذون ادوات زينتك ويتركونك عريانة وعارية . ً

40 ويصعدون عليك جماعة ويرجمونك بالحجارة ويقطعونك بسيوفهم.

41 ويحرقون بيوتك بالنار ويجرون عليك احكاما قدام عيون نساء كثيرة. واكفّك عن الزنى وايضا لا تعطين اجرة بعد.

42 وأحل غضبي بك فتنصرف غيرتي عنك فاسكن ولا اغضب بعد.

43 من اجل انك لم تذكري ايام صباك بل اسخطتني في كل هذا فهانذا ايضا اجلب طريقك على راسك يقول السيد الرب فلا تفعلين هذه الرذيلة فوق رجاساتك كلها

44 هوذا كل ضارب مثل يضرب مثلا عليك قائلا مثل الام بنتها.

45 ابنة امك انت الكارهة زوجها وبنيها. وانت اخت اخواتك اللواتي كرهن ازواجهنّ وابناءهنّ . ‎ امكنّ حثية وابوكنّ أموري.

46 واختك الكبرى السامرة هي وبناتها الساكنة عن شمالك. واختك الصغرى الساكنة عن يمينك هي سدوم وبناتها.

47 ولا في طريقهنّ سلكت ولا مثل رجاساتهنّ فعلت كأن ذلك قليل فقط ففسدت اكثر منهنّ في كل طرقك.

48 حيّ انا يقول السيد الرب ان سدوم اختك لم تفعل هي ولا بناتها كما فعلت انت وبناتك.

49 هذا كان اثم اختك سدوم الكبرياء والشبع من الخبز وسلام الاطمئنان كان لها ولبناتها ولم تشدد يد الفقير والمسكين.

50 وتكبّرنّ وعملن الرجس امامي فنزعتهنّ كما رأيت.

51 ولم تخطئ السامرة نصف خطاياك. بل زدت رجاساتك اكثر منهنّ وبرّرت اخواتك بكل رجاساتك التي فعلت.

52 فاحملي ايضا خزيك انت القاضية على اخواتك. بخطاياك التي بها رجست اكثر منهنّ هنّ ابرّ منك. فاخجلي انت ايضا واحملي عارك بتبريرك اخواتك.

53 وأرجّع سبيهنّ سبي سدوم وبناتها وسبي السامرة وبناتها وسبي مسبييك في وسطها

54 لكي تحملي عارك وتخزي من كل ما فعلت بتعزيتك اياهنّ.

55 واخواتك سدوم وبناتها يرجعن الى حالتهنّ القديمة والسامرة وبناتها يرجعن الى حالتهنّ القديمة وانت وبناتك ترجعن الى حالتكنّ القديمة.

56 واختك سدوم لم تكن تذكر في فمك يوم كبريائك

57 قبل ما انكشف شرّك كما في زمان تعيير بنات ارام وكل من حولها بنات الفلسطينيين اللواتي يحتقرنك من كل جهة.

58 رذيلتك ورجاساتك انت تحملينها يقول الرب

59 لانه هكذا قال السيد الرب اني افعل بك كما فعلت اذ ازدريت بالقسم لنكث العهد.

60 ولكني اذكر عهدي معك في ايام صباك واقيم لك عهدا ابديا.

61 فتتذكرين طرقك وتخجلين اذ تقبلين اخواتك الكبر والصغر واجعلهنّ لك بنات ولكن لا بعهدك.

62 وانا اقيم عهدي معك فتعلمين اني انا الرب.

63 لكي تتذكري فتخزي ولا تفتحي فاك بعد بسبب خزيك حين اغفر لك كل ما فعلت يقول السيد الرب

8875. 'A jealous God' means that as a result there is falsity and evil. This is clear from the consideration that in the genuine sense 'a jealous God' means the Divine Truth of Divine Good, since 'God' has reference to truth, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921 (end), 4287, 4402, 7010, 7268, 8301, and 'jealous' to good, as will be seen below. But so far as those who do not receive the Divine Truth of the Lord's Divine Good are concerned, 'a jealous God' is falsity and evil. For those who are opposed to Him perceive Divine Truth as falsity, and Divine Good as evil; for the way in which everyone sees that Truth and Good is determined by what he really is in himself. So it is that the Lord's zeal, 1 which in itself is love and compassion, is seen by them as anger; for when the Lord in love and mercy protects His own in heaven those ruled by evil are indignant and angry with the good. They plunge into the sphere where Divine Good and Divine Truth are, endeavouring to destroy those who are there. But then the Divine Truth of Divine Good acts on them and causes them to experience torments like those suffered in hell. As a consequence of this they attribute wrath and anger, and also all evil, to the Divine, when in fact there is no anger whatever in the Divine, nor any evil whatever, only pure forbearance and mercy.

[2] From all this it is evident why 'jealous' means falsity and evil, and why 'zeal' means anger. See what has been shown already about them, that is to say, in the following places,

Wrath and anger are attributed to the Lord, when in fact they exist with those who are ruled by evil or who are full of anger against the Divine, 5798, 6997, 8284, 8483.

Evil things, punishments, and times of vastation are in a similar way attributed to the Lord, when in fact nothing except love and mercy reside with the Lord, 2447, 6071, 6559, 6991, 6997, 7533, 7632, 7643, 7679, 7710, 7877, 7926, 8214, 8223, 8226-8228, 8282, 8632.

Through their endeavour to destroy goodness and truth the evil bring about their own devastation and cast themselves into damnation and hell, 7643, 7679, 7710, 7926, 7989.

The way in which everyone sees the Lord is determined by what he is within himself, 1861 (end), 6832, 8197.

[3] The places in the Word which are quoted below will show that 'the zeal of the Lord' is love and mercy, and that when the Lord protects the good against the evil it seems like hostility, and also like anger.

The zeal of the Lord is love and mercy.

In Isaiah,

Look out from heaven, and see from the dwelling-place of Your holiness and of Your glory. And where are Your zeal and Your might? The yearning of Your loins, 2 and Your compassion, 3 towards me have held themselves back. Isaiah 63:15.

'Zeal' here stands for mercy, which is 'a yearning of the loins' and has reference to good. For where it says 'Your zeal and Your might' the word 'zeal' has reference to good, and the word 'might' to truth; and 'the yearning of the loins' likewise has reference to good, and 'compassion' to truth. In a like manner 'the dwelling-place of holiness' stands for the heaven where members of the celestial kingdom live, and 'the dwelling-place of glory' for the heaven where members of the spiritual kingdom live. From this too it is evident that where good is referred to in the Word, truth is referred to as well, on account of the heavenly marriage, which is the marriage of good and truth, in every individual part of the Word. This is so in the case of the Lord's two names Jesus and Christ; they are a sign of the Divine marriage within the Lord. Regarding these matters, see 683, 793, 801, 2516, 4138 (end), 5138, 5502, 6343, 7945, 8339 (end).

[4] In the same prophet,

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder; and His name is called' 4 Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there will be no end. The zeal of Jehovah will do this. Isaiah 9:6-7.

This refers to the Lord and His Coming. 'The zeal of Jehovah will do this' stands for His acting from a love that burns to save the human race. In the same prophet,

Out of Jerusalem will go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah will do this. Isaiah 37:32.

'The zeal of Jehovah will do this' stands for His acting out of love and mercy.

[5] In Ezekiel,

Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name. 5 Ezekiel 39:25.

'Being jealous' stands for having mercy. In David, The zeal of Your house has devoured me. Psalms 69:9.

This refers to the Lord. 'The zeal of Jehovah's house' stands for love towards those who receive goodness and truth; for they are Jehovah's house.

[6] The Lord's zeal or mercy when He protects the good seems like hostility.

In Isaiah,

Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war He will arouse zeal; He will shout aloud and cry out, He will prevail over His enemies. Isaiah 42:13.

And in Joel,

Jehovah will be jealous for His land, and spare His people. Joel 2:18.

[7] The Lord's zeal is called anger and wrath because mercy is seen as such by the evil.

In Moses,

You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are round about you (for Jehovah your God in the midst of you is a jealous God), lest perhaps the anger of Jehovah your God flare up against you and destroy you from the face of the earth. Deuteronomy 6:14-15.

In the same author,

They provoked Him to jealousy through foreign [gods]; through abominations they made Him angry. They sacrifice to demons. They have moved Me to jealousy, 6 by what is not god, they have provoked Me to anger with their idols. 7 Deuteronomy 32:16-17, 21.

In Ezekiel,

When My anger is accomplished and I make My wrath rest on them, I will repent, so that they may know that I Jehovah have spoken in My zeal, when I have accomplished My wrath on them. Ezekiel 5:13.

In Zechariah,

The angel of Jehovah [speaking] in me said to me, Cry out, saying, Thus said Jehovah Zebaoth, I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal. For I have become extremely indignant against the nations that feel secure. Zechariah 1:14-15; 8:2.

In Zephaniah,

I will pour out onto them My indignation, all My fierce anger, 8 for in the fire of My zeal the whole earth will be devoured. Zephaniah 3:8.

In Moses,

Jehovah will not be pleased to pardon him; but then the anger of Jehovah, and His zeal, will smoke against that man, and every curse will rest on him Deuteronomy 29:20.

In David,

How long, O Jehovah; will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn line fire? Pour out Your anger on the nations that do not know You. Psalms 79:5-6.

Jehovah's zeal is in like manner referred to as 'anger' in Psalms 38:1; Ezekiel 16:42; 23:25; 38:19.

All this shows what is meant by 'Jehovah's zeal' or 'a jealous God' - in the genuine sense love and mercy, but in the non-genuine sense, such as that understood by those immersed in evils and falsities, anger and ruination.

[8] It should be recognized that Jehovah, that is, the Lord, is called 'jealous' or 'an avenger' especially when what ought to reign universally with a member of the Church - that is to say, what is Divine and must be either loved, held in mind, or feared above all things - is being corrupted. When it has been corrupted or destroyed complete and utter darkness ensues in place of heavenly light; for that light no longer flows in from the Divine because there is no acceptance of it. This is why the commandment says, 'I am Jehovah your God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth [generations] of those who hate Me', which He would do if they worshipped other gods or made either a graven image or likenesses for themselves. For these corrupt what is Divine and ought to reign universally.

[9] Therefore similar declarations occur elsewhere in Moses,

Take care, lest you make for yourselves a graven image of any figure; for Jehovah your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. Deuteronomy 4:23-24

And in the same author,

You shall not worship any other god; for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, He is a jealous [God]. Exodus 34:14.

The reason why the Israelite nation was forbidden so strictly to do these things was that any adoration of other gods, graven images, and other images destroyed everything representative of the Church among them. For in heaven Jehovah, that is, the Lord, reigns universally; His Divine [Life] fills all things there and composes the life of all. If anything else had been worshipped instead of the Divine, everything representative, and so contact with heaven, would have perished.

Psalms 78

Проучване

   

1 Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

4 We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

6 that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,

7 that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,

8 and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn't make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

10 They didn't keep God's covenant, and refused to walk in his law.

11 They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.

12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13 He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

14 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.

15 He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

18 They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

19 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?"

21 Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

22 because they didn't believe in God, and didn't trust in his salvation.

23 Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

24 He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

25 Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

27 He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.

28 He let them fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.

29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

30 They didn't turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

31 when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of the fattest of them, and struck down the young men of Israel.

32 For all this they still sinned, and didn't believe in his wondrous works.

33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

34 When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.

35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.

36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.

37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.

38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn't stir up all his wrath.

39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn't come again.

40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!

41 They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

42 They didn't remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

43 how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,

44 he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.

45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

46 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

47 He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.

48 He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

49 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.

50 He made a path for his anger. He didn't spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

51 and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53 He led them safely, so that they weren't afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

55 He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn't keep his testimonies;

57 but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

59 When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel;

60 So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

61 and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary's hand.

62 He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.

63 Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn't weep.

65 Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.

66 He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.

67 Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn't choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.

69 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

70 He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;

71 from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.

72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. A Psalm by Asaph.
