Jóel 3

Проучване

   

1 Nebo aj, v těch dnech a v ten čas, když zase přivedu zajatý lid Judský a Jeruzalémský,

2 Shromáždím také všecky národy, a svedu je do údolí Jozafat, abych se tam soudil s nimi o lid svůj a dědictví své, Izraele, jejž rozptýlili mezi pohany a zemi mou rozdělili.

3 Také o lid můj metali los, a dávali mládence za nevěstku, mladice pak prodávali za víno, aby pili.

4 Anobrž, co vy máte proti mně, ó Tyrští a Sidonští, i všecky končiny Filistinské? Zdaliž se mi odplacujete? Jestliže mi se odplacujete, snadněť a vnáhleť i já obrátím odplatu vaši na hlavu vaši,

5 Kteříž stříbro mé i zlato mé béřete, a klénoty mé výborné vnášíte do chrámů svých,

6 A syny Judské i syny Jeruzalémské prodáváte synům Javanovým, aby je pryč zavodili od pomezí jejich.

7 Aj, já vzbudím je z toho místa, kamž jste je prodali, a obrátím odplatu vaši na hlavu vaši.

8 Prodám zajisté syny i dcery vaše v moc synů Judských, i prodadí je Sabejským, do národu dalekého; neboť jest Hospodin mluvil.

9 Provolejte to mezi národy, vyhlaste boj, probuďte reků, nechť přitáhnou, a dadí se najíti všickni muži váleční.

10 Skujte motyky své v meče, a srpy své v oštípy; ten, kterýž jest mdlý, nechť řekne: Udatný jsem.

11 Shromažďte se a přitáhněte všickni národové okolní, a shlukněte se; způsobiž to, ať tam sstoupí, ó Hospodine, rekové tvoji.

12 Probudíť se a přitáhnou národové ti do údolé Jozafat; nebo tam se posadím, abych soudil všecky ty národy okolní.

13 Přičiňte srp, nebo uzralo obilé; poďte, sstupte, nebo plný jest pres, oplývají kádě; mnohá zajisté jest zlost jejich.

14 Ale více hromad, hromad v údolí posekání; nebo blízký jest den Hospodinův, v údolí posekání.

15 Slunce a měsíc zatmí se, a hvězdy potratí blesk svůj.

16 A Hospodin řváti bude z Siona, a z Jeruzaléma vydá hlas svůj, tak že se třásti budou nebesa i země; nebo Hospodin jest útočiště lidu svého, a síla synů Izraelských.

17 I zvíte, že já Hospodin jsem Bohem vaším, kterýž bydlím na Sionu, hoře svatosti své, a tak Jeruzalém bude svatý, a cizí nepůjdou přes něj více.

18 I stane se v ten čas, že hory dštíti budou mstem, a pahrbkové oplývati mlékem, a všickni potokové Judští budou plní vody, a studnice z domu Hospodinova vyjde, kteráž zapojí údolé Setim.

19 Egypt na zpuštění přijde, a země Idumejská hrozně zpuštěna bude pro násilí synům Judským činěné; nebo vylévali krev nevinnou v zemi jejich.

20 Juda pak na věky trvati bude, a Jeruzalém od národu do pronárodu.

21 A očistím ty, jejichž jsem krve neočistil; nebo Hospodin přebývá na Sionu.

Wilderness

  

'Wilderness' signifies something with little life in it, as described in the internal sense in Luke 1:80 'Wilderness' signifies somewhere there is no good because there is no truth. 'Wilderness,' as in Jeremiah 23:10, signifies the Word when it is adulterated.

Isaiah 44

Проучване

   

1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

5 One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?

11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.

13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:

28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
