阿摩司书 6

Studie

   

1 国为列国之首,人最着名,且为以色列家所归向,在锡安和撒玛利亚安逸无虑的,有祸了!

2 你们要过到甲尼察,从那里往大城哈马去,又非利士人的迦特。那些比你们的国还强吗?境界比你们的境界还宽吗?

3 你们以为降祸的日子还远,在位上尽行强暴(或译:行强暴使审判临)。

4 你们躺卧在象牙上,舒身在榻上,中的羔,棚里的犊;

5 弹琴鼓瑟,唱消闲的歌曲,为自己制造乐器,如同大卫所造的;

6 以大碗喝酒,用上等的油抹身,却不为约瑟的苦难担忧。

7 所以这些人必在被掳的人中首先被掳,舒身的人荒宴之乐必消灭了。

8 耶和华万军之指着自己起誓,我憎恶雅各的荣华,厌弃他的宫殿;因此我必将城和其中所有的都交付敌人。

9 那时,若在房之内剩下个人,也都必

10 死人的伯叔,就是烧他尸首的,要将这尸首搬到房外,问房屋内间的人:你那里还有人没有?他必:没有;又:,不要作声,因为我们不可提耶和华的名。

11 看哪,耶和华出令,房就被攻破,小就被打裂。

12 岂能在崖石上奔跑?人岂能在那里用牛耕种呢?

13 你们喜爱虚浮的事,自夸我们不是凭自己的力量取了角麽?

14 耶和华万军之:,以色列家阿,我必兴起一国攻击你们;他们必欺压你们,从哈马口直到亚拉巴的

85. It would be a waste of time to show from the Word that there are in the Word paired expressions like these that seem like repetitions of the same thing, because that would fill many pages. To banish doubt, though, I would like to cite some passages where judgment and justice occur together, then nation and people, and then joy and gladness.

The following are passages where judgment and justice are paired:

The city used to be full of [good] judgment; justice used to spend its nights there. (Isaiah 1:21)

Zion will be redeemed in justice, and those of her who are brought back, in judgment. (Isaiah 1:27)

Jehovah Sabaoth will be exalted in judgment, and God, the Holy One, will be hallowed in justice. (Isaiah 5:16)

He will sit upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it in judgment and in justice. (Isaiah 9:7)

Let Jehovah be exalted, because he dwells on high and has filled the earth with judgment and justice. (Isaiah 33:5)

Jehovah says, “Watch over judgment and perform justice, for my salvation is at hand so that my justice may be revealed.” (Isaiah 56:1)

As though they were a nation that did justice and had not abandoned the judgment of their God, they would ask for judgments of justice. (Isaiah 58:2)

Swear by the living Jehovah in judgment and in justice. (Jeremiah 4:2)

The one who glories should glory in this, that Jehovah is bringing about judgment and justice on the earth. (Jeremiah 9:24)

Do judgment and justice. Woe to those who build their house without justice and their upper chambers without judgment. Has not your father done judgment and justice? Then it will be well for him. (Jeremiah 22:3, 13, 15)

I will raise up for David a righteous branch who will rule as king and bring about judgment and justice on earth. (Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15)

If a man is righteous and has practiced judgment and justice... (Ezekiel 18:5)

If the ungodly turn back and practice judgment and justice, [their former deeds] will not be remembered against them. They have practiced judgment and justice; they will surely live. (Ezekiel 33:14, 16)

I will betroth myself to you forever in justice and judgment, and in mercy and compassion. (Hosea 2:19)

Let judgment flow down like water, and justice like a mighty torrent. (Amos 5:24)

You have turned judgment into gall and the fruit of justice into wormwood. (Amos 6:12)

Jehovah will plead my case and bring about a judgment for me. He will lead me into the light, and I will see his justice. (Micah 7:9)

Jehovah, your justice is like the mountains of God; your judgments are a great deep. (Psalms 36:6)

Jehovah will bring forth his justice like light and judgment like noonday. (Psalms 37:6)

Jehovah will judge his people with justice and his needy ones with judgment. (Psalms 72:2)

Justice and judgment are the foundation of your throne. (Psalms 89:14)

... when I will have learned the judgments of your justice. Seven times a day I praise you for the judgments of your justice. (Psalms 119:7, 164)

Gad enacts the justice of Jehovah and his judgment with Israel. (Deuteronomy 33:21)

The Spirit of Truth will convict the world concerning justice and judgment. (John 16:8, 10)

There are other such passages as well.

The reason judgment and justice are mentioned so often is that the Word says “judgment” in reference to what is true and “justice” in reference to what is good; so “doing judgment and justice” also means acting on the basis of what is true and on the basis of what is good.

The reason the Word says “judgment” in reference to what is true and “justice” in reference to what is good is that the Lord’s government in the spiritual kingdom is called “judgment, ” while the Lord’s government in the heavenly kingdom is called “justice” (see Heaven and Hell 214-215). Because the Word says “judgment” in reference to what is true, in some passages it speaks of truth and justice, as in Isaiah 11:5, Psalms 85:11, and elsewhere.
