何西阿書 7

Studie

   

1 我想醫治以色列的時候,以法蓮的罪孽和撒瑪利亞罪惡就顯露出。他們行事虛謊,內有賊人入室偷竊,外有強盜成群騷擾。

2 他們心裡並不思想我記念他們的一切惡;他們所行的現在纏繞他們,都在我面前。

3 他們行惡使君王歡喜,說謊使首領喜樂。

4 他們都是行淫的,像火爐被餅的燒熱,從摶麵到發麵的時候,暫不使火著旺。

5 在我們王宴樂的日子,首領因酒的烈性成病;王與褻慢人拉

6 首領埋伏的時候,中熱如爐,就如餅的整夜睡臥,到了早晨氣炎炎。

7 眾民也熱如火爐,燒滅他們的官長。他們的君都仆倒而死;他們中間無一人求告我。

8 以法蓮與列邦人攙雜;以法蓮是沒有翻過的餅。

9 外邦人吞他勞力得來的,他卻不知道;頭髮斑白,他也不覺得。

10 以色列的驕傲當面見證自己,雖遭遇這一切,他們仍不歸向耶和華─他們的,也不尋求他。

11 以法蓮好像鴿子愚蠢無知;他們求告埃及,投奔亞述。

12 他們去的時候,我必將我的撒在他們身上;我要打他們,如同空中的。我必按他們會眾所見的懲罰他們。

13 他們因離棄我,必定有禍;因違背我,必被毀滅。我雖要贖他們,他們卻向我謊。

14 他們並不誠哀求我,乃在上呼號;他們為求五穀新酒聚集,仍然悖逆我。

15 我雖教導他們,堅固他們的膀,他們竟圖謀抗拒我。

16 他們歸向,卻不歸向至上者;他們如同翻背的。他們的首領必因舌頭的狂傲倒在刀下;這在埃及必作人的譏笑。

924. 21:27 But there shall not enter it anything unclean, or that creates an abomination or a lie. This symbolically means that no one is received into the Lord's New Church, which is the New Jerusalem, who adulterates the goods in the Word and falsifies its truths, and who does evils deliberately and so also devises falsities.

Not to enter in means, symbolically, not to be received, as before. Something unclean symbolizes spiritual licentiousness, which is an adulteration of the Word's goodness and a falsification of its truth (nos. 702, 728). For this is absolutely unclean and impure, inasmuch as the Word is absolutely clean and pure, and it is defiled with evils and falsities when it is corrupted. That adultery and licentiousness correspond to an adulteration of the Word's goodness and a falsification of its truth may be seen in nos. 134, 632. To create an abomination or a lie means, symbolically, to do evils and so also to devise falsities. Abominations symbolize evils of every kind, especially those named in the Ten Commandments (no. 891), and a lie symbolizes falsities of every kind, here the falsities that accompany evil, which in themselves are evils. Thus they are falsities used to justify evil, which are the same as evils affirmed.

A lie symbolizes doctrinal falsity because that is what a spiritual lie is. To create a lie, therefore, symbolically means to live in accordance with doctrinal falsities.

[2] That a lie in the Word symbolizes doctrinal falsity may be seen from the following passages:

We have made a covenant with death, and with hell we have produced a vision... ...we have made a lie our refuge, and in falsehood we have hidden ourselves. (Isaiah 28:15)

Everyone deceives his neighbor, and they do not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak a lie. (Jeremiah 9:5)

...this is a rebellious people, lying children..., who will not hear the law of Jehovah. (Isaiah 30:9)

Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams..., and tell them in order to lead My people astray by their lies... (Jeremiah 23:32)

The diviners see a lie, and speak false dreams. (Zechariah 10:2)

(The diviners) see vanity and a lying divination... Therefore..., because you speak vanity and see a lie, behold, for that reason I am against you..., (so that) My hand is against the prophets who speak... a lie. (Ezekiel 13:6-9, cf. 21:29)

Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lying and robbery. (Nahum 3:1)

In the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a shocking obstinacy, committing adultery and walking in lies. (Jeremiah 23:14)

From the prophet even to the priest, everyone devises lies. (Jeremiah 8:10)

(In Israel) they have devised lies. (Hosea 7:1)

You are of your father the devil... He was a murderer from the beginning..., because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own, for he is the speaker of a lie and the father of it. (John 8:44)

Here, too, a lie means falsity.
