1
来罢，我们归向耶和华！他撕裂我们，也必医治；他打伤我们，也必缠裹。
2
过两天他必使我们苏醒，第三天他必使我们兴起，我们就在他面前得以存活。
3
我们务要认识耶和华，竭力追求认识他。他出现确如晨光，他必临到我们像甘雨，像滋润田地的春雨。
4
主说：以法莲哪，我可向你怎样行呢？犹大啊，我可向你怎样做呢？因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾，又如速散的甘露。
5
因此，我藉先知砍伐他们，以我口中的话杀戮他们；我施行的审判如光发出。
6
我喜爱良善（或译：怜恤），不喜爱祭祀；喜爱认识神，胜於燔祭。
8
基列是作孽之人的城，被血沾染。
9
强盗成群，怎样埋伏杀人，祭司结党，也照样在示剑的路上杀戮，行了邪恶。
The 'city of Judah,' as in Isaiah 40:9, signifies the doctrine of love towards the Lord and love towards our neighbor.
(Odkazy: Apocalypse Explained 850)
5672. 'Until Joseph's coming at midday' means up to when the internal would be present with light. This is clear from the meaning of 'until his coming' as up to when it was present; from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal, dealt with in 5648; and from the meaning of 'midday' as a state of light, 1458, 3195, 3708. 1 The reason 'midday' means a state of light is that the times of day, such as morning, midday, and evening, correspond to states of light in the next life; and states of light there are states of intelligence and wisdom, for the reason that the light of heaven holds intelligence and wisdom within it. The changing states of light there are like those times of day on earth - morning, midday, and evening. The states of shade akin to evening do not however have anything to do with the sun there, which is the Lord who is constantly shedding His light, but with the selfhood that is essentially the angels' own. For insofar as this selfhood takes over in their lives they pass into a state of shade or evening; but insofar as this selfhood gives way to the heavenly selfhood they move into a state of light. From this one may see where the correspondence of midday to a state of light has its origin.
