何西阿書 4

Studie

   

1 以色列人哪,你們當耶和華的耶和華與這居民爭辯,因這上無誠實,無良善,無人認識

2 但起假誓,不踐前言,殺害,盜,姦淫,行強暴,殺人流血,接連不斷。

3 因此,這悲哀,其上的民、田野的獸、空中的必都衰微,中的魚也必消滅。

4 然而,都不必爭辯,也不必指責,因為這民與抗拒祭司的一樣。

5 你這祭司必日間跌倒;先知也必夜間與你一同跌倒;我必滅絕你的母親

6 我的民因無知識而滅亡。你棄掉知識,我也必棄掉你,使你不再給我作祭司。你既忘了的律法,我也必忘記你的兒女。

7 祭司越發增多,就越發得罪我;我必使他們的榮耀變為羞辱

8 他們我民的贖祭,滿心願意我民犯

9 將來民如何,祭司也必如何;我必因他們所行的懲罰他們,照他們所做的報應他們。

10 他們,卻不得飽;行淫,而不得立後;因為他們離棄耶和華,不遵他的命。

11 姦淫和酒,並新酒,奪去人的

12 我的民求問偶,以為杖能指示他們;因為他們的淫心使他們失迷,他們就行淫離棄,不守約束,

13 在各頂,各岡的橡樹、楊樹、栗樹之,獻祭燒香,因為樹影美。所以,你們的女兒淫亂,你們的新婦(或譯:兒婦;同)行淫。

14 你們的女兒淫亂,你們的新婦行淫,我卻不懲罰他們;因為你們自己離群與娼妓同居,與妓女一同獻祭。這無知的民必致傾倒。

15 以色列啊,你雖然行淫,猶大卻不可犯罪。不要往吉甲去,不要上到伯亞文,也不要指著永生的耶和華起誓。

16 以色列倔強,猶如倔強的母;現在耶和華要放他們,如同放羊羔在寬闊之地。

17 以法蓮親近偶像,任憑他罷!

18 他們所喝的已經發酸,他們時常行淫,他們的官長最羞恥的事。

19 把他們裹在翅膀裡;他們因所獻的祭必致蒙羞。

3190. 'And they rode on the camels' means the understanding part of the mind, raised up above natural facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'riding' as the understanding when raised up, dealt with in 2761, 2762, and from the meaning of 'camels' as general facts in the natural man, dealt with in 3048, 3071, and so natural facts. The implications of this are that when truth from the natural is raised up into the rational it is borne out of the sphere of worldly light into that of heavenly light - so to speak from the obscurity of night into the brightness of day. For the things that belong to the light of the world, in which all natural objects exist, dwell so to speak in night, compared with things belonging to the light of heaven; but things that belong to the light of heaven, in which all spiritual objects exist, dwell so to speak in daylight, compared with things belonging to the light of the world. Consequently when truth from the natural is raised up towards the rational, the person is raised up at the same time into intelligence and wisdom. All the intelligence and wisdom present with man comes from this source. These are the things meant by the understanding part, raised up above natural facts.
