Habakuk 2

Studie

   

1 Stat ću na stražu svoju, postavit se na bedem, paziti što će mi reći, kako odgovorit na moje tužbe.

2 Tada Jahve odgovori i reče: "Zapiši viđenje, ureži ga na pločice, da ga čitač lako čita."

3 Jer ovo je viđenje samo za svoje vrijeme: ispunjenju teži, ne vara; ako stiže polako, čekaj, jer odista će doći i neće zakasniti!

4 Gle: propada onaj čija duša nije pravedna, a pravednik živi od svoje vjere.

5 Bogatstvo je odista podmuklo! Ohol je i ne može počinuti tko ždrijelo razvaljuje k'o Podzemlje, tko je kao smrt nezasitan, tko sabire za se sve narode, tko kupi za se sva plemena!

6 Zar mu se neće svi podrugivati, rugalicu i zagonetku spjevat' protiv njega? Reći će: Jao onom tko množi što nije njegovo (a dokle će?) i opterećuje se zalogama!

7 Neće li naglo ustat' vjerovnici tvoji, neće li se probuditi ljuti tvoji tlačitelji? Tada ćeš im plijen biti!

8 Jer si opljačkao mnoge narode, sav ostatak naroda opljačkat će tebe, jer si prolio krv ljudsku, poharao zemlju, grad i sve mu žitelje.

9 Jao onom tko otimačinu zgrće nepravednu kući svojoj, da visoko svije gnijezdo svoje i otkloni ruku zla!

10 Nanese sramotu kući svojoj: zatirući mnoga plemena, griješiš protiv sebe.

11 Jer iz samih zidova kamen kriči, a krovna mu greda odgovara.

12 Jao onom tko grad diže krvlju i tvrđavu zasnuje na nepravdi!

13 Nije li to, gle, od Jahve nad Vojskama da se narodi za oganj trude, puci nizašto muče?

14 Jer će se zemlja napuniti znanja o slavi Jahvinoj kao što vode prekrivaju more.

15 Jao onom tko bližnjeg navodi na piće, ulijeva otrov dok on pije da bi promatrao njegovu nagost!

16 Ti si pijan od sramote, ne od slave! Pij samo i pokazuj kapicu. Dolazi ti pehar iz desnice Jahvine i sramota na slavu tvoju!

17 Nasilje nad Libanonom tebe će prestraviti, pokolj zvijeri, jer si ljudsku krv prolio, poharao zemlju, grad i njegove žitelje.

19 Jao onom tko komadu drva kaže: "Probudi se!" Kamenu nijemom: "Preni se!" On da prorokuje? Optočen može biti i zlatom i srebrom, ali nikakva daha životnog nema u njemu.

18 Čemu koristi tesan lik da ga umjetnik teše? Čemu lijevan lik, lažno proroštvo, da se tvorac njegov u nj pouzdaje oblikujuć' nijeme kipove?

20 Ali je Jahve u svojem svetom Hramu: nek' zemlja sva zašuti pred njime!

779. Since oil is mentioned here among sacred ingredients of worship, and symbolizes celestial good, we must say something now about the oil used in anointing, oil which was used by ancient peoples and afterward commanded to the children of Israel.

In ancient times people anointed stones set up as pillars, as is apparent from Genesis 28:18-19, 22. They also anointed weapons of war, shields and bucklers (2 Samuel 1:21, Isaiah 21:5). The Israelites were commanded to prepare holy oil with which to anoint all the sacred ecclesiastical vessels; and they used it to anoint the altar and all its vessels, as well as the Tabernacle and all its vessels (Exodus 30:22-33, 40:9-11; Leviticus 8:10-12; Numbers 7:1). They used it to anoint the men who exercised the functions of the priesthood and their garments (Exodus 29:7, 29, 30:30, 40:13-15; Leviticus 8:12; Psalm 133:1-3). They used it to anoint prophets (1 Kings 19:15, 16). They used it to anoint kings, and kings were called therefore Jehovah's anointed (1 Samuel 10:1, 15:1, 16:3, 6, 12, 24:6, 10, 26:9, 11, 16, 23; 2 Samuel 1:16, 2:4, 7, 5:3, 17, 19:21; 1 Kings 1:34, 35, 19:15, 16; 2 Kings 9:3; 11:12; 23:30; Lamentations 4:20; Habakkuk 3:13; Psalms 2:2, 6; 20:6; 28:8; 45:7; 84:9; 89:20, 38, 51; 132:17).

[2] Anointing with holy oil was commanded because oil symbolized the goodness of love and represented the Lord, who in His humanity is Himself Jehovah's anointed and His only anointed, being anointed not with oil, but with the Divine goodness itself of Divine love. Consequently He is also called the Messiah in the Old Testament and Christ in the New Testament (John 1:41; 4:25), Messiah and Christ meaning "the Anointed."

That is why priests, kings, and all ecclesiastical vessels were anointed, and having been anointed were called holy - not that they were holy in themselves, but because by virtue of the anointing they represented the Lord in His Divine humanity. Consequently it was a sacrilege to harm a king, because he was Jehovah's anointed (1 Samuel 24:6, 10; 26:9).

[3] Furthermore, it was an accepted practice to anoint themselves and others to attest to their gladness of heart and goodwill, but with ordinary oil or some other fine oil, and not with holy oil (Matthew 6:17; Mark 6:13; Luke 7:46; Isaiah 61:3; Amos 6:6; Micah 6:15; Psalms 92:10; 104:15; Daniel 10:3; Deuteronomy 28:40). They were not permitted to anoint themselves or others with holy oil (Exodus 30:31-33).
