Hošea 9

Studie

   

1 Ne raduj se, Izraele, ne kliči k'o drugi narodi; bludu se oda, jer, ostavivši Boga svoga, zavolio si plaću bludničku po svim gumnima žitnim.

2 Ni gumno ni kaca neće ih hraniti, i mlado će ih vino prevariti.

3 Neće više živjeti u zemlji Jahvinoj, Efrajim će se vratiti u Egipat i nečista će jela jesti u Asuru.

4 Neće više Jahvi lijevati vina, nit' će mu prinositi žrtve svoje; kruh će im biti kao kruh žalosti, i nečist će biti tko ga bude jeo; jer njihov je kruh samo za njih, neće ući u Dom Jahvin.

5 Što ćete činiti na dan blagdanski, na dan svetkovine Jahvine?

6 Jer, evo gdje odoše pred pustošenjem; prihvatit će ih Egipat, sahraniti Memfis, srebrna im blaga kopriva će baštiniti, šatore će njihove obrasti trnje.

7 Dođoše dani kazne! Dođoše dani odmazde! Nek' znade Izrael! Lud je prorok, nadahnuti bunca! Zbog velikog bezakonja tvoga i silnog buntovništva.

8 Efrajim uhodi šator prorokov, stavljaju mu zamke po svim putovima, odmazda je u kući Boga njegova.

9 U duboku su pali pokvarenost kao u dane Gibeje; spomenut će se Jahve bezakonja njihova i grijehe će njihove kazniti.

10 Kao grožđe u pustinji nađoh ja Izraela, kao rani plod na smokvi vidjeh oce vaše; oni dođoše u Baal Peor, posvetiše se sramoti i postadoše grozote kao ljubimci njihovi.

11 Odletje poput ptice slava Efrajimova: od rođenja, od utrobe, od začeća.

12 Ako i podignu svoje sinove, oduzet ću ih prije dobi muževne, da, teško njima kada ih ostavim!

13 Efrajim je k'o da gledam Tir na njivi posađen, al' će Efrajim djecu svoju voditi na klanje.

14 Daj im, o Jahve! A što da im dadeš? Daj im krilo jalovo, dojke usahle.

15 U Gilgalu sva je njihova zloća, ondje sam ih zamrzio. Zbog njihovih djela opakih iz kuće svoje ću ih izagnati, voljeti ih više neću, svi su im knezovi odmetnici.

16 Pogođen je Efrajim, korijen mu je usahnuo; roda neće imati. Ako im se i rodi djece, ubit ću im mili plod utrobe.

17 Odbacit će ih Bog moj jer ga nisu poslušali; i potucat će se među narodima.

Feed

  
"Feeding the baby," by Rudolf Epp

When the Bible talks about "feeding" it is generally referring to instruction in spiritual things -- teaching people the true concepts that can lead them to do what is good.

In Revelation 7:17, this signifies to teach. (Arcana Coelestia 5147, Apocalypse Revealed 383)

(Odkazy: Apocalypse Explained 9, 482; Apocalypse Revealed 547; Arcana Coelestia 5201, 10609)

382. "Neither shall the sun strike them, nor any heat." This symbolically means that hereafter they will not possess lusts for evil, nor for the falsity accompanying evil.

That the sun will not strike them means, symbolically, that they will not have lusts for evil; and that no heat will strike them means, symbolically, that they will not have lusts for falsity. To be shown that the sun symbolizes Divine love and therefore affections for goodness, and in an opposite sense, diabolical love and therefore lusts for evil, see no. 53 above.

That heat, on the other hand, symbolizes lusts for the falsity accompanying evil - the reason is that evil produces falsity, as the sun does heat; for when the will loves evil, the intellect loves falsity, and it burns with a lust to justify the evil, and evil justified in the intellect is the falsity of evil. The falsity accompanying evil is therefore evil in its true expression.

Heat and burning have like symbolic meanings in the following passages:

Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah... He will not see when heat comes. (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

...you have been... a refuge for the needy... from flood, a shade from the heat... He will temper... heat by the shadow of a cloud... (Isaiah 25:4-5)

When they are inflamed, I will... make them drunk, until they... sleep a perpetual sleep... (Jeremiah 51:39)

They are all as hot as an oven... None among them calls upon Me. (Hosea 7:7)

They regard not the way of the vineyards. Drought and heat snatch away the snow's waters... (Job 24:18-19)

...the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men... with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God... (Revelation 16:8-9)

To say to the prisoners, "Go forth."... They shall neither hunger nor thirst, neither shall heat... strike them. (Isaiah 49:9-10)
