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)

8980. 'His woman shall go out with him' means a state of truth together with delight joined to it, also after conflict. This is clear from the meaning of 'going out' - out of servitude - as a state after conflict, 8975; and from the meaning of 'woman' as conjoined delight, dealt with immediately above in 8979. From these places it is evident who exactly were represented here by 'male slaves', namely those imbued with faith composed of the teachings of their Church and not with the complementary good but with delight that is an imitation of that good. Their servitude with their master means their state before they can be introduced into heaven, whereas their going out from servitude means their state when they are received into heaven. But since they are imbued only with faith composed of the teachings of their Church and not with the complementary good, thus not with the truth of good, which is the faith of charity, they cannot be allowed any further into heaven than the entrance there. For those in the entrance to heaven are in contact with those in heaven through the truth of faith, and with those outside heaven through the delight joined to that truth. They serve just like the layers of skin or membranes that clothe the body, which through the sense of touch are in contact with the world and through the nervous system are in contact with the life of the soul present in the body. So it is that those in the entrance to heaven, who are represented by 'Hebrew slaves', are called skin spirits in the Grand Man, regarding whom see 5552-5559. But there are many genera and species of such spirits, just as there are of layers of skin or membranes in the body. There are those which cover the whole body; there are those which cover interior parts in general, such as the peritoneum, pleura, or pericardium; and there are those which serve specifically to cover the individual organs there. They are all relatively a body of servants.
