Jeremija 17

Studie

   

1 Judin grijeh upisan je željeznom pisaljkom, urezan dijamantnim vrškom u pločicu njihova srca i u rogove njihovih žrtvenika,

2 kao spomen sinovima njihovim na žrtvenike njihove i ašere njihove oko zelenog drveća na visokim brežuljcima,

3 na brdima i usred polja. Tvoje bogatstvo i sve blago tvoje pljački ću predati. Tako ćeš platiti za grijeh svoj po svoj zemlji.

4 Morat ćeš pustiti baštinu koju sam tebi poklonio. Učinit ću te robljem neprijatelja u zemlji koju ne poznaješ. Jer gnjev moj planu ognjem koji će vječno gorjeti.

5 Ovako govori Jahve: "Proklet čovjek koji se uzdaje u čovjeka, i slabo tijelo smatra svojom mišicom, i čije se srce od Jahve odvraća.

6 Jer on je kao drač u pustinji: ne osjeća kad je sreća na domaku, tavori dane u usahloj pustinji, u zemlji slanoj, nenastanjenoj.

7 Blagoslovljen čovjek koji se uzdaje u Jahvu i kome je Jahve uzdanje.

8 Nalik je na stablo zasađeno uz vodu što korijenje pušta k potoku: ne mora se ničeg bojati kad dođe žega, na njemu uvijek zelenilo ostaje. U sušnoj godini brigu ne brine, ne prestaje donositi plod.

9 Podmuklije od svega je srce. Jedva popravljivo, tko da ga pronikne?

10 Ja, Jahve, istražujem srca i ispitujem bubrege, da bih dao svakom po njegovu vladanju, prema plodu ruku njegovih.

11 Prepelica što leži na jajima a ne leže jest onaj što nepravdom stječe bogatstvo: usred dana svojih ostavit' ga mora i na kraju ostaje lÓuda.

12 Slavan prijestol dignut od davnina, to je naše sveto mjesto.

13 O Jahve, nado Izraela, svi koji te ostave postidjet će se, koji se odmetnu od tebe bit će u prah upisani, jer ostaviše Izvor žive vode.

14 Iscijeli me, Jahve, i bit ću zdrav, spasi me, i bit ću spašen, jer ti si pjesma moja.

15 Evo ih što mi govore: Gdje je riječ Jahvina? Neka se ispuni!

16 Ta ja se nisam vrzao oko tebe za njihovu nesreću niti sam želio kobni Dan! - ti to znaš, sve što je izlazilo iz usta mojih pred tobom je.

17 Ne budi mi na užas, ti, utočište moje, u Dan nesretni.

18 Progonitelji moji nek' se postide, ne ja, njih smeti, ne mene. Na njih dovedi Dan nesretni, zatri ih dvogubim zatorom!

19 Ovako mi reče Jahve: "Idi i stani na vrata Sinova naroda na koja ulaze i izlaze kraljevi judejski i na sva vrata jeruzalemska.

20 Reci im: Čujte riječ Jahvinu, vi, kraljevi judejski i svi Judejci i Jeruzalemci koji prolazite kroz ova vrata.

21 Ovako govori Jahve: 'Čuvajte se ako vam je život mio i ne nosite tereta u dan subotnji, i ne unosite ga na vrata jeruzalemska.

22 I ne nosite bremena iz kuće u dan subotnji, i nikakva posla ne radite, nego svetkujte dan subotnji, kao što sam zapovjedio vašim ocima.

23 Oni me ne poslušaše i ne prikloniše uha svojega, nego tvrdovrato ne poslušaše i ne prihvatiše nauka.

24 A vi, ako me poslušate - riječ je Jahvina - i ako ne budete nosili bremena na vrata ovoga grada, nego budete svetkovali dan subotnji, ne radeći nikakva posla,

25 tada će na vrata ovoga grada ulaziti kraljevi koji sjede na prijestolju Davidovu, koji se voze kolima i jašu na konjima, oni i njihovi časnici, Judejci i Jeruzalemci, i ovaj će grad ostati dovijeka.

26 I dolazit će iz gradova judejskih, iz okolice Jeruzalema, iz zemlje Benjaminove i iz Šefele, iz Gorja i iz Negeba, da prinesu paljenice, klanice, prinosnice i kad i da prinesu žrtvu zahvalnicu u Domu Jahvinu.

27 Ali ako me ne poslušate te ne budete svetkovali dan subotnji, i ako budete nosili bremena ulazeći na vrata jeruzalemska u dan subotnji, tada ću potpaliti oganj na vratima njegovim: i plamen će proždrijeti dvore jeruzalemske, i neće se ugasiti.'"

The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 83

  
/ 418  
  

83. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 17

1-2 It is in their internals to worship only externals. (3)

3 All true knowledges [scientifica] will be taken away; (3)

4 but not yet. They will come into hell. (3)

5-6 Because they trust in themselves, they perceive nothing of truth and good. (3)

7-8 On the other hand, those who trust in the Lord always have good and truth. (11)

9-10 The Lord knows what lies hidden interiorly, howsoever the external may appear. (3, 12)

11 The truths which they learn are of no use to them. (3)

12-13 Because the Lord is heaven and the church, those who depart from Him are damned. (15)

14-18 Prayer to the Lord, and acknowledgment, that the evil may be removed. (3, 8)

19-20 The Lord, to those who are in externals: (3)

21-24 that they ought to acknowledge His Divine, which is meant by the Sabbath, and not violate it; (16)

25 then they will possess an understanding of the Word, (16)

26 and then their worship will be from truths. (16)

27 If they will not acknowledge, the externals will perish from internals. (2)

Jeremiah 17

Studie

   

1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars;

2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.

3 My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, [and] your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.

4 You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don't know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.

5 Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.

6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.

7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is.

8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

11 As the partridge that sits on [eggs] which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.

12 A glorious throne, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.

14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.

15 Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come now.

16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.

17 Don't be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.

18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed; let them be dismayed, but don't let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

19 Thus said Yahweh to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

20 and tell them, Hear the word of Yahweh, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

21 Thus says Yahweh, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

22 neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

23 But they didn't listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

24 It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;

25 then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.

26 They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing [sacrifices of] thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.

27 But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
