Jona 2

Studie

   

1 Jahve zapovjedi velikoj ribi da proguta Jonu. Tri dana i Tri noći ostade Jona u ribljoj utrobi.

2 Iz utrobe riblje stade Jona moliti Jahvu, Boga svojega.

3 On reče: "Iz nevolje svoje zavapih Jahvi, i on me usliša; iz utrobe Podzemlja zazvah, i ti si mi čuo glas.

4 Ti me baci moru u dubine, i voda me opteče. Sve poplave tvoje i valovi oboriše se na me.

5 Pomislih: odbačen sam ispred očiju tvojih. Al' ipak oči upirem svetom Hramu tvojem.

6 Vode me do grla okružiše, bezdan me opkoli. Trave mi glavu omotaše,

7 siđoh do korijena planina. Nada mnom se zatvoriše zauvijek zasuni zemljini. Al' ti iz jame izvadi život moj, o Jahve, Bože moj.

8 Samo što ne izdahnuh kad se spomenuh Jahve, i molitva se moja k tebi vinula, prema svetom Hramu tvojemu.

9 Oni koji štuju isprazna ništavila milost svoju ostavljaju.

10 A ja ću ti s pjesmom zahvalnicom žrtvu prinijeti. Što se zavjetovah, ispunit ću. Spasenje je od Gospoda."

11 Tada Jahve zapovjedi ribi i ona izbljuva Jonu na obalu.

'Waters,' as in Ezekiel 47:9, refer to the New Jerusalem, and they signify spiritual things from a celestial origin.

'Many waters,' as in Revelation 17:1, signify truths of the Word adulterated. 'Waters' or 'rivers' signify spiritual, rational, or scientific things pertaining to truth.

'Waters … that go softly,' as in Isaiah 8:6-7, signify spiritual things, and 'waters … strong and many,' signify falsities.

'Waters,' as in Psalms 104:3, signify divine truths.

'Waters' signify truths in the natural self, and in the opposite sense, falsities.
