Ezechiel 4

Studie

   

1 Ty pak synu člověčí, vezmi sobě cihlu, a polože ji před sebe, vyrej na ní město Jeruzalém.

2 A postav na ní obležení, a vzdělaje na ní šance, vysyp na ní násyp, a polož na ní vojska, a postav na ní berany válečné vůkol.

3 Potom vezmi sobě pánev železnou, a polož ji místo zdi železné, mezi tebou a mezi městem, a zatvrď tvář svou proti němu, ať jest obleženo, a oblehneš je. Toť bude znamením domu Izraelskému.

4 Ty pak lehni na levý bok svůj, a vlož na něj nepravost domu Izraelského. Podlé počtu dnů, v němž ležeti budeš na něm, poneseš nepravost jejich.

5 A já dávám tobě léta nepravosti jejich v počtu dnů, tři sta a devadesáte dnů, v nichž poneseš nepravost domu Izraelského.

6 Když je pak vyplníš, budeš ležeti na pravém boku podruhé, a poneseš nepravost domu Judova čtyřidceti dnů. Den za rok, Den za rok dávám tobě.

7 K obležení, pravím, Jeruzaléma zatvrď tvář svou, ohrna ruku svou, a prorokuje proti němu.

8 A aj, dávám na tě provazy, abys se neobracel z boku jednoho na druhý, dokudž nevyplníš dnů obležení svého.

9 Protož ty vezmi sobě pšenice a ječmene, též bobu, šočovice, i prosa, a špaldy, a dej to do jedné nádoby, abys sobě nastrojil z toho pokrmu podlé počtu dnů, v nichž ležeti budeš na boku svém. Za tři sta a devadesáte dnů jísti jej budeš.

10 Pokrmu pak tvého, kterýž jísti budeš, váha bude dvadceti lotů na den. Od času až do času jísti jej budeš.

11 Vodu také na míru píti budeš, šestý díl hin; od času do času píti budeš.

12 Podpopelný pak chléb ječný, kterýž jísti budeš, ten lejny nečistoty lidské pec před očima jejich.

13 I řekl Hospodin: Tak budou jísti synové Izraelští chléb svůj nečistý pro pohany, kteréž tam shromáždím.

14 Tedy řekl jsem: Ach, Panovníče Hospodine, aj, duše má není poškvrněna mrchami, a udáveného nejedl jsem od dětinství svého až podnes, aniž vešlo v ústamaso ohavné.

15 Kterýž řekl mi: Aj, dávámť kravince místo lejn lidských, abys sobě jimi napekl chleba.

16 Za tím řekl mi: Synu člověčí, aj, já zlámi hůl chleba v Jeruzalémě, tak že jísti budou chléb na váhu, a to s zámutkem, a vodu na míru píti, a to s předěšením,

17 Aby nedostatek majíce v chlebě a v vodě, děsili se jeden každý z nich, a svadli pro nepravost svou.

3940. Verses 14-16 And Reuben went in the days of the wheat harvest and found dudaim in the field, and brought them to Leah his mother. And Rachel said to Leah, Give me now some of your son's dudaim. But she said to her, Is it a small thing for you to have taken my husband? And will you take also my son's dudaim? And Rachel said, Therefore he will lie with you this night [in return] for your son's dudaim. And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him and said, You must come [in] to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's dudaim. And he lay with her that night.

'Reuben went in the days of the wheat harvest' means faith in regard to its state of love and charity. 'And found dudaim in the field' means the essentials of conjugial love that are present within the truth and good of charity and love. 'And brought them to Leah his mother' means application to the affection for external truth. 'And Rachel said to Leah' means perception by the affection for interior truth, and the desire for it. 'Give me now some of your son's dudaim' means for the things belonging to conjugial love, to which it might be joined mutually and reciprocally. 'But she said to her, Is it a small thing for you to have taken my husband?' means the existence of conjugial desire. 'And will you take also my son's dudaim?' means that in that case the conjugial element linking natural good to external truth would be taken away. 'And Rachel said' means consent. 'Therefore he will lie with you this night [in return] for your son's dudaim' means that external truth should be joined to natural good. 'And Jacob came from the field in the evening' means the good of truth in a state of good, yet also in obscurity such as envelops the natural. 'And Leah went out to meet him' means a desire on the part of the affection for external truth. 'And said, You must come [in] to me' means that it might be joined to that good. 'For I have surely hired you with my son's dudaim' means that this had accordingly been seen to and agreed beforehand. 'And he lay with her that night' means the actual joining together.

Luke 20:9-18

Studie

      

9 He began to tell the people this parable. "A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.

11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.

13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.'

14 "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

15 They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, "May it never be!"

17 But he looked at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?'

18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust."
