1 Proti Moábovi. Takto praví Hospodin zástupů, Bůh Izraelský: Běda městu Nébo, neboť popléněno bude; zahanbeno a vzato bude Kariataim, zahanbeno bude Misgab a děsiti se bude.

2 Nebudeť míti více žádné pochvaly Moáb z Ezebon, obmýšlejí proti němu zlé: Poďte, a vyhlaďme je z národu. I ty, ó Madmen, vypléněno budeš, půjde za tebou meč.

3 Hlas žalostný z Choronaim: Ó poplénění a potření veliké.

4 Potřín bude Moáb, slyšán bude křik maličkých jeho.

5 Proto že na cestě Luchitské ustavičný bude pláč, a že kudyž se chodí k Choronaim, nepřátelé křik hrozný slyšeti budou:

6 Utecte, vysvoboďte život svůj, a buďte jako vřes na poušti.

7 Nebo proto, že doufáš v statku svém a v pokladích svých, také ty jat budeš; i půjde Chámos do zajetí, kněží jeho, též i knížata jeho.

8 Přitáhne zajisté zhoubce na každé město, aniž ho které město znikne; zahyne i údolí, a zahlazena bude rovina, jakž praví Hospodin.

9 Dejte brky Moábovi, ať rychle uletí; nebo města jeho v poušť obrácena budou, tak že nebude žádného obyvatele v nich.

10 Zlořečený ten, kdož dělá dílo Hospodinovo lstivě, a zlořečený ten, kdož zdržuje meč svůj od krve.

11 Mělť jest pokoj Moáb od dětinství svého, a usadil se na kvasnicích svých, aniž býval přelíván z nádoby do nádoby, totiž do zajetí nechodíval; pročež zůstala v něm chuť jeho, a vůně jeho není proměněna.

12 Protož aj, dnové jdou, dí Hospodin, že pošli na něj ty, kteříž vpády činí, a zajmou jej, sudy pak jeho vyprázdní, a nádoby jeho roztříští.

13 I zahanben bude Moáb od Chámos, jako zahanbeni jsou dům Izraelský od Bethel naděje své.

14 Kterakž říkáte: Silní jsme a muži stateční k boji?

15 Pohuben bude Moáb a z měst svých vyjde, a nejvýbornější mládenci jeho půjdou k zabití, dí král, jehož jméno Hospodin zástupů.

16 Blízkoť jest bída Moábova, aby přišla, a trápení jeho pospíchá velice.

17 Litujte ho všickni okolní jeho, a všickni, kteříž víte o jménu jeho, rcete: Jak polámána jest hůl nejpevnější, prut nejozdobnější?

18 Sejdi z slávy své, a seď v žíni, ó ty, kterážs se usadila, dcero Dibonská; neboť zhoubce Moábův přitáhne proti tobě, zkazí ohrady tvé.

19 Postav se na cestě, a ohlédni se pilně, obyvatelkyně Aroer; vyptej se toho, kdož utíká, a té, kteráž uchází, rci: Co se děje?

20 Stydí se Moáb, že jest potřín. Kvělte a křičte, oznamte u Arnon, že hubí Moába.

21 Nebo soud přišel na zemi té roviny, na Holon a na Jasa a na Mefat,

22 I na Dibon a Nébo, a na Betdiblataim,

23 I na Kariataim a na Betgamul, a na Betmeon,

24 A na Kariot, a na Bozru i na všecka města země Moábské, daleká i blízká.

25 Odťat bude roh Moábův, a rámě jeho zlámáno bude, dí Hospodin.

26 Opojte jej, poněvadž se proti Hospodinu zpínal, až by se válel Moáb v vývratku svém, a byl za smích i on také.

27 Nebo zdali v posměchu nebyl u tebe Izrael? Zdali mezi zloději zastižen jest, že jakž jen promluvíš o něm, poskakuješ?

28 Zanechte měst, a přebývejte v skále, ó obyvatelé Moábští, a buďte podobni holubici hnízdící se daleko v rozsedlinách.

29 Slýchaliť jsme o pýše Moábově, že velmi pyšný jest, o vysokomyslnosti jeho a pýše jeho, i o nadutosti jeho, a povyšování se srdce jeho.

30 Známť já, dí Hospodin, vzteklost jeho, ale špatnáť jest ona k tomu; lži jeho nedovedouť toho.

31 Protož nad Moábskými kvílím, a nade vším Moábem křičím, pro obyvatele Kircheres úpí srdce.

32 Více než plakáno bylo Jazerských, plači tebe, ó vinný kmene Sibma. Rozvodové tvoji dostanouť se za moře, až k moři Jazerskému dosáhnou; na letní ovoce tvé a na vinobraní tvé zhoubce připadne.

33 I přestane veselé a plésání nad polem úrodným v zemi Moábské, a vínu z presu přítrž učiním; nebudou ho tlačívati s prokřikováním. Prokřikování nebudeť prokřikováním.

34 Více křičeti budou než Ezebonští, až do Eleale, až do Jasa vydávati budou hlas svůj, od Ségor až do Choronaim jako jalovice tříletá; nebo také i vody Nimrim vymizejí.

35 A tak učiním, dí Hospodin, přítrž Moábovi, obětujícímu na výsosti a kadícímu bohům jeho.

36 Protož srdce mé nad Moábem jako píšťalky zníti bude, srdce mé i nad obyvateli Kircheres jako píšťalky zníti bude, proto že i zboží nashromážděná se v nic obrátí.

37 Nebo na každé hlavě bude lysina, a každá brada oholena, na všech rukou řezání, a na bedrách žíně.

38 Na všech střechách Moábových i po ulicích jeho všudy jen kvílení; nebo rozrazím Moába jako nádobu neužitečnou, dí Hospodin.

39 Kvíliti budou: Jakť jest potřín, jak se obrátil zpět Moáb s hanbou! A jest Moáb v posměchu a k předěšení všechněm, kteříž jsou vůkol něho.

40 Nebo takto praví Hospodin: Aj, jako orlice přiletí a roztáhne křídla svá na Moába.

41 Vzato bude Kariot, i pevnosti pobrány budou, a bude srdce silných Moábských v ten den podobné srdci ženy svírající se.

42 I vyhlazen bude Moáb z lidu, proto že se proti Hospodinu zpínal.

43 Strach a jáma a osídlo nad tebou, ó obyvateli Moábský, praví Hospodin.

44 Kdo uteče před strachem, vpadne do jámy, a kdo vyleze z jámy, osídlem lapen bude; nebo uvedu na něj, totiž na Moába, rok navštívení jejich, dí Hospodin.

45 Stávaliť jsou v stínu Ezebon ti, kteříž utíkávali před násilím, ale oheň vyjde z Ezebon, a plamen z prostřed Seon, a zžíře kout Moábův a vrch hlavy těch, kteříž jen bouří.

46 Běda tobě, Moábe, zahyneť lid Chámosův; nebo pobráni budou synové tvoji do zajetí, i dcery tvé do zajetí.

47 A však zase přivedu zajaté Moábské v posledních dnech, dí Hospodin. Až potud soud o Moábovi.

265. It is established by the books of Moses, who names and quotes from it, that the ancient peoples had a Word (Numbers 21:14-15, 27-30). The historical parts of that Word were called 'The Wars of Jehovah', and the prophetical parts 'The Utterances.' The following is a quotation taken by Moses from the historical parts of that Word:

Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah and the rivers Arnon, and the water-channel of the river, which went down, where Ar dwelt and rested towards the boundary of Moab, Numbers 21:14-15.

The 'Wars of Jehovah' in that Word, as in ours, meant and described the Lord's battles with the hells and His victories over them, at the time when He was to come into the world. The same battles too are meant and described in many of the historical passages of our Word, as in the wars of Joshua against the nations of the land of Canaan, and in the wars of the Judges and Kings of Israel.

[2] The following passage is taken from the prophetical parts of the ancient Word:

Therefore the authors of Utterances say: Come into Heshbon; the city of Sihon shall be built and strengthened. For fire has gone forth from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, those who possess the high places of Arnon. Woe to you, Moab; you are done for, people of Kemosh. He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters the captives of the Amorite king Sihon. We have despatched them with arrows. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon, and we have laid waste as far as Nophah, which is as far as Medeba, Numbers 21:27-30.

The translators render the phrase 'the composers of proverbs', but it ought to be 'the authors of utterances' or 'the prophetic utterances', as is evident from the meaning of the word moshalim in the Hebrew language, which is not only 'proverbs' but also 'prophetic utterances' (as at Numbers 23:7, 18; 24:3, 15). There it is said that Balaam 'gave forth' his utterance; this was a prophecy, also about the Lord. His utterance is called mashal in the singular; moreover, the passages quoted by Moses from this source are not proverbs, but prophecies.

[3] That Word was likewise divinely inspired, as is plain from Jeremiah, where very similar words occur:

Fire has gone forth from Heshbon, and a flame from among Sihon, which has devoured the corner of Moab and the crown of the head of the sons of Shaon. Woe to you, Moab; the people of Kemosh is done for, for your sons are taken by force into captivity, into captivity your daughters, Jeremiah 48:45-46.

In addition a prophetical book of the ancient Word, called the book of Jashar, that is, the book of the Upright, is mentioned by David and Joshua. In the case of David:

David made a lament for Saul and for Jonathan; and he wrote on it, For teaching the sons of Judah the bow. Look, it is written in the book of Jashar. 2 Samuel 1:17-18.

In the case of Joshua:

Joshua said, Be still, sun, in Gibeon, and you, moon, in the valley of Aijalon. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? Joshua 10:12-13.

Jeremiah 49

Studie

   

1 Of the children of Ammon. Thus says Yahweh: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?

2 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who did possess him, says Yahweh.

3 Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

4 Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come to me?

5 Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

6 But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says Yahweh.

7 Of Edom. Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.

9 If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, wouldn't they destroy until they had enough?

10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.

11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.

12 For thus says Yahweh: Behold, they to whom it didn't pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.

13 For I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.

14 I have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

15 For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.

16 As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

17 Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.

18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it, says Yahweh, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

20 Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

21 The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.

22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

23 Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can't be quiet.

24 Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

25 How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh of Armies.

27 I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.

28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says Yahweh: Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Terror on every side!

30 Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor, says Yahweh; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

31 Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says Yahweh; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.

32 Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners [of their hair] cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says Yahweh.

33 Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

34 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

35 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

36 On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

37 I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger, says Yahweh; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;

38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes, says Yahweh.

39 But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, says Yahweh.
