Zacharjáš 12

Studie

   

1 Břímě slova Hospodinova příčinou Izraele. Praví Hospodin, kterýž roztáhl nebesa, a založil zemi, a sformoval ducha člověka, kterýž jest v něm:

2 Aj, já postavím Jeruzalém jako číši, kteráž ku potácení přivede všecky národy vůkol, kteříž budou proti Judovi v obležení, i proti Jeruzalému.

3 Nýbrž stane se v ten den, že položím Jeruzalém jako kámen přetěžký všechněm národům, jejž kdožkoli zdvihati budou, velmi se urazí, byť se pak shromáždili proti němu všickni národové země.

4 V ten den, praví Hospodin, raním všelikého koně strnutím, a jezdce jeho zblázněním, ale na dům Judský otevru oči své, a všecky koně národů raním slepotou.

5 I dějí vůdcové Judští v srdci svém: Mámeť sílu, i obyvatelé Jeruzalémští, v Hospodinu zástupů, Bohu svém.

6 V ten den učiním vůdce Judské podobné ohni zanícenému mezi dřívím, a pochodni hořící mezi snopy, i zžíře na pravo i na levo všecky národy vůkol, a ostojí Jeruzalém ještě na místě svém v Jeruzalémě.

7 Zachová Hospodin i stánky Judské prvé, aby se nevelebila ozdoba domu Davidova a ozdoba, přebývajících v Jeruzalémě nad Judu.

8 V ten den chrániti bude Hospodin obyvatelů Jeruzalémských, a bude nejnestatečnější z nich v ten den podobný Davidovi, a dům Davidův podobný bohům, podobný andělu Hospodinovu před nimi.

9 Nebo stane se v ten den, že shledám všecky národy, kteříž přitáhnou proti Jeruzalému, abych je zahladil.

10 A vyleji na dům Davidův a na obyvatele Jeruzalémské Ducha milosti a pokorných proseb. I obrátí zřetel ke mně, kteréhož jsou bodli, a kvíliti budou nad ním jako kvílením nad jednorozeným; hořce, pravím, plakati budou nad ním, jako hořce plačí nad prvorozeným.

11 V ten den bude veliké kvílení v Jeruzalémě, jako kvílení v Adadremmon na poli Mageddo.

12 Nebo kvíliti bude země, každá čeled obzvláštně, čeled domu Davidova obzvláštně, a ženy jejich obzvláštně, čeled domu Nátanova obzvláštně, a ženy jejich obzvláštně,

13 Čeled domu Léví obzvláštně, a ženy jejich obzvláštně, čeled Semei obzvláštně, a ženy jejich obzvláštně,

14 I všecky čeledi jiné, každá čeled obzvláštně, a ženy jejich obzvláštně.

Nation

  

'A nation,' as in Genesis 21:18, signifies the spiritual church which should receive the good of faith.

In Isaiah 1:4, this signifies evils of the will, or lusts, while people signify falsities of the understanding, or persuasions. (Arcana Coelestia 622)

In Psalm 106:5, this signifies the Lord's kingdom. (Arcana Coelestia 1416[5])

In Ezekiel 29:15, this signifies the gentiles who will no longer be under the dominion of external truths. (Arcana Coelestia 409, 410)

In Micah 7:16, this signifies people who trust in themselves. (Arcana Coelestia 249)

(Odkazy: Arcana Coelestia 2699; Jeremiah 5, 5:17, Jeremiah 17)

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.
