Jeremias 51

Studie

   

1 Så siger HE EN: Jeg opvækker en ødelæggelsens ånd mod Babel og dem, som bor i "mine Modstanderes Hjerte".

2 Og jeg sender til Babel Kastere, de skal kaste det og tømme dets Land, thi fra alle Hanter er de over det på Ulykkens Dag.

3 Ingen skal spænde sin Bue eller rejse sig i Brynje. Spar ikke dets Ynglinge, læg Band på hele dets Hær!

4 Dræbte Mænd skal falde i Kaldæernes Land og gennemborede i Gaderne;

5 thi Israel og Juda er ikke forladt af deres Gud, Hærskarers HE E, men deres Land var fuldt af Skyld mod Israels Hellige.

6 Fly ud af Babel, enhver redde sit Liv, at I ikke skal omkomme for dets Brøde! Thi det er Hævnens Tid for HE EN, han øver Gengæld imod det.

7 Et gyldent Bæger var Babel i HE ENs Hånd, det gjorde al Jorden drukken; Folkene drak af Vinen, derfor blev Folkene galne.

8 Babel faldt i et Nu, det knustes; jamrer over det! Hent Balsam hid til dets Sår, om det muligt kan læges!

9 Vi vilde læge Babel, men det lod sig ikke læge. Gå fra det og lad os drage hver til sit Land, thi dets Straffedom når til Himmelen, løfter sig til Skyerne.

10 HE EN har bragt vor et for Lyset; kom, lad os kundgøre HE EN vor Guds Værk i Zion!

11 Hvæs Pilene, gør Skjoldene blanke! HE EN har vakt Mederkongens Ånd, thi hans Hu står til at ødelægge Babel; thi det er HE ENs Hævn, Hævn for hans Tempel.

12 Løft Banner mod Babels Mure, forstærk Vagten, sæt Vagtposter ud, læg Baghold! Thi HE EN har et åd for og gør, hvad han har talet mod Babels Indbyggere.

13 Du, som bor ved de mange Vande, rig på Skatte, din Ende er kommet, den Alen, hvor man skære dig af.

14 Hærskarers Herre har svoret ved sig selv: Jeg vil fylde dig med Mennesker som Græshopper, og de skal istemme Vinperserråbet over dig.

15 Han skabte Jorden i sin Vælde, grundfæstede Jorderig i sin Visdom, og i sin indsigt udspændte han Himmelen.

16 Når han løfter sin øst, bruser Vandene i Himmelen, og han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende; han får Lynene til at give egn og sender Stormen ud af sine Forrådskamre.

17 Dumt er hvert Menneske, uden Indsigt, hver Guldsmed får Skam af sit Billede; thi Løgn er hans Støbning, der er ingen Ånd i dem;

18 Tomhed er de, et dårende Værk; når deres Hjemsøgelses Tid kommer, er det ude med dem.

19 Jakobs Arvelod er ikke som de; thi han, der har skabt alt, er dets Arvelod; Hærskarers HE E er hans Navn.

20 Du var mig en Stridshammer, et Våben; med dig knuste jeg Folk, med dig ødelagde jeg iger;

21 med dig knuste jeg Hest og ytter, med dig knuste jeg Vogn og Vognstyrer,

22 med dig knuste jeg Mand og Kvinde med dig knuste jeg gammel og ung, med dig knuste jeg Yngling og Jomfru,

23 med dig knuste jeg Hyrde og Hjord, med dig knuste jeg Agerdyrker og Oksespand, med dig knuste jeg Statholder og Landshøvding.

24 Men jeg vil gengælde Babel og alle Kaldæas Indbyggere alt det onde, de gjorde mod Zion for eders Øjne, lyder det fra HE EN.

25 Se, jeg kommer over dig, du ødelæggende Bjerg, lyder det fra HE EN, du, som ødelægger hele Jorden; jeg udrækker Hånden imod dig og vælter dig ned fra Klipperne og gør dig til et afsvedet Bjerg;

26 man skal ikke fra dig hente Sten til Tinder eller Grundvolde, thi du skal blive en evig Ørken, lyder det fra HE EN.

27 Løft Banner på Jorden, stød i Horn blandt Folkene, vi Folkene til Kamp imod det, opbyd Ararats, Minnis og Asjkenazs iger imod det, indsæt en Tipsar, lad Hestene fare frem som lodne Græshopper;

28 vi Folkene til Strid imod det, Mederkongen, hans Statholdere og alle hans Landshøvdinger og hele det Land, han råder over!

29 Jorden skal skælve og vride sig, thi HE ENs Tanker mod Babel fuldbyrdes, at gøre Babels Land til en Ørken, hvor ingen bor.

30 Babels Helte opgiver Kampen, de sidder stille i Borgene, deres kraft ebber ud, de er blevet til Kvinder; dets Boliger afbrændes, dets Portstænger knækkes.

31 Løber iler Løber i Møde, og Bud iler Bud i Møde for at melde Babels Konge, at hans By er indtaget fra Ende til anden,

32 Overgangsstederne taget, Borgene brændt og Krigsfolkene rædselslagne.

33 Thi så siger Hærskarers HE E, Israels Gud: Babels Datter er som en Tærskeplads, når den stampes endnu en liden Stund, så kommer Høstens Tid for den.

34 Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel har fortæret mig, oprevet mig, sat mig til Side som et tomt kar. Som en Drage har han slugt mig, fyldt sin Vom med mine Lækkerbidskener og drevet mig bort.

35 Den Vold, jeg led, og min Overlast komme over Babel, siger de, som bor i Zion, mit Blod over Kaldæas Indbyggere, siger Jerusalem.

36 Derfor, så siger HE EN: Se, jeg fører din Sag og giver digHævn, jeg lægger dets Hav tørt og udtørrer dets Kilde.

37 Babel skal blive en Grushob, Sjakalers Bolig, til ædsel og Spot, så ingen bor der.

38 De brøler alle som Løver, knurrer som Løveunger i deres Vildskab.

39 Jeg holder et Drikkelag for dem og gør dem drukne, så de døves og falder i evig Søvn uden at vågne, lyder det fra HE EN.

40 Jeg fører dem ned til af slagtes som Får, som Vædre sammen med Bukke.

41 Hvor Sjesjak blev fanget og grebet, al Jordens Stolthed, hvor Babel dog blev til ædsel imellem Folkene!

42 Havet steg over Babel, af dets Bølgers Brus blev det skjult.

43 Dets Byer er blevet en Ørken, øde Land og Ødemark; intet Menneske bor i dem, intet Menneskebarn færdes i dem.

44 Jeg hjemsøger Bel i Babel, river ud af hans Mund, hvad han slugte, til ham skal ej Folkeslag strømme mer. Også Babels Mur er faldet.

45 Drag ud deraf, mit Folk, enhver redde sit Liv for HE ENs glødende Harme.

46 Lad ikke eders Hjerter blive modfaldne og frygt ikke ved de Tidender, der høres på Jorden, når der i det ene År kommer een Tidende og i det næste en anden, når der er Voldsfærd på Jorden og Hersker følger på Hersker.

47 Se, derfor skal Dage komme, da jeg hjemsøger Babels Gudebilleder, og alt dets Land bliver til Skamme, og alle deri skal falde på Valen.

48 Jubl over Babel, Himmel og Jord med alt, hvad i dem er, thi fra Nord kommer Hærværksmænd over det, lyder det fra HE EN.

49 Også Babel skal falde for de dræbte af Israels Skyld, ligesom dræbte på hele Jorden faldt for Babel.

50 I, som undslap Sværdet, drag bort, stands ikke, kom HE EN i Hu i det fjerne, lad Jerusalem komme frem i eders Tanker!

51 Vi blev til Skamme, thi Smædeord måtte vi høre; Blusel lagde sig over vore Ansigter, thi fremmede overfaldt HE ENs Huss Helligdomme.

52 Se, derfor skal Dage komme, lyder det fra HE EN, da jeg hjemsøger dets Gudebilleder, og sårede skal stønne i hele dets Land.

53 Selv om Babel stiger op til Himmelen, og selv om det gør sin Borg utilgængelig i det høje, fra mig skal der komme Hærværksmænd over det, lyder det fra HE EN.

54 Der lyder Skrig fra Babel, et vældigt Sammenbrud fra Kaldæernes Land.

55 Thi HE EN hærger Babel og gør Ende på den vældige Larm der; deres Bølger bruser som mange Vande, deres Brag lyder højt.

56 Thi en Hærværksmand kommer over Babel, og dets Helte skal fanges, deres Buer knækkes; thi en Gengældelsens Gud er HE EN, han giver fuld Løn.

57 Jeg gør dets Fyrster og Vismænd, dets Statholdere, Landshøvdinger og Helte drukne, og de skal falde i evig Søvn uden at vågne, lyder det fra kongen, hvis Navn er Hærskarers HE E.

58 Så siger Hærskarers HE E: Babels brede Mur skal nedbrydes til Grunden og dets høje Porte opbrændes. Folkeslagenes Møje er spildt, og Folkefærdene slider sig trætte for Ilden.

59 Det Ord, som Profefen Jeremias sendte med Seraja, en Søn at Masejas Søn Nerija, da han rejste, til Babel med Kong Zedekias af Juda i hans fjerde egeringsår; Seraja sørgede for Nattely til Kongen, når han var på ejse.

60 Jeremias optegnede al den Ulykke, som skulde komme over Babel, i en og samme Bog, alle disse Ord, der er skrevet mod Babel;

61 og Jeremias sagde til Seraja: "Når du kommer til Babel og ser Lejlighed dertil, skal du oplæse alle disse Ord

62 og sige: HE E, du truede selv dette Sted med Udryddelse, så der ikke bliver nogen, som bor der, - hverken Folk eller Fæ, men det skal blive en evig Ørken.

63 Og når du er til Ende med at oplæse denne Bog, skal du binde en Sten til den, kaste den i Eufrat

64 og sige: Således skal Babel gå til Bunds og ikke mere komme op for al den Ulykke, jeg sender over det!" Til Ordene "slider sig trætte for Ilden går Jeremiass Ord.

4. In support of this, I would like in this first chapter simply to cite passages from the Word where it says “that day, ” “on that day, ” or “at that time, ” passages where “day” and “time” mean the Lord’s Coming. From Isaiah:

In the days to come it will happen that the mountain of Jehovah will be established as the highest of the mountains. On that day Jehovah alone will be exalted. The day of Jehovah Sabaoth is majestic and high above all. On that day people will throw away idols of their silver and gold. (Isaiah 2:2, 11-12, 20)

On that day the Lord Jehovih will take away adornments. (Isaiah 3:18)

On that day the branch of Jehovah will be beautiful and glorious. (Isaiah 4:2)

You will say on that day, “I will praise you, Jehovah.” You will say on that day, “Praise Jehovah! Call upon his name!” (Isaiah 12:1, 4)

The day of Jehovah is near; it will come from Shaddai like destruction. Behold, the cruel day of Jehovah is coming-a day of resentment, blazing wrath, and anger.

(Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22)

Those who dwell on [this] island will say on that day, “Look at what has happened to our hope!” (Isaiah 20:6)

A day of tumult, trampling, and confusion from the Lord Jehovih Sabaoth... (Isaiah 22:5)

On that day Jehovah will punish the army of the high place and the monarchs of the earth. After a great many days they will be punished. Then the moon will blush and the sun will be ashamed. (Isaiah 24:21, 23)

On that day this song will be sung in the land of Jehovah: “We have a strong city.” (Isaiah 26:1)

On that day Jehovah will bring punishment with his sword. On that day answer him by saying, “A vineyard whose wine is pure.” (Isaiah 27:1-2, 12-13)

On that day Jehovah Sabaoth will become an ornate crown and a diadem. (Isaiah 28:5)

Then on that day the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of the darkness. (Isaiah 29:18)

(Jeremiah 23:5-7, 12, 20)

Behold, the days are coming in which I will turn back [the captivity of my people]. Alas, that day will be great, and there will be none like it. It will happen on that day that I will break the yoke and tear off the fetters. (Jeremiah 30:3, 7-8)

The day will come when the guards cry out on Mount Ephraim, “Arise, let us climb Zion to Jehovah our God.” Behold, the days are coming in which I will make a new covenant. The days are coming in which the city of Jehovah will be built. (Jeremiah 31:6, 27, 31, 38)

In those days and at that time the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together and seek Jehovah their God.

You, Daniel, close up the words and seal the book until the time of the end.

This day is a day of blazing wrath; a day of distress and repression; a day of destruction and devastation; a day of darkness and gloom; a day of clouds and thick darkness; a day of trumpets and shouting.

Wait for me until the day I rise up for plunder, because that will be my judgment. On that day you will not be ashamed of your deeds.

At that time I will gather you together to give you a name and praise. (Zephaniah 3:8, 11, 16, 19-20)

Behold, the day of Jehovah is coming. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. On that day there will be no light or radiance. One day that will be known to Jehovah, not day or night, there will be light around the time of evening. On that day living waters will go forth from Jerusalem. On that day Jehovah will be one, and his name one. On that day there will be a great panic from Jehovah. On that day “Holiness belongs to Jehovah” will be engraved on the bells of the horses. There will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah on that day. (Zechariah 14:1, 4, 6-9, 13, 20-21)

Who can bear the day of his coming? Who will stand when he appears? They will be mine on the day that I make them my treasure. Behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrifying day of Jehovah comes. (Malachi 3:2, 17; 4:1, 5)

In his days the righteous will flourish and there will be much peace, and he will reign from sea to sea, and from the river all the way to the ends of the earth. (Psalms 72:7-8)
