Jeremiah 45

Studie

   

1 Tämä on se sana, jonka propheta Jeremia puhui Barukille Nerijan pojalle, kuin hän nämät sanat kirjoitti kirjaan Jeremian suusta, neljäntenä Jojakimin Josian pojan, Juudan kuninkaan vuonna, ja sanoi:

2 Näin sanoo Herra Zebaot, Israelin Jumala, sinusta Baruk:

3 Sinä sanoit: voi nyt minua! kuinka on Herra vaivaa minun kivulleni lisännyt; minä huokaan minuni väsyksiin, ja en löydä lepoa.

4 Sano hänelle näin: näin sanoo Herra: katso, mitä minä rakensin, sen minä kukistan, ja mitä minä istutin, sen minä hävitän, niin myös koko tämän maan.

5 Ja sinä etsit itselles suuria kappaleita. Älä niitä pyydä, sillä katso, minä tahdon antaa tulla onnettomuuden kaikelle lihalle, sanoo Herra; mutta sinun sielus minä tahdon sinulle niinkuin saaliin antaa joka paikassa, kuhunka sinä vaellat.

49. 21. (The young lions roar, they give out their voice, they reduce the land to wasteness (Jeremiah 2:15).)

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah, and all the nations shall be gathered on account of the name of Jehovah to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 3:17). Concerning the New Church.

(A lion has gone up from his thicket and a destroyer of nations has set out; he is gone forth from his place to reduce thy land to wasteness. It shall come to pass in that day that the heart of the king shall perish and the heart of the princes, and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder (Jeremiah 4:7, 9).)

Breaking upon breaking is cried, for the whole land is devastated; suddenly are my tents devastated. I beheld, when lo, Carmel was a wilderness, and all the cities were desolated at the presence of Jehovah, for thus saith Jehovah the whole land shall be a waste; nevertheless I will not make a full end (Jeremiah 4:20, 26-28; 5:10, 18).

Shall I not visit for this, and shall not my soul take vengeance on such a nation as this? (Jeremiah 5:9, 29.)

(As a fountain causeth its waters to be cast forth, so Jerusalem causeth her wickedness to be cast forth; violence and vastation is heard in her. Receive reproof, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I reduce thee to a waste, a land not inhabited (Jeremiah 6:7-8).

At [that] time I will visit them (Jeremiah 6:15).

(Daughter of my people, make thee mourning for an only begotten, for the waster shall suddenly come upon you (Jeremiah 6:26).

(Behold the days come when the carcass of this people shall be for food for the bird of the heavens, and for the beast of the earth, none frightening them away. I will cause to cease from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall become a waste (Jeremiah 7:32-34; Genesis 15:11, 17).)
