Studie

       

44 Voici, il montera comme un lion à cause de l'enflure du Jourdain, vers la demeure du pays rude, et après que je les aurai fait reposer je les ferai courir hors de la Caldée, et qui est d'élite, que je lui donne commission contre elle? Car qui est semblable à moi? et qui me déterminera le temps? et qui sera le Pasteur qui tiendra ferme contre moi?

76. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 10

1-2 Let not those be feared who wish to prevail by their own intelligence and by means of artifices. (3)

3-5 It is described how they make evil to appear like good, and make themselves appear powerful, (3)

6-7 whereas the Lord alone has power. (16)

8-9 To do this they abuse the Word; (3)

10 but the Lord alone reigns, (16)

11 and those who do not acknowledge Him vanish. (4)

12-13 All truth is from the Lord. (16)

14-15 Self-intelligence amounts to nothing at all; it will perish. (2, 3)

11 It is otherwise with a church that trusts in the Lord.

17-18 The preparation of these during the destruction of the former. (11, 3)

19-21 Grief because of the backsliding of the church from the Lord, and its vastation. (3, 11)

22 Their end. (3)

23-25 Prayer to the Lord that they may not perish together with the evil. (11)
