7 Babylone a été comme une coupe d'or en la main de l'Eternel, enivrant toute la terre; les nations ont bu de son vin; c'est pourquoi les nations en ont perdu l'esprit.

91. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 25

1-3 The Lord to those with whom the church has been instituted. (11, 2)

4-7 He taught them continually by the Word, that they should refrain from evils, and not go away to any other worship than that of the Lord; but they did not obey. (2, 11)

8-11 Therefore everything of the church among them will perish, and they will be in temptations from those who profane things holy. (2)

12 Retribution will afterwards visit the tempters. (2, 11, 3)

13-14 It will so come to pass. (2, 11)

15-27 Knowledges [cognitiones] of truth and good, and also truths of every kind and sort will perish. (3)

28-30 This cannot otherwise than come to pass, even with those who are in knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word. (3)

31-33 There is no longer any truth that has not been profaned. (3)

34-38 Lamentation by those who are in good, and in truths therefrom. (11)

Zechariah 13

Studie

   

1 "In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

2 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.

3 It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, 'You must die, because you speak lies in the name of Yahweh;' and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

4 It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:

5 but he will say, 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.'

6 One will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' Then he will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'

7 "Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me," says Yahweh of Armies. "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

8 It shall happen that in all the land," says Yahweh, "two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.

9 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, 'It is my people;' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"
