Jeremia 16

Studie

   

1 Und des HERRN Wort geschah zu mir und sprach:

2 Du sollst kein Weib nehmen und weder Söhne noch Töchter zeugen an diesem Ort.

3 Denn so spricht der HERR von den Söhnen und Töchtern, so an diesem Ort geboren werden, dazu von ihren Müttern, die sie gebären, und von ihren Vätern, die sie zeugen in diesem Lande:

4 Sie sollen an Krankheiten sterben und weder beklagt noch begraben werden, sondern sollen Mist werden auf dem Lande, dazu durch Schwert und Hunger umkommen, und ihre Leichname sollen der Vögel des Himmels und der Tiere auf Erden Speise sein.

5 Denn so spricht der HERR: Du sollst nicht zum Trauerhaus gehen und sollst auch nirgendhin zu klagen gehen noch Mitleid über sie haben; denn ich habe meinen Frieden von diesem Volk weggenommen, spricht der HERR, samt meiner Gnade und Barmherzigkeit,

6 daß beide, groß und klein, sollen in diesem Lande sterben und nicht begraben noch geklaget werden, und niemand wird sich über sie zerritzen noch kahl machen.

7 Und man wird auch nicht unter sie Brot austeilen über der Klage, sie zu trösten über der Leiche, und ihnen auch nicht aus dem Trostbecher zu trinken geben über Vater und Mutter.

8 Darum sollst du in kein Trinkhaus gehen, bei ihnen zu sitzen, weder zu essen noch zu trinken.

9 Denn so spricht der HERR Zebaoth, der Gott Israels: Siehe, ich will an diesem Ort aufheben vor euren Augen und bei eurem Leben die Stimme der Freude und Wonne, die Stimme des Bräutigams und der Braut.

10 Und wenn du solches alles diesem Volk gesagt hast, und sie zu dir sprechen werden: Warum redet der HERR über uns all dies große Unglück? welches ist die Missetat und Sünde, damit wir wider den HERRN, unsern Gott, gesündiget haben?

11 sollst du ihnen sagen: Darum daß eure Väter mich verlassen, spricht der HERR, und andern Göttern gefolget, denselbigen gedienet und sie angebetet, mich aber verlassen und mein Gesetz nicht gehalten haben,

12 und ihr noch ärger tut denn eure Väter. Denn siehe, ein jeglicher lebt nach seines bösen Herzens Gedünken, daß er mir nicht gehorche.

13 Darum will ich euch aus diesem Lande stoßen in ein Land, davon weder ihr noch eure Väter wissen; daselbst sollt ihr andern Göttern dienen Tag und Nacht; daselbst will ich euch keine Gnade erzeigen.

14 Darum siehe, es kommt die Zeit, spricht der HERR, daß man nicht mehr sagen wird: So wahr der HERR lebt, der die Kinder Israel aus Ägyptenland geführet hat,

15 sondern: So wahr der HERR lebt, der die Kinder Israel geführet hat aus dem Lande der Mitternacht und aus allen Ländern, dahin er sie verstoßen hatte. Denn ich will sie wiederbringen in das Land, das ich ihren Vätern gegeben habe.

16 Siehe, ich will viel Fischer aussenden, spricht der HERR, die sollen sie fischen; und danach will ich viel Jäger aussenden, die sollen sie fahen auf allen Bergen und auf allen Hügeln und in allen Steinritzen.

17 Denn meine Augen sehen auf alle ihre Wege, daß sie vor mir sich nicht verhehlen können; und ihre Missetat ist vor meinen Augen unverborgen.

18 Aber zuvor will ich ihre Missetat und Sünde zwiefach bezahlen, darum daß sie mein Land mit den Leichen ihrer Abgötterei verunreiniget und mein Erbe mit ihren Greueln voll gemacht haben.

19 HERR, du bist meine Stärke und Kraft und meine Zuflucht in der Not. Die Heiden werden zu dir kommen von der Welt Ende und sagen: Unsere Väter haben falsche und nichtige Götter gehabt, die nichts nützen können.

20 Wie kann ein Mensch Götter machen, die nicht Götter sind?

21 Darum siehe, nun will ich sie lehren und meine Hand und Gewalt ihnen kundtun, daß sie erfahren sollen, ich heiße der HERR.

506. And not allow their bodies to be put into tombs. This symbolically means that they have condemned these two essential elements and will continue to condemn them.

The bodies here symbolize the two essential elements of the New Church, as explained in no. 505 and earlier numbers. And not allowing these to be put into tombs symbolizes their rejection as condemned. This is the symbolic meaning because putting people into tombs or burying them symbolizes their resurrection and continuation of life, for committed to the earth then are the materials taken from the earth, thus things that are earthly and so unclean. Thus not to be put into tombs or buried means, symbolically, to remain immersed in earthly and unclean things, and therefore to be rejected as condemned.

It was owing to this that in the church among the children of Israel, which was a representational church, it was a statute that people regarded as condemned be cast out and not buried, as is apparent from the following passages:

(Jehovah said concerning them,) "They shall die harsh deaths. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall become dung on the face of the earth... and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the air and for the animals of the earth." (Jeremiah 16:3-4)

(Prophets who prophesy falsely) shall be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem... having no one to bury them. (Jeremiah 14:15-16)

At that time... they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets... from their graves... They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall become dung on the face of the earth. (Jeremiah 8:1-2)

The dogs would eat Jezebel on the plot of ground... having no one to bury her. (2 Kings 9:10)

...you have been cast out of your grave like an abominable twig..., like a corpse trodden underfoot. You will not be joined with them in burial... (Isaiah 14:19-20)

And so on elsewhere, as in Jeremiah 25:32-33; 22:19; 7:32-33; 19:11-12, 2 Kings 23:16.

Isaiah 14

Studie

   

1 For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.

2 The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh's land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

3 It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,

4 that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!"

5 Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,

6 who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.

7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.

8 Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us."

9 Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10 They all will answer and ask you, "Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?"

11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.

12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!"

15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit.

16 Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;

17 who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn't release his prisoners to their home?"

18 All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

19 But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.

20 You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The seed of evildoers will not be named forever.

21 Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

22 "I will rise up against them," says Yahweh of Armies, "and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son," says Yahweh.

23 "I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," says Yahweh of Armies.

24 Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

27 For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"

28 This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.

29 Don't rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.

30 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.

31 Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
