1 וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם הִנָּבֵא אֶל־הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר־יְהוָה׃

2 כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן אָמַר הָאֹויֵב עֲלֵיכֶם הֶאָח וּבָמֹות עֹולָם לְמֹורָשָׁה הָיְתָה לָּנוּ׃

3 לָכֵן הִנָּבֵא וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן בְּיַעַן שַׁמֹּות וְשָׁאֹף אֶתְכֶם מִסָּבִיב לִהְיֹותְכֶם מֹורָשָׁה לִשְׁאֵרִית הַגֹּויִם וַתֵּעֲלוּ עַל־שְׂפַת לָשֹׁון וְדִבַּת־עָם׃

4 לָכֵן הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר־אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה לֶהָרִים וְלַגְּבָעֹות לָאֲפִיקִים וְלַגֵּאָיֹות וְלֶחֳרָבֹות הַשֹּׁמְמֹות וְלֶעָרִים הַנֶּעֱזָבֹות אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ לְבַז וּלְלַעַג לִשְׁאֵרִית הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר מִסָּבִיב׃ ס

5 לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אִם־לֹא בְּאֵשׁ קִנְאָתִי דִבַּרְתִּי עַל־שְׁאֵרִית הַגֹּויִם וְעַל־אֱדֹום כֻּלָּא אֲשֶׁר נָתְנוּ־אֶת־אַרְצִי לָהֶם לְמֹורָשָׁה בְּשִׂמְחַת כָּל־לֵבָב בִּשְׁאָט נֶפֶשׁ לְמַעַן מִגְרָשָׁהּ לָבַז׃

6 לָכֵן הִנָּבֵא עַל־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ לֶהָרִים וְלַגְּבָעֹות לָאֲפִיקִים וְלַגֵּאָיֹות כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי בְקִנְאָתִי וּבַחֲמָתִי דִּבַּרְתִּי יַעַן כְּלִמַּת גֹּויִם נְשָׂאתֶם׃

7 לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אֲנִי נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־יָדִי אִם־לֹא הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר לָכֶם מִסָּבִיב הֵמָּה כְּלִמָּתָם יִשָּׂאוּ׃

8 וְאַתֶּם הָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַנְפְּכֶם תִּתֵּנוּ וּפֶרְיְכֶם תִּשְׂאוּ לְעַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי קֵרְבוּ לָבֹוא׃

9 כִּי הִנְנִי אֲלֵיכֶם וּפָנִיתִי אֲלֵיכֶם וְנֶעֱבַדְתֶּם וְנִזְרַעְתֶּם׃

10 וְהִרְבֵּיתִי עֲלֵיכֶם אָדָם כָּל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלֹּה וְנֹשְׁבוּ הֶעָרִים וְהֶחֳרָבֹות תִּבָּנֶינָה׃

11 וְהִרְבֵּיתִי עֲלֵיכֶם אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה וְרָבוּ וּפָרוּ וְהֹושַׁבְתִּי אֶתְכֶם כְּקַדְמֹותֵיכֶם וְהֵטִבֹתִי מֵרִאשֹׁתֵיכֶם וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה׃

12 וְהֹולַכְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם אָדָם אֶת־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִירֵשׁוּךָ וְהָיִיתָ לָהֶם לְנַחֲלָה וְלֹא־תֹוסִף עֹוד לְשַׁכְּלָם׃ ס

13 כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן אֹמְרִים לָכֶם אֹכֶלֶת אָדָם [כ= אָתִּי] [ק= אָתְּ] וּמְשַׁכֶּלֶת [כ= גֹּויֵךְ] [ק= גֹּויַיִךְ] הָיִית׃

14 לָכֵן אָדָם לֹא־תֹאכְלִי עֹוד [כ= וְגֹויֵךְ] [ק= וְגֹויַיִךְ] לֹא [כ= תְכַשְּׁלִי] [ק= תְשַׁכְּלִי]־עֹוד נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃

15 וְלֹא־אַשְׁמִיעַ אֵלַיִךְ עֹוד כְּלִמַּת הַגֹּויִם וְחֶרְפַּת עַמִּים לֹא תִשְׂאִי־עֹוד [כ= וְגֹויֵךְ] [ק= וְגֹויַיִךְ] לֹא־תַכְשִׁלִי עֹוד נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ ס

16 וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃

17 בֶּן־אָדָם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יֹשְׁבִים עַל־אַדְמָתָם וַיְטַמְּאוּ אֹותָהּ בְּדַרְכָּם וּבַעֲלִילֹותָם כְּטֻמְאַת הַנִּדָּה הָיְתָה דַרְכָּם לְפָנָי׃

18 וָאֶשְׁפֹּךְ חֲמָתִי עֲלֵיהֶם עַל־הַדָּם אֲשֶׁר־שָׁפְכוּ עַל־הָאָרֶץ וּבְגִלּוּלֵיהֶם טִמְּאוּהָ׃

19 וָאָפִיץ אֹתָם בַּגֹּויִם וַיִּזָּרוּ בָּאֲרָצֹות כְּדַרְכָּם וְכַעֲלִילֹותָם שְׁפַטְתִּים׃

20 וַיָּבֹוא אֶל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ שָׁם וַיְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם קָדְשִׁי בֶּאֱמֹר לָהֶם עַם־יְהוָה אֵלֶּה וּמֵאַרְצֹו יָצָאוּ׃

21 וָאֶחְמֹל עַל־שֵׁם קָדְשִׁי אֲשֶׁר חִלְּלוּהוּ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ שָׁמָּה׃ ס

22 לָכֵן אֱמֹר לְבֵית־יִשְׂרָאֵל כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה לֹא לְמַעַנְכֶם אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי אִם־לְשֵׁם־קָדְשִׁי אֲשֶׁר חִלַּלְתֶּם בַּגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר־בָּאתֶם שָׁם׃

23 וְקִדַּשְׁתִּי אֶת־שְׁמִי הַגָּדֹול הַמְחֻלָּל בַּגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר חִלַּלְתֶּם בְּתֹוכָם וְיָדְעוּ הַגֹּויִם כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּהִקָּדְשִׁי בָכֶם לְעֵינֵיהֶם׃

24 וְלָקַחְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הַגֹּויִם וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִכָּל־הָאֲרָצֹות וְהֵבֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם אֶל־אַדְמַתְכֶם׃

25 וְזָרַקְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם מַיִם טְהֹורִים וּטְהַרְתֶּם מִכֹּל טֻמְאֹותֵיכֶם וּמִכָּל־גִּלּוּלֵיכֶם אֲטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם׃

26 וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם לֵב חָדָשׁ וְרוּחַ חֲדָשָׁה אֶתֵּן בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וַהֲסִרֹתִי אֶת־לֵב הָאֶבֶן מִבְּשַׂרְכֶם וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם לֵב בָּשָׂר׃

27 וְאֶת־רוּחִי אֶתֵּן בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וְעָשִׂיתִי אֵת אֲשֶׁר־בְּחֻקַּי תֵּלֵכוּ וּמִשְׁפָּטַי תִּשְׁמְרוּ וַעֲשִׂיתֶם׃

28 וִישַׁבְתֶּם בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם וִהְיִיתֶם לִי לְעָם וְאָנֹכִי אֶהְיֶה לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים׃

29 וְהֹושַׁעְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִכֹּל טֻמְאֹותֵיכֶם וְקָרָאתִי אֶל־הַדָּגָן וְהִרְבֵּיתִי אֹתֹו וְלֹא־אֶתֵּן עֲלֵיכֶם רָעָב׃

30 וְהִרְבֵּיתִי אֶת־פְּרִי הָעֵץ וּתְנוּבַת הַשָּׂדֶה לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא תִקְחוּ עֹוד חֶרְפַּת רָעָב בַּגֹּויִם׃

31 וּזְכַרְתֶּם אֶת־דַּרְכֵיכֶם הָרָעִים וּמַעַלְלֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־טֹובִים וּנְקֹטֹתֶם בִּפְנֵיכֶם עַל עֲוֹנֹתֵיכֶם וְעַל תֹּועֲבֹותֵיכֶם׃

32 לֹא לְמַעַנְכֶם אֲנִי־עֹשֶׂה נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יִוָּדַע לָכֶם בֹּושׁוּ וְהִכָּלְמוּ מִדַּרְכֵיכֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ס

33 כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּיֹום טַהֲרִי אֶתְכֶם מִכֹּל עֲוֹנֹותֵיכֶם וְהֹושַׁבְתִּי אֶת־הֶעָרִים וְנִבְנוּ הֶחֳרָבֹות׃

34 וְהָאָרֶץ הַנְּשַׁמָּה תֵּעָבֵד תַּחַת אֲשֶׁר הָיְתָה שְׁמָמָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל־עֹובֵר׃

35 וְאָמְרוּ הָאָרֶץ הַלֵּזוּ הַנְּשַׁמָּה הָיְתָה כְּגַן־עֵדֶן וְהֶעָרִים הֶחֳרֵבֹות וְהַנְשַׁמֹּות וְהַנֶּהֱרָסֹות בְּצוּרֹות יָשָׁבוּ׃

36 וְיָדְעוּ הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׁאֲרוּ סְבִיבֹותֵיכֶם כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה בָּנִיתִי הַנֶּהֱרָסֹות נָטַעְתִּי הַנְּשַׁמָּה אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי וְעָשִׂיתִי׃ ס

37 כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה עֹוד זֹאת אִדָּרֵשׁ לְבֵית־יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשֹׂות לָהֶם אַרְבֶּה אֹתָם כַּצֹּאן אָדָם׃

38 כְּצֹאן קָדָשִׁים כְּצֹאן יְרוּשָׁלִַם בְּמֹועֲדֶיהָ כֵּן תִּהְיֶינָה הֶעָרִים הֶחֳרֵבֹות מְלֵאֹות צֹאן אָדָם וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה׃ ס

251. To demonstrate from the Word that it contains pairs of expressions which look like repetitions of the same thing would be tedious, since it would fill pages. But in order to remove any doubt, I should like to quote passages where nation and people, and joy and gladness are mentioned together. The passages in which nation 1 and people are named are the following:

Woe to the nation of sinners, a people burdened with iniquity, Isaiah 1:4.

The people who walk in darkness have seen a great light; you have increased the nation, Isaiah 9:2-3.

Assyria is the rod of my anger; I shall send him against a nation of hypocrites, against the people of my wrath shall I order him to march, Isaiah 10:5-6.

It will happen on that day, the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a sign to the peoples, Isaiah 11:10.

Jehovah who struck the peoples an incurable blow, mastering the nations with wrath, Isaiah 14:6.

On that day there will be brought as a gift to Jehovah Zebaoth a people torn apart and plundered, and a nation measured out and trampled, Isaiah 18:7.

A strong people will honour you, the city of powerful nations will fear you, Isaiah 25:3.

Jehovah will swallow up the veil over all peoples, the pall over all nations, Isaiah 25:7.

Approach, you nations, and listen, you peoples, Isaiah 34:1.

I have called you to be a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, Isaiah 42:6.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples assemble, Isaiah 43:9.

Look, I shall raise my hand towards the nations, and my signal towards the peoples, Isaiah 49:22.

I made him a witness to the peoples a prince and law-giver to the nations, Isaiah 55:4-5.

Look, a people coming from the land of the north, and a mighty nation from the corners of the earth, Jeremiah 6:22-23.

I shall make you not to hear any longer the slander of the nations, and you will no longer bear the reproaches of the peoples, Ezekiel 36:15.

All peoples and nations will worship Him, Daniel 7:14.

Lest the nations make a by-word of them, and say among the peoples, Where is their God? Joel 2:17.

The survivors of my people will plunder them, and the remnant of my nation will take their inheritance, Zephaniah 2:9.

Many people and numerous nations will come to seek Jehovah in Jerusalem, Zechariah 8:22.

My eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to be a revelation to the nations, Luke 2:30-32.

You have redeemed us by your blood from every people and nation, Revelation 5:9.

You must prophesy again over the peoples and nations, Revelation 10:11.

You will set me to be head of the nations; a people whom I knew not shall serve me, Psalms 18:43.

Jehovah makes vain the counsel of the nations, overthrows the thoughts of the peoples, Psalms 33:10.

You make us a proverb among the nations, a wagging of the head among the peoples, Psalms 44:14.

Jehovah will set peoples subject to us, and nations beneath our feet. God reigns over the nations: the willing ones of the peoples are gathered, Psalms 47:3, 8-9.

The peoples shall confess you, and the nations shall shout for joy; because you will judge the peoples with righteousness and will lead the nations on the earth, Psalms 67:3-4.

Remember me, Jehovah, in showing favour to your people, that I may rejoice in the joy of your nations, Psalms 106:4-5.

There are other passages too.

The reason why nations and peoples are mentioned together is that nations means those who are in possession of good, and in the opposite sense, those who are in possession of evil; and peoples means those who are in possession of truths, and in the opposite sense, those who are in possession of falsities. Therefore, those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom are called peoples, and those who belong to His celestial kingdom are called nations. For all who possess truths and the intelligence they give are in the spiritual kingdom, and all who possess various kinds of good and the wisdom they give are in the celestial kingdom.

Isaiah 49

Studie

   

1 Listen, islands, to me; and Listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name:

2 and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close:

3 and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice [due] to me is with Yahweh, and my reward with my God."

5 Now says Yahweh who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God is become my strength);

6 yes, he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth."

7 Thus says Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Yahweh who is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."

8 Thus says Yahweh, "In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:

9 saying to those who are bound, 'Come out!'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves!' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.

10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.

11 I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

12 Behold, these shall come from far; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim."

13 Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

14 But Zion said, "Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me."

15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!

16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.

17 Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who made you waste shall go forth from you.

18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says Yahweh, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.

19 "For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.

20 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.

21 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"

22 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, "Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

23 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."

24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?

25 But thus says Yahweh, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.

26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
