Geremia 47

Studie

   

1 LA parola del Signore che fu indirizzata al profeta Geremia contro a’ Filistei, avanti che Faraone percotesse Gaza.

2 Così ha detto il Signore: Ecco, delle acque salgono di Settentrione, e sono come un torrente che trabocca, e inonderanno la terra, e tutto quello ch’è in essa, le città, e i loro abitanti; e gli uomini grideranno, e tutti gli abitatori del paese urleranno.

3 Per lo strepito del calpestio delle unghie de’ destrieri di esso, per lo romore de’ suoi carri, per lo fracasso delle sue ruote, i padri non si son rivolti a’ figliuoli, per la fiacchezza delle lor mani;

4 per cagion del giorno che viene, per guastar tutti i Filistei, per isterminare a Tiro, e a Sidon, ogni rimanente di aiuto; perciocchè il Signore diserterà i Filistei, il rimanente dell’isola di Caftor.

5 Raditura di capo è avvenuta a Gaza, Ascalon è perita, col rimanente della lor valle. Infino a quando ti farai tu delle tagliature addosso?

6 Ahi spada del Signore! infino a quando non ti riposerai? ricogliti nel tuo fodero, riposati, e resta.

7 Come ti riposeresti? conciossiachè il Signore le abbia data commessione, e l’abbia assegnata là, contro ad Ascalon, e contro al lito del mare.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

5320. 'And placed a chain of gold onto his neck' means an outward sign denoting the joining of interior things to exterior ones, good being that which effects that joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'the neck' as a flowing in, also the communication of higher things with lower ones, or what amounts to the same, interior things with exterior ones, dealt with in 3542; and therefore 'a chain', because it goes around the neck, is a sign denoting the joining together of those things. 'A chain of gold' means a joining together by means of good; that is, good is the means which effects it, because 'gold' means good, 113, 1551, 1552. A sign denoting the joining of interior truth to exterior truth is meant by 'a chain onto the neck' in Ezekiel,

I adorned you with ornaments and put bracelets onto your hands and a chain onto your neck. Ezekiel 16:11.

1728. 'And he was a priest' means the holiness of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'a priest' in the Word. Two special ways in which the Lord is characterized are as King and as Priest. A king or the office of king means holy truth, and a priest or the office of priest means holy good. The former is the Divine Spiritual, the latter the Divine Celestial. As King the Lord governs every single thing in the universe from Divine Truth; but as Priest He does so from Divine Good. Divine Truth is the order itself of His kingdom existing everywhere, all the laws of which are truths, or eternal verities. Divine Good is the very essential of order, every aspect of which is an expression of mercy. Both of these - Divine Good and Divine Truth - are attributed to the Lord. If solely Divine Truth were His, no mortal man could be saved, for truths condemn everyone to hell. But Divine Good, which is the essence of mercy, raises people up from hell towards heaven. Divine Truth and Divine Good are what kings and priests in the Jewish Church represented; and Melchizedek as king of Salem and priest to God Most High represented them too.
