1 Tu autem, fili hominis, propheta super montes Israël, et dices : Montes Israël, audite verbum Domini.

2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Eo quod dixerit inimicus de vobis : Euge, altitudines sempiternæ in hæreditatem datæ sunt nobis :

3 propterea vaticinare, et dic : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Pro eo quod desolati estis, et conculcati per circuitum, et facti in hæreditatem reliquis gentibus, et ascendistis super labium linguæ et opprobrium populi,

4 propterea, montes Israël, audite verbum Domini Dei. Hæc dicit Dominus Deus montibus et collibus, torrentibus, vallibusque et desertis, parietinis et urbibus derelictis, quæ depopulatæ sunt et subsannatæ a reliquis gentibus per circuitum.

5 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quoniam in igne zeli mei locutus sum de reliquis gentibus, et de Idumæa universa, quæ dederunt terram meam sibi in hæreditatem cum gaudio, et toto corde et ex animo, et ejecerunt eam ut vastarent :

6 idcirco vaticinare super humum Israël, et dices montibus et collibus, jugis et vallibus : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego in zelo meo et in furore meo locutus sum, eo quod confusionem gentium sustinueritis.

7 Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ego levavi manum meam, ut gentes quæ in circuitu vestro sunt, ipsæ confusionem suam portent.

8 Vos autem, montes Israël, ramos vestros germinetis, et fructum vestrum afferatis populo meo Israël : prope enim est ut veniat.

9 Quia ecce ego ad vos, et convertar ad vos : et arabimini, et accipietis sementem.

10 Et multiplicabo in vobis homines, omnemque domum Israël : et habitabuntur civitates, et ruinosa instaurabuntur.

11 Et replebo vos hominibus et jumentis : et multiplicabuntur, et crescent : et habitare vos faciam sicut a principio, bonisque donabo majoribus quam habuistis ab initio : et scietis quia ego Dominus.

12 Et adducam super vos homines, populum meum Israël, et hæreditate possidebunt te : et eris eis in hæreditatem, et non addes ultra ut absque eis sis.

13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Pro eo quod dicunt de vobis : Devoratrix hominum es, et suffocans gentem tuam,

14 propterea homines non comedes amplius, et gentem tuam non necabis ultra, ait Dominus Deus.

15 Nec auditam faciam in te amplius confusionem gentium, et opprobrium populorum nequaquam portabis : et gentem tuam non amittes amplius, ait Dominus Deus.

16 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :

17 Fili hominis, domus Israël habitaverunt in humo sua, et polluerunt eam in viis suis et in studiis suis : juxta immunditiam menstruatæ facta est via eorum coram me.

18 Et effudi indignationem meam super eos pro sanguine quem fuderunt super terram, et in idolis suis polluerunt eam.

19 Et dispersi eos in gentes, et ventilati sunt in terras : juxta vias eorum et adinventiones eorum judicavi eos.

20 Et ingressi sunt ad gentes ad quas introierunt : et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum, cum diceretur de eis : Populus Domini iste est, et de terra ejus egressi sunt.

21 Et peperci nomini sancto meo, quod polluerat domus Israël in gentibus ad quas ingressi sunt.

22 Idcirco dices domui Israël : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Non propter vos ego faciam, domus Israël, sed propter nomen sanctum meum, quod polluistis in gentibus ad quas intrastis.

23 Et sanctificabo nomen meum magnum, quod pollutum est inter gentes, quod polluistis in medio earum, ut sciant gentes quia ego Dominus, ait Dominus exercituum, cum sanctificatus fuero in vobis coram eis.

24 Tollam quippe vos de gentibus, et congregabo vos de universis terris, et adducam vos in terram vestram.

25 Et effundam super vos aquam mundam, et mundabimini ab omnibus inquinamentis vestris, et ab universis idolis vestris mundabo vos.

26 Et dabo vobis cor novum, et spiritum novum ponam in medio vestri : et auferam cor lapideum de carne vestra, et dabo vobis cor carneum.

27 Et spiritum meum ponam in medio vestri : et faciam ut in præceptis meis ambuletis, et judicia mea custodiatis et operemini.

28 Et habitabitis in terra quam dedi patribus vestris : et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.

29 Et salvabo vos ex universis inquinamentis vestris : et vocabo frumentum et multiplicabo illud, et non imponam vobis famem.

30 Et multiplicabo fructum ligni, et genimina agri, ut non portetis ultra opprobrium famis in gentibus.

31 Et recordabimini viarum vestrarum pessimarum, studiorumque non bonorum : et displicebunt vobis iniquitates vestræ et scelera vestra.

32 Non propter vos ego faciam, ait Dominus Deus : notum sit vobis : confundimini, et erubescite super viis vestris, domus Israël.

33 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : In die qua mundavero vos ex omnibus iniquitatibus vestris, et inhabitari fecero urbes, et instauravero ruinosa,

34 et terra deserta fuerit exculta, quæ quondam erat desolata in oculis omnis viatoris,

35 dicent : Terra illa inculta facta est ut hortus voluptatis : et civitates desertæ, et destitutæ atque suffossæ, munitæ sederunt.

36 Et scient gentes quæcumque derelictæ fuerint in circuitu vestro, quia ego Dominus ædificavi dissipata, plantavique inculta : ego Dominus locutus sim, et fecerim.

37 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Adhuc in hoc invenient me domus Israël, ut faciam eis : multiplicabo eos sicut gregem hominum,

38 ut gregem sanctum, ut gregem Jerusalem in solemnitatibus ejus : sic erunt civitates desertæ, plenæ gregibus hominum : et scient quia ego Dominus.

705. The four items, flesh, blood, bread and wine, mean spiritual and celestial things corresponding to them, as can be established from the passages in the Word where they are mentioned. Flesh in the Word has a spiritual and celestial meaning, as can be established from the following passages:

Come and gather for the feast of the great God 1 , to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of strong men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all free men and slaves, both small and great, Revelation 19:17-18.

And in Ezekiel:

Gather from round about to my sacrifice, the great sacrifice that I am making for you upon the mountains of Israel; that you may eat the flesh and drink the blood. You will eat the flesh of strong men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth. You will eat fat from my sacrifice until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk. And you will be sated at my table with horse and chariot, with the strong man and every man of war. Thus shall I set my glory among the nations, Ezekiel 39:17-21.

Anyone can see that in those passages flesh does not mean flesh, neither does blood mean blood, but the spiritual and celestial things corresponding to them. What otherwise would be the meaning - unless they were meaningless and extraordinary expressions - of eating the flesh of kings, captains, strong men, horses and them that sat on them, of being sated at the table with horse, chariot, a strong man and every man of war? Or of drinking the blood of the princes of the earth, and drinking blood until one is drunk? It is perfectly clear that these things are said about the Lord's Holy Supper, for the feast 2 of the great God, and also the great sacrifice, are mentioned.

[2] Since all spiritual and celestial things have reference exclusively to good and truth, it follows that flesh means the good of charity and blood the truth of faith; and in the highest sense the Lord in respect of the Divine good of love and in respect of the Divine truth of wisdom. Flesh also means spiritual good in these words of Ezekiel:

I shall give them one heart, and I shall put a new spirit in your midst, and I shall take away the heart of stone, and give them a heart of flesh, Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26.

Heart in the Word stands for love, so a heart of flesh stands for the love of good. Moreover, it is more fully established that flesh and blood mean spiritual good and spiritual truth from the meaning of bread and wine in the next section, since the Lord says that His flesh is bread and His blood is wine, which was drunk from a cup.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. This follows the reading of some manuscripts of the Greek; but cf. 196, 1, where 'great' is applied to the feast.

2. Or: supper.
