Hoseas 9

Studie

   

1 Gled dig ikke, Israel, og juble ikke, likesom folkene! For du har forlatt din Gud i hor; du har elsket horelønn på hvert sted hvor kornet treskes.

2 Treskeplassen og vinpersen skal ikke kunne fø dem, og mosten skal slå feil for dem.

3 De skal ikke bli boende i Herrens land; men Efra'im skal vende tilbake til Egypten, og i Assur skal de ete det som er urent.

4 De skal ikke ofre vin til drikkoffer for Herren, og deres slaktoffer skal ikke behage ham; som sorgens brød skal de være for dem; alle som eter det, skal bli urene; for sitt brød har de for sig selv, det kommer ikke i Herrens hus.

5 Hvad vil I gjøre på høitidsdagen, på Herrens festdag?

6 For de drar bort for ødeleggelses skyld; Egypten skal samle dem, Memfis begrave dem; deres sølvsmykker skal nesler ta i eie, torner skal vokse i deres telt.

7 Kommet er hjemsøkelsens dager, kommet er gjengjeldelsens dager; Israel skal få merke det: En dåre er profeten, avsindig er åndens mann, fordi din misgjerning er så stor og ditt fiendskap så sterkt.

8 Efra'im ser sig om efter andre guder ved siden av min Gud; profeten er en fuglefangersnare på alle hans veier, bare fiendskap i hans Guds hus.

9 De er sunket dypt i fordervelse, som i Gibeas dager; han skal komme deres misgjerning i hu, han skal hjemsøke dem for deres synder.

10 Som druer i ørkenen fant jeg Israel, som den tidligste frukt på et fikentre i dets første tid så jeg eders fedre; men da de kom til Ba'al-Peor, vidde de sig til avgudsdyrkelsen og blev vederstyggelige likesom den de elsket.

11 Efra'ims herlighet skal flyve bort som en fugl. Ingen fødsel, intet fruktsommelig morsliv, ingen undfangelse!

12 Ja, selv om de opfør sine barn, vil jeg gjøre dem barnløse, så intet menneske blir tilbake; for ve dem når jeg forlater dem!

13 Efra'im er, som om jeg så bort til Tyrus, plantet på en eng; men Efra'im må føre sine barn ut til bøddelen.

14 Gi dem, Herre! - Ja, hvad skal du Gi dem? Gi dem morsliv som føder i utide, og bryster som er uttørket!

15 All deres ondskap er samlet i Gilgal, ja, der har jeg fattet hat til dem; for deres onde gjerningers skyld vil jeg drive dem ut av mitt hus; jeg vil ikke elske dem mere, alle deres førere er oprørere.

16 Efra'im er ormstukket, deres rot er blitt tørr, frukt skal de ikke bære; om de enn føder, vil jeg drepe deres dyre livsfrukt.

17 Min Gud skal forkaste dem, fordi de ikke har hørt på ham, og de skal vanke om blandt folkene som flyktninger.

The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 192

  
/ 418  
  

192. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 9

1-3 They have falsified the truths of the church, therefore the church has been destroyed, and they will be natural, abiding only in reasonings from the natural man. (3, 3)

4-5 Consequently there is no Divine worship. (3)

6 All truth and good is turned into falsity and evil. (3)

7-9 They will perish on the day of judgment. (3)

12-13 The first of them were also such, they had no understanding of truth; so also their posterity, although instructed. (3)

14-17 The posterity of these cannot but become such. (3)

Editor's Introduction: In this work, Emanuel Swedenborg outlined the internal meaning of all the Prophetical Books, from Isaiah to Malachi, and the Psalms, and then the first 16 chapters of Genesis. It provides a survey of the inner meaning of a substantial portion of the Old Testament, in one place.

This work was written by Swedenborg in Latin, in 1761. It was translated from Latin into English by Rev. J. E. Schreck, and this translation was published by the Swedenborg Foundation, in New York, in 1900. This modified version of Schreck's 1900 translation does not update the text; instead just modifying numbering and formatting for clarity of use online.

Each chapter of each book of the Prophets has one corresponding numbered section in Swedenborg's explanation of its inner meaning, or internal sense. Swedenborg listed the verses that relate to each outlined point. We have added hyperlinks to the verse references, shown to the left of each outlined point. The Psalms and initial chapters of Genesis are treated in a similar fashion.

This work was not published by Swedenborg, but it is consistent with other more detailed treatments made in his published works. For example, Swedenborg refers to this work in Doctrine of the Lord 37.

Readers may also find these comparisons useful:

- No. 124 of this work, explaining Ezekiel 1, with The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture 97,

- Nos. 161, 162, explaining Ezekiel 38, and 39, with Apocalypse Revealed 859,

- No. 236, explaining Zechariah 4, with Apocalypse Revealed 43, and

- Nos. 244-246 of this work, explaining Zechariah 12, 13, 14, with Apocalypse Revealed 707.

In the manuscript, at the beginning, Swedenborg wrote out a list of works that he intended to write and publish. While it's clearly related to the project of outlining the internal meaning of the Prophets, Psalms, and historical parts of the Word, it seems to be an independent list. We reproduce Rev. Schreck's translation of that list here:

"To Be Published:

1. Concerning the Lord.

2. Concerning the Sacred Scripture or concerning the Word of the Lord.

3. All things of religion and of the worship of God in one complex in the Decalogue.

4. Concerning Faith.

5. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine Providence.

6. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine omnipotence and omniscience, and concerning infinity and eternity.

7. Angelic wisdom concerning life.

8. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine love and Divine wisdom."

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In the original Latin manuscript, Swedenborg cross-referred the outlined internal sense to a more general Table of Subjects, shown above. In the following passages, those references are shown in parentheses, e.g. (3) would refer to subject number 3 above. We received the Latin text for this "front matter" from the Heavenly Doctrines Publishing Foundation.

2. Editor's Note (Schreck): No. 14 is crossed out by Swedenborg in his MS., and is never referred to in the text. It reads, "The state of unition with His Divine," which is the same as No. 10.

Doctrine of the Lord 3 for an outline of a similar set of themes that form the internal sense of the prophetical books.
