Jezekilj 33

1 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, govori sinovima naroda svog, i kaži im: Kad pustim na koju zemlju mač, ako narod one zemlje uzme koga između sebe, i postave ga sebi za stražara,

3 I on videvši mač gde ide na zemlju zatrubi u trubu, i opomene narod,

4 Ako se ko čuvši trubu ne uzme na um, i mač došavši pogubi ga, krv će njegova biti na njegovoj glavi.

5 Jer ču glas trubni, i ne uze se na um, krv će njegova biti na njemu; da se uze na um, sačuvao bi dušu svoju.

6 Ako li stražar videvši mač gde ide ne zatrubi u trubu i narod ne bude opomenut, a mač došav pogubi koga između njih, taj će poginuti za svoje bezakonje, ali ću krv njegovu iskati iz ruke stražareve.

7 I tebe, sine čovečji, tebe postavih stražarem domu Izrailjevom; slušaj dakle reč iz mojih usta i opominji ih od mene.

8 Kad kažem bezbožniku: Bezbožniče, poginućeš; a ti ne progovoriš i ne opomeneš bezbožnika da se prođe puta svog; taj će bezbožnik poginuti za svoje bezakonje; ali ću krv njegovu iskati iz tvoje ruke.

9 Ako li ti opomeneš bezbožnika da se vrati sa svog puta, a on se ne vrati sa svog puta, on će poginuti za svoje bezakonje, a ti ćeš sačuvati dušu svoju.

10 Zato ti, sine čovečji, reci domu Izrailjevom: Vi govorite ovako i kažete: Prestupi naši i gresi naši na nama su, i s njih propadamo; kako bismo živeli?

11 Reci im: Tako bio ja živ, govori Gospod Gospod, nije mi milo da umre bezbožnik, nego da se vrati bezbožnik sa svog puta i bude živ; vratite se, vratite se sa zlih puteva svojih, jer zašto da mrete, dome Izrailjev?

12 Zato ti, sine čovečji, reci sinovima naroda svog: Pravednog neće izbaviti pravda njegova kad zgreši, i bezbožnik neće propasti sa bezbožnosti svoje kad se vrati od bezbožnosti svoje, kao što pravednik ne može s nje živeti kad zgreši.

13 Kad kažem pravedniku da će doista živeti, a on se pouzda u pravdu svoju pa učini nepravdu, od sve pravde njegove ništa se neće spomenuti, nego će poginuti s nepravde svoje koju učini.

14 A kad kažem bezbožniku: Doista ćeš poginuti, a on se obrati od greh svog i stane činiti sud i pravdu,

15 I vrati bezbožnik zalog, i vrati šta je oteo, i stane hoditi po uredbama životnim ne čineći bezakonja, doista će biti živ, neće umreti.

16 Od svih greha što je zgrešio ništa mu se neće spomenuti; činio je sud i pravdu, doista će živ biti.

17 A sinovi naroda tvog govore: Nije prav put Gospodnji; a njihov put nije prav.

18 Kad se pravednik odvrati od pravde svoje i učini nepravdu, poginuće s toga.

19 A kad se bezbožnik odvrati od svoje bezbožnosti i učini sud i pravdu, on će živ biti s toga.

20 A vi govorite: Nije prav put Gospodnji. Sudiću vam, dome Izrailjev, svakome po putevima njegovim.

21 A dvanaeste godine robovanja našeg, desetog meseca, petog dana dođe k meni jedan koji uteče iz Jerusalima, i reče: Uze se grad.

22 A ruka Gospodnja dođe nada me uveče pre nego dođe onaj što pobeže, i otvori mi usta dokle onaj dođe k meni ujutru; otvoriše mi se usta, te više ne ćutah.

23 I dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći:

24 Sine čovečji, koji žive u onim pustolinama u zemlji Izrailjevoj govore i kažu: Avram beše jedan, i nasledi ovu zemlju; a nas je mnogo; nama je data ova zemlja u nasledstvo.

25 Zato im reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Jedete s krvlju, i oči svoje podižete ka gadnim bogovima svojim, i krv prolivate, i hoćete da nasledite zemlju?

26 Opirete se na mač svoj, činite gadove, i skvrnite svaki ženu bližnjeg svog, i hoćete da nasledite zemlju?

27 Ovako im reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Tako ja živ bio, koji su u pustolinama, pašće od mača; i koji je u polju, zverima ću ga dati da ga izjedu; a koji su po gradovima i po pećinama, od pomora će pomreti.

28 Tako ću sasvim opusteti tu zemlju, i nestaće ponosa sile njene, i opusteće gore Izrailjeve da neće niko prolaziti.

29 I oni će poznati da sam ja Gospod kad zemlju sasvim opustim za sve gadove njihove što činiše.

30 A o tebi, sine čovečji, sinovi naroda tvog kazuju o tebi uza zidove i na vratima kućnim, i govore jedan drugom, svaki bratu svom, i vele: Hodite i čujte kakva reč dođe od Gospoda.

31 I dolaze k tebi kao kad se narod skuplja, i narod moj seda pred tobom, i sluša reči tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuje; u ustima su im ljupke, a srce njihovo ide za svojim lakomstvom.

32 I gle, ti si im kao ljupka pesma, kao čovek lepog glasa i koji dobro svira; slušaju reči tvoje, ali ih ne izvršuju.

33 Ali kad to dođe, a evo ide, onda će poznati da je bio prorok među njima.

85. It would be a waste of time to show from the Word that there are in the Word paired expressions like these that seem like repetitions of the same thing, because that would fill many pages. To banish doubt, though, I would like to cite some passages where judgment and justice occur together, then nation and people, and then joy and gladness.

The following are passages where judgment and justice are paired:

The city used to be full of [good] judgment; justice used to spend its nights there. (Isaiah 1:21)

Zion will be redeemed in justice, and those of her who are brought back, in judgment. (Isaiah 1:27)

Jehovah Sabaoth will be exalted in judgment, and God, the Holy One, will be hallowed in justice. (Isaiah 5:16)

He will sit upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it in judgment and in justice. (Isaiah 9:7)

Let Jehovah be exalted, because he dwells on high and has filled the earth with judgment and justice. (Isaiah 33:5)

Jehovah says, “Watch over judgment and perform justice, for my salvation is at hand so that my justice may be revealed.” (Isaiah 56:1)

As though they were a nation that did justice and had not abandoned the judgment of their God, they would ask for judgments of justice. (Isaiah 58:2)

Swear by the living Jehovah in judgment and in justice. (Jeremiah 4:2)

The one who glories should glory in this, that Jehovah is bringing about judgment and justice on the earth. (Jeremiah 9:24)

Do judgment and justice. Woe to those who build their house without justice and their upper chambers without judgment. Has not your father done judgment and justice? Then it will be well for him. (Jeremiah 22:3, 13, 15)

I will raise up for David a righteous branch who will rule as king and bring about judgment and justice on earth. (Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15)

If a man is righteous and has practiced judgment and justice... (Ezekiel 18:5)

If the ungodly turn back and practice judgment and justice, [their former deeds] will not be remembered against them. They have practiced judgment and justice; they will surely live. (Ezekiel 33:14, 16)

I will betroth myself to you forever in justice and judgment, and in mercy and compassion. (Hosea 2:19)

Let judgment flow down like water, and justice like a mighty torrent. (Amos 5:24)

You have turned judgment into gall and the fruit of justice into wormwood. (Amos 6:12)

Jehovah will plead my case and bring about a judgment for me. He will lead me into the light, and I will see his justice. (Micah 7:9)

Jehovah, your justice is like the mountains of God; your judgments are a great deep. (Psalms 36:6)

Jehovah will bring forth his justice like light and judgment like noonday. (Psalms 37:6)

Jehovah will judge his people with justice and his needy ones with judgment. (Psalms 72:2)

Justice and judgment are the foundation of your throne. (Psalms 89:14)

... when I will have learned the judgments of your justice. Seven times a day I praise you for the judgments of your justice. (Psalms 119:7, 164)

Gad enacts the justice of Jehovah and his judgment with Israel. (Deuteronomy 33:21)

The Spirit of Truth will convict the world concerning justice and judgment. (John 16:8, 10)

There are other such passages as well.

The reason judgment and justice are mentioned so often is that the Word says “judgment” in reference to what is true and “justice” in reference to what is good; so “doing judgment and justice” also means acting on the basis of what is true and on the basis of what is good.

The reason the Word says “judgment” in reference to what is true and “justice” in reference to what is good is that the Lord’s government in the spiritual kingdom is called “judgment, ” while the Lord’s government in the heavenly kingdom is called “justice” (see Heaven and Hell 214-215). Because the Word says “judgment” in reference to what is true, in some passages it speaks of truth and justice, as in Isaiah 11:5, Psalms 85:11, and elsewhere.
