Osija 13

Studie

   

1 Kad Jefrem govoraše, beše strah; beše se uzvisio u Izrailju; ali se ogreši o Vala, te umre.

2 I sada jednako greše i grade sebi lijući od srebra svog po razumu svom likove, koji su svi delo umetničko, a oni govore za njih: Ljudi koji prinose žrtve neka celuju teoce.

3 Zato će biti kao oblak jutarnji i kao rosa koja u zoru padne, pa je nestane, kao pleva, koju odnosi vetar s gumna, i kao dim iz dimnjaka.

4 A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje misirske, i Boga osim mene nisi poznao, i osim mene nema ko bi spasao.

5 Ja te poznah u pustinji, u zemlji zasušenoj.

6 Imajući dobru pašu behu siti; ali čim se nasitiše, ponese se srce njihovo, zato me zaboraviše.

7 Zato ću im biti kao lav, kao ris vrebaću ih na putu.

8 Srešću ih kao medvedica kojoj uzmu medvediće, i rastrgaću im sve srce njihovo i izješću ih onde kao lav; zverje poljsko raskinuće ih.

9 Propao si, Izrailju; ali ti je pomoću meni.

10 Gde ti je car? Gde je? Neka te sačuva u svim gradovima tvojim; gde li su sudije tvoje, za koje si govorio: Daj mi cara i knezove?

11 Dadoh ti cara u gnevu svom, i uzeh ga u jarosti svojoj.

12 Svezano je bezakonje Jefremovo, ostavljen je greh njegov.

13 Bolovi kao u porodilje spopašće ga, sin je nerazuman, jer ne bi toliko vremena ostao u utrobi.

14 Od groba ću ih izbaviti, od smrti ću ih sačuvati; gde je, smrti, pomor tvoj, gde je, grobe, pogibao tvoja? Kajanje će biti sakriveno od očiju mojih.

15 Rodan će biti među braćom svojom; ali će doći istočni vetar, vetar Gospodnji, koji ide od pustinje, i usahnuće mu izvor, i studenac će mu zasušiti; on će odneti blago od svih dragih zaklada.

16 Samarija će opusteti, jer se odmetnu od Boga svog; oni će pasti od mača, deca će se njihova razmrskati i trudne žene njihove rasporiti.

Scriptural Confirmations # 17

17. 15. (The voice of one that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God: for the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together (Isaiah 40:3-5).)

(O Zion that tellest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem that tellest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength, say, Behold your God! Behold the Lord Jehovih cometh with strength, and His arm shall rule for Him: behold, His reward is with Him and the recompense of His work before Him. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs into His arm, and carry them in His bosom, He shall gently lead those that give suck (Isaiah 40:9-11).)

To whom will ye liken Me ? to whom am I equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number; He calleth them all by name (Isaiah 40:25-26).

Who hath raised up one from the east whom He calleth in justice to his following? He gave the nations before Him, and made Him to rule over kings (Isaiah 41:2).

I, Jehovah, the First, and with the last; I am the same (Isaiah 41:4).

Behold My servant, on whom I recline, Mine elect in whom My soul is well pleased; I have put My spirit upon Him: He shall bring forth judgment to the nations. A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench: He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not quench nor break till He have set judgment in the earth (Isaiah 42:1-4).

I, Jehovah, have called Thee in justice, and I will give Thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations; to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoner from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am Jehovah: that is My name, and My glory I will not give to another. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I cause you to hear them (Isaiah 42:6-9).

Is there a God beside Me? I know no Rock (Isaiah 44:8). (Thus said Jehovah thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb; I am Jehovah that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself (Isaiah 44:24).)
