Osija 14

Studie

   

1 Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svom, jer si pao svog radi bezakonja.

2 Uzmite sa sobom reči, i obratite se ka Gospodu; recite Mu: Oprosti sve bezakonje, i primi dobro; i daćemo žrtve usana svojih.

3 Asirac nas ne može izbaviti, nećemo jahati na konjima, niti ćemo više govoriti delu ruku svojih: Bože naš; jer u Tebe nalazi milost sirota.

4 Isceliću otpad njihov, ljubiću ih drage volje; jer će se gnev moj odvratiti od njega.

5 Biću kao rosa Izrailju, procvetaće kao ljiljan i pustiće žile svoje kao drveta livanska.

6 Raširiće se grane njegove, i lepota će mu biti kao u masline i miris kao livanski.

7 Oni će se vratiti i sedeti pod senom njegovim, rađaće kao žito i cvetaće kao vinova loza; spomen će mu biti kao vino livansko.

8 Jefreme, šta će mi više idoli? Ja ću ga uslišiti i gledati; ja ću mu biti kao jela zelena; od mene je tvoj plod.

9 Ko je mudar, neka razume ovo; i razuman neka pozna ovo; jer su pravi putevi Gospodnji, i pravednici će hoditi po njima, a prestupnici će pasti na njima.

1948. Verse 12 And he will be a wild-ass man; his hand will be against all, and the hand of all against him; and he will dwell in opposition to 1 all his brothers.

'He will be a wild-ass man' means rational truth, which is described. 'His hand will be against all' means that it will fight against those things that are not true. 'And the hand of all against him' means that falsities will fight back. 'And he will dwell in opposition to 1 all his brothers' means incessant strife against things of faith, but rational truth will nevertheless be the conqueror.

Heart

  
by Caleb Kerr

The heart means love. A good heart means love to the Lord and to the neighbor, while a hard or stony heart means the love of self or the world -- riches and things. When the psalmist asks the Lord to search his heart, he wants the Lord to see what it is that he loves. And we are what we love. What we eat may form our earthly body, but it's only temporary, what we love forms our spiritual body, beautiful or ugly as we have chosen. It's interesting to note that the first multi-cellular motion of our embryo is the pulsating that starts in a twist of blood vessel that is to become our heart, and the last motion of our natural body is our heartbeat. It is there for all of our natural life. And of course there is a beating heart in our spiritual bodies when we come to put them on.
