Osija 2

Studie

   

1 Recite braći svojoj: Narode moj; i sestrama svojim: Pomilovana.

2 Prite se s materom svojom, prite se, jer mi nije žena, niti sam joj ja muž; neka odbaci kurvarstva svoja od lica svog, i preljube svoje od dojaka svojih,

3 Da je ne bih svukao golu i učinio je kakva je bila onaj dan kad se rodila, i da je ne bih postavio da bude kao pustinja i obratio je da bude kao zemlja sasušena, i umorio je žeđu.

4 I neću se smilovati na decu njenu, jer su kopilad.

5 Jer se mati njihova kurva, sramoti se roditeljka njihova; jer govori: Ići ću za milosnicima svojim koji mi daju hleb moj i vodu moju, vunu moju i lan moj, ulje moje i piće moje.

6 Zato evo ja ću joj zagraditi put trnjem i zazidaću zidom da ne nađe staza svojih.

7 I trčaće za svojim milosnicima, ali ih neće stignuti; i tražiće ih, ali ih neće naći; pa će reći: Idem da se vratim k prvom mužu svom, jer mi beše bolje onda nego sada.

8 Jer ona ne zna da sam joj ja davao žito i vino i ulje, i umnožavao joj srebro i zlato, od kog načiniše Vala.

9 Zato ću uzeti natrag žito svoje, kad bude vreme, i vino svoje, kad bude vreme, i uzeću vunu svoju i lan svoj, kojim bi pokrivala golotinju svoju.

10 I otkriću rugobu njenu pred milosnicima njenim, i niko je neće izbaviti iz moje ruke.

11 I ukinuću svaku radost njenu, svetkovine njene, mladine njene i subote njene i sve praznike njene.

12 I potrću čokote njene i smokve, za koje govori: Plata su mi, što mi dadoše milosnici moji; i obratiću ih u šumu da ih jede zverje poljsko.

13 I pohodiću na njoj dane valimske, u koje im je kadila i kitila se obocima i grivnama, i išla za svojim milosnicima, i mene zaboravila, govori Gospod.

14 Ali evo, ja ću je primamiti i odvešću je u pustinju, i govoriću s njom lepo.

15 I daću joj vinograde njene od tog mesta, i dolinu Ahor za vrata nadanju, i onde će pevati kao za mladosti svoje i kao kad je išla iz Misira.

16 I tada ćeš me, govori Gospod, zvati: Mužu moj; a nećeš me više zvati: Vale moj.

17 Jer ću ukloniti iz usta njenih imena Valova; i neće im se više pominjati imena.

18 I tada ću im učiniti zavet sa zverjem poljskim i sa pticama nebeskim i s bubinama zemaljskim; i polomiću luk i mač i rat da ih nestane u zemlji, i učiniću da leže bez straha.

19 I zaručiću te sebi doveka, zaručiću te sebi pravdom i sudom i milošću i milosrđem.

20 I zaručiću te sebi verom, i poznaćeš Gospoda.

21 I tada ću se odazvati, govori Gospod, odazvaću se nebesima, a ona će se odazvati zemlji.

22 A zemlja će se odazvati žitu i vinu i ulju, a to će se odazvati Jezraelu.

23 I posejaću je sebi na zemlji, i smilovaću se na Loruhamu, i reći ću Loamiji: Ti si moj narod, i on će reći: Bože moj!

583. IV. The process of regeneration is on the model of a person's conception, gestation in the womb, birth and upbringing.

The natural and spiritual events in a person's life, that is, what happens to his body and what to his spirit, are so ordered as permanently to correspond. The reason is that a person is by birth spiritual as regards his soul, and he is clothed with a natural form which is constituted by his material body. When therefore this is laid aside, his soul, clothed in his spiritual body, comes into the world where all things are spiritual, and there associates with people like him. Now the spiritual body has to be formed in the material one, a process accomplished by the inflow of truths and various kinds of good from the Lord through the spiritual world. These are inwardly received by the person in such things belonging to the natural world as are called civil and moral; so it is evident how the process of formation takes place. Because, as already said, there is a permanent correspondence between the natural and spiritual events in a person's life, it follows that this process must resemble his conception, gestation in the womb, birth and upbringing. That is why natural births in the Word mean spiritual births, that is, the birth of good and truth. For whatever stands in the literal or natural sense of the Word, enfolds and stands for something spiritual. I demonstrated fully in the chapter on the Sacred Scripture that every detail of the literal sense of the Word contains a spiritual sense.

[2] The natural births mentioned in the Word refer to spiritual births, as is evident from the following passages.

We have conceived, we have given birth, we have as it were brought forth [wind], we have not done what is sound, Isaiah 26:18.

At the presence of the Lord you give birth 1 , O earth, Psalms 114:7.

Has the earth given birth in one day? Shall I break and not bring to birth, and cause to give birth but close 2 up the womb? Isaiah 66:7-10. Sin gives birth and No shall be on the point of being breached, Ezekiel 30:16.

The pangs of childbirth shall come upon Ephraim. He is an unwise child, because at the right time he does not stand in the womb of sons, Hosea 13:12-13.

There are many other similar passages. Since natural births in the Word mean spiritual births, and these are the Lord's work, He is called He who forms and brings out of the womb. This is clear from these passages among others:

Jehovah your maker and who forms you from the womb, Isaiah 44:2.

He who brings me from the womb, Psalms 22:9.

I have been placed upon you from the womb, from my mother's inmost parts it was you who brought me forth, Psalms 71:6.

Pay attention to me, you who were carried by the belly, borne by the womb, Isaiah 46:3.

This is why the Lord is called 'Father' (as at Isaiah 9:6; 63:16, John 10:30; 14:8-9), and those who are in possession of good and truth from Him are called 'sons', 'born of God' and 'brothers' among themselves (Matthew 23:8-9). It is also why the church is called 'mother' (Hosea 2:2, 5; Ezekiel 16:45).

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Reading parturis for parturit, as elsewhere when this verse is quoted.

2. 'not close' in the Latin, but corrected in the author's copy.
