Osija 4

Studie

   

1 Čujte reč Gospodnju, sinovi Izrailjevi, jer Gospod ima parbu sa stanovnicima zemaljskim; jer nema istine ni milosti ni znanja za Boga u zemlji;

2 Zaklinju se krivo i lažu i ubijaju i kradu i čine preljubu, zastraniše, i jedna krv stiže drugu.

3 Zato će tužiti zemlja, i šta god živi na njoj prenemoći će, i zveri poljske i ptice nebeske; i ribe će morske pomreti.

4 Ali niko da se ne prepire ni da koga kori, jer je narod tvoj kao oni koji se prepiru sa sveštenikom.

5 Zato ćeš pasti danju, i s tobom će prorok pasti noću, i pogubiću mater tvoju.

6 Izgibe moj narod, jer je bez znanja; kad si ti odbacio znanje, i ja ću tebe odbaciti da mi ne vršiš službe svešteničke; kad si zaboravio Boga svog, i ja ću zaboraviti sinove tvoje.

7 Što se više množiše, to mi više grešiše; slavu njihovu pretvoriću u sramotu.

8 Od greha naroda mog hrane se, i lakome se na bezakonje njihovo.

9 Zato će biti svešteniku kao narodu; pohodiću ga za puteve njegove i platiću mu za dela njegova.

10 I oni će jesti, a neće se nasititi; kurvaće se, a neće se množiti; jer prestaše služiti Gospodu.

11 Kurvarstvo i vino i mast oduzima srce.

12 Narod moj pita drvo svoje, i palica mu njegova odgovara; jer duh kurvarski zavodi ih da se kurvaju odstupivši od Boga svog.

13 Navrh gora prinose žrtve, i na humovima kade pod hrastovima, topolama i brestovima, jer im je sen dobar; zato se kurvaju kćeri vaše i snahe vaše čine preljubu.

14 Neću karati kćeri vaših kad se kurvaju, ni snaha vaših kad čine preljubu; jer se oni odvajaju s kurvama i prinose žrtve s nevaljalim ženama; i narod nerazumni propašće.

15 Ako se ti kurvaš, Izrailju, neka ne greši Juda; i ne idite u Galgal niti idite u Vet-aven, i ne kunite se: Tako da je živ Gospod.

16 Jer je Izrailj uporan kao uporna junica; sada će ih pasti Gospod kao jagnje na prostranom mestu.

17 Jefrem se udružio s lažnim bogovima; ostavi ga.

18 Piće se njihovo prevrnu, jednako se kurvaju; milo im je: dajte. Braniči su njegovi sramota.

19 Vetar će ih stegnuti krilima svojim, i oni će se posramiti od žrtava svojih.

Isaija 24:2

Studie

       

2 I biće sveštenik kao narod, gospodar kao sluga, gospođa kao sluškinja, prodavac kao kupac, koji daje u zajam kao koji uzima u zajam, koji uzima dobit kao koji daje.

6180. 'And show me mercy and truth' means humility. This is clear from the meaning of 'showing mercy' as the good of love, and from the meaning of 'showing truth' as the truth of faith, both of which meanings are dealt with below. When these words are spoken they are words of entreaty, thus of humility. The reason why 'showing mercy' means the good of love is that all mercy is an expression of love, for one who has love or charity also has mercy; and his love and charity become mercy when his neighbour is poor or in misery and he comes to that neighbour's aid while he is in that condition. This is why 'mercy' means the good of love. 'Showing truth' means the truth of faith for the reason that all truth is the province of faith, which explains why in the original language the word for truth also means faith.

[2] Since the good of love and the truth of faith exist completely joined together and one does not exist without the other, 'mercy and truth' was a phrase in common use among the ancients, for they knew well that the good of love was inseparable from the truth of faith. Since they are inseparable the two are mentioned jointly many times in the Word, as in Exodus,

Jehovah great in mercy and truth. Exodus 34:6.

In the second Book of Samuel,

David said to the men of Jabesh, May Jehovah show you mercy and truth. 2 Samuel 2:5-6.

In the same book,

David said to Ittai the Gittite, Return and take your brethren back with you with mercy and truth. 2 Samuel 15:20.

In Hosea,

Jehovah's controversy with the inhabitants of the land because there is no truth and no mercy, and no knowledge of God 1 in the land. Hosea 4:1.

In David,

All the ways of Jehovah are mercy and truth to those keeping His covenant. Psalms 25:10.

In the same author,

O Jehovah, You will not hold back from me Your mercies; let Your mercy and Your truth continually keep me safe. Psalms 40:11.

In the same author,

I will sing the eternal mercies of Jehovah, to generation after generation [I will make known] Your truth with my mouth. For I have said, For ever will mercy be built, in the very heavens You will make firm Your truth. Righteousness and judgement are the support of Your throne, mercy and truth stand before Your face. Psalms 89:1-2, 14.

Also other places in David besides these - Psalms 26:3; 76:5; 57:3, 10; 61:7; 85:10; 86:15; 89:24, 33; 92:2.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Latin means Jehovah but the Hebrew means God, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.
