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.

Eat

  
"A Peasant Family at Lunch" by Albert Neuhuys

When we eat, our bodies break down the food and get from it both energy and materials for building and repairing the body. The process is similar on a symbolic level in the Bible. Food represents the desire for good and the insight that comes from that desire for good – goodness and understanding that come from the Lord. But to put them to use we have to take them in and make them our own – which is spiritual eating.

“...provided there is no deceit in his spirit.” (Psalms 32:2)

Jehovah has mingled a spirit of perversity in her midst. (Isaiah 19:14)

...said (He)...to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit.... (Ezekiel 13:3)

The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is insane. (Hosea 9:7)

Be observant by your spirit, and do not deal treacherously. (Malachi 2:16)

...the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray.... (Hosea 4:12)

...a spirit of harlotry is in their midst.... (Hosea 5:4)

When a spirit of jealousy comes upon him.... (Numbers 5:14)

...a man who is a wanderer in spirit, and he prattles falsehood.... (Micah 2:11)

...a generation...whose spirit was not steadfast with God. (Psalms 78:8)

...poured out on (them) a spirit of drowsiness.... (Isaiah 29:10)

Conceive chaff, bring forth stubble; as for your spirit, fire shall shall devour you. (Isaiah 33:11)

[6] 6. Hellish life:

I will...cause...the unclean spirit to depart from the land. (Zechariah 13:2)

When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places.... And then he...attaches to himself seven worse spirits than himself, and they enter and dwell there. (Matthew 12:43-45)

...Babylon...has become a dwelling place of...a foul spirit.... (Revelation 18:2)
