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.

627. 'For all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth 1 ' means that man's bodily-mindedness destroyed all understanding of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'flesh', dealt with already at verse 3, as in general the whole of mankind, and in particular the bodily-minded man, or everything of a bodily nature; and from the meaning of 'way' as the understanding of truth, or truth itself. The fact that 'way' has reference to the understanding of truth, or to truth itself, becomes clear from the examples already quoted in several places as well as from the following,

Jehovah said, Get up, go down quickly from here, for your people have corrupted themselves. They have suddenly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. They have cast for themselves a metal image. Deuteronomy 9:11, 16.

This means that they forsook His commandments, which are truths.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Whose eyes have been opened upon all the ways of the sons of man, giving to every man (vir) according to his ways and according to the fruit of his works. Jeremiah 32:19.

'Ways' means life according to the commandments, 'fruit of his works' life based on charity. 'Way' accordingly has reference to truths, which comprise commandments and ordinances, and so do 'son of man' and 'man' (vir), as shown above. Jeremiah 7:3; 17:10, also contain similar usages.

In Hosea,

I will visit upon him his ways, and require him for his works. Hosea 4:9.

In Zechariah,

Return from your evil ways and from your evil works. As Jehovah Zebaoth thought to deal with us for our ways and for our works. Zechariah 1:4, 6.

Similar phrases appear here, yet they are the contrary in meaning to those mentioned before them, since they are 'evil ways' and 'evil works'.

In Jeremiah,

I will give them one heart and one way. Jeremiah 32:39.

'Heart' stands for goods, 'way' for truths. In David,

Make me understand the way of Your commandments. Take from me the way of untruth, and graciously grant me Your law. I have chosen the way of truth. I will run in the way of Your precepts. Psalms 119:26-27, 29-30, 32, 35.

Here 'the way of the commandments and precepts' is called 'the way of truth', and the contrary of this, 'the way of untruth'.

[3] In the same author,

Make Your ways known to me, O Jehovah, teach me Your paths, guide my way in Your truth, and teach me. Psalms 25:4-5.

This in like manner plainly stands for the truth. In Isaiah,

With whom did Jehovah consult, and he instructed Him, and taught Him the path of judgement, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him know the way of understanding? Isaiah 40:14.

This plainly stands for an understanding of truth. In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, Stand upon the highways and look, and ask concerning the paths of old, which is the good way, and go in it. Jeremiah 6:16.

This in like manner stands for an understanding of truth. In Isaiah,

I will lead the blind in a way they do not know; and in paths they do not know I will guide them. Isaiah 42:16.

The expressions way, by-path, pathway, road, and street all have reference to truths because they lead to what is true, as also in Jeremiah,

They have caused them to stumble in their ways, in the pathways of old, going into by-paths and not the highway. Jeremiah 18:15.

Similarly in the Book of Judges,

In the days of Jael pathways ceased to be. And those who went along the paths kept to twisting pathways; the streets in Israel ceased to be. Judges 5:6-7.

6904. 'And now let us go, we beg you, a way of three days into the wilderness' means a life of truth in a state totally removed from falsities, even though it is led in a state of obscurity. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' as leading a life, dealt with in 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605; from the meaning of 'a way' as truth, dealt with in 627, 2333; from the meaning of 'three days' as a complete state, dealt with in 2788, 4495, so that when the expression is used in connection with being removed from falsities, it describes a state totally removed from them ('putting a journey of three days between' is a total setting apart, see 4010); and from the meaning of 'the wilderness' as that which is uninhabited and uncultivated, dealt with in 2708, 3900. Which in the spiritual sense is obscurity of faith. For the subject here is the establishment of the spiritual Church, which is meant by 'the children of Israel'; and those who belong to that Church are in comparative obscurity so far as the good and truth of faith are concerned, see 2708, 2715, 2716, 2718, 2831, 2849, 2975, 2937, 3141, 3246, 3837, 4402, 6289, 6500, 6865. A life of truth is the life that is led by those who belong to the spiritual Church; for when the truth that they know from the Word or from the teaching of the Church becomes a matter of life it is called good, yet it is truth expressed in action.
