Sudije 5

Studie

   

1 I u taj dan peva Devora i Varak sin Avinejemov govoreći:

2 Blagosiljajte Gospoda što učini osvetu u Izrailju i što narod dragovoljno prista.

3 Čujte carevi, slušajte knezovi; ja, ja ću Gospodu pevati, popevaću Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevom.

4 Gospode! Kad si silazio sa Sira, kad si išao iz polja edomskog, zemlja se tresaše, i nebesa kapahu, oblaci kapahu vodom.

5 Brda se rastapahu pred Gospodom; taj Sinaj pred Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevim.

6 Za vremena Samegara sina Anatovog, za vremena Jailjinog nesta puteva, i koji iđahu stazama, iđahu krivim putevima.

7 Nesta sela u Izrailju, nesta ih, dokle ne nastah ja, Devora, dokle ne nastah majka Izrailju.

8 On izabra nove bogove, tada rat beše na vratima; viđaše li se štit ili koplje među četrdeset hiljada u Izrailju?

9 Srce se moje privilo k upraviteljima Izrailjevim, koji dragovoljno pristaše između naroda. Blagosiljajte Gospoda.

10 Koji jašete na belim magaricama, koji sedite u sudu i koji hodite po putevima, pripovedajte.

11 Prestala je praska streljačka na mestima gde se voda crpe; onde neka pripovedaju pravdu Gospodnju, pravdu k selima njegovim u Izrailju; tada će narod Gospodnji silaziti na vrata.

12 Ustani, ustani, Devoro; ustani, ustani, zapevaj pesmu; ustani, Varače, vodi u ropstvo roblje svoje, sine Avinejemov.

13 Sada će potlačeni ovladati silnima iz naroda; Gospod mi dade da vladam silnima.

14 Iz Jefrema iziđe koren njihov na Amalike; za tobom beše Venijamin s narodom tvojim; od Mahira iziđoše koji postavljaju zakone, a od Zavulona pisari.

15 I knezovi Isaharovi biše s Devorom, Isahar kao i Varak bi poslan u dolinu s ljudima koje vođaše. U delu Ruvimovom behu ljudi visokih misli.

16 Što si sedeo među torovima slušajući kako bleje stada? U delu Ruvimovom behu ljudi visokih misli.

17 Galad osta s one strane Jordana; a Dan što se zabavi kod lađa; Asir zašto sede na bregu morskom i u krševima svojim osta?

18 Zavulon je narod koji dade dušu svoju na smrt, tako i Neftalim, na visokom polju.

19 Dođoše carevi, biše se; biše se carevi hananski u Tanahu na vodi megidskoj; ali ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.

20 S neba se vojeva, zvezde s mesta svojih vojevaše na Sisaru.

21 Potok Kison odnese ih, Potok Kadimin, Potok Kison; pogazila si, dušo moja, snažno.

22 Tada izotpadaše konjima kopita od teranja junaka njihovih.

23 Proklinjite Miroz, reče anđeo Gospodnji, proklinjite stanovnike njegove; jer ne dođoše u pomoćGospodu, u pomoćGospodu s junacima.

24 Da je blagoslovena mimo žene Jailja žena Evera Kenejina; mimo žene u šatorima da je blagoslovena.

25 Zaiska vode, mleka mu dade, u gospodskoj zdeli donese mu pavlaku.

26 Levom rukom maši se za kolac a desnom za malj kovački, i udari Sisaru, razmrska mu glavu; probode i probi mu slepe oči.

27 Među noge njene savi se, pade, leže, među noge njene savi se, pade gde se savi, onde pade mrtav.

28 S prozora gledaše majka Sisarina, i kroz rešetku vikaše: Što se tako dugo ne vraćaju kola njegova? Što se tako polako miču točkovi kola njegovih?

29 Najmudrije između dvorkinja njenih odgovarahu joj, a i sama odgovaraše sebi:

30 Nisu li našli? Ne dele li plen? Po jednu devojku, po dve devojke na svakog. Plen šaren Sisari, plen šaren, vezen; šaren, vezen s obe strane, oko vrata onima koji zapeniše.

31 Tako da izginu svi neprijatelji Tvoji, Gospode; a koji te ljube da budu kao sunce kad izlazi u sili svojoj. I zemlja bi mirna četrdeset godina.

1755. That 'these will take their share' means that these things were placed under their power and control is clear from what has been stated above at verses 21-23, to the effect that the Lord was unwilling to have anything that derived from them, since the Lord derived no strength whatever from that source. By 'they were placed under the power and control of the angels' the following is meant, that it is the angels who actually rule over evil and hellish spirits, as has been clear to me from much experience. The Lord however foresees and sees all things and every individual thing; and He provides and arranges the same, though some things arise from His permission, some from His concession, some from His consent, some from His good pleasure, and some from His will. The desire to control others is something altogether man's own, quite different from anything angels receive from the Lord. Angels' entire exercise of control is grounded in love and mercy, devoid of any desire to dominate. But as these are rather deep arcana they cannot be presented intelligibly in a few words. It is enough if one knows that evil and hellish spirits were placed under the power and control of the angels, and that the Lord governs all things, and every single thing, down to the last detail. These matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed later on where Providence and Permissions are dealt with.

Numbers 23

Studie

   

1 Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams."

2 Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.

3 Balaam said to Balak, "Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you." He went to a bare height.

4 God met Balaam: and he said to him, "I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar."

5 Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."

6 He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.

7 He took up his parable, and said, "From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.

8 How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom Yahweh has not defied?

9 For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!"

11 Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have blessed them altogether."

12 He answered and said, "Must I not take heed to speak that which Yahweh puts in my mouth?"

13 Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place, where you may see them; you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me them from there."

14 He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

15 He said to Balak, "Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet [Yahweh] yonder."

16 Yahweh met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and say this."

17 He came to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. Balak said to him, "What has Yahweh spoken?"

18 He took up his parable, and said, "Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, you son of Zippor.

19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

20 Behold, I have received a command to bless. He has blessed, and I can't reverse it.

21 He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Yahweh his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.

22 God brings them out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.

23 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done!

24 Behold, the people rises up as a lioness, As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain."

25 Balak said to Balaam, "Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all."

26 But Balaam answered Balak, "Didn't I tell you, saying, 'All that Yahweh speaks, that I must do?'"

27 Balak said to Balaam, "Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse me them from there."

28 Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.

29 Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams."

30 Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
