Lamentaciones 2

1 COMO oscureció el Señor en su furor a la hija de Sión! Derribó del cielo á la tierra la hermosura de Israel, Y no se acordó del estrado de sus pies en el día de su ira.

2 Destruyó el Señor, y no perdonó; Destruyó en su furor todas las tiendas de Jacob: Echó por tierra las fortalezas de la hija de Judá, Deslustró el reino y sus príncipes.

3 Cortó con el furor de su ira todo el cuerno de Israel; Hizo volver atrás su diestra delante del enemigo; Y encendióse en Jacob como llama de fuego que ha devorado en contorno.

4 Entesó su arco como enemigo, afirmó su mano derecha como adversario, Y mató toda cosa hermosa á la vista: En la tienda de la hija de Sión derramó como fuego su enojo.

5 Fué el Señor como enemigo, destruyó a Israel; Destruyó todos sus palacios, disipó sus fortalezas: Y multiplicó en la hija de Judá la tristeza y lamento.

6 Y quitó su tienda como de un huerto, Destruyó el lugar de su congregación: Jehová ha hecho olvidar en Sión solemnidades y sábados, Y ha desechado en el furor de su ira rey y sacerdote.

7 Desechó el Señor su altar, menospreció su santuario, Ha entregado en mano del enemigo los muros de sus palacios: Dieron grita en la casa de Jehová como en día de fiesta.

8 Jehová determinó destruir el muro de la hija de Sión; Extendió el cordel, no retrajo su mano de destruir: Hizo pues, se lamentara el antemuro y el muro; fueron destruídos juntamente.

9 Sus puertas fueron echadas por tierra, destruyó y quebrantó sus cerrojos: Su rey y sus príncipes están entre las gentes donde no hay ley; Sus profetas tampoco hallaron visión de Jehová.

10 Sentáronse en tierra, callaron los ancianos de la hija de Sión; Echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas, ciñéronse de saco; Las vírgenes de Jerusalem bajaron sus cabezas a tierra.

11 Mis ojos desfallecieron de lágrimas, rugieron mis entrañas, Mi hígado se derramó por tierra por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo, Cuando desfallecía el niño y el que mamaba, en las plazas de la ciudad.

12 Decían a sus madres: ¿Dónde está el trigo y el vino? Desfallecían como heridos en las calles de la ciudad, Derramando sus almas en el regazo de sus madres.

13 ¿Qué testigo te traeré, ó á quién te haré semejante, hija de Jerusalem? ¿A quién te compararé para consolarte, oh virgen hija de Sión? Porque grande es tu quebrantamiento como la mar: ¿quién te medicinará?

14 Tus profetas vieron para ti vanidad y locura; Y no descubrieron tu pecado para estorbar tu cautiverio, Sino que te predicaron vanas profecías y extravíos.

15 Todos los que pasaban por el camino, batieron las manos sobre ti; Silbaron, y movieron sus cabezas sobre la hija de Jerusalem, diciendo: ¿Es ésta la ciudad que decían de perfecta hermosura, el gozo de toda la tierra?

16 Todos tus enemigos abrieron sobre ti su boca, Silbaron, y rechinaron los dientes; dijeron: Devoremos: Cierto éste es el día que esperábamos; lo hemos hallado, vímoslo.

17 Jehová ha hecho lo que tenía determinado, Ha cumplido su palabra que él había mandado desde tiempo antiguo: Destruyó, y no perdonó; Y alegró sobre ti al enemigo, Y enalteció el cuerno de tus adversarios.

18 El corazón de ellos clamaba al Señor: Oh muro de la hija de Sión, echa lágrimas como un arroyo día y noche; No descanses, ni cesen las niñas de tus ojos.

19 Levántate, da voces en la noche, en el principio de las velas; Derrama como agua tu corazón ante la presencia del Señor; Alza tus manos á él por la vida de tus pequeñitos, Que desfallecen de hambre en las entradas de todas las calles.

20 Mira, oh Jehová, y considera á quién has hecho así. ¿Han de comer las mujeres su fruto, los pequeñitos de sus crías? ¿Han de ser muertos en el santuario del Señor el sacerdote y el profeta?

21 Niños y viejos yacían por tierra en las calles; Mis vírgenes y mis mancebos cayeron a cuchillo: Mataste en el día de tu furor, degollaste, no perdonaste.

22 Has llamado, como a día de solemnidad, mis temores de todas partes; Y en el día del furor de Jehová no hubo quien escapase ni quedase vivo: Los que crié y mantuve, mi enemigo los acabó

10122. 'And a young bull of sin [offering] you shall offer daily at propitiations' means the continuous removal of evils and consequently of falsities in the natural man by means of the good of innocence from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'a young bull' as the good of innocence in the natural man, dealt with in 9391, 9990; from the meaning of 'sin' as purification from evils and consequently falsities (by 'sin' a sacrifice for sin should be understood, 10039, and 'a sin sacrifice' means purification from evils and falsities, 9938, 9990, 10022, 10053), the reason for saying 'the removal' of evils and consequently of falsities being that the evils and falsities with a person are not cast out, only removed or moved back, see the places referred to in 10057; from the meaning of 'daily' or each day as continuously; and from the meaning of 'propitiations' as reception of the good of love and truth of faith from the Lord after the removal of evils and consequently of falsities, dealt with in 9506.

[2] The words 'removal of evils and consequently of falsities' are used because all falsities exist as a result of evil; therefore to the extent that evil is removed falsities are removed. The situation is that all things in heaven have connection with good and consequently with truth, and all things in hell with evil and consequently with falsity. The same is so in people. All the things with a person that come from heaven have connection with good and truth, and all those that come from hell have connection with evil and falsity. Or what amounts to the same thing, all things with a person which originate in the Lord have connection with good and truth, but all that originate in the person himself have connection with evil and falsity. Since good and truth or falsity and evil are what everything throughout creation has connection with, and the human being is the place where they are received, a person has two mental powers to receive them. One is called the will and the other the understanding, the will being what receives good or evil, and the understanding what receives truth or falsity. The will formed by the Lord, also called the new will, receives good, while the understanding formed by the Lord, also called the new understanding, receives truth. But the will properly a person's own, also called the old will, receives evil, and the understanding properly a person's own, also called the old understanding, receives falsity. A person possesses the old will and understanding through being born from his parents, but he comes to have the new will and understanding through being born from the Lord, which happens when he is being regenerated. For when being regenerated a person is conceived anew and is born anew.

[3] The human being has been created in such a way that will and understanding may make one, so that these two together may constitute a whole person. For a person has been given an understanding to comprehend truth, yet to the end that truth may be implanted in his will and become good. And to the extent that it is integrated into the will it has a place in that person; for the will is the inmost part of a person and is the inner being of his life, whereas the understanding is more external and derives its being from the will. For what a person wills he loves, and what he loves gives him a feeling of delight and is therefore called good by him. The understanding lends support to and strengthens it by means of reasons which it calls truths. So it is that will and understanding in reality make one. The situation may indeed seem to be other than this, as when a person understands the truth and yet wills what is evil; even so, when he is left alone to think for himself, what he understands is in full agreement with what he wills, that is, what he loves.

[4] The fact that a person who wills what is evil can nevertheless speak what is true and also do what is good is due to hypocrisy, which uses truth and good as means to its own ends. If those means are taken away from such a person and he is left in freedom, he plunges, under the influence of his unrestrained will, into evils, and uses his power of understanding to defend them. This is above all evident from the same kind of people in the next life. There everyone comes into a state [of life] akin to that of his will, and then people in whom a new will has not been formed by the Lord plunge into evils of every kind and think such things as endorse evils, even though what they had spoken and what they had done in the world had been completely different from this. For it is a law of Divine order that will and understanding should form a mind at unity, thus a person at unity, consequently that the entire person should be either in heaven or in hell and not hanging between the two, that is, with his eye looking towards the things of heaven and his heart set on those of hell. By heart is meant the will, and by eye the understanding.

31 Porque voz oí como de mujer que está de parto, angustia como de primeriza; voz de la hija de Sión que lamenta y extiende sus manos, diciendo: ­Ay ahora de mí! que mi alma desmaya á causa de los matadores.
