Jeremías 48

1 De Moab. Así dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: ¡Ay de Nebo! Que fue destruida, fue avergonzada; Quiriataim fue tomada; fue confusa Misgab, y desmayó.

2 No se alabará ya más Moab; contra Hesbón maquinaron mal, diciendo : Venid, y quitémosla de entre las naciones. También tú, Madmena, serás cortada, espada irá tras ti.

3 ¡Voz de clamor de Horonaim, destrucción y gran quebrantamiento!

4 Moab fue quebrantada; hicieron que se oyese el clamor de sus pequeños.

5 Porque a la subida de Luhit con lloro subirá el que llora; porque a la bajada de Horonaim los enemigos oyeron clamor de quebranto.

6 Huid, salvad vuestra vida, y sed como retama en el desierto.

7 Pues por cuanto confiaste en tus haciendas, en tus tesoros, tú también serás tomada; y Quemos saldrá en cautiverio, sus sacerdotes y sus príncipes juntamente.

8 Y vendrá destruidor a cada una de las ciudades, y ninguna ciudad escapará; se arruinará también el valle, y será destruida la campiña, como dijo el SEÑOR.

9 Dad alas a Moab, para que volando se vaya; pues serán desiertas sus ciudades hasta no quedar en ellas morador.

10 Maldito el que hiciere engañosamente la obra del SEÑOR, y maldito el que detuviere su cuchillo de la sangre.

11 Quieto estuvo Moab desde su juventud, y sobre sus heces ha estado él reposado, y no fue vaciado de vaso en vaso, ni nunca fue en cautiverio; por tanto, quedó su sabor en él, y su olor no se ha cambiado.

12 Por eso, he aquí que vienen días, dijo el SEÑOR, en que yo le enviaré transportadores que lo harán transportar; y vaciarán sus vasos, y romperán sus odres.

13 Y se avergonzará Moab de Quemos, a la manera que la Casa de Israel se avergonzó de Betel, su confianza.

14 ¿Cómo diréis: Somos valientes, y robustos hombres para la guerra?

15 Destruido fue Moab, y sus ciudades asoló, y sus jóvenes escogidos descendieron al degolladero, dijo el Rey, el SEÑOR de los ejércitos es su Nombre.

16 Cercano está el quebrantamiento de Moab para venir, y su mal se apresura mucho.

17 Compadeceos de él todos los que estáis alrededor suyo; y todos los que sabéis su nombre, decid: ¿Cómo se quebró la vara de fortaleza, el báculo de hermosura?

18 Desciende de la gloria, siéntate en seco, moradora hija de Dibón; porque el destruidor de Moab subió contra ti, disipó tus fortalezas.

19 Párate en el camino, y mira, oh moradora de Aroer; pregunta a la que va huyendo, y a la que escapó; dile: ¿Qué ha acontecido?

20 Se avergonzó Moab, porque fue quebrantado; aullad y clamad; denunciad en Arnón que Moab es destruido.

21 Y que vino juicio sobre la tierra de la campiña; sobre Holón, sobre Jahaza, y sobre Mefaat,

22 y sobre Dibón, y sobre Nebo, y sobre Bet-diblataim,

23 y sobre Quiriataim, y sobre Bet-gamul, y sobre Bet-meon,

24 y sobre Queriot, y sobre Bosra, y sobre todas las ciudades de tierra de Moab, las de lejos y las de cerca.

25 Cortado es el cuerno de Moab, y su brazo quebrantado, dijo el SEÑOR.

26 Embriagadlo, porque contra el SEÑOR se engrandeció; y revuélquese Moab sobre su vómito, y sea también él por escarnio.

27 ¿Y no te fue a ti Israel por escarnio, como si lo tomaran entre ladrones? Porque desde que de él hablaste, tú te has movido.

28 Desamparad las ciudades, y habitad en peñascos, oh moradores de Moab; y sed como la paloma que hace nido detrás de la boca de la caverna.

29 Hemos oído la soberbia de Moab, que es muy soberbio, su hinchazón y su orgullo, y su altivez y la altanería de su corazón.

30 Yo conozco, dice el SEÑOR, su cólera; mas no tendrá efecto; sus mentiras no han de aprovecharle.

31 Por tanto, yo aullaré sobre Moab; y sobre todo Moab haré clamor, y sobre los varones de Kir-hares gemiré.

32 Con lloro de Jazer lloraré por ti, oh vid de Sibma; tus sarmientos pasaron el mar, llegaron hasta el mar de Jazer; sobre tu agosto y sobre tu vendimia vino destruidor.

33 Y será cortada la alegría y el regocijo de los campos labrados, y de la tierra de Moab; y haré cesar el vino de los lagares; no pisarán con canción; la canción no será canción.

34 El clamor, desde Hesbón hasta Eleale; hasta Jahaza dieron su voz; desde Zoar hasta Horonaim, becerra de tres años: porque también las aguas de Nimrim serán destruidas.

35 Y haré cesar de Moab, dice el SEÑOR, quien sacrifique en altar, y quien ofrezca sahumerio a sus dioses.

36 Por tanto, mi corazón resonará como flautas por causa de Moab, asimismo resonará mi corazón a modo de flautas por los hombres de Kir-hares; porque las riquezas que hizo perecieron.

37 Porque en toda cabeza habrá calvicie, y toda barba será raída; sobre todas las manos rasguños, y cilicio sobre todos los lomos.

38 Sobre todas las techumbres de Moab y en sus plazas, todo él será llanto; porque yo quebranté a Moab como a vaso que no agrada, dijo el SEÑOR.

39 Aullad: ¡Cómo ha sido quebrantado! ¡Cómo volvió la cerviz Moab, y fue avergonzado! Y fue Moab en escarnio y en espanto a todos los que están en sus alrededores.

40 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR: He aquí que como águila volará, y extenderá sus alas a Moab.

41 Tomadas son las ciudades, y tomadas son las fortalezas; y será aquel día el corazón de los valientes de Moab como el corazón de mujer en angustias.

42 Y Moab será destruido para dejar de ser pueblo: porque se engrandeció contra el SEÑOR.

43 Miedo y hoyo y lazo sobre ti, oh morador de Moab, dijo el SEÑOR.

44 El que huyere del miedo, caerá en el hoyo; y el que saliere del hoyo, será preso del lazo; porque yo traeré sobre él, sobre Moab, el año de su visitación, dijo el SEÑOR.

45 A la sombra de Hesbón se pararon los que huían de la fuerza; porque salió fuego de Hesbón, y llama de en medio de Sehón, y quemó el rincón de Moab, y la mollera de los hijos revoltosos.

46 ¡Ay de ti, Moab! Pereció el pueblo de Quemos; porque tus hijos fueron presos para cautividad, y tus hijas para cautiverio.

47 Pero haré tornar el cautiverio de Moab en lo postrero de los tiempos, dijo el SEÑOR. Hasta aquí es el juicio de Moab.

9494. 'And put them on [its] four corners' means firmness. This is clear from the meaning of 'corners' as strength and firmness, the reason why this is meant by 'corners' being that the greatest resistance [to pressure] resides there, and also the whole is bonded together there. Because 'corner' means strength and firmness such as Divine Truth derived from Divine Good possesses, the Lord is called 'the corner-stone': In David,

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. Psalms 118:22; Matthew 21:42.

And in Zechariah,

From Judah will be the corner-stone, from him the tent-peg, and from him the battle-bow. Zechariah 10:4.

Also in Isaiah,

The Lord Jehovih will lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tested stone, a precious corner-stone, surely founded. Isaiah 28:16.

In these places 'corner' in like manner stands for the firmness of teachings which consist of truth that is derived from good.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Nor are they to take from you a stone for a corner, or a stone for foundations. Jeremiah 51:26.

Because firmness is meant by 'corners' horns were placed on the four corners of the altar, regarding which the following is stated in Moses,

You shall make the horns of the altar on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. 1 Exodus 27:2.

'The horns' are the power of truth derived from good, thus its strength and firmness, see 2832, 9081.

[3] 'The corners' again means strength and power in Jeremiah,

Fire has gone out of Heshbon, which has devoured the corners of Moab. Jeremiah 48:45.

And in Moses,

A star will arise out of Jacob, and a sceptre rise up out of Israel, which will crush the corners of Moab. Numbers 24:17.

'Moab', whose power was going to be destroyed, stands for those who adulterate the Church's forms of good, 2468, their 'corners' standing for the power of falsity that results from the adulterated forms of good. Since power and strength are meant by 'the corners' those who lack the power of truth derived from good are called the cut off of the corner, 2 Jeremiah 9:26; 25:23. What the meaning is when 'corners' refers to the four quarters or winds, see below in 9642.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, shall be from (or out of) it

2. This expression is generally thought to mean men whose hair is cut in a particular way. Another understanding of it is those in a remote corner of the desert or on the edge of civilization.

Jeremiah 48

Studie

   

1 Of Moab. Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is disappointed, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and broken down.

2 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.

3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!

4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

5 For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

8 The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Yahweh has spoken.

9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.

10 Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11 Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.

12 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.

13 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

14 How do you say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?

15 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.

16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.

17 All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!

18 You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.

19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, What has been done?

20 Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

21 Judgment is come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,

23 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,

24 and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Yahweh.

26 Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against Yahweh: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27 For wasn't Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

30 I know his wrath, says Yahweh, that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.

31 Therefore will I wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir Heres shall they mourn.

32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.

33 Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.

35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says Yahweh, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.

36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.

37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.

38 On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights, says Yahweh.

39 How is it broken down! [how] do they wail! how has Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.

40 For thus says Yahweh: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

42 Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Yahweh.

43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says Yahweh.

44 He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation, says Yahweh.

45 Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

46 Woe to you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.

47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says Yahweh. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
