Jeremías 48

Studie

   

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 49

Studie

   

1 Of the children of Ammon. Thus says Yahweh: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?

2 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who did possess him, says Yahweh.

3 Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

4 Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come to me?

5 Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

6 But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says Yahweh.

7 Of Edom. Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.

9 If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, wouldn't they destroy until they had enough?

10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.

11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.

12 For thus says Yahweh: Behold, they to whom it didn't pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.

13 For I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.

14 I have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

15 For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.

16 As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

17 Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.

18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it, says Yahweh, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

20 Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

21 The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.

22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

23 Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can't be quiet.

24 Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

25 How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh of Armies.

27 I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.

28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says Yahweh: Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Terror on every side!

30 Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor, says Yahweh; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

31 Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says Yahweh; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.

32 Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners [of their hair] cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says Yahweh.

33 Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

34 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

35 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

36 On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

37 I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger, says Yahweh; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;

38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes, says Yahweh.

39 But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, says Yahweh.
