Jonás 2

Studie

   

1 .Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez al SEÑOR su Dios.

2 Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación al SEÑOR, Y él me oyó; Del vientre del infierno clamé, Y mi voz oíste.

3 Me echaste en lo profundo, en medio de los mares, Y la corriente me rodeó; Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.

4 Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos; Mas aún veré el santo templo tuyo.

5 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, El abismo me rodeó; El junco se enguedejó a mi cabeza.

6 Descendí a las raíces de los montes; La tierra echó sus cerraduras sobre mí para siempre; Mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh SEÑOR Dios mío.

7 Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, me acordé del Señor; Y mi oración entró hasta ti en tu santo Templo.

8 Los que guardan las vanidades ilusorias, Su misericordia abandonan.

9 Mas yo alabándote con voz de confesión te sacrificaré; Pagaré lo que prometí. Al SEÑOR sea el salvamento.

10 Y mandó el SEÑOR al pez, y vomitó a Jonás en tierra seca.

Editor's Introduction: In this work, Emanuel Swedenborg outlined the internal meaning of all the Prophetical Books, from Isaiah to Malachi, and the Psalms, and then the first 16 chapters of Genesis. It provides a survey of the inner meaning of a substantial portion of the Old Testament, in one place.

This work was written by Swedenborg in Latin, in 1761. It was translated from Latin into English by Rev. J. E. Schreck, and this translation was published by the Swedenborg Foundation, in New York, in 1900. This modified version of Schreck's 1900 translation does not update the text; instead just modifying numbering and formatting for clarity of use online.

Each chapter of each book of the Prophets has one corresponding numbered section in Swedenborg's explanation of its inner meaning, or internal sense. Swedenborg listed the verses that relate to each outlined point. We have added hyperlinks to the verse references, shown to the left of each outlined point. The Psalms and initial chapters of Genesis are treated in a similar fashion.

This work was not published by Swedenborg, but it is consistent with other more detailed treatments made in his published works. For example, Swedenborg refers to this work in Doctrine of the Lord 37.

Readers may also find these comparisons useful:

- No. 124 of this work, explaining Ezekiel 1, with The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture 97,

- Nos. 161, 162, explaining Ezekiel 38, and 39, with Apocalypse Revealed 859,

- No. 236, explaining Zechariah 4, with Apocalypse Revealed 43, and

- Nos. 244-246 of this work, explaining Zechariah 12, 13, 14, with Apocalypse Revealed 707.

In the manuscript, at the beginning, Swedenborg wrote out a list of works that he intended to write and publish. While it's clearly related to the project of outlining the internal meaning of the Prophets, Psalms, and historical parts of the Word, it seems to be an independent list. We reproduce Rev. Schreck's translation of that list here:

"To Be Published:

1. Concerning the Lord.

2. Concerning the Sacred Scripture or concerning the Word of the Lord.

3. All things of religion and of the worship of God in one complex in the Decalogue.

4. Concerning Faith.

5. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine Providence.

6. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine omnipotence and omniscience, and concerning infinity and eternity.

7. Angelic wisdom concerning life.

8. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine love and Divine wisdom."

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In the original Latin manuscript, Swedenborg cross-referred the outlined internal sense to a more general Table of Subjects, shown above. In the following passages, those references are shown in parentheses, e.g. (3) would refer to subject number 3 above. We received the Latin text for this "front matter" from the Heavenly Doctrines Publishing Foundation.

2. Editor's Note (Schreck): No. 14 is crossed out by Swedenborg in his MS., and is never referred to in the text. It reads, "The state of unition with His Divine," which is the same as No. 10.

Doctrine of the Lord 3 for an outline of a similar set of themes that form the internal sense of the prophetical books.
