โจเอล 1:17
Many thanks to Philip Pope for the permission to use his 2003 translation of the English King James Version Bible into Thai. Here's a link to the mission's website: www.thaipope.org
Pasture
Plants in the Bible generally represent facts, knowledge that can be gleaned from the world. Plants that can serve animals as food represent facts that have the potential to be put to use, ones that can lead to something good. A pasture, then, is an area that offers a great deal of this sort of useful, life-building knowledge. "Pasture" is often used as a verb in the Bible as well; to pasture animals means teaching people facts that can help them do what is good in life.
Psalms 122
1
I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Yahweh's house!"
2
Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;
3
Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;
4
where the tribes go up, even Yah's tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5
For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
7
Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
8
For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you."
9
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good. A Song of Ascents.
