Jeremias 43

Estudio

   

1 Men da Jeremias var ferdig med å tale til alt folket alle Herrens, deres Guds ord, som Herren deres Gud hadde sendt ham til dem med - alle disse ord,

2 da sa Asarja, Hosajas sønn, og Johanan, Kareahs sønn, og alle de overmodige menn, de sa til Jeremias: Du taler løgn; Herren vår Gud har ikke sendt dig og sagt: I skal ikke dra til Egypten for å bo der.

3 Men Baruk, Nerijas sønn, egger dig op mot oss, forat vi skal bli gitt i kaldeernes hånd, så de kan drepe oss eller føre oss bort til Babel.

4 Og Johanan, Kareahs sønn, og alle hærførerne og alt folket vilde ikke høre på Herrens røst og bli i Juda land.

5 Men Johanan, Kareahs sønn, og alle hærførerne tok alle dem som var blitt igjen av Juda, dem som var kommet tilbake fra alle de hedningefolk som de var blitt drevet bort til, for å bo i Juda land,

6 mennene og kvinnene og de små barn og kongens døtre og hver sjel som høvdingen over livvakten Nebusaradan hadde latt bli tilbake hos Gedalja, sønn av Akikam, Safans sønn, og likeså profeten Jeremias og Baruk, Nerijas sønn,

7 og de drog avsted til Egyptens land, for de hørte ikke på Herrens røst; og så kom de frem til Tahpanhes.

8 Og Herrens ord kom til Jeremias i Tahpanhes, og det lød så:

9 Ta nogen store stener i din hånd og skjul dem i leret ved teglovnen som står ved inngangen til Faraos hus i Tahpanhes, og la nogen menn fra Juda se på det!

10 Og du skal si til dem: Så sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud, Israels Gud: Se, jeg sender bud og henter min tjener Nebukadnesar, Babels konge, og setter hans trone ovenpå disse stener som jeg har skjult, og han skal brede ut sitt prektige teppe over dem.

11 Og han skal komme og slå Egyptens land; den som hører døden til, hjemfaller til døden, og den som hører fangenskapet til, hjemfaller til fangenskapet, og den som hører sverdet til, hjemfaller til sverdet.

12 Og jeg vil sette ild på Egyptens gudetempler, og han skal brenne dem op og føre gudene bort, og han skal svøpe sig i Egyptens land, likesom en hyrde svøper sig i sin kappe, og siden skal han dra ut derfra i fred.

13 Og han skal knuse støttene i Betsemes* i Egyptens land, og Egyptens templer skal han brenne op med ild. / {* Heliopolis.}

39. We can see that the Lord is called “the God of Israel” and “the God of Jacob” from the following passages:

Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you.” And they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was something like a work of sapphire stone and like the substance of heaven. (Exodus 24:8-10)

The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)

Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, because he has visited and freed his people Israel, when he raised up the horn of our salvation in the house of David. (Luke 1:68-69)

I will give you treasures of darkness and the hidden wealth of secret places so that you may recognize that I, Jehovah, who have called you by your name, am the God of Israel. (Isaiah 45:3)

... the house of Jacob, people who swear by the name of Jehovah and of the God of Israel, for they are called by the name of the holy city and rely on the God of Israel: Jehovah Sabaoth is his name. (Isaiah 48:1-2)

Jacob will see his descendants in his midst. They will sanctify my name and will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob; and they will fear the God of Israel. (Isaiah 29:23)

In the very last of days many people will come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, who will teach us about his ways so that we may walk in his paths.” (Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2)

... so that all flesh may know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)

I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Powerful One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)

In the presence of the Lord you give birth, O earth, in the presence of the God of Jacob. (Psalms 114:7)

David swore to Jehovah and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob, “[God forbid] that I enter the tent of my home until I have found a place for Jehovah, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” We have heard of him in Ephrata [that is, Bethlehem]. (Psalms 132:2-3, 5-6)

Blessed be the God of Israel; the whole earth will be full of his glory. (Psalms 72:18-19)

There are also many other passages where the Lord is called “God of Israel, ” “Redeemer, ” and “Savior, ” such as Luke 1:47; Isaiah 45:15; 54:5; Psalms 78:35; plus many other places where we find only “the God of Israel, ” as in Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.

Psalms 73

Estudio

   

1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.

5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.

6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.

10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.

11 They say, "How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"

12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

13 Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,

14 For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.

15 If I had said, "I will speak thus;" behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

16 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me;

17 Until I entered God's sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.

20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.

21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.

22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.

23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Who do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth who I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.

28 But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works. A contemplation by Asaph.
