Jeremijine tužbalice 2

Étudier

   

1 Kako obastre Gospod oblakom u gnevu svom kćer sionsku! Svrže s neba na zemlju slavu Izrailjevu, i ne opomenu se podnožja nogu svojih u dan gneva svog!

2 Gospod potre nemilice sve stanove Jakovljeve, razvali u gnevu svom gradove kćeri Judine, i na zemlju obori, oskvrni carstvo i knezove njegove.

3 Odbi u žestokom gnevu sav rog Izrailju, obrati natrag desnicu svoju od neprijatelja, i raspali se na Jakova kao oganj plameni, koji proždire sve oko sebe.

4 Nateže luk svoj kao neprijatelj, podiže desnicu svoju kao protivnik, i pobi sve što beše drago očima; na šator kćeri sionske prosu kao oganj gnev svoj.

5 Gospod posta kao neprijatelj; potre Izrailja, potre sve dvore njegove, raskopa sve gradove njegove, i umnoži kćeri Judinoj žalost i jad.

6 Razvali mu ogradu kao vrtu; potre mesto sastancima njegovim; Gospod vrže u zaborav na Sionu praznike i subotu, i u žestini gneva svog odbaci cara i sveštenika.

7 Odbaci Gospod oltar svoj, omrze na svetinju svoju, predade u ruke neprijateljima zidove dvora sionskih; stade ih vika u domu Gospodnjem kao na praznik.

8 Gospod naumi da raskopa zid kćeri sionske, rasteže uže, i ne odvrati ruke svoje da ne zatre, i ojadi opkop i zid, iznemogoše skupa.

9 Utonuše u zemlju vrata njena, polomi i potre prevornice njene; car njen i knezovi njeni među narodima su; zakona nema, i proroci njeni ne dobijaju utvare od Gospoda.

10 Starešine kćeri sionske sede na zemlji i ćute, posule su prahom glavu i pripasale kostret; oborile su k zemlji glave svoje devojke jerusalimske.

11 Iščileše mi oči od suza, utroba se moja uskolebala, prosipa se na zemlju jetra moja od pogibli kćeri naroda mog, jer deca i koja sisaju obamiru na ulicama gradskim.

12 Govore materama svojim: Gde je žito i vino? Obamiru kao ranjenici na ulicama gradskim, i ispuštaju dušu svoju u naručju matera svojih.

13 Koga ću ti uzeti za svedoka? S čim ću te izjednačiti, kćeri jerusalimska? Kakvu ću ti priliku naći, da te utešim, devojko, kćeri sionska? Jer je nesreća tvoja velika kao more, ko će te isceliti?

14 Proroci tvoji prorokovaše ti laž i bezumlje, i ne otkrivaše bezakonja tvog da bi odvratili ropstvo tvoje; nego ti kazivaše utvare lažne i koje će te prognati.

15 Pljeskaju rukama nad tobom svi koji prolaze, zvižde i mašu glavom za kćerju jerusalimskom: To li je grad, za koji govorahu da je prava lepota, radost svoj zemlji?

16 Razvaljuju usta na te svi neprijatelji tvoji, zvižde i škrguću zubima govoreći: Proždresmo; ovo je doista dan koji čekasmo; dočekasmo, videsmo.

17 Učini Gospod šta naumi, ispuni reč svoju, koju kaza odavna; razori nemilice i razveseli tobom neprijatelja, podiže rog protivnicima tvojim.

18 Viče srce njihovo ka Gospodu: Zide kćeri sionske, prolivaj potokom suze dan i noć, ne daj sebi mira, i zenica oka tvog da ne staje.

19 Ustani, viči obnoć, u početku straže, prolivaj srce svoje kao vodu pred Gospodom, podiži k Njemu ruke svoje za dušu dece svoje koja obamiru od gladi na uglovima svojih ulica.

20 Pogledaj, Gospode, i vidi, kome si ovako učinio. Eda li žene jedu porod svoj, decu koju nose u naručju? Eda li se ubija u svetinji Gospodnjoj sveštenik i prorok?

21 Leže na zemlji po ulicama deca i starci, devojke moje i mladići moji padoše od mača, pobio si ih u dan gneva svog i poklao ne žaleći.

22 Sazvao si kao na praznik strahote moje od svuda, i u dan gneva Gospodnjeg niko ne uteče niti osta. Koje na ruku nosih i othranih, njih mi neprijatelj moj pobi.

323 - A Way Forward, Part 2 of 7

Par Jonathan S. Rose

Title: A Way Forward, Part 2

Topic: Second Coming

Summary: An important first stage in moving from hell to heaven, whether individually or as a cultrure, is to cry out to the Lord, even if we seemingly get no response. That is actually the Lord planting and building a desire in our hearts for something better than our current situation. This desire is a gift-much needed fuel for out journey.

Zechariah 12

Étudier

   

1 An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

2 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in the siege against Jerusalem.

3 It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

4 In that day," says Yahweh, "I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.'

6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

7 Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.

8 In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh before them.

9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;

14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
