1 És lõn a hatodik esztendõben, a hatodik hónapban, a hónap ötödik napján: én ülök vala házamban, és Júda vénei ülnek vala elõttem és esék reám ott az Úr Istennek keze.

2 És látám, és ímé vala mintegy tûznek formája, derekának alakjától fogva lefelé tûz vala, és derekától fogva fölfelé vala mint a fényesség, mint az izzó ércz.

3 És kinyújta egy kézformát, és megragada engem fejem üstökénél fogva, és fölemelve vitt engem a lélek a föld és az ég között, és bevive engem Jeruzsálembe isteni látásokban a belsõ kapu bejáratához, a mely északra néz, a hol vala helye a bosszúság bálványának, a mely bosszúságra ingerel vala;

4 És ímé ott vala Izráel Istenének dicsõsége, a látás szerint, a melyet láttam a völgyben.

5 És monda nékem: Embernek fia! emeld föl csak szemeidet észak felé. Fölemelém azért szemeimet észak felé: és ímé északra az oltár kapujától áll vala a bosszúság ama bálványa a bejáratnál.

6 És mondá nékem: Embernek fia! látod-e mit cselekesznek? A nagy útálatosságokat, melyeket Izráel háza itt cselekszik, hogy eltávozzam az én szenthelyemtõl. De még egyéb nagy útálatosságokat is fogsz látni.

7 És vive engem a pitvar bejáratához, és látám, és ímé egy lyuk vala a falban.

8 És mondá nékem: Embernek fia! ronts csak át a falon! és átronték a falon, és ímé egy ajtó vala [ott].

9 És mondá nékem: Menj be és lásd meg a gonosz útálatosságokat, a melyeket ezek ott cselekesznek.

10 Bemenék azért és látám, és ímé az útálatos csúszó-mászó állatoknak és barmoknak mindenféle képei és Izráel házának minden bálványai vannak bevésve a falon köröskörül.

11 És hetven férfiú Izráel házának vénei közül (ezek közepette Jaazanjáhu, a Sáfán fia) áll vala elõttök, mindenik a maga tömjénezõjével kezében, s a füstölõszer felhõjének illata száll vala fel.

12 És mondá nékem: Láttad-é, embernek fia, Izráel házának vénei mit cselekesznek a sötétben, kiki az õ képes házában? mert azt mondják: Nem lát minket az Úr, elhagyta az Úr ezt a földet.

13 És mondá nékem: Még egyéb nagy útálatosságokat is fogsz látni, miket ezek cselekesznek.

14 És vive engem az Úr háza kapujának bejáratához, a mely északra van, és ímé ott asszonyok ülnek vala, siratván a Tammúzt.

15 És mondá nékem: Láttad-é, embernek fia? még egyéb, ezeknél nagyobb útálatosságokat is fogsz látni.

16 És bevive engem az Úr házának belsõ pitvarába, és ímé az Úr templomának bejáratánál, a tornácz és az oltár között vala mintegy huszonöt férfiú, kik hátokkal az Úr templomára és orczájokkal keletre fordultak, s ezek kelet felé leborulva imádták a napot.

17 És mondá nékem: Láttad-é, embernek fia? avagy kevés-é Júda házának ily útálatosságokat cselekedni, a milyeneket itt cselekedtek? hogy még a földet is betöltik erõszakossággal, és engem megint haragra ingerelnek, ímé, hogy tartják a venyigét orrukhoz!

18 Én is búsulásom szerint cselekszem, nem fog kedvezni szemem, sem meg nem szánom õket; s ha kiáltanak füleimbe nagy felszóval, nem hallgatom meg õket.

9323. 'And He will bless your bread and your water' means the increase of the good of love and of the truth of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed by Jehovah' as being made fruitful in forms of good and being multiplied in truths, dealt with in 2846, 3406, 4981, 6091, 6099, 8939, thus an increase in the kinds of things that belong to love and faith; from the meaning of 'bread' as the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 6118, 8410; and from the meaning of 'water' as the truth of faith, dealt with in 680, 739, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, 6346, 7307, 8568. Since 'bread' meant all the good of love and 'water' all the truth of faith in their entirety, and since 'being blessed by Jehovah' means every increase in them, people in the ancient Churches were accustomed to express the wish, May Jehovah bless [your] bread and water. It was also common to speak of 'bread and water' when all natural food and drink were to be expressed and all spiritual goodness and truth to be understood; for the latter are what nourish spiritual life, just as the former nourish natural life, 4976.

[2] Such goodness and truth are meant by 'bread and water' in the following places: In Isaiah,

Behold, Jehovah Zebaoth is taking away from Jerusalem and Judah the whole staff of bread, and the whole staff of water. Isaiah 3:1.

'The staff of bread' stands for power and life provided by good, 'the staff of water' for power and life provided by truth. In Ezekiel,

Behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, so that they may eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and with dismay; that they may be in want of bread and water, and will be dismayed with one another, 1 and waste away on account of their iniquity. Ezekiel 4:16-17.

'Being in want of bread and water' means being deprived of the good of love and of the truth of faith, as is plainly evident since it says 'that they will be dismayed with one with another, and waste away on account of iniquity'.

[3] The like occurs again in the same prophet,

They will eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with dismay, so that her land may be devastated of its fullness, on account of the violence of all who dwell in it. Ezekiel 12:19.

In Amos,

Behold, the days are going to come, in which I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. Amos 8:11.

In the first Book of Kings,

The man of God said to Jeroboam, If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. For Jehovah had so commanded, saying, You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way you came. But a prophet from Bethel said to him that he had been told by Jehovah that he was to eat bread and drink water with him (he was lying). 2 And he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water. For that reason he was torn to pieces by a lion. 1 Kings 13:8-9, 16-19, 24.

His refusal to eat bread or drink water with Jeroboam was a sign of his abhorrence of the good there and also of the truth, because they had been rendered profane. For Jeroboam had profaned the altar and all the holy things of worship, as is evident from the historical descriptions at this point in the Word.

[4] A lack of spiritual goodness and truth was meant by the absence of rain for three and a half years when Ahab was king, resulting in a lack of bread and of water, during which time Elijah went to a widow in Zarephath and asked her for a little water in a vessel so that he might drink, and a piece of bread so that he might eat, 1 Kings 17, 18. For 'bread' meant all the good of the Church, and 'water' all the truth of the Church, as stated above. Since such things in those times were representative for the reason that only something representative of the Church existed among those people, and since things of a representative nature were used therefore in the composition of the Word, including the historical section, goodness and truth laid waste was accordingly represented by the lack of bread and water. And because 'bread' meant all the good of love in its entirety, therefore also the sacrifices were referred to as 'bread', 2165, and therefore also the Lord calls Himself 'the bread which comes down from heaven', John 6:48, 50-51; for the Lord is the Good itself of Love.
