1 ثم صار اليّ كلام الرب قائلا

2 لا تتخذ لنفسك امرأة ولا يكن لك بنون ولا بنات في هذا الموضع.

3 لانه هكذا قال الرب عن البنين وعن البنات المولودين في هذا الموضع وعن امهاتهم اللواتي ولدنهم وعن آبائهم الذين ولدوهم في هذه الارض

4 ميتات امراض يموتون. لا يندبون ولا يدفنون بل يكونون دمنة على وجه الارض وبالسيف والجوع يفنون وتكون جثثهم أكلا لطيور السماء ولوحوش الارض.

5 لانه هكذا قال الرب. لا تدخل بيت النوح ولا تمض للندب ولا تعزهم لاني نزعت سلامي من هذا الشعب يقول الرب الاحسان والمراحم.

6 فيموت الكبار والصغار في هذه الارض. لا يدفنون ولا يندبونهم ولا يخمشون انفسهم ولا يجعلون قرعة من اجلهم.

7 ولا يكسرون خبزا في المناحة ليعزوهم عن ميت ولا يسقونهم كاس التعزية عن اب او ام.

8 ولا تدخل بيت الوليمة لتجلس معهم للأكل والشرب.

9 لانه هكذا قال رب الجنود اله اسرائيل. هانذا مبطل من هذا الموضع امام اعينكم وفي ايامكم صوت الطرب وصوت الفرح صوت العريس وصوت العروس

10 ويكون حين تخبر هذا الشعب بكل هذه الامور انهم يقولون لك لماذا تكلم الرب علينا بكل هذا الشر العظيم فما هو ذنبنا وما هي خطيتنا التي اخطاناها الى الرب الهنا.

11 فتقول لهم من اجل ان آباءكم قد تركوني يقول الرب وذهبوا وراء آلهة اخرى وعبدوها وسجدوا لها واياي تركوا وشريعتي لم يحفظوها.

12 وانتم اسأتم في عملكم اكثر من آبائكم وها انتم ذاهبون كل واحد وراء عناد قلبه الشرير حتى لا تسمعوا لي.

13 فاطردكم من هذه الارض الى ارض لم تعرفوها انتم ولا آباؤكم فتعبدون هناك آلهة اخرى نهارا وليلا حيث لا اعطيكم نعمة

14 لذلك ها ايام تأتي يقول الرب ولا يقال بعد حيّ هو الرب الذي اصعد بني اسرائيل من ارض مصر

15 بل حيّ هو الرب الذي اصعد بني اسرائيل من ارض الشمال ومن جميع الاراضي التي طردهم اليها. فارجعهم الى ارضهم التي اعطيت آباءهم اياها

16 هانذا ارسل الى جزافين كثيرين يقول الرب فيصطادونهم ثم بعد ذلك ارسل الى كثيرين من القانصين فيقتنصونهم عن كل جبل وعن كل اكمة ومن شقوق الصخور.

17 لان عينيّ على كل طرقهم. لم تستتر عن وجهي ولم يختف اثمهم من امام عينيّ

18 واعاقب اولا اثمهم وخطيتهم ضعفين لانهم دنسوا ارضي وبجثث مكرهاتهم ورجاساتهم قد ملأوا ميراثي.

19 يا رب عزي وحصني وملجإي في يوم الضيق اليك تأتي الامم من اطراف الارض ويقولون انما ورث آباؤنا كذبا واباطيل وما لا منفعة فيه.

20 هل يصنع الانسان لنفسه آلهة وهي ليست آلهة.

21 لذلك هانذا اعرّفهم هذه المرة اعرّفهم يدي وجبروتي فيعرفون ان اسمي يهوه

158. ADDITIONAL NOTE

Since this chapter has dealt with the Holy Spirit, it is of importance to note that the Holy Spirit is nowhere named in the Old Testament Word, but only 'the Spirit of holiness' in three passages, one in the Psalms of David (Psalms 51:11), and two in Isaiah (Isaiah 63:10-11). But there are frequent references in the New Testament Word, as much in the Gospels as in the Acts of the Apostles and in their Epistles. The reason is that the Holy Spirit first existed when the Lord came into the world, for it came out of Him from the Father; for 'the Lord alone is holy' (Revelation 15:4). For this reason too the angel Gabriel speaking to Mary the mother of Jesus said 'the holy thing which will be born of you' (Luke 1:35). The reason why we read 'The Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified' (John 7:39), although it was said earlier that the Holy Spirit filled Elizabeth (Luke 1:41) and Zechariah (Luke 1:67), as well as Simeon (Luke 2:25), was that it was the spirit of Jehovah the Father which filled them; and it was called the Holy Spirit because the Lord was already at that time in the world.

This is why nowhere in the Old Testament Word does it say that the Prophets spoke from the Holy Spirit, but from Jehovah. For everywhere we read 'Jehovah spoke to me', 'The Word from Jehovah came to me', 'Jehovah said', 'The saying of Jehovah.'

To remove all possibility of doubt I propose to quote the passages solely in Jeremiah where these expressions occur:

51:25, 33, 36, 39, 52, 58.

These are solely from Jeremiah. There are similar expressions in all the other Prophets, but it is never said that the Holy Spirit spoke, nor that Jehovah spoke to them by means of the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 26

Studija

   

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from Yahweh, saying,

2 Thus says Yahweh: Stand in the court of Yahweh's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yahweh's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; don't diminish a word.

3 It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

4 You shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;

6 then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

7 The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yahweh.

8 It happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, You shall surely die.

9 Why have you prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? All the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh.

10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of Yahweh; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Yahweh's [house].

11 Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.

12 Then spoke Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying, Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

13 Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Yahweh your God; and Yahweh will repent him of the evil that he has pronounced against you.

14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as is good and right in your eyes.

15 Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for of a truth Yahweh has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

16 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Yahweh our God.

17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn't he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.

20 There was also a man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:

21 and when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt:

22 and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;

23 and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
