1
当犹大王乌西雅，以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在位的时候，大地震前二年，提哥亚牧人中的阿摩司得默示论以色列。
2
他说：耶和华必从锡安吼叫，从耶路撒冷发声；牧人的草场要悲哀；迦密的山顶要枯乾。
3
耶和华如此说：大马色三番四次地犯罪，我必不免去他的刑罚；因为他以打粮食的铁器打过基列。
5
我必折断大马色的门闩，剪除亚文平原的居民和伯伊甸掌权的。亚兰人必被掳到吉珥。这是耶和华说的。
6
耶和华如此说：迦萨三番四次地犯罪，我必不免去他的刑罚；因为他掳掠众民交给以东。
8
我必剪除亚实突的居民和亚实基伦掌权的，也必反手攻击以革伦。非利士人所馀剩的必都灭亡。这是主耶和华说的。
9
耶和华如此说：推罗三番四次地犯罪，我必不免去他的刑罚；因为他将众民交给以东，并不记念弟兄的盟约。
11
耶和华如此说：以东三番四次地犯罪，我必不免去他的刑罚；因为他拿刀追赶兄弟，毫无怜悯，发怒撕裂，永怀忿怒。
13
耶和华如此说：亚扪人三番四次地犯罪，我必不免去他们的刑罚；因为他们剖开基列的孕妇，扩张自己的境界。
851. And with Him a hundred forty-four thousand, signifies according to truths in the whole complex. This is evident from the signification of a "hundred forty-four thousand," as being truths in the whole complex (See above n. 430. These words of the Lord to His twelve disciples have a like signification:
Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye that have followed Me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of His glory ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28).
This does not mean that the twelve disciples were to sit upon twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel, but it means that the Lord is to judge all according to truths from good, which are from Him, for "the twelve disciples" signify all who are of the church, and in an abstract sense all things of the church, which are truths from good. (But this may be seen explained above, n. 9, 206, 253, 270, 297, 430).
[2] "Elders and princes" have a like signification in Isaiah:
Jehovah hath stood up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples. Jehovah will come to judgment with the elders of His people and the princes thereof (Isaiah 3:13, 14).
"The elders of the people and the princes thereof" have a similar signification as the twelve disciples, namely, all belonging to the church who are in its truths and goods, and in an abstract sense the truths and goods of the church in the whole complex. (That this is the signification of "elders" see above, n. 270; also of "princes," n. 29, 408).
[3] "A hundred forty-four thousand" means truths in the whole complex, because that number has a similar signification as the number "twelve" and "twelve" signifies truths and goods in the whole complex. "A hundred forty-four thousand" has a similar signification as twelve because composite numbers have a similar signification as the simple numbers from which they arise by multiplication; and the number one hundred forty-four arises from the multiplication of twelve by twelve. Again, one hundred forty-four thousand has a similar signification as one hundred forty-four. But on this see many things that were said in the explanation of the seventh chapter, which treats of the twelve thousand sealed out of each tribe, and the one hundred forty-four thousand sealed out of all the tribes together.
