Klaagliederen 5

1 Gedenk, HEERE, wat ons geschied is, aanschouw het, en zie onzen smaad aan.

2 Ons erfdeel is tot de vreemdelingen gewend, onze huizen tot de uitlanders.

3 Wij zijn wezen zonder vader, onze moeders zijn als de weduwen.

4 Ons water moeten wij voor geld drinken; Ons hout komt Ons op prijs te staan.

5 Wij lijden vervolging op onze halzen; zijn wij woede, men laat ons geen rust.

6 Wij hebben den Egyptenaar de hand gegeven, en den Assyrier, om met brood verzadigd te worden.

7 Onze vaders hebben gezondigd, en zijn niet meer, en wij dragen hun ongerechtigheden.

8 Knechten heersen over ons; er is niemand, die ons uit hun hand rukke.

9 Wij moeten ons brood met gevaar onzes levens halen, vanwege het zwaard der woestijn.

10 Onze huid is zwart geworden gelijk een oven, vanwege den geweldigen storm des hongers.

11 Zij hebben de vrouwen te Sion verkracht, en de jonge dochters in de steden van Juda.

12 De vorsten zijn door hunlieder hand opgehangen; de aangezichten der ouden zijn niet geeerd geweest.

13 Zij hebben de jongelingen weggenomen, om te malen, en de jongens struikelen onder het hout.

14 De ouden houden op van de poort, de jongelingen van hun snarenspel.

15 De vreugde onzes harten houdt op, onze rei is in treurigheid veranderd.

16 De kroon onzes hoofds is afgevallen; o wee nu onzer, dat wij zo gezondigd hebben!

17 Daarom is ons hart mat, om deze dingen zijn onze ogen duister geworden.

18 Om des bergs Sions wil, die verwoest is, waar de vossen op lopen.

19 Gij, o HEERE, zit in eeuwigheid, Uw troon is van geslacht tot geslacht.

20 Waarom zoudt Gij ons steeds vergeten? Waarom zoudt Gij ons zo langen tijd verlaten?

21 HEERE, bekeer ons tot U, zo zullen wij bekeerd zijn; vernieuw onze dagen als van ouds.

22 Want zoudt Gij ons ganselijk verwerpen? Zoudt Gij zozeer tegen ons verbolgen zijn?

37. The Lord Is God Himself, the Origin of and Subject of the Word

In the first section we began to demonstrate that the Holy Scripture throughout has the Lord as its subject, and that the Lord embodies the Word. Here we will demonstrate it further from passages in the Word in which the Lord is called Jehovah, the God of Israel and of Jacob, the Holy One of Israel, the Lord and God, as well as King, the Anointed of Jehovah, and David.

I may relate to begin with that I have been granted to go through the Prophets and the Psalms of David and to examine each verse and see what the subject is there, and I saw that the subjects were nothing else than the church established by the Lord and the church to be established, the Lord’s advent, His battles, His glorification, redemption and salvation, and the heaven established by Him and to be established, and at the same time their opposites.

Because these are all works of the Lord, it was apparent that the Holy Scripture throughout has the Lord as its subject, and that the Lord therefore embodies the Word.

[2] However, this can only be seen by people who are enlightened by the Lord and who are acquainted as well with the spiritual sense of the Word. Angels in heaven all possess this sense. Consequently, when a person reads the Word, that is the only meaning the angels comprehend. For a person has spirits and angels with him continually, and because they are spiritual, they understand spiritually everything that the person understands naturally.

That the Holy Scripture throughout has the Lord as its subject can be seen dimly, and as though through a screen, from the passages presented from the Word in the first section above, nos. 1-6, and from those we will present now regarding the Lord, showing how often He is called the Lord and God. This may make clear that it is the Lord who spoke through the prophets, in whose books we find everywhere the declarations, “Jehovah spoke, ” “Jehovah said, ” and “the saying of Jehovah.”

[3] That the Lord existed prior to His advent into the world is apparent from the following:

(John the Baptist said of the Lord:) “It is He who, coming after me, is before me, whose shoelace I am not worthy to loosen.... This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who was before me, and who was of prior standing to me.’ ” (John 1:27, 30)

In the book of Revelation:

...they...fell (before the throne on which the Lord sat), saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who are and who were and who are to come....” (Revelation 11:16-17)

And in Micah:

You, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, out of you shall come forth to Me One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity. (Micah 5:2)

It is apparent in addition from the Lord’s words in the Gospels that He was before Abraham, that He had glory with the Father before the foundation of the world, that He came forth from the Father, and that the Word was from the beginning with God, that God was the Word, and that this became flesh.

That the Lord is called Jehovah, the God of Israel and of Jacob, the Holy One of Israel, God and the Lord, as well as King, the Anointed of Jehovah, and David, can be seen from what follows next.
