Amós 8

Студија

   

1 O Senhor Deus assim me fez ver: e eis aqui um cesto de frutos do verão.

2 E disse: Que vês, Amós? Eu respondi: um cesto de frutos do verão. Então o Senhor me disse: Chegou o fim sobre o meu povo Israel; nunca mais passarei por ele.

3 Mas os cânticos do templo serão gritos de dor naquele dia, diz o Senhor Deus; muitos serão os cadáveres; em todos os lugares serão lançados fora em silêncio.

4 Ouvi isto, vós que pisais os necessitados, e destruís os miseráveis da terra,

5 dizendo: Quando passará a lua nova, para vendermos o grão? e o sábado, para expormos o trigo, diminuindo a medida, e aumentando o preço, e procedendo dolosamente com balanças enganadoras,

6 para comprarmos os pobres por dinheiro, e os necessitados por um par de sapatos, e para vendermos o refugo do trigo?

7 Jurou o Senhor pela glória de Jacó: Certamente nunca me esquecerei de nenhuma das suas obras.

8 Por causa disso não estremecerá a terra? e não chorará todo aquele que nela habita? Certamente se levantará ela toda como o Nilo, e será agitada, e diminuirá como o Nilo do Egito.

9 E sucederá, naquele dia, diz o Senhor Deus, que farei que o sol se ponha ao meio dia, e em pleno dia cobrirei a terra de trevas.

10 E tornarei as vossas festas em luto, e todos os vossos cânticos em lamentações; porei saco sobre todos os lombos, e calva sobre toda cabeça; e farei que isso seja como o luto por um filho único, e o seu fim como dia de amarguras.

11 Eis que vêm os dias, diz o Senhor Deus, em que enviarei fome sobre a terra; não fome de pão, nem sede de água, mas de ouvir as palavras do Senhor.

12 Andarão errantes de mar a mar, e do norte até o oriente; correrão por toda parte, buscando a palavra do Senhor, e não a acharão.

13 Naquele dia as virgens formosas e os mancebos desmaiarão de sede.

14 Os que juram pelo pecado de Samária, dizendo: Pela vida do teu deus, ó ; e: Pelo caminho de Berseba; esses mesmos cairão, e não se levantarão mais.

Jeremias 6:26

Студија

       

26 ç filha do meu povo, cingi-te de saco, e revolve-te na cinza; pranteia como por um filho único, em pranto de grande amargura; porque de repente virá o destruidor sobre nós.

3464. 'And pointed out to him the reasons for the well which they had dug; and they said to him, We have found water' means interior truths obtained by means of these. This is clear from the meaning of 'a well' as the Word, dealt with in 3424, and from the meaning of 'water' as truths, dealt with in 2702, that is to say, truths drawn from the Word. 'Pointing out to him the reasons for the well which they had dug' accordingly means concerning the Word, the source of matters of doctrine; 'and they said to him, We have found water' means that it is in these, that is to say, in matters of doctrine, that interior truths reside; for as stated above, all matters of doctrine drawn from the literal sense of the Word include interior truths within them. For the literal sense of the Word is like a well with water in it, in that every single thing in the Word holds within itself the internal sense, which resides also in matters of doctrine drawn from the Word.

[2] The situation with matters of doctrine drawn from the literal sense of the Word is that when anyone possesses them and at the same time lives according to them a correspondence exists within himself. For the angels who reside with him are alive to the interior truths when he is alive to the exterior; and in this way he has communication with heaven by means of matters of doctrine, though this is conditioned by how good a life he leads. For example, when at the Holy Supper this person in simplicity thinks about the Lord from the words 'This is My body' and 'This is My blood' the angels residing with him have in mind love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour; for love to the Lord corresponds to the Lord's body and to the bread, while charity towards the neighbour corresponds to His blood and to the wine, 1798, 2165, 2177, 2187. This being the nature of the correspondence, there flows from heaven by way of the angels into that holiness present with the person at that time an affection which he receives according to the good within his life.

[3] Actually angels dwell with every person in the affection that belongs to his life, and so in the affection for the matters of doctrine according to which he lives, but never in the matters of doctrine with which his life is at variance. If his life is at variance with them, as it is if his affection is to gain position and wealth for himself by means of matters of doctrine, the angels in that case depart and spirits from hell dwell in that affection. These either instill their confirmations into him that favour self and the world - thus a false persuasion, which is such that he does not care at all whether a thing is true or false, provided people's attention is drawn to himself - or they take away all faith, in which case the doctrine on that person's lips is merely a sound prompted and fashioned by the fire of those loves.
