耶利米书 20

Studie

   

1 祭司音麦的儿子巴施户珥作耶和华殿的总管,耶利米预言这些事,

2 他就打先知耶利米,用耶和华殿着便雅悯内的枷,将他枷在那里。

3 次日,巴施户珥将耶利米开枷释放。於是耶利米对他耶和华不是你的名为巴施户珥,乃是你玛歌珥.米撒毕(就是四面惊吓的意思),

4 耶和华如此:我必使你自觉惊吓,你也必使众朋友惊吓;他们必倒在仇敌的刀下,你也必亲眼见;我必将犹大人全交在巴比伦王的中,他要将他们掳到巴比伦去,也要用刀将他们杀戮。

5 并且我要将这城中的一切货财和劳碌得来的,并一切珍宝,以及犹大所有的宝物,都交在他们仇敌的中;仇敌要当作掠物到巴比伦去。

6 你这巴施户珥和一切在你中的人都必被掳去;你和你的众朋友,就是你向他们假预言的,都必到巴比伦去,要在那着,葬在那着。

7 耶和华啊,你曾劝导我,我也听了你的劝导。你比我有力量,且胜了我。我终日成为笑话,人人都戏弄我。

8 我每逢讲论的时候,就发出哀声,我喊:有强暴和毁灭!因为耶和华的终日成了我的凌辱、讥刺。

9 我若:我不再提耶和华,也不再奉他的名讲论,我便里觉得似乎有烧着的闭塞在我中,我就含忍不住,不能自禁。

10 见了许多人的谗谤,四围都是惊吓;就是我知己的朋友也都窥探我,愿我跌倒,:告他罢,我们也要告他!或者他被引诱,我们就能胜他,在他身上报仇。

11 然而,耶和华与我同在,好像甚可怕的勇士。因此,逼迫我的必都绊跌,不能得胜;他们必大大蒙羞,就是受永不忘记的羞辱,因为他们行事没有智慧。

12 试验人、察人肺腑肠的万军之耶和华啊,求你容我见你在他们身上报仇,因我将我的案件向你禀明了。

13 你们要向耶和华唱歌;赞美耶和华!因他救了穷人的性命脱离恶人的

14 愿我生的那日受咒诅;愿我母亲产我的那日不蒙福!

15 给我父亲报信说你得了儿子,使我父亲甚欢喜的,愿那受咒诅。

16 愿那耶和华倾覆而不後悔的城邑;愿他早晨见哀声,晌见呐喊;

17 因他在我未出胎的时候不杀我,使我母亲成了我的坟墓,胎就时常重大。

18 我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦,使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢?

7996. 'No son of a foreigner shall eat it' means that those not in possession of truth and good are set apart from them. This is clear from the meaning of 'a foreigner' as those who are outside the Church and unreceptive of anything of the truth or good of faith, as the nations in the land of Canaan were, dealt with in 2049, 2115, thus those who are not in possession of truth and good; and from the meaning of 'not eating it' as not having any contact with them or being joined to them, thus being set apart from them. The verses immediately following deal with those who shall eat the Passover together and those who shall not eat it. The Passover was a supper, representing the groups of good people living in association with one another in heaven. The statutes in the verses that follow indicate who exactly could be included and who could not. In general the banquets within the Church in ancient times, both midday meals and suppers, were held in order that people might be brought into association with one another and joined together in love, and in order that they might inform one another about matters of love and faith, and so about the things of heaven, see 3596, 3832, 5161. Such were the delights surrounding feasts in those times, and they were the end in view in holding midday meals and suppers. People's minds were thereby nourished, and also their bodies in a parallel and corresponding way. As a result they enjoyed good health and long life, they received intelligence and wisdom, and they were also brought into communication with heaven, some into open communication with angels. But as in course of time all internal things disappear and give way to external ones, so it is with the ends to which banquets and feasts are held. At the present day these are held not to draw people together into any spiritual fellowship but to create worldly connections. That is to say, they are held for the sake of material gain, the quest for high office, and mere pleasures. They provide nourishment for the body, but none for the mind.
