1 Slušaj, nebo, govoriću; i zemlja neka čuje govor usta mojih.

2 Neka se spusti kao dažd nauka moja, i neka padne kao rosa govor moj, kao sitan dažd na mladu travu i kao krupan dažd na odraslu travu.

3 Jer ću javljati ime Gospodnje; veličajte Boga našeg.

4 Delo je te Stene savršeno, jer su svi putevi Njegovi pravda; Bog je veran, bez nepravde; pravedan je i istinit.

5 Oni se pokvariše prema Njemu; njihovo nevaljalstvo nije nevaljalstvo sinova Njegovih; to je rod zao i pokvaren.

6 Tako li vraćate Gospodu, narode ludi i bezumni? Nije li On Otac tvoj koji te je zadobio? On te je načinio i stvorio.

7 Opomeni se nekadašnjih dana, pogledajte godine svakog veka; pitaj oca svog i on će ti javiti, starije svoje i kazaće ti.

8 Kad Višnji razdade nasledstvo narodima, kad razdeli sinove Adamove, postavi međe narodima po broju sinova Izrailjevih.

9 Jer je deo Gospodnji narod Njegov, Jakov je uže nasledstva Njegovog.

10 Nađe ga u zemlji pustoj, na mestu strašnom gde buči pustoš; vodi ga unaokolo, uči ga i čuva kao zenicu oka svog.

11 Kao što orao izmamljuje orliće svoje, diže se nad ptićima svojim, širi krila svoja, uzima ih i nosi na krilima svojim,

12 Tako ga Gospod vođaše, i s njim ne beše tuđeg boga;

13 Vođaše ga na visine zemaljske da jede rod poljski, i davaše mu da sisa med iz stene i ulje iz tvrdog kamena,

14 Maslo od krava i mleko od ovaca s pretilinom od jaganjaca i ovnova vasanskih i jaraca, sa srcem zrna pšeničnih; i pio si vino, krv od grožđa.

15 Ali se Izrailj ugoji, pa se stade ritati; utio si, udebljao i zasalio; pa ostavi Boga koji ga je stvorio, i prezre stenu spasenja svog.

16 Na revnost razdražiše Ga tuđim bogovima, gadovima razgneviše Ga.

17 Prinosiše žrtve đavolima, ne Bogu, bogovima, kojih nisu znali, novim, koji iz bliza dođoše, kojih se nisu strašili oci vaši.

18 Stenu koja te je rodila zaboravio si; zaboravio si Boga Stvoritelja svog.

19 Kad to vide Gospod, razgnevi se na sinove svoje i na kćeri svoje,

20 I reče: Sakriću od njih lice svoje, videću kakav će im biti posledak, jer su rod pokvaren, sinovi u kojima nema vere.

21 Oni me razdražiše na revnost onim što nije Bog, razgneviše svojim taštinama; i ja ću njih razdražiti na revnost onim koji nije narod, narodom ludim razljutiću ih.

22 Jer se oganj razgoreo u gnevu mom, i goreće do najdubljeg pakla; spaliće zemlju i rod njen, i popaliće temelje brdima.

23 Zgrnuću na njih zla, strele svoje pobacaću na njih.

24 Glad će ih cediti, vrućice i ljuti pomori proždiraće ih; i zube zverske poslaću na njih i jed zmija zemaljskih.

25 Spolja će ih ubijati mač, a po kletima strah, i momka i devojku, dete na sisi i sedog čoveka.

26 Rekao bih: Rasejaću ih po svim uglovima zemaljskim, učiniću da nestane spomen njihov između ljudi,

27 Da mi nije do mržnje neprijateljeve, da se ne bi neprijatelji njihovi poneli i rekli: Ruka se naša uzvisila, a nije Gospod učinio sve ovo.

28 Jer su narod koji propada sa svojih namera, i nema u njih razuma.

29 Kamo da su pametni, da razumeju ovo, i gledaju na kraj svoj!

30 Kako bi jedan gonio hiljadu a dvojica terala deset hiljada, da ih nije stena njihova prodala i Gospod ih predao?

31 Jer stena njihova nije kao naša Stena; neprijatelji naši neka budu sudije.

32 Jer je čokot njihov od čokota sodomskog i iz polja gomorskog; grožđe je njihovo grožđe otrovno, puca su mu gorka.

33 Vino je njihovo otrov zmajevski, i ljuti jed aspidin.

34 Nije li to sakriveno kod mene, zapečaćeno u riznicama mojim?

35 Moja je osveta i plata, u svoje vreme popuznuće noga njihova, jer je blizu dan propasti njihove, i ide brzo šta će ih zadesiti.

36 Sudiće Gospod narodu svom, i žao će mu biti sluga Njegovih, kad vidi da je prošla snaga i da nema ništa ni od uhvaćenog ni od ostavljenog.

37 I reći će: Gde su bogovi njihovi? Stena u koju se uzdaše?

38 Koji salo od žrtava njegovih jedoše i piše vino od naliva njihovih. Neka ustanu i pomognu vam, i neka vam budu zaklon.

39 Vidite sada da sam ja, ja sam, i da nema Boga osim mene. Ja ubijam i oživljujem, ranim i isceljujem, i nema nikoga ko bi izbavio iz moje ruke.

40 Jer podižem k nebu ruku svoju i kažem: Ja sam živ doveka.

41 Ako naoštrim sjajni mač svoj i uzmem u ruku sud, učiniću osvetu na neprijateljima svojim i vratiću onima koji mrze na me.

42 Opojiću strele svoje krvlju, i mač će se moj najesti mesa, krvlju isečenih i zarobljenih, kad počnem osvetu na neprijateljima.

43 Veselite se narodi s narodom Njegovim, jer će pokajati krv sluga svojih, i osvetiće se neprijateljima svojim, i očistiće zemlju svoju i narod svoj.

44 I dođe Mojsije i izgovori sve reči pesme ove narodu, on i Isus, sin Navin.

45 A kad izgovori Mojsije sve reči ove svemu Izrailju,

46 Reče im: Privijte srce svoje k svim rečima koje vam ja danas zasvedočavam, i kazujte ih sinovima svojim da bi držali sve reči ovog zakona i tvorili ih.

47 Jer nije prazna reč da za nju ne marite, nego je život vaš; i tom ćete rečju produžiti dane svoje na zemlji, u koju idete preko Jordana da je nasledite.

48 U isti dan reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

49 Iziđi na ovu goru avarimsku, na goru Navav, koja je u zemlji moavskoj prema Jerihonu, i vidi zemlju hanansku koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevim u državu.

50 I umri na gori na koju iziđeš, i priberi s k rodu svom, kao što je umro Aron, brat tvoj na gori Oru i pribrao se k rodu svom.

51 Jer mi zgrešiste među sinovima Izrailjevim na vodi od svađe u Kadisu u pustinji Sinu, što me ne proslaviste među sinovima Izrailjevim.

52 Pred sobom ćeš videti zemlju, ali nećeš u nju ući, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevim.

9857. 'And you shall make a breastplate of judgement' means that which has regard to Divine Truth shining forth from Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a breastplate' as Divine Truth shining forth from the Lord's Divine Good within last and lowest things, dealt with in 9823. It is called 'a breastplate of judgement' because it gave answers, and through these Divine Truth was revealed; furthermore Divine Truth, and therefore doctrinal teachings and a life in accord with them, is meant in the Word by 'judgement'. This then is why this breastplate is referred to as 'the breastplate of judgement', and also further on in this chapter as 'the judgement', in verse 30 - 'Aaron shall carry the judgement of the children of Israel over his heart before Jehovah continually'. And when Joshua was chosen to be leader of the people, it says that he was to stand before Eleazar the priest, who would inquire for him by the judgement of the Urim before Jehovah, Numbers 27:21.

[2] 'Judgement' means Divine Truth and intelligence springing from It, as a consequence of which it means religious teachings and a life in accord with them. This is clear from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Isaiah,

The vineyard of Jehovah Zebaoth is the house of Israel. He looked for judgement, but behold, festering; for righteousness, but behold, a cry. Isaiah 5:7.

'Looking for judgement' means intelligence springing from Divine Truth, and a life in accord with the commandments. In the same prophet,

On the throne there sat in truthfulness, in the tabernacle of David, one who judges and seeks judgement. Isaiah 16:5.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. 'The throne' on which He is going to sit means Divine Truth that emanates from Him, and consequently means the spiritual kingdom, see 2129, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039. 'Judging judgement' means teaching Divine Truth, and 'seeking judgement' people's acceptance of it.

[3] In the same prophet,

On that day Jehovah will be a tiara of beauty for the remnant of His people, and a spirit of judgement to him who sits in judgement. Isaiah 28:5-6.

'A tiara of beauty', when these words have reference to Jehovah, that is, the Lord, means Divine Intelligence, see above in 9827; and 'a spirit of judgement' means wisdom that springs from Divine Truth, 9818. 'To him who sits in judgement' means one who informs people about or teaches Divine Truth. In the same prophet,

Jehovah has filled Zion with judgement and righteousness. Isaiah 33:5.

'Zion' stands for the celestial Church, 'being filled with judgement' for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and 'being filled with righteousness' for wisdom that comes from Divine Good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah? With whom did He deliberate, that He might make Him intelligent, and instruct Him in the way of judgement, and teach Him knowledge, and show Him the way of intelligence? Isaiah 40:13-14.

'The Spirit of Jehovah' means Divine Truth, 9818. 'Instructing Him in the way of judgement' self-evidently means making him knowledgeable, intelligent, and wise. In Jeremiah,

The stork in the sky knows her appointed times, but Jehovah's people do not know the judgement of Jehovah. How can you say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Jeremiah 8:7-8.

'Not knowing the judgement of Jehovah' stands for ignorance of Divine Truth, the source of wisdom; and this is why it says, 'How can you say, We are wise?'

[5] In the same prophet,

Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without judgement! Jeremiah 22:13.

'Building upper rooms without judgement' stands for absorbing ideas that are not true. In Hosea,

I will betroth you to Me forever in righteousness and in judgement, and I will betroth you to Me in truth. Hosea 2:19-20.

'Betrothing in judgement' stands for joining by means of Divine Truth, thus by means of faith and the life of faith. In Amos,

Let judgement flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty torrent. Amos 5:24.

In the same prophet,

You have turned judgement into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. Amos 6:12.

Here also 'judgement' stands for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and for a life based on this.

[6] In Zephaniah,

Jehovah in the morning will bring His judgement to light. Zephaniah 3:5.

'Bringing judgement to light' stands for revealing Divine Truth. In Moses,

All the ways of Jehovah are judgement. Deuteronomy 32:4.

In David,

O Jehovah, Your truth reaches up to the skies, Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgements [like] the great abyss. Psalms 36:5-6.

In the same author,

Jehovah will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday. Psalms 37:6.

In the same author,

Hear my voice according to Your mercy; O Jehovah, revive me according to Your judgements. Psalms 119:149.

In these places 'judgement' and 'judgements' stand for Divine Truth.

[7] In Luke,

Woe to you Pharisees! You pass by the judgement and the love of God. These you ought to have done. Luke 11:42.

'Passing by the judgement of God' stands for shunning Divine Truth, and 'passing by the love of God' for shunning Divine Good and a life inspired by them both. The fact that this life is also meant accounts for their being told, These you ought to have done. In Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will be exalted in judgement, and God will be made holy in righteousness. Isaiah 5:16.

In the same author,

... upon the throne of David to establish the kingdom in judgement and in righteousness, from now and even for evermore. Isaiah 9:7.

In the same author,

Give counsel, execute judgement, set your shade like the night in the middle of the day. Isaiah 16:3.

'Executing judgement' stands for acting in accordance with God's truth.

[8] In Jeremiah,

I will raise up for David a righteous branch, who will execute judgement and righteousness in the land. Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15.

In Ezekiel,

If a man has been righteous, one who has executed judgement and righteousness ... [if he] walks in My statutes, and keeps My judgements, to execute truth, he is righteous; he will surely live. Ezekiel 18:5, 9.

In Zephaniah,

Seek Jehovah, O all the meek of the earth, who have executed His judgement. Zephaniah 2:3.

'Executing God's judgement' stands for carrying out Divine Truth or acting in accord with it. In Isaiah,

I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth judgement to the nations. He will not quench nor will He break until He has set judgement on the earth. Isaiah 42:1, 4.

This refers to the Lord. 'Bringing forth judgement to the nations' and 'setting judgement on the earth' stand for teaching Divine Truth and establishing it in the Church.

[9] In the same prophet,

Law will go out from Me, and I will raise up My judgement to be the light of peoples. Isaiah 51:4.

'Judgement' stands for Divine Truth, 'to be the light of peoples' for to bring enlightenment. In John,

For judgement I came 1 into this world, that those who do not see may see, but those who see may become blind. John 9:39.

'Coming into the world for judgement' stands for coming to reveal Divine Truth, which gives people vision if the Lord is the source of their wisdom, but makes them blind if they themselves are the source of it and on account of this are reputed to be learned.

[10] In Jeremiah,

Swear by the living Jehovah, in truth, in judgement, and in righteousness. Jeremiah 4:2.

In the same prophet,

There is none judging judgement for healthiness; you have no restorative medicaments. Jeremiah 30:13.

In David,

Righteousness and judgement are the support of Your throne; mercy and truth will stand firm before Your face. Psalms 89:14.

'Righteousness' stands for the good that belongs to mercy, and 'judgement' for the truth that belongs to faith, which is why the expression 'mercy and truth' is also used. In Ezekiel,

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands. Therefore I will execute in you [My] judgements in the eyes of the nations, and I will scatter all your remnant. Ezekiel 5:6-8, 10, 15.

'Changing judgements' stands for altering truths as they exist in the civic state, these truths being meant by 'judgements' when 'statutes' are also mentioned, see 8972. But 'executing judgements' means passing judgement that points to death, which is damnation, or to life, which is salvation. Salvation or damnation is also meant by 'judgement' when the expression 'day of judgement' or 'hour of judgement' is used, for example in Matthew 11:22, 24; 12:36, 41-42; Luke 10:14; 11:31-32; John 5:28-29; Revelation 14:7; 18:10. The same thing is also meant by 'judgement' when judgement-making is referred to, for example in Matthew 5:21-22; 7:1-2; 23:14, 33; John 5:24, 26-27; 7:24; 8:15-16; 12:31, 47-48; Luke 6:37; 12:13-14, 56-57; 19:21-22; 20:47; 22:30; Mark 12:40; Isaiah 3:14; 41:1; Jeremiah 25:31; 48:21; Joel 3:12; Psalms 7:7-8; 9:4, 7-8; Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 1:16-17; 25:1; Revelation 17:1; 18:10; 20:12-13.
