1 Ang salita na dumating kay Jeremias tungkol sa buong bayan ng Juda nang ikaapat na taon ni Joacim na anak ni Josias, na hari sa Juda (siya ring unang taon ni Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia),

2 Na siyang sinalita ni Jeremias na propeta sa buong bayan ng Juda, at sa lahat ng nananahan sa Jerusalem, na sinasabi,

3 Mula nang ikalabing tatlong taon ni Josias na anak ni Ammon, na hari sa Juda, hanggang sa araw na ito, nitong dalawang pu't tatlong taon, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, at aking sinalita sa inyo na ako'y bumangong maaga, at nagsalita; nguni't hindi ninyo dininig.

4 At sinugo ng Panginoon sa inyo ang lahat niyang lingkod na mga propeta na gumising na maaga, at sinugo sila (nguni't hindi ninyo dininig, o ikiniling man ninyo ang inyong pakinig upang mangakinig),

5 Na nangagsasabi, Magsihiwalay bawa't isa sa inyo sa kanikaniyang masamang lakad, at sa kasamaan ng inyong mga gawa, at kayo'y magsitahan sa lupain na ibinigay ng Panginoon sa inyo at sa inyong mga magulang, mula nang una at hanggang sa magpakailan pa man;

6 At huwag kayong magsisunod sa ibang mga dios na mangaglingkod sa kanila, at magsisamba sa kanila, at huwag ninyo akong mungkahiin sa galit ng gawa ng inyong mga kamay, at hindi ko kayo sasaktan.

7 Gayon ma'y hindi kayo nangakinig sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon; upang mungkahiin ninyo ako sa galit, ng gawa ng inyong mga kamay sa inyong sariling ikapapahamak.

8 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Sapagka't hindi ninyo dininig ang aking mga salita,

9 Narito, ako'y magsusugo at kukunin ko ang lahat na angkan sa hilagaan, sabi ng Panginoon, at ako'y magsusugo kay Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, na aking lingkod, at aking dadalhin sila laban sa lupaing ito, at laban sa mga nananahan dito, at laban sa lahat ng bansang ito sa palibot; at aking lubos na lilipulin sila, at gagawin ko silang katigilan, at kasutsutan, at mga walang hanggang kagibaan.

10 Bukod dito'y aalisin ko sa kanila ang tinig ng kalayawan at ang tinig ng kasayahan, ang tinig ng kasintahang lalaki at ang tinig ng kasintahang babae, ang tunog ng mga batong gilingan, at ang liwanag ng ilawan.

11 At ang buong lupaing ito ay magiging sira, at katigilan; at ang mga bansang ito ay maglilingkod sa hari sa Babilonia na pitong pung taon.

12 At mangyayari, pagkaganap ng pitong pung taon, na aking parurusahan ang hari sa Babilonia, at ang bansang yaon, sabi ng Panginoon, dahil sa kaniyang kasamaan, at ang lupain ng mga Caldeo; at aking gagawing sira magpakailan man.

13 At aking gaganapin sa lupaing yaon ang lahat na aking salita na aking sinalita laban doon, lahat ng nakasulat sa aklat na ito, na inihula ni Jeremias laban sa lahat na bansa.

14 Sapagka't maraming bansa at mga dakilang hari ay paglilingkuran nila, nila nga; at gagantihan ko sila ayon sa kanilang mga kilos, at ayon sa gawa ng kanilang mga kamay.

15 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, sa akin, Abutin mo itong saro ng alak ng kapusukan sa aking kamay, at painumin mo ang lahat na bansa na pinagsuguan ko sa iyo.

16 At sila'y magsisiinom, at magsisihapay na paroo't parito, na mangauulol, dahil sa tabak na aking pasasapitin sa kanila.

17 Nang magkagayo'y inabot ko ang saro sa kamay ng Panginoon, at pinainom ko ang lahat na bansang pinagsuguan ng Panginoon:

18 Sa makatuwid, ang Jerusalem, at ang mga bayan ng Juda, at ang mga hari niyaon, at ang mga prinsipe niyaon, upang gawin silang kagibaan, katigilan, kasutsutan, at sumpa; gaya sa araw na ito;

19 Si Faraong hari sa Egipto, at ang kaniyang mga lingkod, at ang kaniyang mga prinsipe, at ang buong bayan niya;

20 At ang lahat ng halohalong bayan, at ang lahat ng hari sa lupain ng Hus, at ang lahat ng hari sa lupain ng mga Filisteo, at ang Ascalon, at ang Gaza, at ang Ecron, at ang nalabi sa Asdod;

21 Ang Edom, at ang Moab, at ang mga anak ni Ammon;

22 At ang lahat ng hari sa Tiro, at ang lahat ng hari sa Sidon, at ang hari sa pulo na nasa dako roon ng dagat;

23 Ang Dedan, at ang Tema, at ang Buz, at ang lahat ng magsisiputol ng mga laylayan ng kanilang buhok;

24 At ang lahat ng hari sa Arabia, at ang lahat ng hari sa halohalong bayan na nagsisitahan sa ilang;

25 At ang lahat ng hari sa Zimri, at ang lahat ng hari sa Elam, at ang lahat ng hari ng mga Medo;

26 At ang lahat ng hari sa hilagaan, malayo't malapit na isa't isa; at ang lahat ng kaharian sa sanglibutan, na nangasa ibabaw ng lupa: at ang hari sa Sesach ay magsisiinom pagkatapos nila.

27 At iyong sasabihin sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Dios ng Israel, Kayo'y magsiinom, at kayo'y mangagpakalasing, at kayo'y magsisuka, at mangabuwal, at huwag na kayong magsibangon, dahil sa tabak na aking pasasapitin sa inyo.

28 At mangyayari, kung tanggihan nilang abutin ang saro sa iyong kamay upang inuman, sasabihin mo nga sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Kayo'y walang pagsalang magsisiinom.

29 Sapagka't, narito, ako'y nagpapasimulang gumawa ng kasamaan sa bayang tinawag sa aking pangalan, at kayo baga'y lubos na hindi mapaparusahan? Kayo'y walang pagsalang parurusahan; sapagka't aking tatawagin ang tabak laban sa lahat ng nananahan sa lupa, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.

30 Kaya't ihula mo laban sa kanila ang lahat ng mga salitang ito, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Ang Panginoon ay uungol mula sa itaas, at ilalakas ang kaniyang tinig mula sa kaniyang banal na tahanan; siya'y uungol ng malakas laban sa kaniyang kulungan; siya'y hihiyaw, gaya nila na magsisiyapak ng ubas, laban sa lahat na nananahan sa lupa.

31 Ang ingay ay darating hanggang sa wakas ng lupa; sapagka't ang Panginoon ay may pakikipagpunyagi sa mga bansa, siya'y papasok sa paghatol sa lahat ng tao; tungkol sa masasama ay kaniyang ibibigay sila sa tabak, sabi ng Panginoon.

32 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Narito, kasamaan ay mangyayari sa bansa at bansa, at malakas na bagyo ay ibabangon mula sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng lupa.

33 At ang mapapatay ng Panginoon sa araw na yao'y magiging mula sa isang dulo ng lupa hanggang sa kabilang dulo ng lupa: sila'y hindi tataghuyan, o dadamputin man, o ililibing man; sila'y magiging dumi sa ibabaw ng lupa.

34 Kayo'y magsiangal, kayong mga pastor, at kayo'y magsihiyaw; at kayo'y mangagsigumon sa abo, kayong pinakamainam sa kawan; sapagka't ang mga kaarawan ng pagpatay at ang pangangalat sa inyo ay lubos na dumating, at kayo'y mangababagsak na parang mainam na sisidlan.

35 At ang mga pastor ay walang daang tatakasan, o tatanan man ang pinakamainam sa kawan.

36 Tinig ng hiyaw ng mga pastor, at ng angal ng pinakamainam sa kawan! sapagka't inilalagay ng Panginoon na sira ang kanilang pastulan.

37 At ang mga payapang tahanan ay nangadala sa katahimikan dahil sa mabangis na galit ng Panginoon.

38 Kaniyang pinabayaan ang kaniyang kublihan na gaya ng leon; sapagka't ang kanilang lupain ay naging katigilan dahil sa kabangisan ng mamimighating tabak, at dahil sa kaniyang mabangis na kagalitan.

9548. 'And you shall make a lampstand' means the spiritual heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'a lampstand' as the Divine Spiritual from the Lord in heaven and in the Church. The reason why 'a lampstand' means the Divine Spiritual is that 'the table' on which the loaves of the Presence were laid means the Divine Celestial, as has been shown in what has gone before. The Divine Celestial is the good of love, and the Divine Spiritual the truth of faith derived from that good; and both of these emanate from the Lord, 9227. The lampstand is the Divine Spiritual on account of the light it sheds; for Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord's Divine Good is what shines in heaven. There is no other source from which angels receive light. This is why in the Word the Lord is called the Light, and why 'light' means faith, also an intelligent understanding of truth and a wise discernment of good, which come from the Lord alone, see 1053, 1521-1533, 1619-1632, 2776, 3094, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3222, 3223, 3337, 3339, 3341, 3636, 3643, 3862, 3993, 4060, 4180, 4302, 4408, 4414, 4415, 4419, 4527, 4598, 5400, 6032, 6313, 6315, 6608, 6907, 7174, 8644, 8707, 8861, 9399, 9407.

[2] 'A lampstand' means the spiritual heaven by virtue of Divine Truth which is present there from the Lord, and therefore also means the Church; and 'a lamp' means faith, also an intelligent understanding of truth and a wise discernment of good, which come from the Lord alone. This is clear from places in the Word where 'lampstand' and 'lamp' are mentioned, as in John,

I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man. The seven lampstands are the seven Churches. Revelation 1:12-13, 20.

And in the same book,

I will remove your lampstand from its place if you do not repent. Revelation 2:5.

A Church is called 'a lampstand' in these places by virtue of Divine Truth which is present there from the Lord. The fact that 'a lampstand' means a Church is self-evident, for it says, 'The seven lampstands are the seven Churches'. The fact that a Church is called such on account of Divine Truth is evident from the statement, 'I will remove your lampstand if you do not repent'. And the fact that this Truth comes from the Lord [is also self-evident], for it says, 'In the midst of the lampstands one like the Son of Man'; and the Lord is called the Son of Man by virtue of His Divine Truth, see 2803, 2813, 3704.

[3] In the same book,

I will grant My two witnesses to prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. Revelation 11:3-10.

'The two witnesses' are the Word in both Testaments, in that they bear witness to the Lord. It is called 'an olive tree' by virtue of the Divine Good and 'a lampstand' by virtue of the Divine Truth which come from the Lord.

[4] In Zechariah, when the angel who was speaking said to the prophet,

What do you see? I said to him, I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold; its bowl is on top of it, 1 and its seven lamps are on it with seven pipes to the lamps. Two olive trees are beside it, one on the right of the bowl and one on the left of it. Zechariah 4:2-3.

This refers to Zerubbabel, who was about to lay a foundation for God's house and bring it to completion. He represents the Lord, in that He was about to come and to re-establish the spiritual heaven and the Church, these being what is meant by 'a lampstand', and the holy truths there what is meant by 'seven lamps'.

[5] The fact that 'a lamp' means faith, also an intelligent understanding of truth and a wise discernment of good, which come from the Lord alone, is clear in John,

The holy Jerusalem has no need of the sun or of the moon to shed light in it. The glory of God will give it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations that are saved will walk in His light. Revelation 21:23-24.

And further on,

There will be no night there, nor do they need a lamp or light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. Revelation 22:5.

'Lamp' in the first quotation stands for Divine Truth that comes from the Lord, and 'light' for faith, and so also for intelligence and wisdom. In the same book,

The light of a lamp will not shine in you any more, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will not be heard in you any more. Revelation 18:23.

[6] And in Jeremiah,

I will take away the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of mills, and the light of the lamp, that the whole land may be a desolation and devastation. Jeremiah 25:10-11.

This refers to the elimination of faith and consequently of intelligence in spiritual matters meant here by the lamp which will no longer be there and by 'the light of the lamp' which will be taken away.

[7] The like occurs in Job,

How often is the lamp of the wicked put out and [how often] does destruction come upon them? Job 21:17.

In David,

You light my lamp; Jehovah my God makes my darkness bright. Psalms 18:28; 2 Samuel 22:29.

In the same author,

By Your commands I have been made intelligent. Your Word is a lamp to my foot, and a light to my path. Psalms 119:104-105.

In Job,

When God causes a lamp to shine over my head I would walk in darkness towards His light. Job 29:3.

In Matthew,

The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is evil your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23; Luke 8:16; 11:33-36.

'The eye' is used here to mean faith and consequent intelligence - the fact that these are meant in the internal sense by 'the eye', see 4403-4421, 4523-4534, 9051. And from this the meaning of the words, 'If your eye is good your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is evil your whole body will be full of darkness' is self-evident. Since faith and consequent intelligence and wisdom is meant by 'a lamp' the kings of Judah are called lamps to David, 1 Kings 11:36; 15:4; 2 Kings 8:19; and David himself is called the lamp of Israel, 2 Samuel 21:16-17. Not that the kings of Judah were lamps; nor was David. Rather they were called such because 'a king' means Divine Truth that comes from the Lord, 6148, and 'David' the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, the source of faith, intelligence, and wisdom, 1888.

1 God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."

2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

3 Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."

4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn't pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel." He named him Israel.

11 God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land."

13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him "Bethel."

16 They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for now you will have another son."

18 It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22 It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 The sons of Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

26 The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
