1 Tungkol sa mga anak ni Ammon. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon. Wala bagang mga anak ang Israel? wala ba siyang tagapagmana? bakit nga minamana ni Malcam ang Gad, at tumatahan ang kaniyang bayan sa mga bayan niyaon?

2 Kaya't, narito, ang mga kaarawan ay dumarating, sabi ng Panginoon, na aking iparirinig ang kaingay ng digmaan laban sa Rabba ng mga anak ng Ammon; at magiging isang gibang bunton, at ang kaniyang mga anak na babae ay masusunog ng apoy: kung magkagayo'y mga aariin ng Israel ang nagari sa kaniya, sabi ng Panginoon.

3 Tumangis ka, Oh Hesbon, sapagka't ang Hai ay nasamsaman; magsiiyak kayo, kayong mga anak na babae ng Rabba, kayo'y mangagbigkis ng kayong magaspang: kayo'y magsitaghoy, at magsitakbong paroo't parito sa gitna ng mga bakuran; sapagka't si Malcam ay papasok sa pagkabihag, ang kaniyang mga saserdote at ang kaniyang mga prinsipe na magkakasama.

4 Bakit ka nagpapakaluwalhati sa mga libis, ikaw na mainam na libis, Oh tumatalikod na anak na babae? na tumiwala sa kaniyang mga kayamanan, na kaniyang sinasabi, Sinong paririto sa akin?

5 Narito, sisidlan kita ng takot, sabi ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, mula sa lahat na nangasa buong palibot mo; at kayo'y mangatataboy bawa't isa na patuloy, at walang magiipon sa kanila na nagsisitakas.

6 Nguni't pagkatapos ay aking ibabalik na muli ang mga anak ni Ammon mula sa pagkabihag, sabi ng Panginoon.

7 Tungkol sa Edom. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo: Wala na baga ang karunungan sa Teman? nawala baga ang payo sa mabait? nawala baga ang kanilang karunungan?

8 Magsitakas kayo, magsibalik kayo, kayo'y magsitahan sa kalaliman, Oh mga nananahan sa Dedan; sapagka't aking dadalhin ang kapahamakan ng Esau sa kaniya, sa panahon na aking dadalawin siya.

9 Kung ang mga mangaani ng ubas ay magsidating sa iyo, hindi baga sila mangagiiwan ng mapupulot na mga ubas? kung mga magnanakaw sa gabi, hindi baga sila magsisigiba ng hanggang magkaroon ng kahustuhan?

10 Nguni't aking hinubdan ang Esau, aking inilitaw ang kaniyang mga kublihan, at siya'y hindi makapagkukubli: ang kaniyang mga binhi ay nasira, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang kaniyang mga kalapit, at siya'y wala na rin.

11 Iwan mo ang iyong mga ulilang anak, aking iingatan silang buhay: at magsitiwala sa akin ang iyong mga babaing bao.

12 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, silang hindi nangauukol magsiinom sa saro ay walang pagsalang magsisiinom; at ikaw baga'y yayaong lubos na walang parusa? ikaw ay hindi yayaon na walang parusa, kundi walang pagsalang iinom ka.

13 Sapagka't ako'y sumumpa sa pamamagitan ng aking sarili, sabi ng Panginoon, na ang Bosra ay magiging katigilan, kakutyaan, kasiraan, at kasumpaan; at ang lahat ng mga bayan niyaon ay magiging walang hanggang pagkasira.

14 Ako'y nakarinig ng mga balita na mula sa Panginoon, at isang sugo ay sinugo sa gitna ng mga bansa, na sinasabi, Kayo'y magpipisan, at magsiparoon laban sa kaniya, at magsibangon sa pakikipagbaka.

15 Sapagka't, narito, ginawa kitang maliit sa gitna ng mga bansa, at hinamak kita sa gitna ng mga tao.

16 Tungkol sa iyong mga kakilabutan, dinaya ka ng kapalaluan ng iyong puso, Oh ikaw na tumatahan sa mga bitak ng bato, na humahawak sa kaitaasan ng burol: bagaman iyong pataasin ang iyong pugad na kasingtaas ng aguila, aking ibababa ka mula roon, sabi ng Panginoon.

17 At ang Edom ay magiging katigilan: bawa't nagdaraan ay matitigilan, at susutsot dahil sa lahat ng salot doon.

18 Kung paano ang nangyari sa Sodoma at Gomorra, at sa mga kalapit bayan niyaon, sabi ng Panginoon, gayon walang lalake na tatahan doon, ni sinomang anak ng tao ay mangingibang bayan doon.

19 Narito, siya'y sasampa na parang leon mula sa kapalaluan ng Jordan laban sa matibay na tahanan: sapagka't bigla kong patatakbuhin siya mula roon; at ang mapili siya kong ihahalal sa kaniya: sapagka't sino ang gaya ko? at sinong nagtatakda sa akin ng panahon? at sino ang pastor na makatatayo sa harap ko?

20 Kaya't inyong dinggin ang payo ng Panginoon, na kaniyang ipinasiya laban sa Edom; at ang kaniyang mga panukala na kaniyang pinanukala laban sa mga nananahan sa Teman: Tunay na itataboy sila, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga maliit ng kawan; tunay na kaniyang ipapahamak ang kanilang tahanan kalakip nila.

21 Ang lupa ay nayayanig sa hugong ng kanilang pagkabuwal; may hiyawan, na ang ingay ay naririnig sa Dagat na Mapula.

22 Narito, siya'y sasampa at parang aguila na lilipad, at magbubuka ng kaniyang mga pakpak laban sa Bosra: at ang puso ng mga makapangyarihang lalake ng Edom sa araw na yaon ay magiging parang puso ng babae sa kaniyang pagdaramdam.

23 Tungkol sa Damasco. Ang Hamath ay napahiya, at ang Arphad; sapagka't sila'y nangakarinig ng mga masamang balita, sila'y nanganglulupaypay: may kapanglawan sa dagat; hindi maaaring tumahimik.

24 Ang Damasco ay humihina, siya'y tumatalikod upang tumakas, at panginginig ay humahawak sa kaniya: kalungkutan at mga kapanglawan ay sumapit sa kaniya na gaya sa babae sa pagdaramdam.

25 Ano't hindi pinabayaan ang bayan na kapurihan, ang bayan na aking kagalakan?

26 Kaya't ang kaniyang mga binata ay mangabubuwal sa kaniyang mga lansangan, at lahat ng lalake na mangdidigma ay mangadadala sa katahimikan sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.

27 At ako'y magsusulsol ng apoy sa kuta ng Damasco, at pupugnawin niyaon ang mga palacio ni Benhadad.

28 Tungkol sa Cedar, at sa mga kaharian ng Hasor na sinaktan ni Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Magsibangon kayo, magsisampa kayo sa Cedar, at inyong lipulin ang mga anak ng silanganan.

29 Ang kanilang mga tolda at ang kanilang mga kawan ay kanilang kukunin; kanilang kukunin para sa kanilang sarili ang kanilang mga tabing, at lahat nilang sisidlan, at ang kanilang mga kamelyo: at hihiyawan nila sila: Kakilabutan sa lahat ng dako!

30 Magsitakas kayo, gumala kayo ng malayo, magsitahan kayo sa kalaliman, Oh kayong mga nananahan sa Hasor, sabi ng Panginoon; sapagka't kumuhang payo si Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia laban sa inyo, at may ipinasiya laban sa inyo.

31 Magsibangon kayo, inyong sampahin ang bansang tiwasay, na tumatahang walang bahala, sabi ng Panginoon; na wala kahit pintuangbayan o mga halang man, na tumatahang magisa.

32 At ang kanilang mga kamelyo ay magiging samsam, at ang karamihan ng kanilang kawan ay samsam: at aking pangangalatin sa lahat ng hangin ang mga may gupit sa dulo ng kanilang buhok; at aking dadalhin ang kanilang kasakunaan na mula sa lahat nilang dako, sabi ng Panginoon.

33 At ang Hasor ay magiging tahanang dako ng mga chakal, sira magpakailan man: walang taong tatahan doon, ni sinomang anak ng tao ay mangingibang bayan doon.

34 Ang salita ng Panginoon na dumating kay Jeremias na propeta tungkol sa Elam sa pagpapasimula ng paghahari ni Sedechias na hari sa Juda, na nagsasabi,

35 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Narito, aking babaliin ang busog ng Elam, ang pinakapangulo ng kaniyang kapangyarihan.

36 At sa Elam ay dadalhin ko ang apat na hangin na mula sa apat na sulok ng langit, at aking pangangalatin sila sa lahat ng hanging yaon; at walang bansang hindi kararatingan ng mga tapon na mula sa Elam.

37 At aking panglulupaypayin ang Elam sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway, at sa harap ng nagsisiusig ng kanilang buhay; at ako'y magdadala ng kasamaan sa kanila, sa makatuwid baga'y ang aking mabangis na galit, sabi ng Panginoon; at aking ipahahabol sila sa tabak, hanggang sa malipol ko sila.

38 At aking ilalagay ang aking luklukan sa Elam, at aking lilipulin mula roon ang hari at mga prinsipe, sabi ng Panginoon.

39 At mangyayari sa mga huling araw, na aking ibabalik ang pagkabihag ng Elam, sabi ng Panginoon.

2686. That 'a bow' is the doctrine of faith is clear from its meaning. In the Word, wherever wars are the subject and wherever wars are mentioned, none but spiritual wars are meant in the internal sense, 1664. There were also in the Ancient Word 1 books that were entitled The Wars of Jehovah, as is clear in Moses, in Numbers 21:14-16. These, which were written in the prophetical style, possessed an internal sense and had as their subject the Lord's conflicts and temptations, and also the Church's conflicts and temptations, and those of members of the Church. This is evident from the fact that some things were selected by Moses from those books, as well as from other books of that Church which were called The Books of the Utterers of Prophecies, 2 referred to in Numbers 21:27-30, where almost the same words occur as in Jeremiah; compare Numbers 21:28 with Jeremiah 48:45. From this it may also be concluded that the Ancient Church had writings, historical and also prophetical, which were Divine and inspired and which in the internal sense had the Lord and His kingdom as their subject, and that for those people these writings were the Word as the historical and the prophetical books are for us, which in the sense of the letter have to do with the Jews and Israelites but in the internal sense with the Lord and with the things which are His.

[2] As in the Word, and also in the books of the Ancient Church, 'war' meant spiritual warfare, so all weapons such as the sword, spear, buckler, shield, arrows, shafts, and bows meant such things specifically as belong to the warfare that is meant in the spiritual sense. What is meant specifically by particular kinds of weapons will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated elsewhere. Here the meaning of 'the bow', namely the doctrine of truth, will be shown, and how this meaning is derived from arrows, shafts, or darts, which mean the things of doctrine from which and with which those in particular who are spiritual fight, who in former times were therefore called 'archers'.

[3] That 'the bow' means the doctrine of truth becomes clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

The arrows of Jehovah are sharp, and all His bows are bent. His horses' hoofs are considered as flint, and His wheels as the whirlwind. Isaiah 5:28.

This refers to the truths of doctrine. 'arrows' are spiritual truths, 'bows' doctrine, 'horses' hoofs' natural truths, 'wheels' their doctrine. It is because such things are meant by them that those objects are attributed to Jehovah, to whom they cannot be attributed except in the spiritual sense, otherwise they would be words that are empty and not appropriate. In Jeremiah,

The Lord has bent His bow like an enemy, He has stood with His right hand like a foe, and has slain all things pleasant to the eye in the tent of the daughter of Zion, He has poured out His anger like fire. Lamentations 2:4.

'Bow' stands for the doctrine of truth, which is seen by those immersed in falsities as a foe and hostile. No other kind of bow can be spoken of in reference to the Lord. In Habakkuk,

O Jehovah, You ride on Your horses, Your chariots are salvation, Your bow will be made quite bare. Habakkuk 3:8-9.

Here also 'bow' means the doctrine of good and truth. In Moses,

The archers will exasperate him and shoot at him and hate him. He will sit in the strength of his bow, and the arms of his hands will be made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob; from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel. Genesis 49:23-24.

This refers to Joseph, 'bow' standing for the doctrine of good and truth.

[4] In John,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given. Revelation 6:2.

'A white horse' stands for wisdom, 'he who sat on it' for the Word, as is made explicit in Revelation 19:13, where the white horse is referred to again. And because 'he who sat on it' is the Word it is clear that 'a bow' means the doctrine of truth. In Isaiah,

Who stirred up righteousness from the east, called him to be His follower, gave nations before Him, and caused Him to have dominion over kings? He made them as dust to His sword, as driven stubble to His bow. Isaiah 41:2.

This refers to the Lord, 'sword' standing for truth, 'bow' for doctrine derived from Him. In the same prophet,

I will set a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan. Isaiah 66:19.

'Those who draw the bow' stands for teachers of doctrine. For what Tarshish means, see 1156; Lud, 1195, 1231; Tubal, 1151; Javan, 1152, 1153, 1155.

[5] In Jeremiah, At the noise of the horseman and of him who wields the bow the whole city takes to flight. They have entered clouds and climbed up on rocks. The whole city has been forsaken. Jeremiah 4:29.

'The horseman' stands for those who declare the truth, 'the bow' for the doctrine of truth, which they flee from or fear who are immersed in falsities. In the same prophet,

Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about; O all you who bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrow, for she has sinned against Jehovah. Jeremiah 50:14, 29; 51:2-3.

Here 'those who shoot and bend the bow' stands for declarers and teachers of the doctrine of truth.

[6] In Zechariah,

I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be cut off, and He will speak peace to the nations. Zechariah 9:10.

'Ephraim' stands for the Church's understanding of truth, 'bow' for doctrine. In Samuel,

David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan, his son, and told [them] to teach the children of Judah the bow. 2 Samuel 1:17-18.

Here 'the bow' is not the subject but doctrinal matters regarding faith. In Ezekiel,

The Lord Jehovih has said, This is the day of which I have spoken, and those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, and they will make fires of and burn the weapons, both shield and buckler, bow and arrows, both hand-staff and spear; and they will make a fire of them for seven years. Ezekiel 39:8-9.

The weapons mentioned here are all weapons for spiritual war. 'Bow and arrows' stands for doctrine and its truths. Furthermore when truths themselves separated from goods are represented visually in the next life they are seen as arrows.

[7] Just as 'the bow' means the doctrine of truth, so in the contrary sense it means the doctrine of falsity. In the Word things like these nearly always have a contrary sense, as stated and shown in various places; as in Jeremiah,

Behold, a people coming from the land in the north, and a mighty nation will be stirred up from the furthest parts of the earth. They lay hold on bow and spear; it is cruel and they will have no pity. Their voice will roar like the sea, they will ride upon horses, every one set in array as a man for battle, against you, O daughter of Zion! Jeremiah 6:22-23.

Here 'bow' stands for the doctrine of falsity. In the same prophet,

Behold, a people coming from the north, a mighty nation, and many kings will be stirred up from the furthest parts of the earth. They have hold of bow and spear; they are cruel and have no pity. Jeremiah 50:41-42.

Here the meaning is similar. In the same prophet,

They bend their tongue; their bow is a bow of lies and not used for truth. They grow strong in the land, for they have gone on from evil to evil and do not know Me. Jeremiah 9:2-3.

'A bow', it is quite evident, means the doctrine of falsity, for it is said that 'they bend their tongue, their bow is a bow of lies and not for truth'.

[8] In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth has said, Behold, I am breaking the bow of Elam, the chief of its might. Jeremiah 49:35.

In David,

Come, behold the works of Jehovah who makes desolations in the earth, making wars cease even to the end of the earth, He breaks the bow, shatters the spear, and burns the chariots 3 with fire. Psalms 46:8-9.

In the same author,

In Judah God is known, in Israel His name is great, and in Salem will His tabernacle be, and His dwelling-place in Zion. There He broke the bow's fiery darts, the shield and the sword, and war. Psalms 76:1-3.

In the same author;

Behold, the wicked bend the bow, they prepare their shafts upon the string to shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart. Psalms 11:2.

Here 'bow and shafts' plainly stands for matters of doctrine concerning falsity.

22 Thus says Yahweh, "Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

23 They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion."
