1 Opet mi dođe reč Gospodnja govoreći:

2 Sine čovečji, pokaži Jerusalimu gadove njegove,

3 I reci: Ovako veli Gospod Gospod Jerusalimu: Postanjem i rodom ti si iz zemlje hananske; otac ti beše Amorejac a mati Hetejka.

4 A o rođenju tvom, kad si se rodila, nije ti pupak odrezan i nisi okupana vodom da bi bila čista, niti si solju natrvena ni pelenama povita.

5 Oko te ne požali da ti učini šta od toga i da ti se smiluje: Nego ti bi bačena u polje, jer beše mrska duša tvoja onog dana kad si se rodila.

6 I idući mimo tebe i videvši te gde se valjaš u svojoj krvi, rekoh ti: Da si živa u svojoj krvi! I opet ti rekoh: Da si živa u svojoj krvi!

7 I učinih da rasteš na hiljade kao trava u polju; i ti naraste i posta velika i dođe do najveće lepote; dojke ti napupiše, i dlake te probiše; ali ti beše gola naga.

8 I idući mimo tebe pogledah te, i gle, godine ti behu godine za ljubljenje; i raširih skut svoj na te, i pokrih golotinju tvoju, i zakleh ti se i učinih veru s tobom, govori Gospod Gospod, i ti posta moja.

9 I okupah te vodom, i sprah s tebe krv tvoju, i pomazah te uljem.

10 I obukoh ti vezenu haljinu, i obuh ti crevlje od jazavca, i opasah te tankim platnom i zastreh te svilom.

11 I nakitih te nakitom, i metnuh ti narukvice na ruke i grivnu oko vrata.

12 I grivnu oko čela metnuh ti, i oboce u uši, slavan venac na glavu.

13 I ti beše okićena zlatom i srebrom, i odelo ti beše od tankog platna i od svile i vezeno, jeđaše belo brašno i med i ulje, i beše vrlo lepa, i prispe do carstva.

14 I raziđe se glas o tebi po narodima radi lepote tvoje, jer beše savršena krasotom mojom, koju metnuh na te, govori Gospod Gospod.

15 Ali se ti osloni na lepotu svoju, i prokurva se s glasa svog, te si prosipala kurvarstvo svoje svakome koji prolažaše, i bivala si njegova.

16 I uzevši od haljina svojih načinila si šarene visine, i kurvala si se na njima, kako nikada nije bilo niti će biti.

17 I uzevši krasni nakit svoj od mog zlata i od mog srebra što ti dadoh, načinila si sebi muške likove, i kurvala si se s njima.

18 I uzevši vezene haljine svoje zaodela si ih, i ulje moje i kad moj stavila si pred njih.

19 I hleb moj, koji ti dadoh, belo brašno i ulje i med, čim te hranjah, postavila si pred njih za miris ugodni. Tako je bilo, govori Gospod Gospod.

20 I uzimala si sinove svoje i kćeri svoje koje si rodila, i njih si im prinosila da se spale. Malo li beše kurvarstva tvog,

21 Te si i sinove moje klala i davala si ih da im se provedu kroz oganj?

22 I uza sve gadove svoje i kurvarstva svoja nisi se opominjala dana mladosti svoje kad si bila gola i naga i valjala se u krvi svojoj.

23 I posle sve zloće svoje, (Teško, teško tebi! Govori Gospod Gospod,)

24 Sagradila si sebi kuću kurvarsku, i načinila si sebi visine na svakoj ulici,

25 Na svakoj rasputici načinila si sebi visinu, i nagrdila si svoju lepotu, i razmetala si noge svoje svakome koji prolažaše, i umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje.

26 Kurvala si se sa sinovima misirskim, susedima svojim velikog tela, i umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje da bi me razgnevila.

27 Zato gle, digoh ruku svoju na te i umalih obrok tvoj, i dadoh te na volju nenavidnicima tvojim, kćerima filistejskim, koje beše stid od sramotnog puta tvog.

28 Kurvala si se sa sinovima asirskim, jer se ne mogaše nasititi; kurvala si se s njima, i opet se nisi nasitila.

29 I umnožila si kurvarstvo svoje u zemlji hananskoj sve do haldejske, i ni tako se nisi nasitila.

30 Kako je iznemoglo srce tvoje, govori Gospod Gospod, kad činiš sve što čini najgora kurva,

31 Kad si gradila kurvarsku kuću na svakoj rasputici i činila visinu na svakoj ulici! A ni kao kurva nisi, jer nisi marila za platu;

32 Nego kao žena preljubočinica, koja mesto muža svog prima druge.

33 Svim kurvama daje se plata, a ti si davala platu svim milosnicama svojim i darivala si ih da dolaze k tebi sa svih strana da se kurvaju s tobom.

34 I tako je u tebe naopako prema ženama u tvom kurvarstvu: Jer niko ne ide za tobom da se kurva, i ti daješ platu, a ne daje se tebi plata; to je naopako.

35 Zato, kurvo, čuj reč Gospodnju.

36 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Što se otrov tvoj prosu, i što se u kurvanju tvom otkrivala golotinja tvoja tvojim milosnicima i svim gadnim idolima tvojim, i za krv sinova tvojih, koje si im dala,

37 Zato, evo, ja ću skupiti sve milosnike tvoje, s kojima si se milovala, i sve koje si ljubila, i sve na koje si mrzela, skupiću ih sve oko tebe, i otkriću im golotinju tvoju da vide svu golotinju tvoju.

38 I sudiću ti kako se sudi onima koje čine preljubu i onima koje krv prolivaju, i daću te na smrt gnevu i revnosti.

39 I predaću te u njihove ruke, te će razoriti tvoju kuću kurvarsku i raskopati visine tvoje, i svući će haljine s tebe, i uzeće ti krasni nakit i ostaviće te golu nagu.

40 I dovešće na te ljudstvo, te će te zasuti kamenjem, i izbošće te mačevima svojim.

41 I popaliće kuće tvoje ognjem, i izvršiće na tebi sud pred mnogim ženama, i učiniću te ćeš se okaniti kurvanja i nećeš više davati plate.

42 I namiriću gnev svoj nad tobom, i revnost će se moja ukloniti od tebe, i umiriću se, i neću se više gneviti.

43 Zato što se nisi opominjala dana mladosti svoje, nego si me dražila svim tim, zato, evo, i ja ću obratiti put tvoj na tvoju glavu, govori Gospod Gospod, te nećeš činiti grdila niti kakvih gadova svojih.

44 Gle, ko god govori priče, govoriće o tebi priču, i reći će: Kakva mati, takva joj kći.

45 Ti si kći matere svoje, koja se odmetnula od muža svog i dece svoje, i sestra si sestara svojih, koje se odmetnuše od muževa svojih i dece svoje, mati vam je Hetejka a otac Amorejac.

46 A starija ti je sestra Samarija s kćerima svojim, koja ti sedi s leve strane, a mlađa ti je sestra koja ti sedi s desne strane Sodom sa kćerima svojim.

47 A ti ni njihovim putem nisi hodila, niti si činila po njihovim gadovima, kao da ti to beše malo, nego si bila gora od njih na svim putevima svojim.

48 Tako ja živ bio, govori Gospod Gospod, sestra tvoja Sodom i kćeri njene nisu činile kako si činila ti i tvoje kćeri.

49 Evo, ovo beše bezakonje sestre tvoje Sodoma: U ponosu, u izobilju hleba i bezbrižnom miru beše ona i kćeri njene, a ne pomagahu siromahu i ubogom;

50 Nego se ponašahu i činjahu gadove preda mnom, za to ih zatrh kad videh.

51 Samarija nije zgrešila pola koliko ti, jer si počinila gadova svojih više nego one, te si opravdala sestre svoje svim gadovima svojim koje si učinila.

52 I ti dakle, koja si sudila sestrama svojim, nosi sramotu svoju za grehe svoje, kojima si postala grđa od njih; one su pravednije od tebe; i ti se dakle stidi i nosi sramotu, kad si opravdala sestre svoje.

53 Ako dovedeš natrag njihovo roblje, roblje sodomsko i kćeri njene, i roblje samarijsko i kćeri njene, dovešću i tvoje roblje iz ropstva među njima.

54 Da nosiš sramotu svoju i da se stidiš za sve što si činila, i da im budeš uteha.

55 Ako se sestre tvoje, Sodom i kćeri njene povrate kao što su bile, i ako se Samarija i kćeri njene povrate kao što su bile, povratićeš se i ti i kćeri tvoje kao što ste bile.

56 Jer usta tvoja ne pominjaše Sodom, sestru tvoju, u vreme oholosti tvoje,

57 Pre nego se otkri zloća tvoja kao u vreme sramote od kćeri sirskih i od svih što su oko njih, kćeri filistejskih, koje te sramoćahu sa svih strana.

58 Nosi nevaljalstvo svoje i gadove svoje, govori Gospod.

59 Jer ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Učiniću ti kako si ti učinila prezrevši zakletvu i prestupivši zavet.

60 Ali ću se ja opomenuti zaveta svog koji sam učinio s tobom u vreme mladosti tvoje, i utvrdiću ti večan zavet.

61 Tada ćeš se opomenuti puteva svojih i postidećeš se kad primiš sestre svoje starije od sebe i mlađe, koje ću ti dati za kćeri, ali ne po tvom zavetu.

62 I ja ću utvrditi zavet svoj s tobom, i poznaćeš da sam ja Gospod,

63 Da se opomeneš i postidiš i da ne otvoriš više usta od sramote, kad ti oprostim sve što si učinila, govori Gospod Gospod

576. Having breastplates fiery, hyacinthine, and brimstone-like, signifies reasonings combating from the cupidities of the love of self and of the world, and from the falsities therefrom. This is evident from the signification of breastplates, as being armor for war, and in particular, defenses in combats (of which above, n. 557; also from the signification of "fire or fiery," as being the cupidity of the love of self, and thence of all evil (See above, n. 504; also from the signification of "hyacinth or hyacinthine," as being the cupidity of the love of the world and thus of all falsity (of which presently); and from the signification of "brimstone or brimstone-like," as being the lust of destroying the goods and truths of the church by falsities of evil see below, n. 578, here meaning falsity burning from these two loves. From this it can be seen that "breastplates fiery, hyacinthine, and brimstone-like," signify reasonings combating from the cupidities of the loves of self and of the world, and from the falsities from those loves.

[2] In regard to "hyacinthine," it signifies in the spiritual sense the heavenly love of truth, but in the contrary sense the diabolical love of falsity, and also love of the world; as can be seen from its being of the color of heaven, and that color signifies truth from a heavenly origin, so in the contrary sense, falsity from a diabolical origin. In the spiritual world the choicest colors appear; and these have their origin in good and truth; for colors there are modifications of heavenly light, thus of the intelligence and wisdom, that are with the angels in heaven. This is why hyacinthine, purple, and scarlet double-dyed were interwoven in the curtains of the tabernacle and in the garments of Aaron; for the tabernacle represented the heaven of the Lord, and the garments of Aaron the Divine truth of heaven and the church, and those things of which the tabernacle was constructed, and of which the garments of Aaron were woven, represented celestial and spiritual things, which are of Divine good and Divine truth.

[3] Thus:

The veil before the ark was of hyacinthine, purple, and scarlet double-dyed, and fine twined linen (See Exodus 26:31).

Likewise the screen for the door of the tent (verse 36).

And the screen for the entrance of the court (Exodus 27:16).

The loops on the edge of the curtain of the tent were hyacinthine (Exodus 26:4);

The ephod was of gold, hyacinthine, purple, and scarlet double-dyed interwoven (Exodus 28:6);

And also the breastplate of judgment (verse 15);

When the camp set forward in the wilderness, Aaron and his sons spread a cloth of hyacinthine over the ark, over the table of faces, over the lampstand and the lamps, over the golden altar, and over all the vessels of ministry (Numbers 4:6, 7, 9, 11, 12).

This is because Divine truth proceeding from Divine love, which is signified by "the cloth of hyacinthine," embraces and protects all the holy things of heaven and the church, which the things covered represent.

[4] Because "hyacinthine" signified the celestial love of truth, it was commanded:

That the sons of Israel should make for themselves a fringe in the borders of their garments, and should put on it a cord of hyacinthine, that in looking upon it they might remember all the commandments of Jehovah and do them (Numbers 15:38, 39).

Here "the cord of hyacinthine" stands evidently for the remembrance of the commandments of Jehovah; the commandments of Jehovah are the essential truths of heaven and the church, and these are remembered only by such as are in a celestial love of truth.

[5] That "hyacinthine" signifies the love of truth can be seen from the following in Ezekiel:

Fine linen in broidered work from Egypt was thy spreading forth, to be for thy ensign; hyacinthine and purple from the isles of Elishah was thy covering. These were thy traffickers with choice wares, with bales of hyacinthine and broidered work, and with treasures of precious garments (Ezekiel 27:7, 24).

This is said of Tyre, which signifies the church in respect to the knowledges of truth; so, too, it signifies the knowledges of truth belonging to the church, and her "merchandise and tradings" mentioned in this chapter describe the acquisition of intelligence by means of such knowledges; "broidered work from Egypt" signifies the knowledge [scientia] of such things as are of the church; and because this has a lower place, and is thus round about or without, it is called "a spreading forth," and is said to be "for an ensign." "Hyacinthine and purple from the isles of Elishah" signify the spiritual affection of truth and good; therefore these are said to be "for a covering," a "covering" signifying truth. "Bales of hyacinthine and broidered work" signify all truths, spiritual and natural, and these together with the knowledges from the Word are meant by "the treasures of precious garments."

[6] As "hyacinthine" signifies the heavenly love of truth, so in the contrary sense it signifies the diabolical love of falsity; and in that sense also "hyacinthine" is mentioned in the Word. Thus in Ezekiel:

Two women, the daughters of one mother, committed whoredom in Egypt in their youth. Oholah which is Samaria, and Oholibah which is Jerusalem. And Oholah committed whoredom while under me, and she doted on her lovers, the Assyrians her neighbors, which were clothed in hyacinthine, governors and rulers, all of them young men of desire, horsemen riding upon horses (Ezekiel 23:2-6).

Here "Samaria" and "Jerusalem" signify the church, "Samaria" the spiritual church, and "Jerusalem" the celestial church, which are called "Oholah" and "Oholibah" because these names mean a "tent," and a "tent" signifies the church in respect to worship; "woman" also in the Word signifies the church; "they committed whoredom in Egypt" signifies the falsification of the truths of the church by the knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man; "she doted on the Assyrians" signifies the falsification by reasonings from those knowledges [scientifica]; "Asshur and Assyria" signify reasonings; they are said to be "clothed in hyacinthine" by reason of fallacies and falsities, which in external form appear to be truths because they are from the sense of the letter of the Word wrongly applied. And because of this same appearance they are also called "governors and rulers, young men of desire, riding upon horses," for those who reason from self-intelligence appear to themselves and to others of like character to be intelligent and wise, and the things they speak to be truths of intelligence and goods of wisdom, when yet they are falsities which they love because they are from what is their own [proprium]; "governors and rulers" signify principal truths, and "those riding upon horses" signify the intelligent.

[7] In Jeremiah:

Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman and of the hands of the refiner; their garments 1 are hyacinthine and purple; all are the work of the wise (Jeremiah 10:9).

This treats of the idols of the house of Israel, which signify doctrinals that are false, because they are from self-intelligence; therefore they are called "the work of the workman and of the hands of the refiner, and all the work of the wise," and this because these doctrinals appear to them to be truths and goods; "silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz," signifies what appears in external form to be truth and good, because from the sense of the letter of the Word. From this it can be seen that "hyacinthine" signifies the love of what is false because it is from self [proprium] or from self-intelligence. "Hyacinthine" also signifies the love of the world, because the love of the world corresponds to the love of falsity, as the love of self, which is signified by "fire," corresponds to the love of evil; for all evil is from the love of self, and all falsity is from the love of the world which has its origin in the love of self; for spiritual evil, which is meant by the love of the world, is in its essence falsity, as spiritual good is in its essence truth (See in the work on Heaven and Hell 15).
