1 Og Herrens ord kom til mig, og det lød så:

2 Menneskesønn! Spå mot Israels profeter, som gir sig av med å spå, og si til dem som spår efter sitt eget hjerte: Hør Herrens ord!

3 sier Herren, Israels Gud: Ve over de dårlige profeter, som følger sin egen ånd og syner som de ikke har sett!

4 Som rever blandt ruiner er dine profeter, Israel!

5 I er ikke steget op i murbruddene og har ikke bygget nogen mur om Israels hus, så de kunde holde stand i striden på Herrens dag.

6 Deres syner var tomhet, og deres spådommer løgn, de som sier: Så sier Herren, enda Herren ikke har sendt dem, og som håper på at deres ord skal bli stadfestet.

7 Er det ikke tomme syner I har skuet, og løgnaktige spådommer I har uttalt? I sier: Så sier Herren, enda jeg ikke har talt.

8 Derfor sier Herren, Israels Gud, så: Fordi I taler tomhet og skuer løgn, se, derfor vil jeg komme over eder, sier Herren, Israels Gud.

9 Og min hånd skal være imot de profeter som skuer tomhet og spår løgn; i mitt folks råd skal de ikke være, og i Israels folks bok skal de ikke skrives, og til Israels land skal de ikke komme, og I skal kjenne at jeg er Herren, Israels Gud,

10 fordi, ja fordi de har ført mitt folk vill og sagt: Fred! - enda det ikke er nogen fred. Når folket bygger en vegg, se, da stryker de den over med kalk.

11 Si til kalkstrykerne at den vil falle; det kommer et skyllregn, og I haglstener skal falle, og en stormvind skal bryte inn.

12 Når så veggen er falt, vil det da ikke bli sagt til eder: Hvor er kalken som I strøk den over med?

13 Derfor sier Herren, Israels Gud, så: Ja, jeg vil i min harme la en stormvind bryte inn, og i min vrede la det komme et skyllregn og i min harme haglstener, så alt blir ødelagt.

14 Og jeg vil rive ned veggen som I har strøket over med kalk, og la den styrte til jorden, så dens grunnvoll blir lagt bar; når staden* faller. skal I omkomme midt i den, og I skal kjenne at jeg er Herren. / {* d.e. Jerusalem.}

15 Og jeg vil uttømme min harme på veggen og på dem som strøk den over med kalk, og jeg vil si til eder: Veggen er ikke mere til, heller ikke de som strøk den over,

16 Israels profeter, som spådde om Jerusalem og skuet fredssyner for det, enda det ikke er nogen fred, sier Herren, Israels Gud.

17 Og du menneskesønn! Vend ditt ansikt mot ditt folks døtre, som spår efter sitt eget hjerte, og spå mot dem

18 og si: Så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Ve dem som syr dekker over alle ledd på mine hender og gjør hetter til hodet på folk efter enhvers høide for å fange sjeler! Mitt folks sjeler fanger I, og eders egne sjeler holder I i live.

19 Og I vanhelliger mig hos mitt folk for nogen håndfull bygg og for nogen stykker brød, for å drepe sjeler som ikke skal , og for å holde sjeler i live som ikke skulde leve, idet I lyver for mitt folk, som gjerne hører på løgn.

20 Derfor sier Herren, Israels Gud, så: Se, jeg vil ta fatt i eders dekker som I fanger sjelene med likesom fugler, og jeg vil rive dem bort fra eders armer, og de sjeler som I fanger, dem vil jeg la slippe fri som fugler.

21 Og jeg vil sønderrive eders hetter og utfri mitt folk av eders hånd, og de skal ikke mere være et bytte i eders hånd, og I skal kjenne at jeg er Herren.

22 Fordi I ved løgn gjør den rettferdiges hjerte motløst, uten at jeg har bedrøvet ham, og styrker den ugudeliges hender, så han ikke vender om fra sin onde vei, og jeg kan la ham leve,

23 derfor skal I ikke mere skue tomhet eller spå falske spådommer, og jeg vil utfri mitt folk av eders hånd, og I skal kjenne at jeg er Herren.

58. The state of consummation of the Israelitish Church is described in both the historical parts of the Word, and its prophetic parts: in the prophetic, by the atrocious deeds of the kings, first of those of the Israelites, and afterwards of those of the Jews, by whom and under whom the land is said to have been profaned. But it is needless to recite them, because they are well known; only those passages from the prophetic parts shall be adduced in which the consummation and devastation of that Church are treated of. In these passages by "earth" and "land," "Zion," "Jerusalem," "cities," "mountains," "hills," "valleys," and "rivers," similar things are signified as above (n. 55). The following are from the prophetic parts of the Word:

[2] I saw the earth, and behold it was empty and void; and towards the heavens, and their light was not.... I saw, when, behold, Carmel 1 was a desert, and all the cities were desolated at the presence of Jehovah.... For thus hath Jehovah said, The whole land shall be wasteness, yet will I not make a consummation. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be blackened.

Thou, therefore, that art vastated, what wilt thou do? (Jer. 4:23-31; 5:10, 18).

The lion hath come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of nations... hath gone forth from his place, to reduce the land to a waste.... In that day... the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished (Jer. 4:7, 9).

In that day, every place where there were a thousand vines shall be... for thorns and briars,... because all the land shall be thorns and briars (Isa. 7:23-24).

A voice of the cry of the shepherds and... of the powerful ones of the flock, for Jehovah layeth waste their pastures: whence the sheepfolds of peace were devastated. Jehovah hath forsaken His tabernacle, for their land was reduced to a desolation (Jer. 25:36-38).

This house shall be like Shiloh, and Jerusalem shall be a devastation (Jer. 26:9; 27:17).

Jerusalem, and all the cities of Judah, shall be a desolation and a devastation in this day, because of the wickedness of your works; . . . your land is become a desolation, an astonishment and a curse (Jer. 44:2, 6, 22).

I will give the land to devastation, because they have committed transgression (Ezek. 15:8).

They shall be devastated in the midst of the devastated lands, and her cities in the midst of the desolated cities.... Then I will make the rivers drought,... the land into the hand of the evil, and I will vastate the land and the fulness thereof (Ezek. 30:7, 12).

When I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heavens, and will make the stars thereof black. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine;... and I will set darkness upon the land... when I shall bring on thy breaking up (Ezek. 32:7-9);

in like manner as the Lord foretold concerning the consummation of the present Christian Church (Matt. 24:29).

[3] I will give Mount Seir to wasteness and to devastation.... I will make thee the wastes of eternity... (Ezek. 35:3-4, 7, 9, 12, 14-15).

In that day they shall bring up a proverb against you... and say, In vastating we are vastated (Micah 2:4).

Fear and the pit have taken hold of us, devastation and breaking up (Lam. 3:47).

The mountain of Zion is vastated (Lam. 5:18).

Thine iniquity is consummated, O daughter of Zion (Lam. 4:22).

Woe to the sinful nation, heavy with iniquity;... they have provoked the Holy One of Israel.... From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness;... your land is a solitude.... The daughter of Zion is left as a tent in a vineyard, as a besieged city (Isa. 1:4-8, and following verses).

What will ye do in the day of visitation and devastation? Consummation is finished, justice is overwhelmed; for the Lord Jehovih is making a consummation and decision in the whole land (Isa. 10:3, etc., Isa. 10:22-23).

I have heard a consummation and decision from the Lord Jehovih of hosts in the whole land (Isa. 28:22).

The prophet fell upon his face, and said, Lord Jehovih! Thou art making a consummation with the remnants of Israel (Ezek. 11:13).

My sanctuary was profaned, and the land of Israel was devastated (Ezek. 25:3).

Were even Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst of it,... they only shall be delivered, but the land shall become a desolation (Ezek. 14:14, 16).

[4] The completion of the consummation of the Israelitish and Jewish Church was accomplished when the Lord our Saviour, after receiving the sponge of vinegar, cried out upon the cross,

It is consummated (John 19:29-30);

for it is said in David:

They gave gall for My meat, and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink:... let their habitation be devastated (Psalm 69:21, 25).

And in another place:

Without cause have they hid for Me the pit of the net; without cause have they digged for My soul. Let devastation come upon him before he is aware;... let him fall into devastation. Rescue My soul from their devastators, and My only one,-that is, the Church-from the lions' whelps (Psalm 35:7-8, 17).

I will make Jerusalem heaps, a habitation of dragons; I will reduce the cities of Judah to a waste;... behold, I am feeding them, even this people, with wormwood, and I will give them waters of gall to drink (Jer. 9:11-15).

Full consummation, after this, is described in Hosea thus:

The sons of Israel shall sit many days: no king, no prince, no sacrifice, no image, no ephod, and no teraphim (Hosea 3:4).

Such is their state at the present day. There is no need to adduce more passages. The passages in which the vastation, desolation and consummation of this Church are further mentioned, shall be only named: as, for example, Isa. 9:13-21; 22:4-14: Jer. 7:31-34; 25:33; 47:4: Ezek. 13:14-15; 14:8, 15; 19:7; 25:12-13; 26:2; 29:9-10, 12; 32:12, 15: Joel 1:15-20; 2:3; 3:19: Nahum 1:8-9: Zeph. 1:15; 2:9: Lam. 1:16: Psalm 73:17-19; 74:3.

The devastated are also called "thrust through" 2 (Ezek. 11:6-7; 21:30, 34; 26:6; 28:8, 23; 31:17-18; 32:20-24, 28-32; 35:8: Zeph. 2:12: Lam. 4:9: Psalm 69:27: and in other places). They are said to be "thrust through" because a "sword," by which this is done, signifies falsity destroying truth.

脚注:

1. See R.V. margin.

2. In most of these passages our ordinary Bibles have "slain"; but Young's Literal Translation of the Bible has "pierced," which, of course, is the same as "thrust through."
