14
그러므로 너희 백성 중에 요란함이 일어나며 네 산성들이 다 훼파되되 살만이 전쟁의 날에 벧아벨을 훼파한 것같이 될 것이라 그 때에 어미와 자식이 함께 부숴졌도다
호세아서 10:14
Arcana Coelestia #8365
8365. 'For I, Jehovah, am your Healer' means that the Lord alone preserves them from evils. This is clear from the meaning of 'healing' as curing of and also preserving from evils; for when evils are meant by 'sicknesses', curing people of them and preserving them from them is meant by 'healing', [here] and also many times in the Word, such as in Moses,
I kill and I make alive, I strike and I heal. Deuteronomy 32:39.
In Jeremiah,
Heal me, O Jehovah, in order that I may be healed; save me, in order that I may be saved. Jeremiah 17:14.
In the same prophet,
I will restore health to you 1 and heal you of your blows. Jeremiah 30:17.
In David,
His whole bed you have turned in his sickness. 2 I said, O Jehovah, be merciful to me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against You. Psalms 41:3-4.
The same may be seen in many other places besides these, such as Isaiah 6:10; 53:5; 57:18-19; Jeremiah 3:22; 17:14; Hosea 6:1; 7:1; 11:3; 14:4; Zechariah 11:16; Psalms 30:2; and elsewhere. And since 'healing' had this meaning, the Lord also calls Himself 'a physician',
Those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:12-13; Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31-32.
Imibhalo yaphansi:
1. literally, I will cause health to come up to you
2. i.e. His bed has been changed from the bed of sickness to the bed of health
