Capitolo 23
1
Teško pastirima koji potiru i razmeću stado paše moje! Govori Gospod.
2
Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za pastire koji pasu narod moj: Vi razmetnuste ovce moje i razagnaste ih, i ne obilaziste ih; evo, ja ću vas obići za zloću dela vaših, govori Gospod.
3
I ostatak ovaca svojih ja ću skupiti iz svih zemalja u koje ih razagnah, i vratiću ih u torove njihove, gde će se naploditi i umnožiti.
4
I postaviću im pastire, koji će ih pasti, da se ne boje više i ne plaše i da ne pogine ni jedna, govori Gospod.
5
Gle, idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje ću podignuti Davidu Klicu pravednu, koja će carovati i biti srećna i činiti sud i pravdu na zemlji.
6
U Njegove dane spašće se Juda, i Izrailj će stanovati u miru, i ovo mu je ime kojim će se zvati: Gospod pravda naša.
7
Zato, evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, u koje se neće više govoriti: Tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske;
8
nego: Tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izveo i doveo seme doma Izrailjevog iz severne zemlje i iz svih zemalja u koje ih bejah razagnao. I oni će sedeti u svojoj zemlji.
9
Radi proroka puca srce u meni,
trepeću sve kosti moje,
kao pijan sam
i kao čovek koga je osvojilo vino,
Gospoda radi
i Njegovih radi svetih reči.
10
Jer je zemlja puna preljubočinaca,
i s kletava tuži zemlja,
posušiše se paše u pustinji;
trk je njihov zao i moć njihova neprava.
11
Jer i prorok i sveštenik skvrne je,
nalazim i u domu svom zloću njihovu,
govori Gospod.
12
Za to će put njihov biti kao klizavica po tami,
gde će popuznuti i pasti;
jer ću pustiti na njih zlo,
godine pohođenja njihovog,
govori Gospod.
13
U proroka samarijskih video sam bezumlje,
prorokovahu Valom,
prelašćivahu narod moj Izrailja;
14
Ali u proroka jerusalimskih vidim strahotu:
čine preljubu i hode u laži,
ukrepljuju ruke zlikovcima
da se niko ne vrati od svoje zloće;
svi su mi kao Sodom,
i stanovnici njegovi kao Gomor.
15
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama o tim prorocima:
Evo, ja ću ih nahraniti pelenom i napojiću ih žuči;
jer od proroka jerusalimskih iziđe oskvrnjenje po svoj zemlji.
16
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: Ne slušajte šta govore proroci koji vam prorokuju; varaju vas, govore utvare svog srca, ne iz usta Gospodnjih.
17
Jednako govore onima koji ne mare za me: Gospod je rekao: Imaćete mir; i svakome koji ide po misli srca svog govore: Neće doći na vas zlo.
18
Jer ko je stajao u veću Gospodnjem, i video ili čuo reč Njegovu?
Ko je pazio na reč Njegovu i čuo?
19
Evo, vihor Gospodnji, gnev,
izići će vihor, koji ne prestaje,
pašće na glavu bezbožnicima.
20
Neće se odvratiti gnev Gospodnji
dokle ne učini i izvrši šta je u srcu naumio;
najposle ćete razumeti to sasvim.
21
Ne slah tih proroka, a oni trčaše;
ne govorih im, a oni prorokovaše.
22
Da su stajali u mom veću,
tada bi kazivali moje reči narodu mom,
i odvraćali bi ih s puta njihovog zlog
i od zloće dela njihovih.
23
Jesam li ja Bog iz bliza, govori Gospod, a nisam Bog i iz daleka?
24
Može li se ko sakriti na tajno mesto da ga ja ne vidim? Govori Gospod; ne ispunjam li ja nebo i zemlju? Govori Gospod.
25
Čujem šta govore ti proroci koji u ime moje prorokuju laž govoreći: Snio sam, snio sam.
26
Dokle će to biti u srcu prorocima koji prorokuju laž, i prevaru srca svog prorokuju?
27
Koji misle da će učiniti da narod moj zaboravi ime moje uza sne njihove, koje pripovedaju jedan drugom, kao što zaboraviše oci njihovi ime moje uz Vala.
28
Prorok koji sni, neka pripoveda san; a u koga je reč moja, neka govori reč moju istinito; šta će pleva sa pšenicom? Govori Gospod.
29
Nije li reč moja kao oganj, govori Gospod, i kao malj koji razbija kamen?
30
Za to, evo me na te proroke, govori Gospod, koji kradu moje reči jedan od drugog.
31
Evo me na te proroke, veli Gospod, koji dižu jezik svoj i govore: On veli.
32
Evo me na one koji prorokuju lažne sne, veli Gospod, i pripovedajući ih zavode narod moj lažima svojim i hitrinom svojom; a ja ih nisam poslao niti sam im zapovedio; i neće ništa pomoći tome narodu, govori Gospod.
33
Ako te zapita ovaj narod ili koji prorok ili sveštenik govoreći: Kako je breme Gospodnje? Tada im reci: Kako breme? Ostaviću vas, govori Gospod.
34
A proroka i sveštenika i narod koji reče: Breme Gospodnje, ja ću pokarati tog čoveka i dom njegov.
35
Nego ovako govorite svaki bližnjemu svom i svaki bratu svom: Šta odgovori Gospod? I: Šta reče Gospod?
36
A bremena Gospodnjeg ne pominjite više, jer će svakome biti breme reč njegova, jer izvrćete reči Boga Živoga, Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga našeg.
37
Ovako reci proroku: Šta ti odgovori Gospod? I šta ti reče Gospod?
38
Ali kad kažete: Breme Gospodnje, zato ovako veli Gospod: Šta govorite tu reč: Breme Gospodnje, a ja slah k vama da vam kažu: Ne govorite: Breme Gospodnje,
39
zato evo me, ja ću vas zaboraviti sasvim i odbaciću od sebe vas i grad koji sam dao vama i ocima vašim.
40
I navaliću na vas porugu večnu i sramotu večnu koja se neće zaboraviti.
Jeremiah
Capitolo 23
1
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
2
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
3
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4
And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
5
¶ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8
But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
9
¶ Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
10
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11
For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
12
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
13
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17
They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19
Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22
But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23
Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
24
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25
I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27
Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
33
¶ And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
34
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
35
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
36
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
37
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
38
But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
39
Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
40
And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
