your survivors among the nations will remember me, where they will be taken captive, when I will bring their prodigal heart, which has fallen away from me, and their eyes, which have fornicated after idols, into contrition; and they will feel disgust for themselves for the evil that they have done in all their abominations; (The Jewish priests, acting through their prophets, they inspired favorable attitudes to them).
10 And they will know that I am the LORD; it was not in vain that I said that I would bring such a calamity upon them. (God can speak!).
11 Thus saith the LORD God: Throw up your hands, and stamp with your foot, and say, Woe for all the abominable wickedness of the house of Israel! they will fall by the sword, famine and pestilence. (Ancient customs: splashing with hands, stomping with feet. Sorcerer priests often used this to influence the public so that the public would return to the bosom of the «true» religion).
12 He who is far away will die of the pestilence; but he who is near will fall by the sword; and he who remains and survives will die of hunger; so will I bring my wrath upon them. (This is how God expresses his anger – with the promise of murder, death from illness, from hunger, just like an ordinary vindictive person).
13 And you will know that I am the LORD, when the slain will be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every branching oak, in the place where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols. (For the priests of Judaism, other cults were rivals, which was expressed in the withdrawal of part of the flock from the Jews to other cults, this naturally caused them fits of anger and indignation, as can be seen from the above words).
14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and make the land a wilderness and a wilderness, from the wilderness of Divlath, in all their places of residence, and they will know that I am the LORD. (The promise of all sorts of misfortunes that the vengeful god supposedly «produces», in fact, all these misfortunes are completely ordinary events during the endless wars).
Chapter 7
1 And the word of the Lord came to me: (Suggestion by words).
2 and you, son of man, [say]: Thus saith the LORD God; the land of Israel is at an end, – the end has come to the four ends of the earth. (The suggestion through the prophet of beneficial Jewish priesthood attitudes).
3 This is the end of you; and I will send my wrath upon you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will lay all your abominations on you. (The wrath of God, that is, the hungry Jewish priesthood, is connected with the fact that the «chosen people» stopped feeding the priests).
4 And my eye will not spare you, and I will not have mercy, and I will repay you according to your ways, and your abominations will be with you, and you will know that I am the LORD. (The Jewish priests, acting through their prophets, inspired favorable attitudes to them).
5 Thus saith the LORD God: the only trouble is, behold, trouble is coming. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
6 The end has come, the end has come, it has risen on you; here it has come, (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
7 the attack has reached you, inhabitant of the earth! the time is coming, the day of confusion is approaching, and not cheerful exclamations on the mountains. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
8 Behold, I will soon pour out my wrath upon you, and I will do my wrath upon you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will lay all your abominations on you. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
9 And my eye will not spare you, and I will not have mercy. I will reward you according to your ways, and your abominations will be with you; and you will know that I am the Lord the chastiser. (God is a punisher, that’s for sure, the priests are extremely aggressive and dangerous).
10 Here is the day! here came the attack! the rod has grown, the pride has grown. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
11 Power rises up against the rod of wickedness; nothing will remain of them, and of their wealth, and of their noise, and of their pomp. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
12 The time has come, the day has come; he who has bought, do not rejoice, and he who has sold, do not weep; for wrath is upon all their multitude. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
13 For he who sold will not return to the sold, even if they remain alive; for the prophetic vision of all their multitude will not be canceled, and no one will strengthen his life by his iniquity. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).
14 The trumpet will be blown, and everything is being prepared, but no one goes to war: for my wrath is upon all their multitude. (God, that is, the priests of Judaism are angry – they are hungry and cold! Their «chosen ones» stopped carrying sacrifices and offerings to them).
15 There is a sword outside the house, but pestilence and famine are in the house. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword; and whoever is in the city will be devoured by famine and pestilence. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
16 But the survivors of them will flee and will be on the mountains like the doves of the valleys; they will all groan, each for his iniquity. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
17 Everyone’s hands will fall, and everyone’s knees will tremble, [like] water. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
18 Then they will be girded with sackcloth, and trembling will overtake them; and all will have shame on their faces, and all will have a bald spot on their heads. (Baldness, baldness, sackcloth symbolized the presence of any disaster, misfortune).
19 They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be neglected. Their silver and their gold will not be strong enough to save them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They will not sate their souls with it, nor will they fill their wombs; for it was a reason for their iniquity. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
20 And in their red robes they turned him into pride, and made images of their vile idols out of him; therefore I will make him unclean to them; (The Jewish elite especially do not like other people’s idols).
21 And I will give it into the hands of strangers for plunder, and to the wicked of the land for plunder, and they will defile it. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
22 And I will turn my face away from them, and they will defile my secret; and robbers will come there and defile it. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
23 Make a chain, for this land is filled with bloody atrocities, and the city is full of violence. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
24 I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will take possession of their houses. And I will put an end to the arrogance of the strong, and their shrines will be desecrated. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
25 Destruction is coming; they will seek peace, and they will not find it. (The promise of troubles and misfortunes).
26 Trouble will follow trouble, and news after news; and they will ask the prophet for visions, and there will be no teaching from the priest and advice from the elders. («Visions» are hypnotic influences).
