Jeremiah
Chapter
3 (continued)
{Summary
Verse}
20~~"Surely/Truely
{strong affirmative}
as
a wife/woman {'ishshah - right woman concept}
treacherously
deceive {referring to adultery}
her
companion/'right man' {rea' -literally One who is in the mind/soul
and body of another},
so
have you dealt deceitfully with Me,
O
house of Israel," spoke lovingly and softly {n@'um}
the
Jehovah/God.
{Misery
and Disappointment in Cheap Substitutes is Described}
21~~A
voice was heard {shama`}
upon
the high places {hills where Phallic Cult was practiced} . . .
the
weeping {dropping of tears from a miserable person}
and
supplications/'pray for mercy' {content of what they are saying}
of
the children/sons of Israel . . .
for
they have been caused to act perversely
in
their ways {perverse acts in the Phallic Cult},
and
they have forgotten {out of sight out of mind principal}
Jehovah/God
their Elohiym/Godhead.
{Note: They substituted idolatry for Bible doctrine and wrong man lovers instead of their right man. They do not shama` the word of God, so now God gets to shama' to their crying! They are calling for God to relieve them of their suffering. They are NOT returning because they love Him. Wrong motivation.}
{Note: Principal: If a woman can go to a party without her right man and have a great time without him, then there is something missing in her capacity to love him. Same principal for a man and his right woman.}
22~~
Come back {shuwb},
you
backsliding {showbab}
children,
and
I will repair your backslidings {m@shuwbah}.
YES,
we come
{'athah - a STRONG decision to come - sound of love in the word -
returning to God and His Word - many did come down the hill
and return to the Lord.}
to
You . . . for You are Jehovah/God our Elohiym/Godhead.
{Note: Same bun/play on words again in this verse. Triple compound pun really: shuwb . . .showbab . . . m@shuwbah.}
23~~Most
emphatically {point of doctrine}
fraud/deceit
{sheqer - also a word for 'idol'}
is
from the hills {practice of idolatry there},
and
from the many of mountains.
MOST
emphatically {point of doctrine again follows},
Jehovah/God
our Elohiym/Godhead
is
the deliverance/salvation of Israel.
{Wages
for Judea's Unfaithfulness}
24~~
For 'the shame' {bosheth - ignominy, disgrace, idolatry}
has
devoured the profit/wealth/labor of our fathers
from
our youth . . .
their
flocks and their herds,
their
sons and their daughters.
{Note: Bosheth- is a word also used for idols. It means the shame resulting from the worship of the idol and the practice of the idolatry - it produces frustration and disgrace - optimum misery.}
{Wages
of Cheap Substitutes}
25~~We
keep on fornicating {shakab}
with
'our shame'/idols
{bosheth again - analogy to autoerotism in Phallic Cult here}
and
'our shame'/idols super-impose over us.
For
we have sinned against the Jehovah/God
{true principal of rebound - you sin against God!}
our
Elohiym/Godhead . . .
we
and our fathers . . . from our youth . . .
even
unto this day;
and
have not obeyed/'concentrated on'
{positive volition to the teaching of the Word}
the
voice of Jehovah/God our Elohiym/Godhead
{Bible Doctrine/ Word of God}.
