Oz 4, 1-19

1 Hear the word of the LORD, all of you children of Israel: for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood. 3 "Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwells therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. " 4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for your people are as they that strive with the priest. 5 Therefore shall you fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with you in the night, and I will destroy your mother. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. 7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD. 11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. 12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms has caused them to go astray, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. 13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. 14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that does not understand shall fall. 15 "Though you, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not all of you unto Gilgal, neither go all of you up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD lives. " 16 For Israel slides back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place. 17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. 18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give all of you. 19 The wind has bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

Verš 1

Hear the word of the LORD, all of you children of Israel: for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Mi 6:2 - Hear all of you, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and all of you strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

Verš 10

For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

Mi 6:14 - "You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your casting down shall be in the midst of you; and you shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and that which you deliver will I give up to the sword. "

Verš 12

My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms has caused them to go astray, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

Oz 5:4 - They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

Verš 13

They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

Iz 57:7 - Upon a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you up to offer sacrifice.

Ez 20:28 - For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

Iz 1:29 - For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which all of you have desired, and all of you shall be confounded for the gardens that all of you have chosen.

Verš 9

And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

Iz 24:2 - "And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him. "

Oz 4,1-7 - Tu prorok opisuje vinu a trest domu Izraela a vymenúva rozličné hriechy a previnenia synov Izraela, ku ktorým hovorí.

Oz 4,3 - Pre človeka aj nerozumné tvorstvo pociťuje Boží hnev.

Oz 4,4 - Nik nemá právo Bohu vyčitovať, že prísne súdi. Kňaz je prostredník medzi Bohom a ľuďmi; neposlúchnuť ho pokladal zákon za ťažký zločin (Dt 17,12).

Oz 4,5 - Verš je nejasný, jeho zmysel je asi: Zahynie, a to čoskoro, ľud, falošní proroci, ba celý národ, ktorý náš prorok volá matkou. Falošní proroci zavinili z veľkej čiastky nemravnosť ľudu, preto ich pád bude ťažší, čo náš prorok vyjadruje tým, že padnú v noci.

Oz 4,6 - Výčitka patrí celému národu: pretože odmietol poznanie Pána, prestane byť kňazským národom (porov. Ex 19,6). Izrael konal kňazskú službu, lebo mal byť prostredníkom medzi Bohom a ostatnými národmi.

Oz 4,8 - Je tu reč o kňazoch Severnej ríše. Všetky obety v tejto ríši boli hriešne, lebo jediným obetným miestom pre Izraelitov bol jeruzalemský chrám. Kňazi jednako napomáhali tieto obety, aby sa mohli z nich živiť; živili sa teda z hriechov ľudu, preto ich stihne ten istý trest, čo aj ľud.

Oz 4,11 - Modloslužba a s ňou spojené neresti natoľko odobrali Izraelitom rozum, že chcú veštby od svojich drevených bohov a veštia pomocou akýchsi paličiek (robdomantia; porov. aj Ez 21,26).

Oz 4,13 - Porov. Jer 2,20.

Oz 4,14 - Dcéry a nevesty, pravda, neostanú bez trestu. No väčšia je vina otcov a mužov, lebo od nich sa aj ony naučili hriechu. O pobehliciach svätýň pozri pozn. k 1 Kr 14,24.

Oz 4,15 - Mravný stav Izraela je beznádejný, preto prorok oslovuje Južné kráľovstvo, Júdsko, aby aspoň ono nepáchalo modloslužbu. Galgala a Betaven boli strediskami modloslužby. Dve mestá mali meno Galgala. O jednom pozri pozn. k 1 Sam 7,16, o druhom 1 Sam 10,8. Nevedno, o ktorom z týchto miest je tu reč. – Betaven je zmenené meno Betelu (dnešný Betin, asi 15 km severne od Jeruzalema). Meno Betel znamená "Dom Boha" (porov. Gn 28,10; 35,14). Jeroboam I. dal však postaviť v tomto meste zlaté teľa, preto ho prorok volá Betaven=Dom hriechu. – Boh nechce, aby modlári vyslovovali pri prísahe jeho meno.

Oz 4,17 - Ešte vždy pokračuje výzva k Júdsku, pozri v. 15.
