Jeremiah 1:4-10 When I read this passage in Jeremiah, there is one line that immediately captures and convicts me: “Ah, Lord God! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy” (Jeremiah 1:6). Jeremiah’s response to God sounds so familiar. It brings to mind Moses’ doubts when God calls him…
Isaías 5: 1-7 El profeta comienza este pasaje icónico hablando en nombre de su “amado” (es decir, el Señor). La canción de amor se desarrolla, describiendo un viñedo situado en una tierra que era perfectamente adecuada para un viñedo: un terreno exuberante y fértil en una colina sin piedras y donde “plantó cepas de la…
Isaiah 5:1-7 The prophet begins this iconic passage by speaking on behalf of his “beloved” (i.e. the Lord). The love song unfolds, describing a vineyard situated on land that was perfectly suited for a vineyard – lush, fertile ground on a hill with no stones and only “choice vines.” What was expected of the vineyard…
Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 There are promise and mercy, faithfulness (or lack thereof) and fulfillment threaded throughout each of the lectionary readings for this proper. Even in the harsh reproach of the Lord to Judah and Jerusalem in this passage from Isaiah, there is, ultimately, a promise of mercy—scarlet sins turned white as snow, as wool—even…
Isaías 1: 1, 10-20 Hay promesa y misericordia, fidelidad (o falta de ella) y cumplimiento en cada una de las lecturas del leccionario de hoy. Incluso en el áspero reproche del Señor a Judá y a Jerusalén en este pasaje de Isaías, hay, en última instancia, una promesa de misericordia: los pecados como el rojo…
Hosea 11:1-11 Meditating on this passage of prophetic imagining surfaces the tension that characterizes the relationship between God and Israel. Both parties bend their backs, but God’s bending nourishes while the peoples’ bending isolates them from infinite sustenance. The poet paints a picture of YHWH—the God of their ancestors—who calls out to them time and…
Oseas 11: 1-11 Al meditar en este pasaje de imaginación profética aflora la tensión que caracteriza la relación entre Dios e Israel. Ambas partes doblan sus espaldas, pero la inclinación de Dios nutre, mientras que la inclinación de los pueblos los aísla de un sustento infinito. El poeta pinta un cuadro de YHWH, el Dios…
Hosea 1:2-10 The opening verses of the book of Hosea can easily seem harsh and a bit bizarre. Hosea is told at the start of his prophetic ministry to take “a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom” because the land of Israel had forsaken the Lord. Hosea follows the instructions of God and…
Oseas 1: 2-10 Los versículos de apertura del libro de Oseas pueden parecer fácilmente ásperos y un poco extraños. A Oseas se le dice, al comienzo de su ministerio profético, que tome “por mujer a una prostituta y tenga hijos con ella” porque la tierra de Israel había abandonado al Señor. Oseas sigue las instrucciones…
Amos 8:1-12 A basket of summer fruit: the prophet Amos lived among a group of shepherds and was “a dresser of sycamore trees” (Amos 7:14), so he knew and appreciated a basket of fruit more than anyone. He also knew that ripe summer fruit rots quickly. That’s the warning he was giving to the privileged…
