AC.431, 창4:23, '라멕이 아내들에게 이르되 아다와 씰라여' (AC.427-431)

23절, 라멕이 아내들에게 이르되 아다와 씰라여 내 목소리를 들으라 라멕의 아내들이여 내 말을 들으라 나의 상처로 말미암아 내가 사람을 죽였고 나의 상함으로 말미암아 소년을 죽였도다 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, and with your ears perceive my speech; for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a little one to my hurt.

 

431

That by a “wound” and a “bruise” is signified that there was soundness no longer, by a “wound” that faith was desolated, and by a “bruise” that charity was devastated is evident from the fact that “wound” is predicated of a “man,” and “bruise” of a “little one.” The desolation of faith and the vastation of charity are described in the same terms in Isaiah:

 

발바닥에서 머리까지 성한 곳이 없이 상한 것과 터진 것과 새로 맞은 흔적뿐이거늘 그것을 짜며 싸매며 기름으로 부드럽게 함을 받지 못하였도다 (사1:6) From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wound and bruise and a fresh sore they have not been pressed out, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil. (Isa. 1:6)

 

In this passage “wound” is predicated of faith desolated, “bruise” of charity devastated, and “sore” of both.
