1 你当为以色列的王作起哀歌

2 :你的母亲是甚麽呢?是个母狮子,蹲伏在狮子中间,在少壮狮子中养育小狮子

3 在他小狮子中养大个,成了少壮狮子,学会抓食而人。

4 列国见了就把他捉在他们的坑中,用钩子拉到埃及去。

5 母狮见自己等候失了指望,就从他小狮子中又将个养为少壮狮子。

6 他在众狮子中走来走去,成了少壮狮子,学会抓食而人。

7 知道列国的宫殿,又使他们的城邑变为荒场;因他咆哮的声音,遍和其中所有的就都荒废。

8 於是四围邦国各省的人来攻击他,将撒在他身上,捉在他们的坑中。

9 他们用钩子钩住他,将他放在笼中,到巴比伦王那里,将他放入坚固之所,使他的声音以色列上不再见。

10 你的母亲先前如葡萄树,极其茂盛(原文是在你血中),栽於旁。因为多,就多结果子,满生枝子;

11 生出坚固的枝干,可作掌权者的杖。这枝干举在茂密的枝中,而且他生长大,枝子繁多,远远可见。

12 但这葡萄树因忿怒被拔出摔在上;东吹乾其上的果子,坚固的枝干折断枯乾,被烧毁了;

13 如今栽於旷野乾旱无水之

14 也从他枝干中发出,烧灭果子,以致没有坚固的枝干可作掌权者的杖。这是哀歌,也必用以作哀歌

Look

  

'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.

Heaven and Hell # 80

80. Because the angels have no perception of an invisible Divine, which they call a Divine devoid of form, but perceive a visible Divine in Human form, they are accustomed to say that the Lord alone is Man, and that they are men from Him, each one being a man in the measure of his reception of the Lord. By receiving the Lord they mean receiving the good and truth which are from Him, since the Lord is in His good and in His truth. This they call wisdom and intelligence. Everyone knows, they say, that it is intelligence and wisdom that make a man, and not a face without these. The truth of this is evident from the appearance of the angels of the interior heavens, for they, being in good and truth from the Lord, and consequently in wisdom and intelligence, are in the most beautiful and perfect human form, while the angels of the lower heavens are in a human form of less perfection and beauty. In hell, the reverse is the case. Those who are there appear in the light of heaven hardly as men, but as monsters. For they are in evil and falsity and not in good and truth, and so are in the opposites of wisdom and intelligence. For this reason, their life is not called life, but spiritual death.
