以西結書 19

Studie

   

1 你當為以色列的王作起哀歌

2 :你的母親是甚麼呢?是個母獅子,蹲伏在獅子中間,在少壯獅子中養育小獅子

3 在他小獅子中養大個,成了少壯獅子,學會抓食而人。

4 列國見了就把他捉在他們的坑中,用鉤子拉到埃及去。

5 母獅見自己等候失了指望,就從他小獅子中又將個養為少壯獅子。

6 他在眾獅子中走來走去,成了少壯獅子,學會抓食而人。

7 知道列國的宮殿,又使他們的城邑變為荒場;因他咆哮的聲音,遍和其中所有的就都荒廢。

8 於是四圍邦國各省的人來攻擊他,將撒在他身上,捉在他們的坑中。

9 他們用鉤子鉤住他,將他放在籠中,到巴比倫王那裡,將他放入堅固之所,使他的聲音在以色列上不再見。

10 你的母親先前如葡萄樹,極其茂盛(原文是在你血中),栽於旁。因為多,就多結果子,滿生枝子;

11 生出堅固的枝幹,可作掌權者的杖。這枝幹舉在茂密的枝中,而且他生長大,枝子繁多,遠遠可見。

12 但這葡萄樹因忿怒被拔出摔在上;東吹乾其上的果子,堅固的枝幹折斷枯乾,被燒燬了;

13 如今栽於曠野乾旱無水之

14 也從他枝幹中發出,燒滅果子,以致沒有堅固的枝幹可作掌權者的杖。這是哀歌,也必用以作哀歌

9556. 'Three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it' means completeness so far as good and truth are concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'three' as what is complete, dealt with in 2788, 4495, 7715 9198; from the meaning of 'branches of the lampstand' as truths derived from good, and consequently power, dealt with above in 9555; and from the meaning of 'out of one side' and 'out of the other side' as from good and consequently from truth. For the parts on the right side of the body mean forms of good, and those on the left mean forms of truth derived from good, as for example with the right and left sides of the face, the right and left eye, the right and left ear, the right and left foot, and so on with everything else in the body.
