以西結書 26

Studie

   

1 第十一年十一初一日,耶和華的臨到我說:

2 人子啊,因推羅向耶路撒冷:阿哈,那作眾民之的已經壞,向我開放;他既變為荒場,我必豐盛。

3 所以,耶和華如此:推羅啊,我必與你為敵,使許多國民上來攻擊你,如同使波浪湧上來一樣。

4 他們必破壞推羅的牆垣,拆毀他的城樓。我也要刮淨塵土,使他成為淨光的磐石。

5 他必在中作曬網的地方,也必成為列國的擄物。這是耶和華的。

6 屬推羅城邑的居民(原文是田間的眾女;八節同)必被刀殺滅,他們就知道我是耶和華

7 耶和華如此:我必使諸的巴比倫尼布甲尼撒率領馬匹車輛、兵、軍隊,和許多人民從北方來攻擊你推羅。

8 他必用刀殺滅屬你城邑的居民,也必造臺築壘舉盾牌攻擊你。

9 他必安設撞城錘攻破你的牆垣,用鐵器拆毀你的城樓。

10 因他的馬匹眾多,塵土揚起遮蔽你。他進入你的城,好像人進入已有破口之城。那時,你的牆垣必因騎的和戰車、輜重車的響聲震動。

11 他的必踐踏你一切的街道,他必用刀殺戮你的居民;你堅固的柱子(或譯:柱像)必倒在上。

12 人必以你的財寶為擄物,以你的貨財為掠物,破壞你的牆垣,拆毀你華美的房屋,將你的石頭頭、塵土都拋在中。

13 我必使你唱歌的聲音止息,人也不再見你彈琴的聲音。

14 我必使你成為淨光的磐石,作曬網的地方;你不得再被建造,因為這是耶和華的。

15 耶和華對推羅如此:在你中間行殺戮,受傷之人唉哼的時候,因你傾倒的響聲,海豈不都震動麼﹖

16 那時靠的君王必都位,除去朝服,脫花衣,披上戰兢,上,時刻發抖,為你驚駭。

17 他們必為你作起哀歌:你這有名之城,素為航之人居住,在上為最堅固的;平日你和居民使一切在那裡的人無不驚恐;現在何竟毀滅了﹖

18 如今在你這傾覆的日子,都必戰兢;中的群見你歸於無有就都驚惶。

19 耶和華如此:推羅啊,我使你變為荒涼,如無人居住的城邑;又使深水漫過你,大水淹沒你。

20 那時,我要叫你入陰府,與古時的人一同在的深處、久已荒涼之居住,使你不再有居民。我也要在活人之顯榮耀(我也……榮耀:或譯在活人之不再有榮耀)。

21 我必叫你令人驚恐,不再存留於世;人雖尋你,卻永尋不見。這是耶和華的。

1470. 'Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon' means that truth from a celestial origin is delightful. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'a woman beautiful to look upon'. Every truth that is celestial, that is, which is brought forth from what is celestial, is a source of happiness in the internal man and of delight in the external; and among celestial angels truth is not perceived in any other way. It is altogether different however when it does not have a celestial origin. There are two kinds of happiness in the internal man to which two kinds of delight in the external man correspond. One belongs to good, the other to truth. Celestial happiness and delight go with good, spiritual happiness and delight with truth. Furthermore it is well known that truth holds happiness and delight within it, though these are essentially such only when the truth flows from what is celestial, and therefore when the truth itself becomes celestial and is called celestial truth. This truth may also be compared to the light of the sun in spring, which light carries within it the warmth which causes everything on earth to start to grow and so to speak to come alive. This celestial truth is beauty or beautifulness itself, and is the kind of truth meant here by the words 'a beautiful woman to look upon'. What further arcana are embodied in these words will become evident from what follows
