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。

Apocalypse Explained # 303

/ 1232  
  

303. Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? signifies, is there anyone there such as to know and to perceive the states of life of all? This is evident from the signification of "Who is worthy?" as being, is there anyone who has merit and righteousness, and who has omniscience, thus whether there is any such? That "worthy," in reference to the Lord, signifies merit and righteousness, which belong to Him alone, see above n. 293. And that omniscience is signified is clear from what follows, where it is said, "the Lamb took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, and opened it;" for "right hand" signifies omniscience and omnipotence (See above, n. 297); it is evident also from the signification of the "book," as being the states of life of all in general and in particular (of which see just above, n. 299); and also from the signification of "to open the book and to loose the seals thereof," as being to know and perceive; for when the "book" signifies the states of life of all, "to open and to loose the seals" signifies to know and perceive those states; for knowing and perceiving are predicated of the state of life, but opening and loosening seals relate to a book; thus the words in the internal sense conform to the things signified by the words in the sense of the letter, for they correspond; therefore, "to open" signifies to know, and "to loose the seals" signifies to perceive what is altogether hidden from others (as above, n. 300).

1 God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
