1 여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대

2 인자야 너는 두로 왕에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 네 마음이 교만하여 말하기를 나는 신이라 내가 하나님의 자리 곧 바다 중심에 앉았다 하도다 네 마음이 하나님의 마음 같은 체 할지라도 너는 사람이요 신이 아니어늘

3 네가 다니엘보다 지혜로와서 은밀한 것을 깨닫지 못할 것이 없다하고

4 네 지혜와 총명으로 재물을 얻었으며 금 은을 곳간에 저축하였으며

5 네 큰 지혜와 장사함으로 재물을 더하고 그 재물로 인하여 네 마음이 교만하였도다

6 그러므로 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 네 마음이 하나님의 마음 같은 체 하였으니

7 그런즉 내가 외인 곧 열국의 강포한 자를 거느리고 와서 너를 치리니 그들이 칼을 빼어 네 지혜의 아름다운 것을 치며 네 영화를 더럽히며

8 또 너를 구덩이에 빠뜨려서 너로 바다 가운데서 살륙을 당한 자의 죽음 같이 바다 중심에서 죽게 할지라

9 너를 살륙하는 자 앞에서 네가 그래도 말하기를 내가 하나님이라 하겠느냐 너를 치는 자의 수중에서 사람뿐이요 신이 아니라

10 네가 외인의 손에서 죽기를 할례 받지 않은 자의 죽음 같이 하리니 내가 말하였음이니라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라 하셨다 하라

11 여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대

12 인자야 두로 왕을 위하여 애가를 지어 그에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 너는 완전한 인이었고 지혜가 충족하며 온전히 아름다왔도다

13 네가 옛적에 하나님의 동산 에덴에 있어서 각종 보석 곧 홍보석과, 황보석과, 금강석과, 황옥과, 홍마노와, 창옥과, 청보석과, 남보석과, 홍옥과, 황금으로 단장하였었음이여 네가 지음을 받던 날에 너를 위하여 소고와 비파가 예비되었었도다

14 너는 기름 부음을 받은 덮는 그룹임이여 내가 너를 세우매 네가 하나님의 성산에 있어서 화광석 사이에 왕래하였었도다

15 네가 지음을 받던 날로부터 네 모든 길에 완전하더니 마침내 불의가 드러났도다

16 네 무역이 풍성하므로 네 가운데 강포가 가득하여 네가 범죄하였도다 너 덮는 그룹아 그러므로 내가 너를 더럽게 여겨 하나님의 산에서 쫓아 내었고 화광석 사이에서 멸하였도다

17 네가 아름다우므로 마음이 교만하였으며 네가 영화로우므로 네 지혜를 더럽혔음이여 내가 너를 땅에 던져 열왕 앞에 두어 그들의 구경거리가 되게 하였도다

18 네가 죄악이 많고 무역이 불의하므로 네 모든 성소를 더럽혔음이여 내가 네 가운데서 불을 내어 너를 사르게 하고 너를 목도하는 모든 자 앞에서 너로 땅 위에 재가 되게 하였도다

19 만민 중에 너를 아는 자가 너로 인하여 다 놀랄 것임이여 네가 경계거리가 되고 네가 영원히 다시 있지 못하리로다 하셨다 하라

20 여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대

21 인자야 너는 낯을 시돈으로 향하고 그를 쳐서 예언하라

22 너는 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 시돈아 내가 너를 대적하나니 네 가운데서 내 영광이 나타나리라 하셨다 하라 내가 그 가운데서 국문을 행하여 내 거룩함을 나타낼 때에 무리가 나를 여호와인 줄 알지라

23 내가 그에게 염병을 보내며 그의 거리에 피가 흐르게 하리니 사방에서 오는 칼에 상한 자가 그 가운데 엎드러질 것인즉 무리가 나를 여호와인 줄 알겠고

24 이스라엘 족속에게는 그 사면에서 그들을 멸시하는 자 중에 찌르는 가시와 아프게 하는 가시가 다시는 없으리니 그들이 나를 주 여호와인 줄 알리라

25 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 열방에 흩어 있는 이스라엘 족속을 모으고 그들로 인하여 열국의 목전에서 내 거룩함을 나타낼 때에 그들이 고토 곧 내 종 야곱에게 준 땅에 거할지라

26 그들이 그 가운데 평안히 거하여 집을 건축하며 포도원을 심고 그들의 사면에서 멸시하던 모든 자를 내가 국문할 때에 그들이 평안히 살며 나를 그 하나님 여호와인 줄 알리라

1551. That 'silver' means truths is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth. The most ancient people compared the goods and truths present in man to metals. Innermost or celestial goods which flow from love to the Lord they compared to gold, truths deriving from these to silver. Goods of a lower or natural kind however they compared to bronze, and truths of a lower kind to iron. Nor did they just compare them; they also called them such. This was the origin of periods of time being likened to those same metals and being called the golden, silver, bronze, and iron ages, for these followed in that order one after another. The golden age was the time of the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial man. The silver age was the time of the Ancient Church, which was spiritual man. The bronze age was the time of the Church that followed, and the iron age came after that. Similar things were also meant by the statue which Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream, whose head was of fine gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, and shins of iron, Daniel 2:32-33. That periods of the Church were to follow one another in that order, and actually did so, is clear in that very chapter of the same prophet.

[2] That 'silver' in the internal sense of the Word wherever it is mentioned means truth, or in the contrary sense falsity, is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver, and instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. And I will make peace your assessment, and righteousness your tax-collectors. Isaiah 60:17.

Here it is evident what each metal means. The subject is the Lord's Coming, His kingdom, and the celestial Church. 'Instead of bronze, gold' is celestial good in place of natural good; 'instead of iron, silver' is spiritual truth in place of natural truth; 'instead of wood, bronze' is natural good in place of bodily good; 'instead of stone, iron' is natural truth in place of truth acquired through the senses. In the same prophet,

Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the water, and he who has no money, 1 come, buy and eat! Isaiah 55:1.

'He who has no money' 1 is the person who does not know the truth but who nevertheless possesses the good that stems from charity, as is the case with many people inside the Church, and with gentiles outside it.

[3] In the same prophet,

The islands will wait for Me, the ships of Tarshish at their head, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 60:9.

This refers specifically to a new Church, or a Church among gentiles, and in general to the Lord's kingdom. 'Ships from Tarshish' stands for cognitions, 'silver' for truths, and 'gold' for goods, which are those things they 'will bring to the name of Jehovah'. In Ezekiel,

For your adornment you took vessels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and you made for yourselves figures of the male. Ezekiel 16:17.

Here 'gold' stands for cognitions of celestial things, 'silver' of spiritual things. In the same prophet,

You were adorned with gold and silver, and your raiment was fine linen and silk, and embroidered cloth. Ezekiel 16:13.

This refers to Jerusalem, by which the Lord's Church is meant, whose adornment is being described in this manner. In the same prophet,

Behold, you who are wise, there is no secret they have hidden from you; by your wisdom and by your intelligence you have acquired riches for yourself, and you have acquired gold and silver in your treasuries. Ezekiel 28:3-4.

Here, in what is said in reference to Tyre, 'gold' is plainly identified with the riches of wisdom, and 'silver' with the riches of intelligence.

[4] In Joel,

You have taken My silver and My gold, and My good and desirable treasures you have carried into your temples. Joel 3:5.

This refers to Tyre, Sidon, and Philistia, which mean cognitions, and these are 'the silver and the gold they took into their temples'. In Haggai,

The elect of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory. Mine is the silver, and Mine is the gold. The glory of this latter house will be greater than that of the former. Haggai 2:7-9.

This refers to the Lord's Church to which 'gold and silver' have reference. In Malachi,

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi. Malachi 3:3.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord. In David,

The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver refined in an earthen crucible, poured seven times. Psalms 12:6.

'Silver purified seven times' stands for Divine truth. At the time of their exodus out of Egypt the children of Israel were commanded that every woman should ask of her neighbour, and of her who sojourned in her house, vessels of silver and vessels of gold and garments, and that they should put them on their sons and on their daughters, and so despoil the Egyptians, Exodus 3:22; 11:2-3; 12:35-36. Anyone may see from this that the children of Israel would never have been ordered to steal and despoil the Egyptians of those possessions in that way if these did not represent some arcana. But what those arcana are may become clear from the meaning of 'silver and gold, garments, and Egypt', and from the fact that what these possessions represented is similar to the words here 'rich in the silver and gold from Egypt', used in reference to Abram.

[5] Just as 'silver' means truth so in a contrary sense it means falsity, for people under the influence of falsity imagine falsity to be the truth, as is also clear in the Prophets. In Moses,

You shall not covet the silver and the gold of the nations, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. You shall utterly detest it. Deuteronomy 7:25-26.

'The gold of the nations' stands for evils, and 'their silver' for falsities. In the same author,

You shall not make gods of silver to be with Me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold. Exodus 20:23.

In the internal sense these words mean nothing other than falsities and evil desires, falsities being meant by 'gods of silver', and evil desires by 'gods of gold'. In Isaiah,

On that day everyone will spurn his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you - a sin. Isaiah 31:7.

'Idols of silver and idols of gold' stands for similar things that are false and evil 'Which your hands have made' stands for what is a product of the proprium. In Jeremiah,

They are foolish and stupid; that wood is a way of learning vanities! Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the moulder. Their clothing is violet and purple These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:8-9.

Here 'silver' and 'gold' quite clearly stand for similar things that are false and evil.
