1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :

2 Tu ergo, fili hominis, assume super Tyrum lamentum :

3 et dices Tyro, quæ habitat in introitu maris, negotiationi populorum ad insulas multas : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : O Tyre, tu dixisti : Perfecti decoris ego sum,

4 et in corde maris sita. Finitimi tui qui te ædificaverunt, impleverunt decorem tuum :

5 abietibus de Sanir exstruxerunt te cum omnibus tabulatis maris : cedrum de Libano tulerunt ut facerent tibi malum.

6 Quercus de Basan dolaverunt in remos tuos : et transtra tua fecerunt tibi ex ebore indico, et prætoriola de insulis Italiæ.

7 Byssus varia de Ægypto texta est tibi in velum ut poneretur in malo : hyacinthus et purpura de insulis Elisa facta sunt operimentum tuum.

8 Habitatores Sidonis et Aradii fuerunt remiges tui : sapientes tui, Tyre, facti sunt gubernatores tui.

9 Senes Giblii et prudentes ejus habuerunt nautas ad ministerium variæ supellectilis tuæ : omnes naves maris, et nautæ earum, fuerunt in populo negotiationis tuæ.

10 Persæ, et Lydii, et Libyes erant in exercitu tuo viri bellatores tui : clypeum et galeam suspenderunt in te pro ornatu tuo.

11 Filii Aradii cum exercitu tuo erant super muros tuos in circuitu : sed et Pigmæi, qui erant in turribus tuis, pharetras suas suspenderunt in muris tuis per gyrum : ipsi compleverunt pulchritudinem tuam.

12 Carthaginenses negotiatores tui, a multitudine cunctarum divitiarum, argento, ferro, stanno, plumboque, repleverunt nundinas tuas.

13 Græcia, Thubal, et Mosoch, ipsi institores tui : mancipia, et vasa ærea advexerunt populo tuo.

14 De domo Thogorma, equos, et equites, et mulos adduxerunt ad forum tuum.

15 Filii Dedan negotiatores tui : insulæ multæ, negotiatio manus tuæ : dentes eburneos et hebeninos commutaverunt in pretio tuo.

16 Syrus negotiator tuus propter multitudinem operum tuorum : gemmam, et purpuram, et scutulata, et byssum, et sericum, et chodchod proposuerunt in mercatu tuo.

17 Juda et terra Israël, ipsi institores tui in frumento primo : balsamum, et mel, et oleum, et resinam proposuerunt in nundinis tuis.

18 Damascenus negotiator tuus in multitudine operum tuorum, in multitudine diversarum opum, in vino pingui, in lanis coloris optimi.

19 Dan, et Græcia, et Mosel, in nundinis tuis proposuerunt ferrum fabrefactum : stacte et calamus in negotiatione tua.

20 Dedan institores tui in tapetibus ad sedendum.

21 Arabia et universi principes Cedar, ipsi negotiatores manus tuæ : cum agnis, et arietibus, et hædis, venerunt ad te negotiatores tui.

22 Venditores Saba et Reema, ipsi negotiatores tui : cum universis primis aromatibus, et lapide pretioso, et auro, quod proposuerunt in mercatu tuo.

23 Haran, et Chene, et Eden, negotiatores tui ; Saba, Assur, et Chelmad venditores tui.

24 Ipsi negotiatores tui multifariam involucris hyacinthi, et polymitorum, gazarumque pretiosarum, quæ obvolutæ et astrictæ erant funibus : cedros quoque habebant in negotiationibus tuis.

25 Naves maris, principes tui in negotiatione tua : et repleta es, et glorificata nimis in corde maris.

26 In aquis multis adduxerunt te remiges tui : ventus auster contrivit te in corde maris.

27 Divitiæ tuæ, et thesauri tui, et multiplex instrumentum tuum, nautæ tui et gubernatores tui, qui tenebant supellectilem tuam, et populo tuo præerant : viri quoque bellatores tui, qui erant in te, cum universa multitudine tua, quæ est in medio tui, cadent in corde maris in die ruinæ tuæ.

28 A sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes.

29 Et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum : nautæ et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt.

30 Et ejulabunt super te voce magna : et clamabunt amare, et superjacient pulverem capitibus suis, et cinere conspergentur.

31 Et radent super te calvitium, et accingentur ciliciis : et plorabunt te in amaritudine animæ, ploratu amarissimo.

32 Et assument super te carmen lugubre, et plangent te : Quæ est ut Tyrus, quæ obmutuit in medio maris ?

33 Quæ in exitu negotiatonum tuarum de mari implesti populos multos : in multitudine divitiarum tuarum, et populorum tuorum, ditasti reges terræ.

34 Nunc contrita es a mari : in profundis aquarum opes tuæ, et omnis multitudo tua, quæ erat in medio tui, ceciderunt.

35 Universi habitatores insularum obstupuerunt super te : et reges earum omnes tempestate perculsi mutaverunt vultus.

36 Negotiatores populorum sibilaverunt super te : ad nihilum deducta es, et non eris usque in perpetuum.

Midst

  

The "midst" of something in the Bible represents the thing that is most central and most important to the spiritual state being described, the motivation that drives everything else. In general this will be something we love or feel, because at the core of things we are what we love; our loves define us.

(Odkazy: Apocalypse Revealed 44, 90, 268; Arcana Coelestia 2252, 2940, 10153, 10365, 10557, 10635, 10641)

90. "'Which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.'" This symbolically means, inwardly in the truths of wisdom and faith.

In the midst means, symbolically, the inmost (nos. 44, 383), here within or inwardly. The Paradise of God symbolizes truths of wisdom and faith. Consequently the tree of life which is in the midst of the Paradise of God symbolizes the Lord accompanied by the goodness of love and charity inwardly in the truths of wisdom and faith. Good also exists inwardly within truths, for good is the essence of life, and truth is the consequent expression of life, as we showed many times in Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Love and Wisdom.

That the Paradise of God is the truth of wisdom and faith is apparent from the symbolic meaning of a garden in the Word. A garden there symbolizes wisdom and intelligence, because trees symbolize the people of the church, and their fruits goods of life. That is what the Garden of Eden symbolizes, for it describes the wisdom of Adam.

[2] The garden of God in Ezekiel has the same meaning:

With your wisdom and your understanding you have gained riches for yourself... You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering... (Ezekiel 28:4, 13)

The subject is Tyre, which symbolizes the church in respect to its concepts of truth and good, thus in respect to its intelligence. Accordingly it is said, "With your wisdom and your understanding you have gained riches for yourself." The precious stones which served as its covering symbolize truths of intelligence.

[3] In the same book:

Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon... The cedars in the garden of God did not hide it... No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty... All the trees of Eden envied it... in the garden of God. (Ezekiel 31:3, 8-9)

This is said of Egypt and Assyria, because Egypt symbolizes knowledge, and Assyria rationality, which leads to intelligence. A cedar has a similar symbolism.

But because Egypt's rationality led also to a conceit in its own intelligence, therefore it is said of it,

To which of the trees in Eden were you then likened in glory and greatness, when you were brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below, and you lay in the midst of the uncircumcised...? (Ezekiel 31:18)

The uncircumcised are people who lack the goodness of charity.

[4] In Isaiah:

...Jehovah will comfort Zion..., and make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah. (Isaiah 51:3)

Zion there is the church. The wilderness and desert are a deficiency of truth and ignorance of it. Eden and the garden of God are wisdom and intelligence.

Wisdom and intelligence are also symbolically meant by a garden in Isaiah 58:11; 61:11, Jeremiah 31:12, Amos 9:14, and Numbers 24:6.

[5] A person of the church is also like a garden in respect to his intelligence when he possesses goodness of love from the Lord, because the spiritual warmth that enlivens him is love, and spiritual light is the resulting intelligence.

People know that these two, warmth and light, cause gardens in the world to bloom. It is the same in heaven. Paradisal gardens are seen in heaven, with trees bearing fruit in accordance with the inhabitants' wisdom that springs from their goodness of love from the Lord. But around people who possess intelligence without the goodness of love, no gardens are seen, but grass, while around those whose faith is divorced from charity, not even grass is seen, but sand.
