以西結書 27

Étudier

   

1 耶和華的又臨到我說:

2 人子啊,要為推羅作起哀歌

3 :你居住口,是眾民的商埠;你的交易通到許多耶和華如此:推羅啊,你曾:我是全然美麗的。

4 你的境界在中,造你的使你全然美麗

5 他們用示尼珥的松樹做你的一切板,用利巴嫩的香柏樹做桅杆,

6 用巴珊的橡樹做你的槳,用象牙鑲嵌基提海的黃楊木為坐板(或譯:艙板)。

7 你的篷帆是用埃及繡花細麻布做的,可以做你的大旗;你的涼棚是用以利沙藍色紫色布做的。

8 西頓和亞發的居民作你盪槳的。推羅啊,你中間的智慧人作掌舵的。

9 迦巴勒的老者和聰明人都在你中間作補縫的;一切泛隻和水手都在你中間經營交易的事。

10 波斯人、路德人、弗人在你軍營中作戰士;他們在你中間懸盾牌和頭盔,彰顯你的尊榮。

11 亞發人和你的軍隊都在你四圍的牆上,你的望樓也有勇士;他們懸盾牌,成全你的美麗

12 他施人因你多有各類的財物,就作你的客商,拿、鉛兌換你的貨物。

13 雅完人、土巴人、米設人都與你交易;他們用人口和銅器兌換你的貨物。

14 陀迦瑪族用戰馬並騾兌換你的貨物。

15 底但人與你交易,許多作你的碼頭;他們拿象牙烏木與你兌換(或譯:進貢)。

16 亞蘭人因你的工作很多,就作你的客商;他們用綠寶石、紫色布繡貨、細麻布、珊瑚、紅寶石兌換你的貨物。

17 猶大以色列的人都與你交易;他們用米匿的麥子、餅、蜜、、乳香兌換你的貨物。

18 大馬色人因你的工作很多,又因你多有各類的財物,就拿黑本酒和白羊毛與你交易。

19 威但人和雅完人拿紡成的線、亮、桂皮、菖蒲兌換你的貨物。

20 底但人用高貴的毯子、鞍、屜與你交易。

21 亞拉伯人和基達的一切首領都作你的客商,用羔、公綿、公山與你交易。

22 示巴和拉瑪的商人與你交易,他們用各類上好的香料、各類的寶,和黃兌換你的貨物。

23 哈蘭人、干尼人、伊甸人、示巴的商人,和亞述人、基抹人與你交易。

24 這些商人以美好的貨物包在繡花藍色包袱內,又有華麗的衣服裝在香柏木的箱子裡,用捆著與你交易。

25 他施的隻接連成幫為你運貨,你便在中豐富極其榮華。

26 盪槳的已經把你盪到大水之處,東中將你打破

27 你的資財、物件、貨物、水手、掌舵的、補縫的、經營交易的,並你中間的戰士和人民,在你破壞的日子必都沉在中。

28 你掌舵的呼號之聲一發,郊野都必震動。

29 凡盪槳的和水手,並一切泛掌舵的,都必登岸。

30 他們必為你放聲痛,把塵土撒在上,在灰中打滾;

31 又為你使頭上光禿,用麻布束腰,號咷痛哭,苦苦悲哀。

32 他們哀號的時候,為你作起哀歌哀哭,說:有何城如推羅﹖有何城如他在中成為寂寞的呢﹖

33 你由上運出貨物,就使許多國民充足;你以許多資財、貨物使上的君豐富。

34 你在深水中被打破的時候,你的貨物和你中間的一切人民,就都沉下去了。

35 居民為你驚奇;他們的君都甚恐慌,面帶愁容。

36 各國民中的客商都向你發嘶聲;你令人驚恐,不再存留於世,直到永遠

277. The innocence of childhood or of children is not genuine innocence, for it is innocence not in internal form but only in external form. Nevertheless one may learn from it what innocence is, since it shines forth from the face of children and from some of their movements and from their first speech, and affects those about them. It can be seen that children have no internal thought, for they do not yet know what is good and what is evil, or what is true and what is false, of which such thought consists.

[2] Consequently they have no prudence from what is their own, no purpose or deliberation, thus no end that looks to evil; neither have they anything of their own acquired from love of self and the world; they do not attribute anything to themselves, regarding all that they have as received from their parents; they are content with the few and paltry things presented to them, and find delight in them; they have no solicitude about food and clothing, and none about the future; they do not look to the world and covet many things from it; they love their parents and nurses and their child companions with whom they play in innocence; they suffer themselves to be led; they give heed and obey.

[3] And being in this state they receive everything as a matter of life; and therefore, without knowing why, they have becoming manners, and also learn to talk, and have the beginning of memory and thought, their state of innocence serving as a medium whereby these things are received and implanted. But this innocence, as has been said above, is external because it belongs to the body alone, and not to the mind; 1 for their minds are not yet formed, the mind being understanding and will and thought and affection therefrom.

[4] I have been told from heaven that children are specially under the Lord's auspices, and that they receive influx from the inmost heaven, where there is a state of innocence; that this influx passes through their interiors, and that in its passing through, their interiors are affected solely by the innocence; and for this reason innocence is shown in their faces and in some of their movements and becomes evident; and that it is this innocence by which parents are inmostly affected, and that gives rise to the love that is called storge.

Notes de bas de page:

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] The innocence of children is not true innocence, but true innocence has its abode in wisdom (Arcana Coelestia 1616, 2305-2306, 3494, 4563, 4797, 5608, 9301, 10021)

The good of childhood is not spiritual good, but it becomes such by the implantation of truth (3504).

Nevertheless the good of childhood is a medium whereby intelligence is implanted (1616, 3183, 9301, 10110).

Without the good of innocence in childhood man would be a wild man (3494).

Whatever the mind is imbued with in childhood appears natural (3494).
