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.

Apocalypse Explained #1171

Étudier ce passage

  
/ 1232  
  

1171. Stood afar off signifies not now in these things as before because of fear. This is evident from the signification of "standing afar off," as being to be in externals (See n. 1133), so here because of fear, not to be in that delusive wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge by which they had before confirmed the evils and falsities of their doctrine and religious persuasion; for fear causes man to withdraw from these things when he sees the punishments and torments of those who are in them.

(Continuation)

Let the following be added to what has been said.

1. Before reformation the light of the understanding is like the light of the moon, clear according to the knowledges of truth and good; but after reformation it is like the light of the sun, clear according to the application of the knowledges of truth and good to the uses of life.

2. The reason that the understanding has not been destroyed is that man may know truths, and from truths see the evils of his will, and seeing them he may resist them as if from himself, and thus be reformed.

3. And yet man is not reformed from his understanding, but by means of the recognition of truths by the understanding and its seeing evils by them; for the operation of the Lord's Divine providence is into the love of man's will, and from that into the understanding, and not the reverse.

4. The love of the will gives intelligence according to its quality. Natural love from spiritual love gives intelligence in civil and moral matters; but spiritual love in natural love gives intelligence in spiritual matters; but merely natural love and the conceit that comes from it does not give intelligence in spiritual matters, but gives the ability to confirm whatever it pleases, and after confirmation so infatuates the understanding that it sees falsity as truth, and evil as good. Nevertheless, this love does not take away the ability to understand truths in their light; when it is present it takes it away, but not when it is absent.

5. When the will has been reformed, and the wisdom belonging to the understanding has come to be of the love belonging to the will, that is, when wisdom comes to be the love of truth and good in its form, man is like a garden in spring time, when heat is united to light and gives a soul to the germinations. Spiritual germinations are such productions of wisdom from love; and in every such production there is a soul from that love, while its clothing is from wisdom; thus the will is like a father and the understanding like a mother.

6. Such is man's life, not only the life of his mind, but also the life of his body, since the life of the mind acts as one with the life of the body by correspondences. For the life of the will or love corresponds to the life of the heart, and the life of the understanding or wisdom corresponds to the life of the lungs; and these are the two fountains of the life of the body. Man does not know that this is so; nevertheless it is for this reason that an evil person cannot live in heaven, or a good person in hell. For either of these becomes as it were dead when he is not among those with whom the life of his will and thus the life of his understanding acts as one. When he is among such his heart beats freely, and his lungs respire freely; but not when he is among others.
