1 HE ENs Ord kom til mig således:

2 Mennesskesøn, sig til Tyruss Fyrste: Så siger den Herre HE EN: Fordi dit Hjerte hovmoder sig og du siger: "Jeg er en Gud, på et Gudesæde sidder jeg midt ude i Havet!" skønt du er et Menneske og ingen Gud, og fordi du føler dig i Hjertet som en Gud;

3 se, du er visere end Daniel, ingen Vismand måler sig med dig;

4 ved din Visdom og indsigt vandt du dig igdom og samlede dig Guld og Sølv i dine Skatkamre;

5 ved dit store Handelssnilde øgede du din igdom, så dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over den -

6 derfor, så siger den Herre HE EN: Fordi du i dit Hjerte føler dig som en Gud,

7 se, derfor bringer jeg fremmede over dig, de grummeste Folk, og de skal drage deres Sværd mod din skønne Visdom og vanhellige din Glans.

8 De skal styrte dig i Graven, og du skal de ihjelslagnes Død i Havets Dyb.

9 Mon du da Ansigt til Ansigt med dem, der dræber dig, vil sige: "Jeg er en Gud!" du, som i deres Hånd, der slår dig ihjel, er et Menneske og ikke en Gud.

10 De uomskårnes Død skal du for fremmedes Hånd, så sandt jeg har talet, lyder det fra den Herre HE EN.

11 Og HE ENs Ord kom til mig således:

12 Menneskesøn, istem en Klagesang over kongen af Tyrus og sig til ham: Så siger den Herre HE EN: Du var Indsigtens Segl, fuld af Visdom og fuldkommen i Skønhed.

13 I Eden, Guds Have, var du; alle Slags Ædelsten var din Klædning, Harneol, Topas, Jaspis, Krysolit, Sjoham, Onyks, Safir, ubin, Smaragd og Guld var på dig i indfattet og indlagt Arbejde; det var til ede, den Dag du skabtes.

14 Du var en salvet, skærmende Kerub; jeg gjorde dig dertil; på det hellige Gudebjerg var du; du vandrede imellem Guds Sønner.

15 Fuldkommen var du i din Færd, fra den Dag du skabtes, indtil der fandtes Brøde hos dig.

16 Ved din megen Handel fyldte du dit Indre med Uret og forbrød dig; da vanhelligede jeg dig og viste dig bort fra Gudebjerget og tilintetgjorde dig, skærmende Kerub, så du ikke blev mellem Guds Sønner.

17 Dit Hjerte hovmodede sig over din Skønhed, du satte din Visdom til på Grund af din Glans. Jeg, slængte dig til Jorden og overgav dig til Konger, at de skulde nyde Skuet af dig.

18 Med dine mange Misgerninger, ved din uredelige Handel vanhelligede du dine Helligdomme. Da lod jeg Ild bryde løs i din Midte, og den fortærede dig; jeg gjorde dig til Støv på Jorden for alle, som så dig.

19 Alle blandt Folkeslagene, der kendte dig, stivnede af Skræk over dig; du blev en ædsel, og borte er du for evigt.

20 HE ENs Ord kom til mig således:

21 Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Zidon og profeter imod det

22 og sig: Så siger den Herre HE EN: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Zidon, og herliggør mig på dig; og du skal kende, at jeg er HE EN, når jeg holder Dom over dig og viser min Hellighed på dig.

23 Jeg sender Pest over dig og Blod i dine Gader; ihjelslagneMænd skal segne i din Midte for Sværd, der er rettet imod dig fra alle Sider; og du skal kende, at jeg er HE EN.

24 Fremtidig skal der ikke være nogen Tidsel til at såre eller Torn til at stikke Israels Hus blandt alle dets Naboer, som nu håner dem; og de skal kende, at jeg er den Herre HE EN.

25 siger den Herre HE EN: Når jeg samler Israels Slægt fra de Folkeslag, de er spredt iblandt, vil jeg hellige mig på dem for Folkenes Øjne, og de skal bo i deres Land, som jeg gav min Tjener Jakob;

26 de skal bo trygt deri, bygge Huse og plante Vingårde, ja bo trygt, medens jeg holder Dom over alle dem, der håner dem fra alle Sider; og de skal kende, at jeg er HE EN deres Gud.

Garden

  
In the Garden, by José Navarro Llorens (1867-1923)

Plants, in general, represent knowledge, ideas, and intellectual concepts -- things of the mind. Plant the best and most beautiful of those in one place, give them plenty of water (truth from the Lord about day-to-day things), plenty of sunlight (the Lord's wisdom) and warmth (the Lord's love), tend them to keep the weeds (false ideas) out, and you get a garden. So it makes sense that a garden in the Bible represents the intellect, where with proper care we can nurture the best and most useful ideas and ways of thinking.

5576. 'And the famine grew more serious' means the desolation resulting from the dearth of spiritual things. This is clear from the meaning of 'the famine' as an absence of cognitions of goodness and truth, dealt with in 3364, 5277, 5279, 5181, 5300, and the consequent desolation, 5360, 5376, 5415. And because desolation can arise from a shortage and consequent dearth of spiritual realities, 'the famine' has this meaning too. A famine in the spiritual world or heaven is not a hunger for [bodily] food, for angels do not feed on material food, which is the food for that body which a person carries around in the world. Rather it is a hunger for the kind of food that nourishes their minds, and this, which is called spiritual food, consists in understanding what is true and in having a wise discernment of what is good. And what is amazing, angels are nourished with this food.

[2] This has been made clear to me by the fact that after young children, who have died as young children, have been furnished in heaven with truths that are the constituents of intelligence and with forms of good that are the essence of wisdom, they no longer look like young children but adults, increasingly so as goodness and truth increase with them. The nourishment of angels by spiritual food has also been made clear to me by the fact that they have a constant desire for those things that are the constituents of intelligence and wisdom. At their eveningtime, that is, when they pass through a state in which they lack what they desire, that state compared with other states holds no happiness for them. In that state there is nothing that they hunger and long for more than a new dawning of morning light upon them and their return to the life filled with happiness that comes with intelligence and wisdom.

[3] It may also be seen by anyone who stops to reflect on the matter that understanding what is true and desiring what is good constitute spiritual food. If someone who is enjoying material food that serves to nourish the body is at the same time in a cheerful state of mind and is engaged in conversation about the kinds of things that accord with that state of mind, the material food for the body becomes all the more nourishing. This is an indication of the existence of a correspondence between spiritual food, which feeds the soul, and material food, which feeds the body. The same is clear in addition from the experience of someone who has the desire to furnish his mind with ideas that constitute knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom. If he is denied these he begins to feel sad and distressed, and like somebody in time of famine he has the desire to return to his spiritual food and so to the nourishment of his soul.

[4] It may also be seen from the Word that spiritual food is what nourishes the soul in the way material food nourishes the body, as in Moses,

Man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every utterance of the mouth of Jehovah. Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4.

In general 'utterance of the mouth of Jehovah' is the Divine Truth which goes forth from the Lord, and so is every truth contained in wisdom; specifically it is the Word, the foundation and source of ideas constituting wisdom. And in John,

Do not labour for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. John 6:17.

This 'food' is clearly the truth that is contained in wisdom and that goes forth from the Lord.

[5] From this one may also recognize what is meant by these words of the Lord recorded in the same chapter,

My flesh is truly food, and My blood truly is drink. John 6:55.

That is to say, 'the Lord's flesh' is Divine Good, 3813, and 'His blood' Divine Truth, 4735. For now that the Lord has made His Human completely Divine, His 'flesh' is nothing else than Divine Good, and His 'blood' nothing else than Divine Truth. One has to understand that in the Divine there is nothing material; therefore in the highest sense, that is, where it has reference to the Lord, 'food' is the Good of Divine Love directed towards the salvation of the human race. This food is also the kind that is meant by the Lord's words in John,

Jesus said to the disciples, I have food to eat of which you do not know. My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. John 4:32, 34.

'Doing the will of Him who sent Me, and finishing His work' is saving the human race; and the Divine attribute which motivates this is Divine Love.

From all this one may now see what is meant in the spiritual sense by 'the famine'.
