1 耶和華的臨到我說:

2 人子啊,你要面向亞捫人說預言,攻擊他們,

3 :你們當耶和華的耶和華如此:我的聖所被褻瀆,以色列地變荒涼,猶大家被擄掠;那時,你便因這些事:阿哈!

4 所以我必將你的地交東方人為業;他們必在你的地上安營居住你的果子,你的奶。

5 我必使拉巴為駱駝場,使亞捫人的地為羊群躺臥之處,你們就知道我是耶和華

6 耶和華如此:因你拍頓足,以滿心的恨惡向以色列地歡喜,

7 所以我伸攻擊你,將你交列國作為擄物。我必從萬民中剪除你,使你從萬國中敗亡。我必除滅你,你就知道我是耶和華

8 耶和華如此:因摩押和西珥人:看哪,猶大家與列國無異,

9 所以我要破開摩押邊界上的城邑,就是摩押人看為本國之榮耀的伯耶西末、巴力免、基列亭,

10 好使東方人來攻擊亞捫人。我必將亞捫人之地交他們為業,使亞捫人在列國中不再被記念。

11 我必向摩押施行審判,他們就知道我是耶和華

12 耶和華如此:因為以東報仇雪恨,攻擊猶大家,向他們報仇,大大有罪,

13 所以耶和華如此:我必伸攻擊以東,剪除人與牲畜,使以東從提幔起,人必倒在刀下,地要變為荒涼,直到底但。

14 我必藉我民以色列的報復以東以色列民必照我的怒氣,按我的忿怒在以東施報,以東人就知道是我施報。這是耶和華的。

15 耶和華如此:因非利士人向猶大人報仇,就是以恨惡的心報仇雪恨,永懷仇恨,要毀滅他們,

16 所以耶和華如此:我必伸攻擊非利士人,剪除基利提人,滅絕沿剩下的居民。

17 我向他們施報應,發怒斥責他們。我報復他們的時候,他們就知道我是耶和華

Sea

  

Water generally represents “natural truth,” or true concepts about day-to-day matters and physical things. Since all water ultimately flows into the seas, then, it follows that a sea represents a huge agglomeration of such natural truths -- usually all of the natural truth a person has, or all the natural truth a church has. Water in the sea mixes freely, and is easily stirred up by winds and currents. This is also true of the concepts we hold about natural things -- they are not all related to each other, and when relationships do exist they usually can change without damaging the concepts themselves. Many of the concepts are easily disputed, and arguments can arise like waves on the ocean -- generally with little effect other than a mixing of waters. But the sea also offers great bounty. We draw fish from it (spiritual food), float ships (doctrinal systems) on it, bathe in it (using true concepts to purify ourselves), and the water that evaporates from it and falls as rain (purer forms of truth that can attach to desires for good) makes life possible.

King

  
Meeting of three kings in Potsdam and Charlottenburg, 1709, by Samuel Theodor Gericke

In Genesis 14:1, kings signify apparent goods and truths having the upper hand. In the next verse, they stand for the dominant evils and falsities against which the Lord fought as he passed He grew up on Earth.

In Genesis 14:3, we see that these evils and falsities were unclean; and in Genesis 14:4, that they burst forth later. (Arcana Coelestia 1661-1664).

In Genesis 14:14-15, this signifies that the Lord gained victory over them the evils represented earlier in the chapter. (Arcana Coelestia 1711-1715)

In Isaiah 33:17, a king signifies seeing genuine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 304[31])

In Revelation 9:11, a king signifies one who is in truth from an affection for what is good, and abstractly that truth itself -- here, in the opposite sense. (Apocalypse Revealed 440)
