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。

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

892. Once someone has been regenerated he enters for the first time into a state of freedom. Previously he has been in a state of slavery. It is slavery when evil desires and falsities predominate, freedom when affections for good and truth do so. As long as he is in a state of slavery, a person never perceives what his situation is. Only when he enters a state of freedom does he start to do so. When he is in a state of slavery, that is, when evil desires and falsities predominate, the person who has become subject to them imagines that he is in a state of freedom. That however is sheer falsity, for he is at that time being carried away by the delight that accompanies desires and resulting pleasures, that is, by the delight accompanying the loves that are his own. And because he is being carried away by such delight it seems to him as though he were a free man. While anyone is being led on by any kind of love, and following wherever it leads, he imagines that he is free. It is however the devilish spirits, in whose company and so to speak fast moving stream he is caught, who carry him away. This person imagines that this is absolute freedom, indeed he goes so far as to believe that if he were robbed of this state he would be entering upon a very miserable existence, in fact into no existence at all. This he believes not only because he is unaware of the existence of any other kind of life but also because he has gained the impression that nobody can enter heaven without suffering hardships, poverty, and deprivation of pleasures. That this is false however I have been given to know from considerable experience. That experience will in the Lord's Divine mercy be described later on.

[2] No one ever enters into a state of freedom until he has been regenerated and is being led by the Lord by means of the love of good and truth. When he has entered that state he is enabled to know and perceive for the first time what freedom really is, because he can at that point know and perceive what life is, what the true delight in life is, and what happiness is. Prior to this he does not even know what good is, and sometimes that which is supremely good he calls supremely evil. When persons who are in a state of freedom from the Lord see the life that goes with evil desires and falsities, and even more when they experience it, they are as appalled by it as people who see hell opened before their eyes. But because the majority of people have no knowledge at all of what a life of freedom is, let a brief mention of it be made here: A life of freedom, or freedom itself, means being led exclusively by the Lord. Quite a number of obstacles stand in the way of a person's being able to believe that that kind of life is a life of freedom. One obstacle is that people undergo temptations, which take place for the purpose of freeing them from the dominion of devilish spirits. Another is that they know of no other delight and good apart from those belonging to the desires that result from self-love and love of the world. A further obstacle is that they have formed a false impression of all the things that belong to heavenly life. Consequently they are less able to learn from descriptions than from actual experiences, which in the Lord's Divine mercy will be introduced later on.
