1 耶和华的又临到我说:

2 人子啊,你对推罗君王耶和华如此:因你傲,:我是;我在之位。你虽然居自比,也不过是人,并不是

3 看哪,你比但以理更有智慧,甚麽秘事都不能向你隐藏。

4 你靠自己的智慧聪明得了财宝,收入中。

5 你靠自己的大智慧和贸易增添资财,又因资财心里傲。

6 所以耶和华如此:因你居自比

7 我必使外邦人,就是列国中的强暴人临到你这里;他们必拔刀砍坏你用智慧得来的美物,亵渎你的荣光。

8 他们必使你坑;你必中,与被杀的人一样。

9 在杀你的人面前你还能我是麽?其实你在杀害你的人中,不过是人,并不是

10 你必在外邦人中,与未受割礼(或译:不洁;下同)的人一样,因为这是耶和华的。

11 耶和华的临到我说:

12 人子啊,你为推罗王作起哀歌耶和华如此:你无所不备,智慧充足,全然美丽

13 你曾在伊甸的园中,佩戴各样宝,就是红宝、红璧玺、、水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉蓝宝石、绿宝、红玉,和黄;又有精美的笛在你那里,都是在你受造之日预备齐全的。

14 你是那受膏遮掩约柜的基路伯;我将你安置在上;你在发光如的宝中间往来。

15 你从受造之日所行的都完全,後来在你中间又察出不义。

16 因你贸易很多,就被强暴的事充满,以致犯罪,所以我因你亵渎圣地,就从驱逐你。遮掩约柜的基路伯啊,我已将你从发光如的宝中除灭。

17 你因美丽傲,又因荣光败坏智慧,我已将你摔倒在,使你倒在君面前,好叫他们目睹眼见。

18 你因罪孽众多,贸易不公,就亵渎你那里的圣所。故此,我使从你中间发出,烧灭你,使你在所有观的人眼前变为上的炉灰。

19 各国民中,凡认识你的,都必为你惊奇。你令人惊恐,不再存留於世,直到永远

20 耶和华的临到我说:

21 人子啊,你要向西顿预言攻击他,

22 耶和华如此:西顿哪,我与你为敌,我必在你中间得荣耀。我在你中间施行审判、显为的时候,人就知道我是耶和华

23 我必使瘟疫进入西顿,使血流在他街上。被杀的必在其中仆倒,四围有刀临到他,人就知道我是耶和华

24 四围恨恶以色列家的人,必不再向他们作刺人的荆棘,伤人的蒺藜,人就知道我是耶和华

25 耶和华如此:我将分散在万民中的以色列招聚回来,向他们在列邦人眼前显为的时候,他们就在我赐仆人雅各之地,仍然居住

26 他们要在这地上安然居住。我向四围恨恶他们的众人施行审判以後,他们要盖造房屋,栽种葡萄园,安然居住,就知道我是耶和华─他们的

Arcana Coelestia#4825

学习本章节

4825. 'And yet again she bore a son' means idolatry. This is clear from the meaning of 'a son' in this case as idolatry; for those born before him meant falsity and evil, 4821, 4823. From this it follows that the third son means idolatry, for these two - falsity and evil - lead to idolatry and are contained within it. Of the three born to Judah by the Canaanite this son was the only one to survive, a third of the Jewish nation being descended from him. The meaning in the internal sense at this point is that this nation sprang from idolatry. Its very strong inclination to idolatrous practice is clear from the historical and the prophetical parts - from the sense of the letter - of the Word; and from its internal sense it is evident that this nation was constantly an idolatrous one. For idolatry consists not only in the worship of idols and graven images, and also the worship of other gods, but even in the worship of external things devoid of internal ones. This kind of idolatrous practice existed constantly among that nation, for they revered external things alone and cast internal ones completely aside, and did not even wish to know about them. They indeed had holy things - such as the Tent of Meeting containing the Ark and the Mercy seat on this, the tables with the loaves on them, the lampstand, and incenses; and outside the Tent there was the altar on which they presented burnt offerings and sacrifices. All these things were called holy, while the inmost part there was called the Holy of Holies, as well as the Sanctuary. Also, there were the vestments they had which were worn by Aaron and their high priests, which were referred to as holy vestments, for these included the ephod and the breastplate where the Urim and Thummin were, besides much else. But these things were not inherently holy; they were holy because they were representative of holy things, that is to say, they were representative of the Divine celestial and spiritual things of the Lord's kingdom, and representative of the Lord Himself. Still less was the holiness of those things due to the people among whom they existed, for those people had no affection at all for the internal things that were represented, only for external ones; and having an affection for external things alone is idolatry. This involves the worship of wood and stone, and also of gold and silver covering these, from a delusion that those objects are inherently holy. This is what the nation was like then and is also like at the present day.

[2] Yet a representative of the Church was nevertheless able to exist among such people because in that which is representative no attention is paid to the person who represents, only to whatever is represented, see 665, 1097 (end), 3670, 4208, 4281, 4288. Consequently their worship did not lead them to blessing and happiness in the next life, but merely to worldly prosperity, provided they adhered to those representatives and did not turn aside to the idols of the gentiles, and in so doing did not become openly idolatrous. For if they did it was no longer possible for that nation to represent anything at all of the Church. This then is what the idolatry, meant by Judah's third son by his Canaanite wife, is describing. This idolatry among that nation had its origin in internal idolatry, for more than all others this nation was governed by self-love and love of the world, 4459 (end), 4570. Among those governed by self-love and love of the world internal idolatry exists, for they worship themselves and they worship the world. They pay attention to holy things for the sake of personal adoration and gain; that is, they have a selfish end in view, and do not have the Lord's Church and kingdom, and so the Lord Himself, in view.
