以西結書第31章

学习

   

1 十一年初一日,耶和華的臨到我說:

2 人子啊,你要向埃及法老和他的眾人:在威勢上誰能與你相比呢?

3 亞述王曾如利巴嫩中的香柏樹,枝條榮美,影密如林,極其大,樹尖插入雲中。

4 眾水使他生長;深水使他長大。所栽之地有江圍流,汊出的水道延到田野諸

5 所以他高大超過田野諸;發旺的時候,枝子繁多,因得大水之力枝條長長。

6 空中的飛都在枝子上搭窩;田野的走獸都在枝條生子;所有大國的人民都在他蔭居住

7 樹大條長,成為榮美,因為在眾水之旁。

8 園中的香柏不能遮蔽他;松不及他的枝子;楓不及他的枝條;園中的都沒有他榮美。

9 我使他的枝條蕃多,成為榮美,以致伊甸園中的都嫉妒他。

10 所以耶和華如此:因他大,樹尖插入雲中,心驕氣傲,

11 我就必將他交列國中大有威勢的人;他必定辦他。我因他的罪惡,已經驅逐他。

12 外邦人,就是列邦中強暴的,將他砍斷棄掉。他的枝條落在間和一切谷中,他的枝子折斷,落在的一切河旁。上的眾民已經走去,離開他的蔭

13 空中的飛都要宿在這敗落的樹上,田野的走獸都要臥在他的枝條下,

14 使旁的諸不因大而自尊,也不將尖插入雲中,並且那些得滋潤、有勢力的,也不得大自立。因為他們在世人中,和的人都被交與死亡,到陰府去了。

15 耶和華如此:他陰間的那日,我便使人悲哀。我為他遮蓋深淵,使江凝結,大水停流;我也使利巴嫩為他悽慘,田野的諸都因他發昏。

16 我將他扔到陰間,與的人一同去。那時,列國聽見他墜落的響聲就都震動,並且伊甸的一切─就是利巴嫩得滋潤、最佳最美的─都在陰府受了安慰

17 他們也與他同陰間,到被殺的人那裡。他們曾作他的膀,在列國中他的蔭居住

18 在這樣榮耀威勢上,在伊甸園中,誰能與你相比呢?然而你要與伊甸的諸一同到陰府,在未受割禮的人中,與被殺的人一同躺臥。法老和他的群眾乃是如此。這是耶和華的。
