1 I stalo se slovo Hospodinovo ke mně, řkoucí:

2 Ty pak synu člověčí, vydej se nad Týrem v naříkání,

3 A rci Týru, jenž sedě tu, kdež se na moře pouštějí, kupectví provodí s národy na ostrovích mnohých: Takto praví Panovník Hospodin: Ó Týre, ty jsi říkal: Já jsem nejkrásnější.

4 U prostřed moře byly hranice tvé, stavitelé tvoji dokonale tě ozdobovali.

5 Z jedloví z Sanir dělávali všecka taflování tvá, cedry z Libánu brávali k dělání sloupů tvých.

6 Z dubů Bázanských dělávali vesla tvá, a lavičky tvé dělávali z kostí slonových, a z pušpanu z ostrovů Citejských.

7 Kment s krumpováním Egyptským býval plátno tvé, z něhož jsi plachty míval; modrý postavec a šarlat z ostrovů Elisa přikrýval tě.

8 Obyvatelé Sidonští i Arvadští bývali plavci tvoji, moudří tvoji v tobě, ó Týre, ti bývali správcové tvoji.

9 Starší Gebalští a moudří jejich opravovali v tobě zbořeniny tvé; všecky lodí mořské i plavci jejich bývali v tobě, směňujíce s tebou kupectví.

10 Perští a Ludští i Putští bývali v vojště tvém bojovníci tvoji, pavézu a lebku zavěšovali v tobě. Tiť jsou přidávali tobě ozdoby.

11 Arvadští s vojskem tvým na zdech tvých vůkol, též Gamadští na věžech tvých bývali, štíty své zavěšovali na zdech tvých vůkol. Tiť jsou tě zvláštně ozdobovali.

12 Zámořští kupci tvoji v množství všelijakého zboží, v stříbře, železe, cínu i olově kupčili na jarmarcích tvých.

13 Javan, Tubal a Mešech, kupci tvoji, lidi a nádobí měděné dávali za směnu tobě.

14 Z domu Togarma v koních a jezdcích i mezcích kupčili na jarmarcích tvých.

15 Synové Dedanovi kupci tvoji, a ostrovové mnozí překupníci byli koupí tvých, tobě k ruce; rohy, kosti slonové i dříví hebénové směňovali za mzdu tvou.

16 Syrští kupci tvoji pro množství věcí tvých řemeslně udělaných, v karbunkulích, šarlatu, krumpování i kmentu, a korálích a křištálích kupčívali na jarmarcích tvých.

17 Judští i země Izraelská kupci tvoji, pšenici Mennitskou i Fenickou, a med, olej i kadidlo dávali za směnu tobě.

18 Damašští kupci tvoji, pro množství věcí tvých řemeslně udělaných, kupčili ve množství všelijakého zboží, ve víně Chelbonském a vně bělostkvoucí.

19 Též Dan i Javan chodíce na jarmarky tvé, kupčili, a železo pulerované, kassii i třtinu vonnou tobě směňovali.

20 Dedan kupčíval v tobě v suknech drahých k vozům.

21 Arabští i všecka knížata Cedarská kupčívali tobě k ruce v beranech a skopcích i kozlích, tím kupčívali v tobě.

22 Kupci Sabejští i Ragmejští bývali kupci tvoji ve všelijakých nejpřednějších vonných věcech, i ve všelijakém kamení drahém i zlatě, kupčívali na jarmarcích tvých.

23 Cháran a Kanne i Eden, kupci Sabejští, Assur i Kilmad kupčíval v tobě.

24 Ti bývali kupci tvoji na jarmarcích tvých s nejvýbornějšími věcmi, s štoučkami postavce modrého, a s krumpováním i s klénoty drahých věcí, kteréž se provazy svazují a zavírají do cedru.

25 Lodí mořské předek měly v kupectví tvém. Summou, naplněno jsi i zvelebeno náramně u prostřed moře.

26 Na vodu velikou zavezli tě ti, kteříž tě vesly táhli; vítr východní potříská tě u prostřed moře.

27 Zboží tvá i jarmarkové tvoji, kupectví tvá, plavci tvoji a správcové tvoji, i ti, kteříž opravovali zbořeniny tvé, a směňovali s tebou kupectví, a všickni muži váleční tvoji, kteříž byli v tobě, i všecko shromáždění tvé, kteréž bylo u prostřed tebe, padnou do hlubokosti mořské v den pádu tvého.

28 Od hřmotu křiku správců tvých zbouří se i vlnobití.

29 I vystoupí z lodí svých všickni ti, kteříž táhnou veslem, plavci i všickni správcové lodí mořských na zemi stanou,

30 A hlasem velikým nad tebou naříkati a žalostně křičeti budou, a sypouce prach na hlavy své, v popele se váleti.

31 Nadto zdělajíce příčinou tvou lysiny,přepáší se žíněmi, a kvílením hořkým nad tebou s žalostí srdečnou plakati budou.

32 Vydadí se, pravím, nad tebou s hořekováním svým v naříkání, a budou naříkati nad tebou: Které město podobné Týru, zahlazenému u prostřed moře?

33 Když vycházely koupě tvé z moře, nasycovalo jsi národy mnohé; množstvím zboží svého i kupectví svých zbohacovalos krále zemské.

34 Ale když ztroskotáno budeš od moře v hlubokých vodách, kupectví tvé i všecko shromáždění tvé u prostřed tebe klesne.

35 Všickni obyvatelé ostrovů ztrnou nad tebou, a králové jejich ohromeni jsouce, zhrozí se náramně.

36 Kupci mezi národy ckáti budou nad tebou; k hrůze veliké budeš, a nebude tě na věky.

9466. 'And violet' means the celestial love of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'violet' as the celestial love of truth, the reason why 'violet' has this meaning being that it is a celestial colour, and by this colour truth from a celestial origin is meant, that is, truth springing from the good of love to the Lord. This good predominates in the inmost heaven, revealing itself in the middle or second heaven as the colours purple and violet. The actual good reveals itself as purple, and the truth springing from it as violet. For when colours appear in the next life, and in heaven itself, they are most beautiful ones; and they all have their origin in goodness and truth. For the sphere of affections for goodness and truth is revealed to the eyes of angels and of spirits also by means of colours, specific things being revealed by means of objects variously coloured, and also to their nostrils by means of odours. For every celestial reality belonging to good or spiritual reality belonging to truth is represented in the lower heavens by means of the kinds of things that appear in the natural order, and by this means is revealed to the actual external senses of spirits and angels in those heavens. The reason why the spheres of affection for goodness and truth are revealed visually by means of colours is that colours are modifications of heavenly light, and so of intelligence and wisdom, see 4530, 4677, 4742, 4922.

[2] This now explains why the materials that were to be gathered together for the tabernacle and Aaron's garments included violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and skins of red rams; for the tabernacle represented the Lord's heaven, the materials which were used to construct and cover it represented the celestial and spiritual realities that belong to goodness and truth, and Aaron's garments had a like representation, 9457. It explains why the veil within which the ark of the Testimony was placed was woven from violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen thread, Exodus 26:31, as likewise was the covering for the door of the tent, Exodus 26:36, and the covering for the gate of the court as well, Exodus 27:16, and why the loops on the edge of the curtain were made of violet, Exodus 26:4. It also explains why the ephod was made of gold, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and linen thread woven together, as was the breastplate of judgement, Exodus 28:6, 15.

[3] 'Violet' means the celestial love of truth, and 'garments made of violet' cognitions or knowledge of truth present as a result of that love, in Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you an ensign; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. They were your traders with choice wares, 1 with balls of violet, and embroidery, and with chests of precious garments. Ezekiel 27:7, 24.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions of truth and good are meant, 1201. Knowledge and understanding acquired from these is described by 'embroidered work from Egypt', and by 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah'. 'Embroidered work from Egypt' is factual knowledge of truth, and 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah' is an understanding of truth and good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Two women, the daughters of one mother, in their youth committed whoredom in Egypt - Oholah and Oholibah. Oholah committed whoredom under Me and doted on the Assyrians her neighbours - clothed in violet, governors and leaders, horsemen riding on horses. Ezekiel 23:2-6.

'Oholah' stands for Samaria, and 'Oholibah' for Jerusalem, Samaria in this instance being the corrupted spiritual Church. 'Committing whoredom in Egypt' means falsifying truths by means of factual knowledge, 'doting on the Assyrians her neighbours' stands for having a love of reasonings based on those falsifications, and 'clothed in violet' stands for ideas which look like truth springing from good because they are derived from the literal sense of the Word interpreted wrongly.

[5] Something similar occurs in Jeremiah,

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the molder. Their clothing is violet and purple. These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:9.

This refers to the idols of the house of Israel, by which false teachings, supported by distortions of the outward sense of the Word, are meant, 9424. 'The work of the smith and of the hands of the molder', and also 'these are all the work of the wise', stand for the fact that they are the product of self-intelligence. 'Silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz' stands for their seeming to outward appearance to be true and good because they are taken from the Word; and much the same is meant by 'violet and purple' of which their clothing consisted.

[6] In John,

I saw horses in the vision, and those seated on them had breastplates of fire and violet and brimstone, by whom a third part of mankind was killed. Revelation 9:17-18.

'Horses' and 'those seated on them' stand for a topsy-turvy and corrupted understanding of truth. 'Breastplates of fire, violet, and brimstone' stands for defence of falsities that arise from the evils of devilish kinds of love. In this instance therefore 'fire' stands for the hellish love of evil, and 'violet' for the hellish love of falsity. They are accordingly used in the contrary sense; for the majority of things in the Word also have a contrary meaning.

374. That 'the voice of blood' 1 means violence done to charity is clear from many places in the Word where 'voice' stands for everything that accuses, and 'blood' for all sin, especially hatred. For anyone who hates his brother murders him in his own heart, as the Lord teaches,

You have heard that it was said to the men of old, You shall not kill, and whoever kills will be liable to judgement. But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without cause will be liable to judgement. Whoever indeed says to his brother, Raca! will be liable to the Sanhedrin. And whoever says You fool! will be liable to the Gehenna of fire. Matthew 5:21-22.

These sayings denote degrees of hatred. Hatred is contrary to charity; and though a person does not actually commit murder, the intention to do so is still there, and by whatever possible method. It is external restraints alone which prevent murder actually being committed. And this is why all hatred is called blood, as in Jeremiah,

How well you direct Your way in the quest for love! Yes, in your skirts the blood of needy innocent souls is found. Jeremiah 2:33-34.

[2] And since hatred is meant by blood, so is every kind of wickedness, for hatred is the source of all wickedness, as in Hosea,

Perjuring, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they commit robbery, and blood' has followed on blood. 1 Therefore the land will mourn and every inhabitant will anguish. Hosea 4:2-3.

And in Ezekiel,

Will you judge the city of blood' and declare to her all her abominations? A City that sheds blood' in the midst of her. By your blood which you have shed you have become guilty. Ezekiel 22:2-4, 6, 9.

This is referring to the lack of compassion. In the same prophet,

The land is full of the judgement of blood, 1 and the city is full of violence. Ezekiel 7:23.

And in Jeremiah,

For the sins of the prophets of Jerusalem, the iniquities of her priests who shed in the midst of her the blood of the righteous, they wander blind in the streets; they are defiled with blood. Lamentations 4:13-14.

In Isaiah,

When the Lord will have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and wiped away from its midst the blood 1 of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning. Isaiah 4:4.

In the same prophet,

Your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Isaiah 59:3.

In Ezekiel,

I passed by you and saw you weltering in your blood, 1 and I said to you, Live in your blood 1 I indeed said to you, Live in your blood. 1 Ezekiel 16:6, 22.

This refers to the abominations of Jerusalem, which are called 'blood' 1 . Lack of compassion, and hatred, in the last times a real so described as blood in Revelation 16:3-4. The plural 'bloods' is used because all forms of iniquity and abomination well up out of hatred, just as all forms of good and holiness do out of love. Anyone therefore who hates his neighbour would murder him if he could, and he does do so in whatever way he can. That is to say, he does him violence, which is strictly the meaning here of 'voice of blood'. 1
