1 LA parola del Signore mi fu ancora indirizzata, dicendo:

2 E tu, figliuol d’uomo, prendi a far lamento di Tiro.

3 E di’ a Tiro, che è posta all’entrata del mare, che mercanteggia co’ popoli in molte isole: Così ha detto il Signore Iddio: O Tiro, tu hai detto: Io son compiuta in bellezza.

4 I tuoi confini erano nel cuor del mare; i tuoi edificatori ti aveano fatta compiutamente bella.

5 Fabbricavano tutte le tue navi di tavole d’abeti di Senir; prendevano de’ cedri del Libano, per farti degli alberi di nave;

6 facevano i tuoi remi di querce di Basan; facevano i tuoi tavolati di avorio, e di legno di busso, che era portato dalle isole di Chittim.

7 Il fin lino di Egitto, lavorato a ricami, era ciò che tu spiegavi in luogo di vela; il giacinto, e la porpora, venuta dalle isole di Elisa, erano il tuo padiglione.

8 Gli abitanti di Sidon, e di Arvad, erano tuoi vogatori; i tuoi savi, o Tiro, erano in te; erano i tuoi nocchieri.

9 Gli anziani di Ghebal, e i suoi savi, erano in te, riparando le tue navi sdrucite; tutte le navi del mare, ed i lor marinai, erano in te, per trafficar teco.

10 Que’ di Persia, e di Lud, e di Put, erano tuoi soldati, ne’ tuoi eserciti; appiccavano in te lo scudo e l’elmo; essi ti rendevano magnifica.

11 I figliuoli di Arvad, e il tuo esercito, erano sopra le tue mura, attorno attorno; e i Gammadei erano nelle tue torri, appiccavano le lor targhe alle tue mura d’ogni’ intorno; essi aggiungevano perfezione alla tua bellezza.

12 La gente di Tarsis mercanteggiava teco, con ricchezze d’ogni maniera in abbondanza; frequentavano le tue fiere, con argento, ferro, stagno, e piombo.

13 Que’ di Iavan, di Tubal, e di Mesec, eran tuoi mercatanti; frequentavano i tuoi mercati con anime umane, e vasellamenti di rame.

14 Que’ della casa di Togarma frequentavano le tue fiere con cavalli, e cavalcatori, e muli.

15 I figliuoli di Dedan erano tuoi mercatanti; molte isole passavano per lo traffico delle tue mani; ti pagavano presenti di denti di avorio, e d’ebano.

16 La Siria trafficava teco della moltitudine de’ tuoi lavori; frequentava le tue fiere, con ismeraldi, e porpora, e ricami, e bisso, e coralli, e rubini.

17 Que’ di Giuda, e del paese d’Israele, erano tuoi mercatanti; frequentavano i tuoi mercati, con grani di Minnit, e Fannag, e miele, e olio, e balsamo.

18 Damasco faceva traffico teco della moltitudine de’ tuoi lavorii, con robe d’ogni maniera in abbondanza; con vino di Helbon, e con lana candida.

19 Dan ancora, e il vagabondo Iavan frequentavano le tue fiere; e facevano che ne’ tuoi mercati vi era ferro forbito, cassia, e canna odorosa.

20 Que’ di Dedan erano tuoi mercatanti, in panni nobili, da cavalli, e da carri,

21 Gli Arabi, e tutti i principi di Chedar, negoziavano teco; facevano teco traffico d’agnelli, e di montoni, e di becchi.

22 I mercatanti di Seba, e di Raema, trafficavano teco; frequentavano le tue fiere con aromati squisiti, e con pietre preziose d’ogni maniera, e con oro.

23 Que’ di Haran, di Canne, e di Eden, mercatanti di Seba, e que’ di Assiria, e di Chilmad, trafficavano teco.

24 Essi negoziavano teco in grosso, di balle di giacinto, e di ricami, e di casse di vestimenti preziosi, legate di corde, e fatte di legno di cedro.

25 Le navi di Tarsis erano le tue carovane, ne’ tuoi mercati; e tu sei stata ripiena, e grandemente glorificata nel cuor de’ mari.

26 I tuoi vogatori ti hanno condotta in alto mare; il vento orientale ti ha rotta nel cuor del mare.

27 Le tue ricchezze, e le tue fiere, e il tuo traffico, i tuoi marinai, e i tuoi nocchieri, quelli che riparavano le tue navi sdrucite, e i tuoi fattori, e tutta la tua gente di guerra, ch’era in te, insieme con tutto il popolo, ch’era in mezzo di te, caderanno nel cuor del mare, nel giorno della tua ruina.

28 Alla voce del grido de’ tuoi nocchieri, le barche tremeranno.

29 E tutti quelli che trattano il remo, i marinai, e tutti i nocchieri del mare, smonteranno dalle lor navi, e si fermeranno in terra.

30 E faranno sentir la lor voce sopra te, e grideranno amaramente, e si getteranno della polvere in sul capo, e si voltoleranno nella cenere.

31 E per te si dipeleranno, e si cingeranno di sacchi, e piangeranno per te con amaritudine d’animo, con amaro cordoglio.

32 E prenderanno a far lamento di te, nelle lor doglianze, e diranno di te ne’ lor rammarichii: Chi era come Tiro? chi era pari a quella che è stata distrutta in mezzo del mare?

33 All’uscir delle tue fiere per mare, tu saziavi molti popoli; tu arricchivi i re della terra per l’abbondanza delle tue ricchezze, e del tuo commercio.

34 Nel tempo che tu sei stata rotta dal mare, nelle profondità delle acque, la tua mercatanzia, e tutto il tuo popolo son caduti in mezzo di te.

35 Tutti gli abitanti delle isole sono stati attoniti di te, e i loro re ne hanno avuto orrore, e ne sono stati conturbati in faccia.

36 I mercatanti fra i popoli hanno zufolato sopra te; tu sei divenuta tutta spaventi, e tu non sarai mai più in perpetuo.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

6419. 'Daughters, [each one] marches onto the wall' means going out to fight against falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'a daughter' as the Church, dealt with in 2362, 3963, here the spiritual Church since that Church is the subject; and from the meaning of 'marching onto the wall' as going out to fight against falsity, as is evident from the words that immediately follow - 'they exasperate him and shoot at him and hate him, do the archers; and he will sit in the strength of his bow', meaning the fight put up by falsity against truth.

[2] The expression 'marches onto the wall' is used because the subject in the internal sense is the attack made by falsities on truth and the protection of truth against falsity; for the spiritual Church represented by 'Joseph' is constantly under attack, but the Lord is constantly protecting it. This explains why in the Word all that makes up that Church is compared to a city with a wall, rampart, gates, and bars; and attacks made on the city describe attacks made on truth by falsities. Hence it also is that 'a city' means matters of doctrine, 402, 2268, 2449, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493, and 'a wall' the truths of faith that serve to defend, or in the contrary sense falsities that serve to destroy. The first meaning - the truths of faith that serve to defend - may be seen in Isaiah,

Ours is a strong city; He will establish salvation for walls and rampart. Open the gates, so that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in. Isaiah 26:1-2.

In the same prophet,

You will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. Isaiah 60:18.

In the same prophet,

Behold, I have engraved you upon [My] hands, your walls are continually before Me. Isaiah 49:16

'Walls' stands for the truths of faith. In the same prophet,

Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen, all day and night they will not be silent, calling Jehovah to mind. Isaiah 62:6.

Here the meaning is similar. In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, the God of Israel, 1 I will convert the weapons of war with which you are fighting with the king of Babel, besieging you outside the wall; I Myself will fight with you with an outstretched hand. Jeremiah 21:4-5.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah thought to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He caused rampart and wall to mourn; they will languish together. Her gates have sunk into the earth, He has destroyed and broken in pieces her bars. Lamentations 2:8-9.

In Ezekiel,

The sons of Arvad, and your army, were on your walls round about, and the Gammadim were in your towers; they hung their shields on your walls round about and they made perfect your beauty. Ezekiel 27:11.

This refers to Tyre, which means cognitions of good and truth.

[3] The fact that such things are meant by a city and its walls becomes perfectly clear from the description of the holy Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, as seen by John. From every detail of the description it is evident that a new Church is meant by that city; and by its wall is meant Divine Truth going forth from the Lord. The city is depicted in John as follows,

The holy Jerusalem coming down from heaven, having a wall great and high, having twelve gates - the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. He who talked to me measured the city and its gates, and its wall. Its wall was a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The structure of the wall was jasper, and the city pure gold, like pure glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. Revelation 21:10, 12, 14, 15, 17-19.

[4] The fact that 'the wall' means Divine Truth going forth from the Lord, and from this means the truth of faith coming out of the good of charity, is evident from the details regarding the wall that are mentioned in that description, such as the detail that the wall had twelve foundations, and in them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb; for 'twelve means all, 3272, 3858, 3913, and 'the wall and its foundations' the truths of faith - much the same as is meant by 'the twelve apostles', 3488, 3858 (end), 6397. Then there is the detail that the wall was a hundred and forty-four cubits high, much the same being meant by that number as by twelve, which is all, since it is the product of twelve multiplied by twelve. And since that number used in reference to the wall means all truths and goods of faith, the expression 'which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel' is added. Other details that are given are that the structure of the wall was jasper, and that its foundations were adorned with every precious stone; for 'jasper' and 'precious stones' mean the truths of faith, 114.

[5] The meaning of 'wall' in the contrary sense - falsities that serve to destroy - is evident from the following places: In Isaiah,

A day of tumult in the valley of vision. The Lord Jehovih Zebaoth has destroyed the wall, so that there is a shout towards the mountain. For Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men (homo), [and] horsemen. The horsemen surely positioned themselves right at the gate. Isaiah 22:5-7.

In the same prophet,

The defence-work of your walls providing refuge 2 He will pull down, cast down, lay flat on the ground, 3 right down into the dust. Isaiah 25:12.

In Jeremiah,

Go up onto its walls and throw down. Jeremiah 5:10.

In the same prophet,

I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, which will consume the palaces of Benhadad. Jeremiah 49:27.

In the same prophet,

Raise a standard against the walls of Babel, keep watch, post watchmen. Jeremiah 51:12.

In Ezekiel,

They will overturn the walls of Tyre, and destroy her towers, and I will scrape her dust from her and make her a bare rock. Ezekiel 16:4, 8-9, 11.
