旧约 - 以赛亚书(Isaiah)第23章

The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.
Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.
Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
以赛亚书第廿三章   赛 23 章 > 邪恶的推罗,曾受到哪些先知的警告? 

  23 章 以赛亚针对其他国家发出的预言,是从东边的巴比伦开始(第 13 章),到西边非尼基的推罗结束。推罗是古时最着名的城巿之一,它拥有一个很大的海港,是个重要的贸易中心。推罗很富裕也很邪恶。推罗遭到了耶利米的谴责(参耶 25:22 , 27 ; 47:4 ),以西结的谴责(参结 26-28 ),约珥的谴责(参珥 3:4-8 ),阿摩司的谴责(参摩 1:9-10 )和撒迦利亚的谴责(参亚 9:3-4 )。这里也警告人不要与不稳定的邻邦结成政治联盟。 

  赛 23:5> 推罗灭亡,埃及为什么会“疼痛”呢? 

  23:5 埃及要依赖推罗的运输才可以向世界各地推销和运送他们的货物。推罗的灭亡使埃及失去了一个重要的贸易伙伴。 

  赛 23:9> 推罗毁灭的原因何在?对我们有何鉴戒? 

  23:9 推罗的百姓高傲自恃,引起神愤怒要毁灭推罗。骄傲把人同神分开了,这是神所不能容忍的。我们必须检查自己的生活,所有的成就都来自于创造我们的主,我们没有理由为自己骄傲。 

  赛 23:15-16> 推罗被遗忘七十年,是真有其事吗?
