c****g 发帖数: 3893 | 1 The Book of Isaiah has the following passage:
When the Lord has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard
service with which you were made to serve, you will take up this taunt
against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased! How his insolence
has ceased! … How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How
you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in
your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars
of God; I will sit on the mount of congregation on the heights of Zaphon; I
will ascend to the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most
High." But you are brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit. Those
who see you will stare at you, and ponder over you: "Is this the man who
made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world like a desert
and overthrew its cities, who would not let his prisoners go home?[9] |
