26:19 主耶和華如此說:「泰爾啊,我使你變為荒涼,如無人居住的城邑;又使深水漫過你,大水淹沒你。
26:20 那時,我要叫你下入陰府,與古時的人一同在地的深處、久已荒涼之地居住,使你不再有居民。我也要在活人之地顯榮耀(我也……榮耀:或譯在活人之地不再有榮耀)。
26:21 我必叫你令人驚恐,不再存留於世;人雖尋找你,卻永尋不見。這是主耶和華說的。」
19 "For thus says the Lord God:When I
make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I
bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you, 20 then I will make
you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will
make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, with those who
go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty in
the land of the living. 21 I will bring you to a dreadful end, and you shall be
no more. Though you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the
Lord God."

「深水漫過你,大水淹沒你」:這對當時的人來說,等同於是「落入陰間」。對於熟悉海運經商的推羅人來說,「海難」應該是最深的恐懼。而這一段就用海難的景象來描述推羅將完全滅亡。
說到死亡或滅亡,讓人最害怕的就是隔絕,也就是施去關係,正如人和上帝和別人失去關係,那是何等的失落感啊!
人的死亡就是與上帝關係斷裂,因此上帝為了拯救人,就是與人恢復關係,就必須透過耶穌基督作為中保,你有沒有靠主耶穌與上帝恢復正確合宜的關係了嗎?
