5160. And in the heavenly Kingdom they see daughters and virgins adorned by the Lord with various accessories wonderfully arranged: flowers of diverse colors, precious stones, and indescribable [other] things, of the kind recounted in Isa. 3[:18-23] and Ezek. 16:10ֱ4 and elsewhere, from which they have such beauty that there is no comparison with all the beauty of virgins on earth. What is more, they know all the things that are symbolized, because virgins there are affections of good and of truth. Consequently these affections are fully displayed, and the individual details are understood by those there.
