The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 84
84. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 18
1-4 It is represented that those who are in falsities and evils can be reformed by the Lord. (11)
5-8 Therefore those who are converted after repentance, are accepted by the Lord, although they are in falsities and evils. (11)
9-10 On the other hand, those who are in truths and in good, and do evil, perish. (3)
11-13 Those who are in the church are told to repent and be converted; but they will not, (3)
14-16 because they love falsities of every kind, and thereby annihilate the church with themselves. (3)
17 Therefore they will be destroyed. (3)
18 They exalt themselves against the Lord and consequently against His Word, despising Him, and falsifying it. (3)
19-20 Lamentation over this. (3)
21-22 They have no truth of the church, and they act craftily.
Jeremiah 17:26
26
They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing [sacrifices of] thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.
