Apocalypse Revealed # 495
495. And if anyone wants to do them injury, he must be killed in that way. This symbolically means that anyone who condemns the two essential elements is likewise condemned.
To do injury here means, symbolically, to condemn, because it is followed by the statement that the person must be killed, and in the Word to be killed means, symbolically, to be killed spiritually, which is to be condemned. For the Lord says, "With what judgment you judge, you will be judged." (Matthew 7:1-2)
Jeremiah 14:3-4
3
Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
4
Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their heads.
