13. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 13

In this chapter, concerning the adulteration of good and truth, which is Babel [or Babylon].

1-3 The Lord will come in Divine power, (1, 15)

4-9 for grievous judgment upon those that have utterly departed, to destroy them, (15)

10-12 because there is no longer any good and truth remaining with them. (15)

13-18 Therefore all will perish with their evils and falsities, (15)

19-22 and abide in hell, where there are direful and horrid evils and falsities. (15, 11)
