The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 193
193. Internal Meaning of Hosea, Chapter 10
1-3 The church that was devastated in respect to truths, has a worship similar to this one, and they say that they have truth. (3)
4-5 At heart they worship another god. (3)
6 They will reason against truths. (3)
7-8 They will be cast into hell, where there is such [evil]. (3, 15)
9-10 The evils of punishment come upon them, but in vain. (2)
11-12 They have been taught truths and goods, and admonished, (2, 3)
13-15 and yet they persisted in falsities of evil. Their destruction, in consequence, on the day of judgment. (2)
