Arcana Coelestia # 3449
3449. 'And Isaac said to them, For what reason have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?' means, Why should they desire that which is Divine seeing that they refused to recognize it and loathed that which is contained in the internal sense of the Word? This becomes clear from what has been stated above at verses 15-16, 19-21.
Isaiah 14:13-15
13
You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!
14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!"
15
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit.
