Jeremia 22:28
28
CXu cxi tiu homo, Konja, estas objekto malestimata, forpusxita? cxu li estas vazo neamata? kial ili estas forjxetitaj, li kaj lia idaro, jxetitaj en landon, kiun ili ne konis?
Arcana Coelestia # 1260
1260. Since 'nations' in the Most Ancient Church and in the Ancient Church meant goods or good persons, therefore also in the contrary sense they mean evils or evil persons Similarly with 'peoples'; since these meant truths, therefore also in the contrary sense they mean falsities. For in a corrupted Church good is turned into evil, and truth into falsity, as a consequence of which the meaning of nations and peoples in that contrary sense occurs many times in the Word, as in Isaiah 13:4; 14:6; 18:2, 7; 30:28; 34:1-2; Ezekiel 20:13; and in many other places.
