75. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 9

1 [See above, end of chapter 8.] (11)

2 In the church is nothing but what is falsified and evil therefrom, because they depart from the Lord. (3)

4-6 One falsity comes from another even until there is nothing but falsity in which [they are]. (3)

7-8 When they are being taught they feign that they wish it, but they do not. (3)

9 Must they not perish? (3)

10-12 Grief because of the destruction of all things of the church, even until nothing remains. (3)

13-15 Because they have repudiated the Word, and have obeyed their own lusts, they are in falsities of evil; (3)

16 and therefore they will be destroyed by evils, and falsities therefrom. (3, 16)

17-19 Lamentation over devastation. (3)

20-21 Lamentation that from this there is destruction, (3)

22 because they have infernal evil and falsity. (3)

23-24 Let it be known that everything of truth and good, and hence everything of power and wisdom, is from acknowledgment of the Lord. (15, 11)

25-26 The Coming of the Lord to judgment upon all who are in externals without internals. (15)
