6354. 'Into their secret place let my soul not come' means that spiritual good has no wish to know the evil intentions of their will. This is clear from the representation of Israel, who says this about himself, as spiritual good, dealt with in 6340; and from the meaning of 'into their secret place let there not come as having no wish to know - to know the evil intentions of their will, which are meant by 'Simeon and Levi', 6352. The expression 'my soul' is used because here 'soul' means the life of good that spiritual good possesses; the life of truth that it possesses is meant by 'glory', referred to immediately below.

Isaiah 59:6-7

Studie

      

6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.
