The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 112
112. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 46
The natural of man will perish by reasonings from knowledges [scientifica]. (3)
1-6 All such knowledges are no longer of any avail, because they have been destroyed by means of reasonings. (3)
7-10 Pride in these will be lowered, and they will become falsities. (3)
11-12 They cannot be healed, because the church has been destroyed by means of these falsities. (3, 15)
13-19 The whole natural perishes, nor is there anything there but falsity and evil. (3)
20-24 All its learning which confirms falsities will perish. (3, 11)
25-26 The like will happen to others who trust in knowledges [scientifica]. (3, 11)
27-28 It is otherwise with those who are in spiritual captivity, who will constitute the church. (11, 11)
Jeremiah 46:13-19
13
The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.
14
Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say, Stand forth, and prepare; for the sword has devoured around you.
15
Why are your strong ones swept away? they didn't stand, because Yahweh did drive them.
16
He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one on another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.
17
They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.
18
As I live, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19
You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
