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 46:27-28
27
But don't you be afraid, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28
Don't you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.
