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 46:25-26
25
Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him:
26
and I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says Yahweh.
