The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 91
91. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 25
1-3 The Lord to those with whom the church has been instituted. (11, 2)
4-7 He taught them continually by the Word, that they should refrain from evils, and not go away to any other worship than that of the Lord; but they did not obey. (2, 11)
8-11 Therefore everything of the church among them will perish, and they will be in temptations from those who profane things holy. (2)
12 Retribution will afterwards visit the tempters. (2, 11, 3)
13-14 It will so come to pass. (2, 11)
15-27 Knowledges [cognitiones] of truth and good, and also truths of every kind and sort will perish. (3)
28-30 This cannot otherwise than come to pass, even with those who are in knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word. (3)
31-33 There is no longer any truth that has not been profaned. (3)
34-38 Lamentation by those who are in good, and in truths therefrom. (11)
Jeremiah 25:28-30
28
It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: You shall surely drink.
29
For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Armies.
30
Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth.
