Arcana Coelestia # 9190
9190. 'Anyone lying with a beast' means being joined to the evils that belong to the desires of self-love. This is clear from the meaning of 'lying with' as being joined to; and from the meaning of 'a beast' as a good affection with people who are good, and an evil affection with those who are evil, dealt with in 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 2781, 3518, 3519, 5198, 7424, 7523, 7872, 9090, thus evil desires, at this point the desires of self-love. The term 'evil desires' is used to mean evil affections.
Jonah 3:7-8
7
He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, "Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
8
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
