Ezechiele 23:11
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Quest’è la tua sorte, la parte delle tue misure, da parte mia, dice il Signore; perciocchè tu mi hai dimenticato, e ti sei confidata in menzogna.

Heaven and Hell # 34
34. Furthermore, all perfection increases towards interiors and decreases towards exteriors since interiors are nearer to the Divine, and are in themselves purer, while exteriors are more remote from the Divine and are in themselves grosser. 1 Angelic perfection consists in intelligence, wisdom, love and every good, and in the happiness therefrom, but not in happiness without these, for, without them happiness is external and not internal. Because with the angels of the inmost heaven the interiors have been opened in the third degree, their perfection immeasurably surpasses that of the angels in the middle heaven, whose interiors have been opened in the second degree.
In the same way, the perfection of the angels of the middle heaven exceeds the perfection of the angels of the outermost heaven.

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] Interiors are more perfect because nearer to the Divine (Arcana Coelestia 3405, 5146-5147).
In the internal there are thousands and thousands of things that appear in the external as one general thing (Arcana Coelestia 5707).
As far as man is raised from externals towards interiors, so far he comes into light and thus into intelligence and the elevation is like rising out of a cloud into clearness (Arcana Coelestia 4598, 6183, 6313).
