Ezechiele 23:31
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.
Donkeys
Donkeys signify things relating to the intelligence of the sensual man; and camels, the things of intelligence in the natural man. (Isaiah 30:6, 7)
In Genesis 12:16, donkeys signify earthly knowledge. (Arcana Coelestia 1486)
In 1 Samuel 9:3, donkeys signify the Lord's preparation for His natural life on Earth. (Arcana Coelestia 2781[5])
In Luke 19:28, 41, a donkey and the foal of an donkey signify the natural man as to good and truth.

Declare
To "declare" means to say something formally, publicly and with emphasis; you might say what you think, but you only declare things you're sure of. So just as saying relates to sharing truth at various levels, "declaring" relates to sharing fundamental, unquestioned principles, often those that reveal the Lord and the salvation that lies in His embrace.
In Amos 4:12-13, 'to declare' signifies to flow in.
