27
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
Ezekiel 16:27
Fury
Fury is a receding from good, and anger is a receding from truth.
In Genesis 49:20, this signifies turning away from confirmed truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6359)
In Exodus 15:7, this signifies the fury of lusts and their endeavor to inflict violence. (Arcana Coelestia 8284)
In Zephaniah 1:15, this signifies the advent of the Lord to judgment. (Divine Love and Wisdom 5)
In Revelation 14:10, this signifies truth from which comes good. (Apocalypse Revealed 635)

It's common to say “I see” when we understand something. And indeed, “seeing” in the Bible represents grasping and understanding spiritual things. So it makes sense that the eyes, which allow us to see, represent the intellect, which allows us to understand spiritual things. This can also be used in the negative, of course; the Bible speaks of people having eyes and refusing to see, and the Lord when He was in the world advised plucking out an offending eye. These represent a refusal to acknowledge truth, or being misled by falsity.
