23
열국은 이스라엘 족속이 그 죄악으로 인하여 사로잡혀 갔던 줄 알지라 그들이 내게 범죄하였으므로 내 얼굴을 그들에게 가리우고 그들을 그 대적의 손에 붙여 다 칼에 엎드러지게 하였으되
에스겔 39:23
Arcana Coelestia # 2687
2687. 'For she said, Let me not see the death of the boy' means grief that [spiritual truth] would thus perish. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing the death' as perishing, and from the meaning of 'the boy' as spiritual truth, dealt with above. From this and from the feeling of despair because truth has been made desolate it is evident that it is a more interior grief that these words hold within them.
