Jeremias 33

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens :

2 Hæc dicit Dominus, qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus : Dominus nomen ejus :

3 Clama ad me, et exaudiam te : et annuntiabo tibi grandia et firma quæ nescis.

4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël ad domos urbis hujus, et ad domos regis Juda, quæ destructæ sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium

5 venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldæis, et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea, abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac, propter omnem malitiam eorum.

6 Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos, et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.

7 Et convertam conversionem Juda et conversionem Jerusalem, et ædificabo eos sicut a principio.

8 Et emundabo illos ab omni iniquitate sua in qua peccaverunt mihi, et propitius ero cunctis iniquitatibus eorum, in quibus dereliquerunt mihi et spreverunt me.

9 Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium, et in laudem, et in exsultationem cunctis gentibus terræ, quæ audierint omnia bona quæ ego facturus sum eis : et pavebunt et turbabuntur in universis bonis, et in omni pace quam ego faciam eis.

10 Hæc dicit Dominus : Adhuc audietur in loco isto quem vos dicitis esse desertum, eo quod non sit homo nec jumentum in civitatibus Juda, et foris Jerusalem, quæ desolatæ sunt, absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore,

11 vox gaudii et vox lætitiæ, vox sponsi et vox sponsæ, vox dicentium : Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus Dominus, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus : et portantium vota in domum Domini : reducam enim conversionem terræ sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.

12 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto, absque homine et absque jumento, et in cunctis civitatibus ejus, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.

13 In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus quæ ad austrum sunt, et in terra Benjamin, et in circuitu Jerusalem, et in civitatibus Juda, adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.

14 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et suscitabo verbum bonum quod locutus sum ad domum Israël et ad domum Juda.

15 In diebus illis et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen justitiæ, et faciet judicium et justitiam in terra :

16 in diebus illis salvabitur Juda, et Jerusalem habitabit confidenter : et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum : Dominus justus noster.

17 Quia hæc dicit Dominus : Non interibit de David vir qui sedeat super thronum domus Israël :

18 et de sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocautomata, et incendat sacrificum, et cædat victimas omnibus diebus.

19 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens :

20 Hæc dicit Dominus : Si irritum potest fieri pactum meum cum die, et pactum meum cum nocte, ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo,

21 et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo, ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno ejus, et Levitæ et sacerdotes ministri mei.

22 Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellæ cæli, et metiri arena maris, sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.

23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens :

24 Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens : Duæ cognationes quas elegerat Dominus abjectæ sunt ? Et populum meum despexerunt, eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis.

25 Hæc dicit Dominus : Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges cælo et terræ non posui,

26 equidem et semen Jacob et David servi mei projiciam, ut non assumam de semine ejus principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob : reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.

306. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth. This symbolizes the abolition of charity, of spiritual security, and of inner rest.

Peace symbolizes everything whatever that comes from the Lord, and so everything pertaining to heaven and the church, and the blessings of life in them. In the highest or inmost sense, these are blessings of peace.

It follows from this that peace means charity, spiritual security, and inner rest, for when a person abides in the Lord, he is at peace with his neighbor, which is a state of charity, and he has protection from hell, which is spiritual security. And when he is at peace with his neighbor and has protection from hell, he enjoys an inner rest from evils and falsities.

Accordingly, since all these blessings come from the Lord, it can be seen what is symbolically meant by peace in general and in particular in the following passages:

...unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; the government will be upon His shoulder. His name will be called... God, Hero, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end... (Isaiah 9:6-7)

(Jesus said,) "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you." (John 14:27)

(Jesus said,) "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace." (John 16:33)

In His days the righteous shall flourish, and much peace... (Psalms 72:3, 7)

Then I will make a covenant of peace... (Ezekiel 34:25, 27; 37:25-26)

How delightful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace..., who says to Zion, "Your King reigns!" (Isaiah 52:7)

Jehovah bless you and... lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

Jehovah will bless His people with peace. (Psalms 29:11)

(Jehovah) will redeem my soul in peace... (Psalms 55:18)

The work of (Jehovah) is peace, [and] the labor of righteousness, rest and security forever, that (they) may dwell in a tabernacle of peace, in secure tents, and in tranquil places of rest. (Isaiah 32:17-18)

(Jesus said to the seventy that He sent out,) "Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this house.' And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it." (Luke 10:5-6, cf. Matthew 10:12-14)

The wretched shall possess the earth, and shall delight themselves in an abundance of peace... ...observe the upright man, for the final state for that man is peace. (Psalms 37:11, 37)

(Zacharias, prophesying, said,) ."..the Dayspring from on high has appeared..., to guide our feet into the way of peace." (Luke 1:78-79)

Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. (Psalms 34:14)

Much peace have those who love Your law... (Psalms 119:165)

"Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river...." "There is no peace," says Jehovah, "for the impious." (Isaiah 48:18, 22)

(Jehovah) will speak peace to His people... Righteousness and peace will kiss. (Psalms 85:8, 10)

There is no peace in my bones because of my sin. (Psalms 38:3)

He has filled me with bitterness... ...moved (is) my soul far from peace; I have forgotten goodness. (Lamentations 3:15, 17)

And so on in many other places, from which it can be seen that the aforesaid blessings are meant by peace. Fix your mind on spiritual peace, and you will clearly see.

So likewise in the following places: Isaiah 26:12; 53:5; 54:10, 13; Jeremiah 33:6, 9; Haggai 2:9; Zechariah 8:16, 19; Psalms 4:6-8; 120:6-7; 122:6-9; 128:5-6; 147:14.

To be shown that peace is what inmostly affects every good with bliss, see the book Heaven and Hell, nos. 284-290.
