726. And adorned with gold and precious stones. This symbolizes the spiritual Divine good and truth contained in the Word among Roman Catholics.

Gold symbolizes goodness (no. 211), precious stones symbolize truth (nos. 231, 540, 570), both of these in the Word.

Good and truth are symbolized because the purple and scarlet symbolize celestial goodness and truth, and the two are conjoined in the Word to bring about a marriage of goodness and truth in it (no. 134). Moreover, celestial goodness and truth, being products of love, are in their essence good, while spiritual goodness and truth, being products of wisdom, are in their essence truth. That celestial goodness and truth are products of love, and spiritual goodness and truth products of wisdom, may be seen in no. 725 above.

What else is meant by the woman's appearing here thus arrayed and adorned may be seen in the preceding number.

Jeremiah 4:30

30 You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; [your] lovers despise you, they seek your life.
