7666. See ye that evil is before your faces. That this signifies that in the desire there is no good, is evident from the signification of “faces,” as being the interiors in respect to the affections and the derivative thoughts (see n. 358, 1999, 2434, 3527, 3573, 4066, 4797, 5102, 5168, 5695, 6604); and as “faces” denote the affections, they denote also the desires. Hence it is that “evil before your faces” signifies that in the affections or in the desire there is no good.
