1 τη ιδουμαια ταδε λεγει κυριος ουκ εστιν ετι σοφια εν θαιμαν απωλετο βουλη εκ συνετων ωχετο σοφια αυτων

2 ηπατηθη ο τοπος αυτων βαθυνατε εις καθισιν οι κατοικουντες εν δαιδαν οτι δυσκολα εποιησεν ηγαγον επ' αυτον εν χρονω ω επεσκεψαμην επ' αυτον

3 οτι τρυγηται ηλθον σοι ου καταλειψουσιν σοι καταλειμματα ως κλεπται εν νυκτι επιθησουσιν χειρα αυτων

4 οτι εγω κατεσυρα τον ησαυ ανεκαλυψα τα κρυπτα αυτων κρυβηναι ου μη δυνωνται ωλοντο δια χειρα αδελφου αυτου και γειτονος αυτου και ουκ εστιν

5 υπολειπεσθαι ορφανον σου ινα ζησηται και εγω ζησομαι και χηραι επ' εμε πεποιθασιν

6 οτι ταδε ειπεν κυριος οις ουκ ην νομος πιειν το ποτηριον επιον και συ αθωωμενη ου μη αθωωθης οτι πινων πιεσαι

7 οτι κατ' εμαυτου ωμοσα λεγει κυριος οτι εις αβατον και εις ονειδισμον και εις καταρασιν εση εν μεσω αυτης και πασαι αι πολεις αυτης εσονται ερημοι εις αιωνα

8 ακοην ηκουσα παρα κυριου και αγγελους εις εθνη απεστειλεν συναχθητε και παραγενεσθε εις αυτην αναστητε εις πολεμον

9 μικρον εδωκα σε εν εθνεσιν ευκαταφρονητον εν ανθρωποις

10 η παιγνια σου ενεχειρησεν σοι ιταμια καρδιας σου κατελυσεν τρυμαλιας πετρων συνελαβεν ισχυν βουνου υψηλου οτι υψωσεν ωσπερ αετος νοσσιαν αυτου εκειθεν καθελω σε

11 και εσται η ιδουμαια εις αβατον πας ο παραπορευομενος επ' αυτην συριει

12 ωσπερ κατεστραφη σοδομα και γομορρα και αι παροικοι αυτης ειπεν κυριος παντοκρατωρ ου μη καθιση εκει ανθρωπος και ου μη ενοικηση εκει υιος ανθρωπου

13 ιδου ωσπερ λεων αναβησεται εκ μεσου του ιορδανου εις τοπον αιθαμ οτι ταχυ εκδιωξω αυτους απ' αυτης και τους νεανισκους επ' αυτην επιστησατε οτι τις ωσπερ εγω και τις αντιστησεται μοι και τις ουτος ποιμην ος στησεται κατα προσωπον μου

14 δια τουτο ακουσατε βουλην κυριου ην εβουλευσατο επι την ιδουμαιαν και λογισμον αυτου ον ελογισατο επι τους κατοικουντας θαιμαν εαν μη συμψησθωσιν τα ελαχιστα των προβατων εαν μη αβατωθη επ' αυτην καταλυσις αυτων

15 οτι απο φωνης πτωσεως αυτων εσεισθη η γη και κραυγη σου εν θαλασση ηκουσθη

16 ιδου ωσπερ αετος οψεται και εκτενει τας πτερυγας επ' οχυρωματα αυτης και εσται η καρδια των ισχυρων της ιδουμαιας εν τη ημερα εκεινη ως καρδια γυναικος ωδινουσης

17 τοις υιοις αμμων ουτως ειπεν κυριος μη υιοι ουκ εισιν εν ισραηλ η παραλημψομενος ουκ εστιν αυτοις δια τι παρελαβεν μελχομ τον γαδ και ο λαος αυτων εν πολεσιν αυτων ενοικησει

18 δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται φησιν κυριος και ακουτιω επι ραββαθ θορυβον πολεμων και εσονται εις αβατον και εις απωλειαν και βωμοι αυτης εν πυρι κατακαυθησονται και παραλημψεται ισραηλ την αρχην αυτου

19 αλαλαξον εσεβων οτι ωλετο γαι κεκραξατε θυγατερες ραββαθ περιζωσασθε σακκους και επιλημπτευσασθε και κοψασθε επι μελχομ οτι εν αποικια βαδιειται οι ιερεις αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου αμα

20 τι αγαλλιαση εν τοις πεδιοις ενακιμ θυγατερ ιταμιας η πεποιθυια επι θησαυροις αυτης η λεγουσα τις εισελευσεται επ' εμε

21 ιδου εγω φερω φοβον επι σε ειπεν κυριος απο πασης της περιοικου σου και διασπαρησεσθε εκαστος εις προσωπον αυτου και ουκ εσται ο συναγων

23 τη κηδαρ βασιλισση της αυλης ην επαταξεν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος ουτως ειπεν κυριος αναστητε και αναβητε επι κηδαρ και πλησατε τους υιους κεδεμ

24 σκηνας αυτων και προβατα αυτων λημψονται ιματια αυτων και παντα τα σκευη αυτων και καμηλους αυτων λημψονται εαυτοις και καλεσατε επ' αυτους απωλειαν κυκλοθεν

25 φευγετε λιαν βαθυνατε εις καθισιν καθημενοι εν τη αυλη οτι εβουλευσατο εφ' υμας βασιλευς βαβυλωνος βουλην και ελογισατο εφ' υμας λογισμον

26 αναστηθι και αναβηθι επ' εθνος ευσταθουν καθημενον εις αναψυχην οις ουκ εισιν θυραι ου βαλανοι ου μοχλοι μονοι καταλυουσιν

27 και εσονται καμηλοι αυτων εις προνομην και πληθος κτηνων αυτων εις απωλειαν και λικμησω αυτους παντι πνευματι κεκαρμενους προ προσωπου αυτων εκ παντος περαν αυτων οισω την τροπην αυτων ειπεν κυριος

28 και εσται η αυλη διατριβη στρουθων και αβατος εως αιωνος ου μη καθιση εκει ανθρωπος και ου μη κατοικηση εκει υιος ανθρωπου

29 τη δαμασκω κατησχυνθη ημαθ και αρφαδ οτι ηκουσαν ακοην πονηραν εξεστησαν εθυμωθησαν αναπαυσασθαι ου μη δυνωνται

30 εξελυθη δαμασκος απεστραφη εις φυγην τρομος επελαβετο αυτης

31 πως ουχι εγκατελιπεν πολιν εμην κωμην ηγαπησαν

32 δια τουτο πεσουνται νεανισκοι εν πλατειαις σου και παντες οι ανδρες οι πολεμισται σου πεσουνται φησιν κυριος

33 και καυσω πυρ εν τειχει δαμασκου και καταφαγεται αμφοδα υιου αδερ

502. Which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt. This symbolizes the two hellish loves, namely, a love of ruling springing from a love of self, and a love of holding sway from a conceit in one's own intelligence, loves which are present in the church where there is not one God and where the Lord is not worshiped, and where people do not live in accordance with the Ten Commandments.

Sodom symbolizes, in the spiritual sense, a love of ruling springing from a love of self, as we shall presently see; and Egypt symbolizes, in the spiritual sense, a love of holding sway from a conceit in one's own intelligence, as we shall also presently see. So, because these two loves are symbolized, therefore the city is called, spiritually speaking, Sodom and Egypt.

These two loves are present in the church where there is not one God and where the Lord is not worshiped, and where people do not live in accordance with the Ten Commandments, because people are born with these two loves, and they come into them as they grow up. Nor can these loves be removed except by God the Savior and by a life in accordance with His commandments, and God cannot remove them unless people turn to Him, and neither is a life in accordance with His commandments possible unless a person is led by Him. Actually it is possible, but not a life that contains anything of heaven and so of the church.

A life like that is possible only from Him who is life. That the Lord is that life may be seen in John 1:1, 4; 5:26; 6:33-35ff., 11:25-26; 14:6, 19, and in many other places.

[2] A love of ruling springing from a love of self, and a love of holding sway from a conceit in one's own intelligence, are the principal loves of all the loves in hell, and so are the origin of all the evils and thus of all the falsities in the church. This is something unknown at the present day. The delights of these loves, which surpass the delights of all the heart's pleasures, cause it to be unknown, even though they are, spiritually, Sodom and Egypt.

That Sodom is a love of ruling springing from a love of self can be seen from the description of Sodom in Genesis, where we are told that when angels arrived there, the inhabitants tried to forcibly assault them at the house of Lot, and that fire and brimstone rained down on them from heaven (Genesis 19:1ff.). Fire and brimstone symbolize that love, together with its appetites.

I saw similar sights when cities and societies of people like that were overthrown at the time of the Last Judgment and their inhabitants cast into hell.

These loves and their accompanying evils are symbolized by Sodom and Gomorrah in the following passages: Isaiah 1:10; 3:8-9; 13:19.

[3] That this love is symbolically meant by Sodom is unknown in the world, but remember it and recall it when you come after death into the world of spirits and you will be completely convinced.

It should be known, however, that a love of ruling springing from a love of self and a love of ruling springing from a love of performing useful services are two different things. The latter love is a heavenly love, while the first is a hellish one. Consequently, when one is in first place, the other is in last place; which is to say, when a love of ruling springing from a love of self forms the head, then a love of ruling springing from a love of performing useful services - which is a love of serving the neighbor originating from the Lord - forms first the feet, then the soles of the feet, and finally is trampled underfoot.

On the other hand, when a love of ruling springing from a love of performing useful services - which, as we said, is a heavenly love - forms the head, then a love of ruling springing from a love of self - which, as we said, is a hellish love - forms first the feet, then the soles of the feet, and finally is trampled underfoot.

Still, these two loves can hardly be distinguished by a person in the world. That is because in outward appearance they are similar. But they can be told apart by this, that a heavenly love is present in people who turn to the Lord and live in accordance with the Ten Commandments, while a hellish love is present in people who do not turn to the Lord, and who do not live in accordance with the Ten Commandments.
