In Isaiah 29:9, the phrase 'to be drunken without wine' points to people who don't care about the Word or the truths of faith, and thus have no inclination to know any thing about faith. (Arcana Coelestia 1072[6])

2020. 'Throughout their generations' means the things that comprise faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as those things that are begotten and born from charity, that is, all things comprising faith, or what amounts to the same, all people who have been regenerated by the Lord, thus those with whom the faith inhering in charity is present. This will be discussed in the Lord's Divine mercy later on. That in the internal sense generations and also nativities have this meaning has been shown in Volume One, in 613, 1041, 1145, 1330.
