385. Verse 14 Behold, You have driven me this day off the face ¹ of the ground; and I shall be hidden from Your face, ¹ and I shall be a wanderer and a fugitive in the land; and everyone finding me might kill me.

'Being driven off the face' of the ground' means being separated from all the truth of the Church. 'Being hidden from Your face' ¹ means being separated from all the good present in faith and flowing from love. 'Being a wanderer and a fugitive in the land' means not knowing what truth and good are. 'Everyone finding him might kill him' means that all evil and falsity would destroy him.

In most cases, "mouth" in the Bible represents thought and logic, especially the kind of active, concrete thought that is connected with speech. The reason for this is pretty obvious, but it also holds when people, for instance, remove a stone from the mouth of a well, which represents gaining access to spiritual ideas. The mouth is used for eating as well as speaking, of course. In those circumstances, it represents our first, most external perception of a new spiritual idea or desire. This also makes sense, mirroring the way tasting food in the mouth gives us an instant impression of the quality of the food.
