31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even to this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.

6364. 'Your brothers will praise you' means that this Church is superior to all the rest. This is clear from the meaning of 'being praised' as being superior; from the representation of Judah, to whom 'you' refers here, as the celestial Church, dealt with immediately above in 6363; and from the meaning of 'brothers' as the truths which that Church possesses, thus also the Churches which are governed by those truths and are represented by 'Judah's brothers'; for truths and forms of good are what constitute a Church. The truths which the celestial Church possesses are meant by 'your brothers', that is, Judah's brothers, whereas the truths that the spiritual Church possesses are meant by 'his father's sons' below in 6366.
