158. That man [vir] signifies the internal man, or what is the same, one who is intelligent and wise, is plain from Isaiah:
I behold, and there is no man [vir], even among them, and there is no counselor (Isaiah 41:28),
meaning none wise and intelligent. Also in Jeremiah:
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see if ye can find a man, if there be any executing judgment, seeking the truth (Jeremiah 5:1)
“One who executes judgment” means a wise person; and “one who seeks the truth” an intelligent one.
