27
οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὡς λύκοι ἁρπάζοντες ἁρπάγματα τοῦ ἐκχέαι αἷμα ὅπως πλεονεξίᾳ πλεονεκτῶσιν
Ezekiel 22:27
Arcana Coelestia #8299
8299. 'In the mighty waters' means surrounded by a vast quantity of falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'waters' as falsities arising from evil, dealt with just above in 8297, so that 'the mighty waters' are falsities in a vast quantity. The fact that they were surrounded or hemmed in by them, see 8210, 8232.
