1 λόγοι αμως οἳ ἐγένοντο ἐν νακκαριμ ἐκ θεκουε οὓς εἶδεν ὑπὲρ ιερουσαλημ ἐν ἡμέραις οζιου βασιλέως ιουδα καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις ιεροβοαμ τοῦ ιωας βασιλέως ισραηλ πρὸ δύο ἐτῶν τοῦ σεισμοῦ

2 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ἐκ σιων ἐφθέγξατο καὶ ἐξ ιερουσαλημ ἔδωκεν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπένθησαν αἱ νομαὶ τῶν ποιμένων καὶ ἐξηράνθη ἡ κορυφὴ τοῦ καρμήλου

3 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ἐπὶ ταῖς τρισὶν ἀσεβείαις δαμασκοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι αὐτόν ἀνθ' ὧν ἔπριζον πρίοσιν σιδηροῖς τὰς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας τῶν ἐν γαλααδ

4 καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ πῦρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αζαηλ καὶ καταφάγεται θεμέλια υἱοῦ αδερ

5 καὶ συντρίψω μοχλοὺς δαμασκοῦ καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω κατοικοῦντας ἐκ πεδίου ων καὶ κατακόψω φυλὴν ἐξ ἀνδρῶν χαρραν καὶ αἰχμαλωτευθήσεται λαὸς συρίας ἐπίκλητος λέγει κύριος

6 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ ταῖς τρισὶν ἀσεβείαις γάζης καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι αὐτούς ἕνεκεν τοῦ αἰχμαλωτεῦσαι αὐτοὺς αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ σαλωμων τοῦ συγκλεῖσαι εἰς τὴν ιδουμαίαν

7 καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ πῦρ ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη γάζης καὶ καταφάγεται θεμέλια αὐτῆς

8 καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω κατοικοῦντας ἐξ ἀζώτου καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται φυλὴ ἐξ ἀσκαλῶνος καὶ ἐπάξω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ ακκαρων καὶ ἀπολοῦνται οἱ κατάλοιποι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων λέγει κύριος

9 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ ταῖς τρισὶν ἀσεβείαις τύρου καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι αὐτήν ἀνθ' ὧν συνέκλεισαν αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ σαλωμων εἰς τὴν ιδουμαίαν καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν διαθήκης ἀδελφῶν

10 καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ πῦρ ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη τύρου καὶ καταφάγεται θεμέλια αὐτῆς

11 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ ταῖς τρισὶν ἀσεβείαις τῆς ιδουμαίας καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι αὐτούς ἕνεκα τοῦ διῶξαι αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλυμήνατο μήτραν ἐπὶ γῆς καὶ ἥρπασεν εἰς μαρτύριον φρίκην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ὅρμημα αὐτοῦ ἐφύλαξεν εἰς νεῖκος

12 καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ πῦρ εἰς θαιμαν καὶ καταφάγεται θεμέλια τειχέων αὐτῆς

13 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ ταῖς τρισὶν ἀσεβείαις υἱῶν αμμων καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν οὐκ ἀποστραφήσομαι αὐτόν ἀνθ' ὧν ἀνέσχιζον τὰς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας τῶν γαλααδιτῶν ὅπως ἐμπλατύνωσιν τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν

14 καὶ ἀνάψω πῦρ ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη ραββα καὶ καταφάγεται θεμέλια αὐτῆς μετὰ κραυγῆς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου καὶ σεισθήσεται ἐν ἡμέρᾳ συντελείας αὐτῆς

15 καὶ πορεύσονται οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῆς ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό λέγει κύριος

201. Internal Meaning of Amos, Chapter 1 (1)

1-2 [The teaching of] the Lord about the Word and doctrine from the Word: (1, 6)

3-5 About those who pervert knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word which are of service to doctrine and who thus turn away also the good of those knowledges: these will perish. (3, 15)

6-8 About those who apply the Word to a heretical falsity: these will perish. (3)

9-10 About those who pervert knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth, and thereby do injury to the external sense of the Word. (3)

11-12 About those who pervert the sense of the letter of the Word by falsity, by which doctrine perishes. (3)

13-15 About those who falsify the truths of the sense of the letter of the Word: they do not resist in the day of combat, but destroy the truth of doctrine. (3, 15)

Editor's Introduction: In this work, Emanuel Swedenborg outlined the internal meaning of all the Prophetical Books, from Isaiah to Malachi, and the Psalms, and then the first 16 chapters of Genesis. It provides a survey of the inner meaning of a substantial portion of the Old Testament, in one place.

This work was written by Swedenborg in Latin, in 1761. It was translated from Latin into English by Rev. J. E. Schreck, and this translation was published by the Swedenborg Foundation, in New York, in 1900. This modified version of Schreck's 1900 translation does not update the text; instead just modifying numbering and formatting for clarity of use online.

Each chapter of each book of the Prophets has one corresponding numbered section in Swedenborg's explanation of its inner meaning, or internal sense. Swedenborg listed the verses that relate to each outlined point. We have added hyperlinks to the verse references, shown to the left of each outlined point. The Psalms and initial chapters of Genesis are treated in a similar fashion.

This work was not published by Swedenborg, but it is consistent with other more detailed treatments made in his published works. For example, Swedenborg refers to this work in Doctrine of the Lord 37.

Readers may also find these comparisons useful:

- No. 124 of this work, explaining Ezekiel 1, with The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture 97,

- Nos. 161, 162, explaining Ezekiel 38, and 39, with Apocalypse Revealed 859,

- No. 236, explaining Zechariah 4, with Apocalypse Revealed 43, and

- Nos. 244-246 of this work, explaining Zechariah 12, 13, 14, with Apocalypse Revealed 707.

In the manuscript, at the beginning, Swedenborg wrote out a list of works that he intended to write and publish. While it's clearly related to the project of outlining the internal meaning of the Prophets, Psalms, and historical parts of the Word, it seems to be an independent list. We reproduce Rev. Schreck's translation of that list here:

"To Be Published:

1. Concerning the Lord.

2. Concerning the Sacred Scripture or concerning the Word of the Lord.

3. All things of religion and of the worship of God in one complex in the Decalogue.

4. Concerning Faith.

5. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine Providence.

6. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine omnipotence and omniscience, and concerning infinity and eternity.

7. Angelic wisdom concerning life.

8. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine love and Divine wisdom."

Note a piè di pagina:

1. In the original Latin manuscript, Swedenborg cross-referred the outlined internal sense to a more general Table of Subjects, shown above. In the following passages, those references are shown in parentheses, e.g. (3) would refer to subject number 3 above. We received the Latin text for this "front matter" from the Heavenly Doctrines Publishing Foundation.

2. Editor's Note (Schreck): No. 14 is crossed out by Swedenborg in his MS., and is never referred to in the text. It reads, "The state of unition with His Divine," which is the same as No. 10.

Doctrine of the Lord 3 for an outline of a similar set of themes that form the internal sense of the prophetical books.
