1 Не дјлайте себј идоловъ и истукановъ, и столповъ не ставьте у себя, и камней съ изображеніями не кладите въ землј вашей, чтобы кланяться предъ ними: ибо Я Господь, Богъ вашъ.

2 Субботы Мои храните, и святилище Мое чтите, Я Господь.

3 Если вы будете поступать по уставамъ Моимъ, и заповјди Мои будете хранить и исполнять ихъ:

4 то Я дамъ вамъ дожди въ свое время, и земля дастъ произрастенія свои, и дерево полевое дастъ плодъ свой.

5 За молотьбою хлјба наступитъ у васъ обираніе винограда, за обираніемъ винограда наступитъ сјяніе, и будете јсть хлјбъ свой досыта, и будете жить на землј вашей безопасно.

6 Пошлю миръ на землю, ляжете и никто васъ не обезпокоятъ; сгоню лютыхъ звјрей съ земли, и мечъ не будетъ ходить по землј вашей.

7 Прогоняте враговъ вашихъ и падутъ отъ меча предъ вами.

8 Пятеро изъ васъ прогонятъ сто, и сто изъ васъ прогонятъ тьму, и падутъ враги ваши отъ меча предъ вами.

9 Воззрю на васъ и содјлаю васъ плодородными, и размножу васъ и буду твердъ въ завјтј Моемъ съ вами.

10 И будете јсть старое отъ стараго года, и выбросите старое, когда получите новое.

11 И поставлю жилище Мое среди васъ, и душа Моя не возгнушается вами.

12 И буду ходить среди васъ, и буду вашимъ Богомъ, а вы будете Моимъ народомъ.

13 Я Господь, Богъ вашъ, Который вывелъ васъ изъ земли Египетской, чтобъ вы не были тамъ рабами, и сокрушилъ ярмо ваше и сдјлалъ то, что вы стали ходить поднявъ голову.

14 Если же не послушаете Меня и не будете исполнять всјхъ заповјдей сихъ,

15 и если презрите Мои постановленія, и если душа ваша возгнушается Моими законами, такъ что вы не будете исполнять всјхъ заповјдей Моихъ и нарушите завјтъ Мой:

16 то и Я тоже сдјлаю съ вами, и пошлю на васъ ужасъ, чахлость и горячку, которыя повредятъ глаза и измучатъ душу, и будете сјять сјмена ваши напрасно, и враги ваши съјдятъ ихъ.

17 Обращу лице Мое на васъ, и вы будете побиты врагами вашими, и будутъ господствовать надъ вами непріятели ваши, и побјжите, когда никто не гонится за вами.

18 Если и при всемъ не послушаете Меня, то Я всемеро увеличу наказаніе за грјхи ваши;

19 и и сломлю гордое упорство ваше, и небо ваше сдјлаю, какъ желјзо, и землю вашу какъ мјдь.

20 Напрасно будетъ истощаться сила ваша, земля ваша не дастъ произрастеній своихъ, и дерево полевое не дастъ плода своего.

21 Если же послј сего пойдете противъ Меня и не захотите слушать Меня, то Я прибавлю вамъ ударовъ всемеро за грјхи ваши.

22 Пошлю на васъ звјрей полевыхъ, которые осиротятъ васъ, истребятъ скотъ вашъ и васъ уменьшатъ, такъ что опустјютъ дороги ваши.

23 Если и послј сего не исправитесь и пойдете противъ Меня:

24 то и Я пойду противъ васъ, и Я поражу васъ всемеро за грјхи ваши.

25 И наведу на васъ мстительный мечъ въ отмщеніе за завјтъ; если же вы укроетесь въ города ваши, то пошлю на васъ язву и преданы будете въ руки врага.

26 Хлјбъ, подкрјпляющій человјка, истреблю у васъ; десять женщинъ будутъ печь хлјбъ вашъ въ одной печи, и будутъ возвращать хлјбъ вашъ вјсомъ, вы будете јсть и не насытитесь,

27 Если же и послј сего не послушаете Меня и пойдете противъ Меня:

28 то и Я въ ярости пойду противъ васъ, и накажу васъ всемеро за грјхи ваши,

29 и будете јсть плоть сыновъ вашихъ, и плоть дочерей вашихъ будете јсть.

30 Разорю высоты ваши, и разобью статуи ваши, и повергну трупы ваши на трупы идоловъ вашихъ, и возгнушается душа Моя вами.

31 Города ваши сдјлаю пустынею и опустошу святилища ваши, и не буду обонять благоуханія успокоенія жертвъ вашихъ.

32 Опустошу землю, такъ что смотря на нее ужаснутся враги ваши, поселившіеся на ней.

33 А васъ разсјю между народами, и обнажу въ слјдъ васъ мечъ, и будетъ земля ваша пуста и города ваши разрушены.

34 Тогда удовлетворитъ земля за субботы свои во всј дни запустјнія; когда вы будете въ землј враговъ вашихъ, тогда будетъ покоиться земля и удовлетворитъ за субботы свои.

35 Во всј дни запустјнія будетъ покоиться, сколько не покоилась въ субботы ваши, когда вы жили на ней.

36 Оставшимся изъ васъ пошлю въ сердца робость въ землј враговъ ихъ; шумъ колебающагося листа погонитъ ихъ, и побјгутъ какъ отъ меча, и падутъ, когда никто не преслјдуетъ.

37 И поткнутся другъ на друга, какъ отъ меча, между тјмъ какъ никто не преслјдуетъ, и не будетъ вамъ мјста оть враговъ вашихъ.

38 И погибнсте у народовъ, и пожретъ васъ земля враговъ вашихъ.

39 А оставшіеся изъ васъ исчахнутъ за свои беззаконія въ земляхъ враговъ вашихъ, и за беззаконія отцевъ своихъ исчахнутъ.

40 Тогда признаются они въ беззаконіи своемъ и въ беззаконіи отцевъ своихъ, какъ они упорствовали противъ Меня и шли противъ Меня,

41 за что и Я пошелъ противъ нихъ и ввелъ ихъ въ землю враговъ ихъ; тогда покорится необрјзанное сердце ихъ, и тогда заплатятъ за беззаконіе свое.

42 И Я вспомню завјтъ Мой съ Іаковомъ, и завјтъ Мой съ Исаакомъ, и завјтъ Мой съ Авраамомъ вспомню, и землю вспомню.

43 Тогда какъ земля оставлена будетъ ими и будетъ удовлетворять за субботы свои, опустјвъ отъ нихъ, и они будутъ платить за свое беззаконіе, за то, что презирали законы Мои и душа ихъ гнушалась постановленіями Моими,

44 и тогда какъ они будутъ въ землј враговъ ихъ: Я не презрю ихъ и не возгнушаюсь ими до того, чтобъ истребить ихъ вовсе, чтобъ разрушить завјтъ Мой съ ними; ибо Я Господь, Богъ ихъ.

45 Вспомню для нихъ завјтъ съ предками, которыхъ вывелъ Я изъ земли Египетской предъ очами народовъ, чтобы быть ихъ Богомъ. Я Господъ.

46 Вотъ постановленія и опредјленія и законы, которые поставилъ Господь между Собою и между сынами Израилевыми на горј Синај, посредствомъ Моисея.

800. And them that dwell in heaven, signifies spiritual goods and truths, from which is the heavenly marriage. This is evident from the signification of "blaspheming them that dwell in heaven," as being to falsify spiritual goods and truths. By "them that dwell in heaven" the angels are meant; and as the angels are angels from the reception of the Divine good and the Divine truth, and as the spiritual sense is abstracted from persons, "angels" here signify the goods and truths from which they are angels; and these are also signified by "angels" elsewhere in the Word (See above, n. 301, 302). "Angels" signify spiritual goods and truths because all who are in heaven are spiritual, and think and speak spiritually. But it is otherwise with men on earth, who being natural, think and speak naturally, and therefore goods and truths with them are natural. And as good and truth mutually love each other, and for that reason they must needs be conjoined, it is also said, from which is the heavenly marriage. This, too, is signified by "them that dwell in heaven," since all in heaven are in that marriage, and this is why heaven is likened in the Word to a marriage; and there is a like marriage in every least particular of the Word, as may be seen above (n. 238, 288, 484, 724); also an angel cannot be an angel of heaven unless he is in that marriage, or unless that marriage is with him; and the like is true of the man of the church (See n. 660). From this again it is evident that a man who separates faith from good works is not a man of the church. From this it can now be seen that "to blaspheme them that dwell in heaven" signifies to falsify spiritual goods and truths from which is the heavenly marriage.

[2] In the two preceding articles those who separate faith from the goods of life and thereby so falsify the Word as to close heaven to themselves, also those who join the goods of life to faith and thereby do not so falsify the Word as to close heaven to themselves, have been treated of. It now follows in order that something be said about those who, although they are in the churches where faith alone is acknowledged, still do not falsify the Word.

1. These are such as do not separate faith from the life but conjoin them by the belief that faith and life make one, like affection and thought, like will and understanding, like heat and light in the time of spring and summer, from the conjunction of which comes all germination, and like truth and good, when truth is put in place of faith, and good in place of life. On the conjunction of all these see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem. Such affirm within themselves that no one who lives wickedly can have faith, but only he who lives well, and that one who lives wickedly cannot receive faith unless he performs repentance of life by seeking out his evils and desisting from them; likewise that one who lives wickedly cannot, in his spirit or in himself, have any other faith than a belief in falsity, however he may profess with the mouth a belief in truth. Therefore the life of those who so conjoin life and faith in profession and in works is charity, and their faith is the thought that a thing is so in truth. The faith of such is spiritual so far as they know truths from the Word, and live according to them, for faith becomes spiritual from the life, and so far as man thence becomes spiritual heaven is opened to him.

[3] 2. Neither do those falsify the Word who do not know, and do not wish to know, that faith is anything else than believing those things that are in the Word and doing them, for they see that faith is to believe and to do, and that to believe and not to do is a faith of the mouth and not of the heart, thus is outside of man and not within him. These, when they act, believe that faith is believing that there is a God, a heaven and a hell, and a life after death; and that to love God and to love the neighbor is to do the commandments in the Word; and such, so far as they desist from evils and shun and turn away from them because they are sins, so far do the commandments from God, and not from themselves. These also believe that the Lord came into the world to save those who believe in Him and who do what He taught.

[4] 3. Because such do not know, and do not wish to know, that faith is anything else than this, they do not acknowledge that justification and salvation are effected by merely believing that God the Father sent his Son, that by His blood He might effect propitiation, redemption, and salvation; for they perceive that merely to believe this and not to live any life of faith, which is charity, rather condemns than justifies; it rather condemns for the reason that it is not a belief in truth, but a belief in falsity; for it is a belief in immediate mercy, which is reformation and regeneration without means; which is imputation, propitiation, and intercession, not one of which is possible. Moreover, it is not true that a Son born from eternity was sent by the Father into the world, nor is it true that the Father was propitiated by the blood of the Son, nor is it true that the Lord transferred sins to Himself and thus effected redemption; and so with other things. So far as these are appearances of truth from the sense of the letter of the Word they may be asserted and also thought, but must not be so confirmed as to destroy the genuine truth that is in heaven, and that the doctrine of the church can teach from the Word. Those therefore who place all things of faith in that confession not only reject to the side all truths, which are innumerable, from which angels and men have life and wisdom, and make the universal theology to consist in certain expressions, uttered with confidence, in which there are no truths; but to confirm these expressions they must needs falsify the Word and thereby close heaven to themselves. But more on this subject elsewhere. So much concerning those who falsify the Word and those who do not falsify it.
