17
Και θελω στησει το προσωπον μου εναντιον σας, και θελετε φονευθη εμπροσθεν των εχθρων σας· και εκεινοι, οιτινες σας μισουσι, θελουσι σας εξουσιασει και θελετε φευγει, ουδενος διωκοντος υμας.
Λευιτικόν 26:17
Arcana Coelestia # 5535
5535. 'And Jacob their father said to them' means a perception that came to them from the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perception, often dealt with already; and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the good of truth, dealt with just above in 5533.
Isaiah 47:8-9
8
"Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9
but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
