For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me by him, I Jehovah will answer him by myself;
'Sons of the stranger' signify counterfeit truths, or falsities. 'Our sons' signify the doctrines of truth, and 'our daughters,' the doctrines of good, as in Psalm 144:11-12.
(Notae: Arcana Coelestia 489; Psalms 144:11)
In Isaiah 32:6, folly has respect to the false, iniquity signifies evil, hypocrisy, the evils spoken against goods, and error, the falsities which are spoken against truths. See also Isaiah 9:17.
(Notae: Apocalypse Explained 386)
