Ezekiel 31:12

Study

       

12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off and have left him; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken in all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

Commentarius

 

Uncircumcised

  

In Genesis 17:14; 34:14, this signifies one who is in self-love, which is the vilest of all loves because destructive of society. (Arcana Coelestia 2957)

'The uncircumcised,' as in Ezekiel 31:18, signifies people lacking the good of charity.

(Notae: Apocalypse Revealed 90)

18 To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
