Genesi 6:5
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
Arcana Coelestia #625
625. Verse 12. And God saw the earth, and behold it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth. “God saw the earth” signifies that God knew man; “it was corrupt” signifies that there was nothing but falsity; “for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth” signifies that the corporeal nature of man had destroyed all the understanding of truth.
