27 Perciò, figliuol d’uomo, parla alla casa d’Israele e di’ loro: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: I vostri padri m’hanno ancora oltraggiato in questo, conducendosi perfidamente verso di me:

139. It must be understood that the Divine good and the Divine truth that are from the Lord as a sun in the heavens are not in the Lord, but are from the Lord. In the Lord there is only Divine love, which is the Being [Esse] from which the Divine good and the Divine truth spring. Outgo [existere] from being [esse] is meant by going forth [procedere]. This, too, can be made clear by comparison with the world's sun. The heat and light that are in the world are not in the sun, but are from the sun. In the sun there is fire only, and it is from this that heat and light spring and go forth.
