32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, who taketh strangers instead of her husband!

Poor

  

'Poor' signifies someone who is not in truths, and people who are ignorant of good and truth, but desire instruction.

Women

  

'Women,' as in Genesis 45:19, signify the affections of truth. But in Genesis 31:50, 'women' signify affections of not genuine truth, so not of the church.
