5016. 'And I cried out with a loud voice' means that it was filled with aversion. This is clear from the meaning of 'a cry' as speaking falsely, dealt with in 5011, and therefore 'crying out' here implies the same. That is to say, false speaking is implied in her crying out to the men of the house for help, meaning that the unspiritual natural truth felt repelled by the spiritual; it is also implied by her assertion that she cried out with a loud voice, meaning that it was filled with aversion to the spiritual.

3101. 'So as to know whether Jehovah had prospered his way or not' means regarding Divine Truth, as to what sort it was. This is clear from the meaning of 'way' as truth, dealt with in 627, 2333. The Divine nature of that truth is meant by the words 'whether Jehovah had prospered' which amounts to the same as, whether it was from Jehovah, that is, from the Divine. Accordingly what sort of truth is meant, for the truths that are summoned from the natural man into the rational man are not all received, only those that accord with the good there, and on being sown and implanted in this way act as one with that good. The rest, even though they may have appeared as truths prior to being raised up, are nevertheless not received because they are not acknowledged. Good is that which acknowledges its own truth, and truth that which acknowledges its own good. That it was an acknowledgement of what sort of truth it was, and that thus this truth was received, is also evident from what follows next.
