17 J'enverrai contre vous la famine et les bêtes féroces, qui te priveront d'enfants; la peste et le sang passeront au milieu de toi; je ferai venir l'épée sur toi. C'est moi, l'Eternel, qui parle.

Commentary

 

Wilderness

  

'Wilderness' signifies something with little life in it, as described in the internal sense in Luke 1:80 'Wilderness' signifies somewhere there is no good because there is no truth. 'Wilderness,' as in Jeremiah 23:10, signifies the Word when it is adulterated.
