3529. 'And I shall be in his eyes as one who misleads' means rejection because of being, as it seems, contrary to order. This is clear from the meaning of 'being in his eyes' as a discernment of what it is really like, for 'the eye' means the discernment belonging to internal sight, 212, 2701, 2789, 2829, 3198, 3202, and from the meaning of 'one who misleads' or a misleader, as contrary to order, in this case seemingly contrary - all misleading being nothing else. And this would lead to rejection. But what is meant by being, as it seems, contrary to order will be evident below.
