Amos 1:12
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
Iron
'Iron' signifies natural truth, and consequently, the natural sense of the Word. At the same time, 'iron' also signifies the natural light of mankind. These two definitions together signify the power of truth.
In Revelation 9:9, it signifies something strong.
In Deuteronomy 8:9, 'iron' signifies natural or rational truth.
