21
Ma i figliuoli ancora si ribellarono contro a me; non camminarono ne’ miei statuti, e non osservarono le mie leggi, per metterle ad effetto, per le quali l’uomo che le metterà ad effetto viverà; profanarono i miei sabati; laonde io dissi di volere spander sopra loro la mia ira, e di adempiere il mio cruccio sopra loro nel deserto.
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.
184. And the seven stars, signifies from whom are all the knowledges of truth and good. This is evident from the signification of "seven," as being what is full and all things (See above, n. 20, 24), also from the signification of "stars" as being the knowledges of truth and good (See also above, n. 72). It is said to the angel of this church, "These things saith He that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars," because those within the church who are living a moral but not a spiritual life, because they have little regard for the knowledges of spiritual things and thence for intelligence and wisdom, are here treated of; for "the seven spirits of God" signify all the truths of heaven and of the church, and "the seven stars" the knowledges of truth and good; and through these two come all intelligence and wisdom. To the angel of each church is premised something respecting the Lord, which indicates what is treated of (See above, n. 113).
