25 Così ha detto il Signor degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Voi, e le vostre mogli, avete pronunziato con la bocca ciò che anche avete messo ad effetto con le vostre mani, dicendo: Noi adempieremo pure i nostri voti che abbiam fatti, per far profumi alla regina del cielo, e per farle offerte da spandere. Voi avete adunque adempiuti, e messi ad effetto i vostri voti.


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.

Commentary

 

Nations

  

'Nations,' as in Jeremiah 25:31, signify falsities. In Genesis 25:23, 'two nations in the womb' signify the natural regarding interior and exterior good. In general, 'nations' signify people in the good of love and charity from the Lord.
