Egli ha chiuse le mie vie di pietre conce a scarpello, Ha rinvolti i miei sentieri.
Lamenti 3:9
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.
Skin
'Skins' or 'hides' signify external things, because the hide is the outermost organ of an animal where its interiors extend, the same as with a person's dermis or skin. 'Skin' corresponds to truth or to falsity in the extremes. See Arcana Coelestia 1835, 10036, and Apocalypse Explained 386. 'Skin,' as in Job 19:26, means the natural degree a person has with him after death.
In Exodus 22:27, this signifies things that are relatively external. (Arcana Coelestia 9215)
In Exodus 34:29, this signifies the internal of the Word shining from the external. (Arcana Coelestia 10691)
In Job 19:20, this signifies being not entirely in falsities. (Apocalypse Explained 556[11])
In Jeremiah 13:23, this signifies that evil cannot change its nature. (Apocalypse Explained 780[5])
In Genesis 3:21, this signifies that the Lord instructed them in spiritual and natural good. (Arcana Coelestia 292)
In Genesis 27:16, this signifies the external truths of domestic good. (Arcana Coelestia 3540)
