70. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 4 (11)

1-2 Exhortation to refrain from evils and to acknowledge the Lord, from whom those who are in goods and truths will have salvation. (2)

3 Unless they refrain and turn back, they will utterly perish. (2)

5-6 Those who will acknowledge must be removed while the destruction lasts, (2, 2)

7 because devastation of all things of the church is at hand, (3)

8 which does not come to an end through outward mourning, (3)

9-10 nor through complaints that they are perishing, although it is said in the Word that they shall be saved. (3, 2)

11-12 It is answered that they are not willing to acknowledge and receive. (3, 17)

13 Falsities are breaking in. (3)

14-15 Corruption of the church. (3)

16 in respect to doctrine, (3, 3)

17 in respect to the Word. (3)

18-21 Lamentation thereat. (3)

22 There is no longer any understanding of truth. (3)

22-27 All things of the church have been destroyed, even until nothing remains, (3, 11)

28-29 and the church has become none. (3)

30 The things of the church could not have been restored among them in any way. (3)

31 Despair of those of whom the new church will consist. (11)
