24
By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
2641. That 'everyone who hears will laugh for me' means that all things there will possess this affection is clear from the meaning of 'hearing' and of 'laughing'. In the Word 'hearing' has reference to things that are matters of affection, but 'laughing' to those that are matters of thought. This becomes clear from very many places in the Word as well as from correspondences, see 2542. Because the subject at present is the affection for celestial truth, the phrase 'everyone who hears' is used, by which all things that are matters of affection are meant. For 'laughing' means being stirred by an affection for truth or possessing an affection for truth, see 2072, 2216, 2640.
