85. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 19

1 The church has been instituted; (3)

2 but they have destroyed its truths by dire falsities, and therefore the church has perished. (3, 2)

4-5 They have forsaken the Lord, and have loved evils that gush forth from the love of self. (3)

6 Therefore the church is no longer there, but hell. (3)

7-8 There they will be among profaners, (3)

9 where there is deadly hatred for one another. (3)

9-11 It is represented that the church there has been destroyed, so that it cannot be restored. (3)

12-13 Hell is actually there, because there is nothing but the lust of the love of self. (3)

14-15 This was foretold to them through the Word. (3)
