4 Chúng nó nói những lời hư không và thề dối khi lập giao ước; cho nên sự đoán phạt sẽ nứt mầm, nhạy như có độc mọc lên trong luống cày nơi ruộng.

1187. 'He built Nineveh, and Rehoboth city, and Calah' means that in this way they formulated for themselves doctrinal teachings concerning faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'Nineveh and Rehoboth and Calah', to be dealt with in the paragraphs following immediately after this, and from the meaning of 'a city' in the Word, as doctrine, true or heretical, as shown already in 402.
