13 And lo, I have smitten My hand, Because of thy dishonest gain that thou hast gained, And for thy blood that hath been in thy midst.

Commentary

 

Nations

  

'Nations,' as in Jeremiah 25:31, signify falsities. In Genesis 25:23, 'two nations in the womb' signify the natural regarding interior and exterior good. In general, 'nations' signify people in the good of love and charity from the Lord.
