8800. 'Or will be killed by being shot with arrows' means that spiritual good too will be destroyed. This is clear from the meaning of 'being killed with arrows' as being destroyed in respect of spiritual good; for the spiritual man is meant by 'an archer', 2686, 2709, 6422.

6421. 'And shoot at him' means that they use those falsities to fight with. This is clear from the meaning of 'shooting at' as using falsities to fight with; for 'a bow' means doctrine, and 'arrows' or 'darts' points of doctrine, thus truths belonging to doctrine among those led by truths, and falsities belonging to doctrine among those led by falsities, see 2686, 2709. The reason 'shooting at' here means using falsities to fight with is that people led by falsities are the subject here.
