The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #122
122. Internal Meaning of Lamentations, Chapter 4
1-3 Holy truths and goods turned into falsities, (3, 4)
4 so that there is a lack of all of them. (3)
5-8 Their spiritual things have become infernal. (3)
9-10 Affections of truth have become cupidities of falsity. (3)
11 They were against the Lord. (3, 4)
12-14 They falsified the truths of the Word. (3)
16-17 The Word was rejected owing to their own intelligence. (3, 11)
18-19 Nothing of the church was left, and therefore came their destruction. (3)
Lamentations 4:12-14
12
The kings of the earth didn't believe, neither all the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
13
[It is] because of the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
14
They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men can't touch their garments.
