ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ' ων εξεχεας τον χαλκον σου και αποκαλυφθησεται η αισχυνη σου εν τη πορνεια σου προς τους εραστας σου και εις παντα τα ενθυμηματα των ανομιων σου και εν τοις αιμασιν των τεκνων σου ων εδωκας αυτοις
Ezekiel 16:36
Jeremiah 1
1
το ρημα του θεου ο εγενετο επι ιερεμιαν τον του χελκιου εκ των ιερεων ος κατωκει εν αναθωθ εν γη βενιαμιν
2
ος εγενηθη λογος του θεου προς αυτον εν ταις ημεραις ιωσια υιου αμως βασιλεως ιουδα ετους τρισκαιδεκατου εν τη βασιλεια αυτου
3
και εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις ιωακιμ υιου ιωσια βασιλεως ιουδα εως ενδεκατου ετους σεδεκια υιου ιωσια βασιλεως ιουδα εως της αιχμαλωσιας ιερουσαλημ εν τω πεμπτω μηνι
4
και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
5
προ του με πλασαι σε εν κοιλια επισταμαι σε και προ του σε εξελθειν εκ μητρας ηγιακα σε προφητην εις εθνη τεθεικα σε
6
και ειπα ω δεσποτα κυριε ιδου ουκ επισταμαι λαλειν οτι νεωτερος εγω ειμι
7
και ειπεν κυριος προς με μη λεγε οτι νεωτερος εγω ειμι οτι προς παντας ους εαν εξαποστειλω σε πορευση και κατα παντα οσα εαν εντειλωμαι σοι λαλησεις
8
μη φοβηθης απο προσωπου αυτων οτι μετα σου εγω ειμι του εξαιρεισθαι σε λεγει κυριος
9
και εξετεινεν κυριος την χειρα αυτου προς με και ηψατο του στοματος μου και ειπεν κυριος προς με ιδου δεδωκα τους λογους μου εις το στομα σου
10
ιδου κατεστακα σε σημερον επι εθνη και βασιλειας εκριζουν και κατασκαπτειν και απολλυειν και ανοικοδομειν και καταφυτευειν
11
και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων τι συ ορας ιερεμια και ειπα βακτηριαν καρυινην
12
και ειπεν κυριος προς με καλως εωρακας διοτι εγρηγορα εγω επι τους λογους μου του ποιησαι αυτους
13
και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με εκ δευτερου λεγων τι συ ορας και ειπα λεβητα υποκαιομενον και το προσωπον αυτου απο προσωπου βορρα
14
και ειπεν κυριος προς με απο προσωπου βορρα εκκαυθησεται τα κακα επι παντας τους κατοικουντας την γην
15
διοτι ιδου εγω συγκαλω πασας τας βασιλειας απο βορρα της γης λεγει κυριος και ηξουσιν και θησουσιν εκαστος τον θρονον αυτου επι τα προθυρα των πυλων ιερουσαλημ και επι παντα τα τειχη τα κυκλω αυτης και επι πασας τας πολεις ιουδα
16
και λαλησω προς αυτους μετα κρισεως περι πασης της κακιας αυτων ως εγκατελιπον με και εθυσαν θεοις αλλοτριοις και προσεκυνησαν τοις εργοις των χειρων αυτων
17
και συ περιζωσαι την οσφυν σου και αναστηθι και ειπον προς αυτους παντα οσα αν εντειλωμαι σοι μη φοβηθης απο προσωπου αυτων μηδε πτοηθης εναντιον αυτων οτι μετα σου εγω ειμι του εξαιρεισθαι σε λεγει κυριος
18
ιδου τεθεικα σε εν τη σημερον ημερα ως πολιν οχυραν και ως τειχος χαλκουν οχυρον απασιν τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα και τοις αρχουσιν αυτου και τω λαω της γης
19
και πολεμησουσιν σε και ου μη δυνωνται προς σε διοτι μετα σου εγω ειμι του εξαιρεισθαι σε ειπεν κυριος
Arcana Coelestia #9827
9827. 'And a turban' means intelligence and wisdom. This is clear from the meaning of 'a turban' as intelligence and wisdom. 'A turban' has this meaning because it is a covering for the head, and 'the head' means a person's inward powers, which are those of intelligence and wisdom, 9656. All items of clothing derive their meaning from that part of the body which they cover, as for example with an item of clothing that covers the breast, such as a breastplate; those that cover the loins, such as trousers; those that cover the feet, such as stockings; those that cover the soles of the feet, such as sandals; and so also one that covers the head, such as a turban, headdress, or cap.
[2] The truth of all this is clear from representatives in the next life. There, when wisdom and intelligence are taken away from spirits, which happens when angelic communities are removed from them, the covering on their head is seen to be taken away from them. Once this has been done a spirit becomes stupid, devoid of any perception of what is true and good. But afterwards, as intelligence and wisdom return, his head is covered again. But items of clothing on the head there mean not so much wisdom belonging to good as intelligence belonging to truth. The turban that belonged to Aaron however means wisdom as well, since it was made from fine linen, and a holy crown was placed on it, which was a plate made from pure gold, on which Holiness to Jehovah was engraved, described further on in verses 37, 39, of the present chapter, and also Exodus 29:6; 39:28. But the turban of [ordinary] linen, and the rest of the garments of [such] linen which were also Aaron's, meant intelligence belonging to truth, but not wisdom belonging to good. Regarding those garments and that turban, see Leviticus 16:4; Ezekiel 44:18. For 'linen' or 'flax' means truth in the natural level of a person's mind, 7601, so that 'a turban of [ordinary] linen' means intelligence there.
[3] People who have no knowledge of the nature of representatives and correspondences can scarcely be brought to believe that such things are meant. But let them weigh up this, that in heaven spiritual realities are envisaged instead of natural things, so that instead of a turban, and in general instead of garments, such things are envisaged as belong to intelligence and wisdom, also to faith and love, in general such as belong to truth and goodness. For all these are spiritual, since heaven is a spiritual world. Let them also weigh up this, that it was Jehovah on Mount Sinai who described and decreed what Aaron's garments should be, which being so, every detail of the description holds within itself the Divine Celestial, which is disclosed solely by means of knowledge about correspondences and representatives.
