In Genesis 49:20, this signifies turning away from confirmed truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6359)
In Exodus 15:7, this signifies the fury of lusts and their endeavor to inflict violence. (Arcana Coelestia 8284)
In Zephaniah 1:15, this signifies the advent of the Lord to judgment. (Divine Love and Wisdom 5)
In Revelation 14:10, this signifies truth from which comes good. (Apocalypse Revealed 635)

Romans 8:35-39
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36
Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
37
No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
