Arcana Coelestia # 2387
2387. And the men said unto Lot. That this signifies that the Lord admonishes those who are in the good of charity, is evident from the signification of the “men,” as being the Lord (see n. 2378); from the signification of “saying,” as being to admonish; and from the representation of Lot, as being those who are in the good of charity (see n. 2324, 2351, 2371). Hence these words, “the men said unto Lot,” signifies that the Lord admonishes those who are in the good of charity.
Luke 12:58-59
58
For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
