1 Kaj aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

2 CXu vi, ho filo de homo, volas jugxi la urbon de sango kaj montri al gxi cxiujn gxiajn abomenindajxojn?

3 Diru, ke tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Ho urbo, kiu elversxas sangon en sia mezo, por ke venu gxia tempo, kaj kiu faras al si idolojn, por malpurigxi!

4 Per la sango, kiun vi elversxis, vi kulpigxis, kaj per viaj idoloj, kiujn vi faris, vi malpurigxis; vi alproksimigis vian tempon kaj alvenigis vian jaron. Pro tio Mi faros vin hontindajxo inter la nacioj kaj mokatajxo por cxiuj landoj.

5 Tiuj, kiuj estas proksimaj, kaj tiuj, kiuj estas malproksimaj de vi, mokos vin, kiu havos malpuran nomon kaj grandan maltrankvilecon.

6 Jen la estroj de Izrael, cxiu el ili laux sia potenco, estis cxe vi, por versxi sangon.

7 Patron kaj patrinon oni malsxatis cxe vi, fremdulon oni premis inter vi, al orfo kaj vidvino oni faris maljustajxon cxe vi.

8 Miajn sanktajxojn vi malestimis, kaj Miajn sabatojn vi malsanktigis.

9 Kalumniantoj estis cxe vi, por versxi sangon; sur la montoj oni mangxis cxe vi, malcxastajxojn oni faris meze de vi.

10 Nudajxon de patro oni malkovris cxe vi, perfortis virinon dum sxia monatajxo.

11 Oni faris abomenindajxon kun la edzino de sia proksimulo, oni malpurigis sian bofilinon per malcxastajxo, oni perfortis cxe vi sian fratinon, filinon de sia patro.

12 Subacxeton oni prenis cxe vi, por versxi sangon, procentegon kaj troprofiton vi prenis, pro avideco vi premis viajn proksimulojn, kaj Min vi forgesis, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

13 Kaj jen Mi interfrapis Miajn manojn pro via profitemeco, kiun vi montris, kaj pro la versxado de sango, kiu estis meze de vi.

14 CXu via koro rezistos, kaj cxu viaj manoj konservos sian forton, en la tempo, kiam Mi komencos Mian faradon kontraux vi? Mi, la Eternulo, tion diris, kaj Mi faros.

15 Kaj Mi disjxetos vin inter la naciojn, kaj Mi dispelos vin en diversajn landojn, kaj Mi tute deprenos de vi vian malpurecon.

16 Kaj vi humiligos vin antaux la okuloj de la nacioj; kaj vi ekscios, ke Mi estas la Eternulo.

17 Kaj aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

18 Ho filo de homo! la domo de Izrael farigxis por Mi kiel skorio:ili cxiuj, kupro, stano, fero, kaj plumbo, interne de la forno farigxis skorio de argxento.

19 Tial tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:CXar vi cxiuj farigxis skorio, tial jen Mi kolektos vin en Jerusalemon.

20 Kiel oni kolektas argxenton, kupron, feron, plumbon, kaj stanon en forno, por blovi sur ilin fajron kaj fandi ilin, tiel Mi kolektos en Mia kolero kaj en Mia indigno, kusxigos, kaj fandos vin.

21 Mi kunigos vin kaj blovos sur vin la fajron de Mia kolero, kaj vi fandigxos en gxi.

22 Kiel fandigxas argxento en la forno, tiel vi fandigxos en gxi; kaj vi ekscios, ke Mi, la Eternulo, elversxis sur vin Mian koleron.

23 Kaj aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

24 Ho filo de homo, diru al gxi:Vi estas lando ne purigata, ne pripluvata en la tago de kolero.

25 La amasigxintaj profetoj en gxi estas kiel blekeganta leono, kiu dissxiras kaptitajxon; ili mangxas animojn, forprenas valorajxojn kaj multekostajxojn, multigas en gxi la nombron de gxiaj vidvinoj.

26 GXiaj pastroj kripligas Mian instruon kaj malsanktigas Miajn sanktajxojn; ili ne distingas inter sanktajxo kaj nesanktajxo, ne montras la diferencon inter malpurajxo kaj purajxo; kaj de Miaj sabatoj ili forturnis siajn okulojn, kaj Mi estas malsanktigata inter ili.

27 GXiaj potenculoj en gxi estas kiel lupoj, kiuj dissxiras kaptitajxon, versxas sangon, pereigas animojn, por akiri profiton.

28 GXiaj profetoj sxmiras ilin per maltauxga mortero, predikas malverajn viziojn, faras al ili mensogajn antauxdirojn, dirante, ke tiele diris la Sinjoro, la Eternulo, kvankam la Eternulo ne parolis.

29 La popolo de la lando faras perfortajxojn, sencxese rabas, premas malricxulon kaj senhavulon, perfortas la fremdulon sen ia justeco.

30 Mi sercxis inter ili homon, kiu arangxus barilon kaj starigxus antaux Mi cxe la brecxo, por defendi la landon, ke Mi ne pereigu gxin; sed Mi ne trovis.

31 Kaj Mi elversxos sur ilin Mian koleron, Mi ekstermos ilin per la fajro de Mia indigno; ilian konduton Mi metos sur ilian kapon, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

9961. 'From the loins even to the thighs they shall be' means the range of those things, that is to say, of those composing that more external level of conjugial love, meant by 'the linen undergarments'. This is clear from the meaning of 'the loins' and 'the thighs' as those things which constitute conjugial love, 'the loins' those that belong to the more internal levels of conjugial love, 'the thighs' those that belong to the more external levels, so that the range of that love from internal to external levels is meant. The reason why the more internal levels of that love are meant by 'the loins' is that these are above; and the reason why the more external levels are meant by 'the thighs' is that these are below. For parts of a person that are above mean things which are more internal, and parts that are below mean those which are more external; this is why in the Word more internal things are meant by higher ones, and more external by lower ones, see 3084, 4599, 5146, 8325. The higher parts of a person correspond to celestial and spiritual things, which are the more internal ones, and the lower parts correspond to natural things, which are the more external. This is why natural things are meant by 'the feet', 2162, 3147, 3986, 4382, 4938-4952. And since the lower part of the loins which leads down towards the feet is understood by 'the thighs' the more external or lower levels of conjugial love are meant by them, see 4277, 4280.

[2] The loins in general however mean conjugial love, 3021, 3294, 4575, 5050-5062; they have this meaning by virtue of their correspondence. Regarding the correspondence with heaven of everything present with a human being, see what has been shown abundantly in the places referred to in 9276(end), 9280. The words 'range of conjugial love from internal to external levels' are used because all aspects of love and all matters of faith, or what amounts to the same thing, all those of good and all those of truth, have a wide range in the heavens; for all who are there are joined together in accord with the degree of similarity between the truths of their faith and the forms of good of their love. A range such as this exists in each separate heaven. But the range in each heaven also extends into heavens that are below, because all the heavens make one. Indeed they extend right down to mankind, in order that mankind also may make one with the heavens. This range is what is meant by the range from higher or more internal levels to lower or more external ones. The higher or more internal levels are called celestial and spiritual, and the lower or more external ones are called natural or worldly.

[3] As regards conjugial love specifically, whose range is the subject here, this love is fundamental to all other kinds of love; it descends from the marriage of good and truth in the heavens. And since the marriage of good and truth exists in and makes the heavens, truly conjugial love constitutes heaven itself with a person. But the marriage of good and truth in the heavens descends from the joining of the Lord to the heavens; for what emanates from the Lord and flows into the heavens is the good of love, and what is received there by the angels is the truth springing from it, thus truth which originates in good or in which there is good. This is why in the Word the Lord is called bridegroom and husband, and heaven together with the Church is called bride and wife.

[4] All this makes clear how holy marriages are in heaven, and how profane adulterous relationships are there. For in themselves marriages are so holy that there is nothing holier, and are so for the added reason that they are the seed-bed of the human race, and the human race is the seed-bed of heaven, since all people who have led an angelic life in the world go there. On the other hand adulterous relationships are so profane that nothing is more profane, because they are destructive of heaven and the Church with a person. For the truth of all this, see what has been stated and shown in 2727-2759 regarding marriages and regarding adulterous situations.

[5] All this once again makes it clear why foul and hellish things are meant by the kinds of 'nakedness' dealt with in 9960 above, and why it was commanded so strictly that when they ministered Aaron and his sons should be wearing the undergarments covering the loins, and that if they did not they would die, for it says,

Make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh; from the loins even to the thighs they shall be. And they shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they go into the tent of meeting or when they approach the altar to minister in the holy place, that they may not bear iniquity and die. It shall be the statute of an age 6 for him and his seed after him.

[6] It should be recognized therefore that by conjugial love all celestial and spiritual love is meant, because truly conjugial love, as has been shown above, is fundamental to all other kinds of love. People therefore in whom that fundamental love is present have all other loves belonging to heaven and the Church present in them; for as has been stated, it descends from the marriage of good and truth in the heavens, the marriage that makes heaven. This also explains why heaven is compared in the Word to a marriage, and is also actually called a marriage. From this too it is evident why precautions were taken to prevent the nakedness of Aaron or his sons from being visible while they ministered; for their nakedness served to mean all loves contrary to heavenly loves, which in general are called self-love and love of the world when they are the ends in view, and are foul and hellish loves. People at the present day have no knowledge that all this is so because they are steeped in these loves and take delight in nothing except that which arises from them. So it is that when spiritual love and celestial love are mentioned they are perplexed, not knowing what they may be, nor consequently what heaven may be; and perhaps they are astonished when they hear and consider that spiritual and celestial love separated from self-love and love of the world holds eternal happiness within it that is indescribable.

736. As for Noah, or the member of this new Church, he was such that he believed with simplicity those things which he had come to possess from the Most Ancient Church. These were items of doctrine that had been gathered together and converted into a kind of doctrinal form by those called Enoch. The disposition of the people meant by Noah however was entirely different from those before the Flood who perished, called the Nephilim. For they immersed doctrinal matters concerning faith in their own filthy desires and in this way strove after dreadful persuasions from which they were unwilling to draw back even though they were taught by others and were shown that these were falsities. This dual genius or disposition also exists among people today. The former can be regenerated easily, but the latter with difficulty.
