Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8566

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8566. 'Why do you wrangle with me?' means that they should be more restrained in their complaining. This is clear from the meaning of 'wrangling' as bitter complaining, as above in 8563. It also implies that they should be more restrained, for it says that they are thereby tempting Jehovah.
