57. Chapter 57 [Isaiah] 1, 2 Truth and good and life are no longer in them, 2, 3 3 because they have falsified and adulterated them, 3 4 speaking against the Divine. 3 5 They love all falsities whatsoever, and destroy all truths whatsoever, 3 6 and worship those things that come from their own intelligence, 3 7 and extol doctrine derived therefrom even to worshipping it, 3 8 and have published it before all, and have extended it to falsities of every kind, 3 9 and call them heavenly goods and truths, and adore them with all submission. 3 10 They have not retracted, because this was from their own intelligence. 3, 4 11, 12 This they have done because they have not consulted the Lord, who might teach them. 3, 4 13, 14 Falsities will destroy them; it is otherwise with those who so love the Lord that He may teach them truths and remove falsities. 3, 11 15 The Lord does this with those who are humble at heart; 11 16, 17 he is not able to do this for those who are wise from what is their own [proprium], 3 18, [19] but only for those who grieve over it, 11 20, 21 not with those who bring forth from their natural nothing but evils and falsities, from which they are never removed. 3
