59. Chapter 59 [Isaiah] 1, 2 The Lord hears and is able to do all things, but falsities and evils stand in the way. 2 3, 4 By these, truths have been falsified, and this is the source of evils of life and falsities of doctrine. 2 5 They hatch out such things as captivate and deceive, and afterwards kill. 2 6 Those things with them that are of doctrine and of life are of no avail for anything. 2 7 They are diligent at perverting, whence comes vastation. 2 8 He that follows, destroys the truths of the church in Himself. 2 9, 10 For this reason they are in falsities and see nothing in noonday light. 2 11 Hence there is no salvation, 2 12-15 because there is nothing but evils, and a turning away from truths, thus from the Lord. 2, 4 16, 17 Inasmuch as no one was in truth, and no one was on the Lord's side, He alone fought from Divine truth with His own power, 2, 4, 7 18 seemingly from revenge; 7 19, 20 therefore Divine worship belongs to Him, for from Him is redemption, 17 21 and from His Divine is every truth of the church to eternity. 17
