2579. That realm, or those who are in that realm filled with the intentions of evil, are not purged like those who are outwardly evil, for the more inwardly evil one is, the heavier and longer lasting is the punishment. So there awaits a very heavy and very long lasting hell, and a purging to the point where almost nothing of them remains, for those who are against compassion, as described before [2565-72], and who are against innocence, all of whom are deceitful and more inwardly evil than others. 1748, 9 July.
