381. [verse 16] 'They shall not hunger any more, nor thirst any more' signifies that henceforth they shall not lack goods and truths. By 'not hungering' is signified not to have a lack of good, and by 'not thirsting' is signified no lack of truth; for 'hunger' is said of bread and food and 'thirst' is said of wine and water, and by 'bread' and 'food' good is signified, while by 'wine' and 'water' truth is signified, as may be seen above (n. 323).
