158. That 'man' (vir) means the internal man, or what amounts to the same, one who is intelligent and wise, is clear in Isaiah,
I look, and there is no man, and from these there is no counsellor. Isa 41:18.
['No man'] stands for no wise and intelligent person. In Jeremiah,
Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem and see if you find a man, if anyone is executing judgement and seeking truth. Jer 5:1.'Executing judgement' stands for being wise, and 'seeking truth' for having intelligence.
