116. Chapter 50 [Jeremiah] Of those who have adulterated and falsified the goods and truths of the church, who are meant by "Babylon" and "Chaldea." 3 1-3 They will no longer have any good or truth. 3 4-7 Then those who are in ignorance of good and truth, because of a lack of them, will be brought to the Lord. 11 8 They will depart from "Babylon." 11 9, 10 "Babylon" will perish, 3 11 because they have vastated the church. 3 12, 13 It is without any truth. 3 14-16 Their destruction at the time of judgment, 15 17 because she has destroyed the church. 15, 3 18-20 After "Babylon" has been destroyed, a new church will be established, which will be acceptable to the Lord. 3, 11 21-24 Babylon will be destroyed because she is against the Lord. 3 25-30 They are to be wholly destroyed, 3 31, 32 on account of the love of ruling, 3 33, 34 because they do not refrain from destroying the church which the Lord establishes and redeems. 3 35-38 All things appertaining to them from firsts to lasts have been destroyed by means of falsities. 3 39, 40 They have horrible falsities and evils. 3 41-46 The last judgment upon them. 15
