211. Jonah

Chapter 1 The conversion of the nations, which are meant by "Nineveh." 11 1-3 Those who were of the Jewish nation were commanded to teach the Word to the nations round about, but they would not, and thus they kept the Word among themselves alone. 11, 2 4-6 Knowledges [cognitiones] began to perish with them, and yet they lived unconcernedly. 2 7-9 The nations perceived that the state of the church was perverted among themselves, because of the loss of knowledges [cognitiones] among the Jews, and that the latter were unwilling to impart them to others outside of themselves. 11, 2 10-13 They should reject those things which were from the Jewish nation, because they were falsified, so that they might be saved. 11, 2 14-16 They prayed unto the Lord for salvation, which was effected for them, when the falsities from the Jewish nation had been removed. 17 17 [See next chapter.] 7, 6
