1917# “愿耶和华在你我中间判断”象征主的不满,这一点从之前的讨论中可以清楚地看出,所以不需要进一步的解释。这些情况的深层含义,只有那些经历过试探之争战的人才能够理解;在试探中,人会经历到荒废和荒凉,感受到绝望,从而引发痛苦和愤怒,以及其他种种内心的苦楚,这些情绪会随着恶与伪的状态而变化,这些恶与伪是由恶灵和魔鬼唤起,人要与之抗争的。恶魔般的灵最喜欢的就是揭露某种伪谬,他们甚至常常故意向人引入伪谬,然后对他加以指责。因此,主的愤怒非常之大,因为在他的初步理性中,并不存在伪谬,只有一种表面上看似真实,实际上并不真实的现象(之前在1661节和1911节的末尾已经有所讨论)。
1917、“愿耶和华在你我之间判断”表示主的愤慨。这从刚才的阐述清楚可知,因而是显而易见的,无需解释。除了那些经历过试探的争战之人外,没有人能充分理解这些事。试探会带来荒废和荒凉的状态,以及绝望和随之而来的悲伤、愤慨的状态,更不用说其它内在痛苦情绪了。这些事会照着恶魔和灵人在一个人里面所激起,并且他与之争战的邪恶和虚假而以不同的方式、在不同的时候临到他。魔鬼灵只喜欢在人里面找到某种虚假;事实上,他们通常把自己的虚假植入他,同时回过头来指责他拥有虚假。这就是为何主的愤慨如此之大,因为祂的第一理性里面没有任何虚假,只有本身并非真理的真理表象,如前所述(1661,1911e节)。
Potts(1905-1910) 1917
1917. Jehovah judge between me and thee. That this signifies the Lord's indignation, is evident from what has just been said, and thus without explication. No further idea of these things can be had, except by those who have been in the combats of temptations. In temptations there are vastations and desolations, and there are states of despair, and of consequent grief and indignation, besides other interior painful emotions; and this with variety and alternation, according to the states of evil and falsity which are excited by evil genii and spirits, and against which the combat is being waged. The diabolical spirits desire nothing more than to find some falsity, in fact it is common with them to induce a falsity from themselves, and then at the same time to make it the subject of accusation. Hence the Lord's indignation was so great, in whose first rational there was no falsity, but an appearance of truth that in itself was not true (spoken of before, n. 1661, 1911 at the end).
Elliott(1983-1999) 1917
1917. 'May Jehovah judge between me and you!' means the Lord's righteous anger. This is clear from what has just been stated, and so is clear without explanation. Nobody can gain a fuller grasp of these matters except people who have experienced conflicts brought about by temptations. Temptations bring states of vastation and desolation, states of despair, and consequently of grief and anger, in addition to other inward painful emotions. These things occur varyingly and alternatingly according to the states of evil and falsity which evil genii and spirits arouse and against which conflict takes place. Devilish spirits like nothing better than to discover some falsity; indeed it is quite common for them to introduce a falsity from themselves into a person, and then at the same time to charge him with possessing it. This was why the Lord's anger was so great, for within His first rational there was no falsity, but there was the appearance of truth which in itself was not true, as dealt with already in 1661 and 1911 (end).

1917. `Judicet Jehovah inter me et inter te': quod significet indignationem Domini, constat ab illis quae mox dicta sunt, ita absque explicatione. Quomodo haec porro se habent, idea non capi potest nisi ab illis qui in tentationum pugnis fuerunt; in tentationibus sunt vastationes et desolationes, sunt desperationes, ac inde indolentiae et indignationes, praeter alios motus dolorificos interiores, et hoc varie et alternis secundum status mali et falsi qui a malis geniis et spiritibus excitantur et contra quos pugnatur; diabolici spiritus nihil plus cupiunt quam invenire aliquod falsum, immo commune apud eos est inducere a se falsum, et simul tunc accusare; inde tanta Domini indignatio, in cujus primo rationali nullum falsum, sed apparentia veri quae in se non vera, de quibus prius n. 1661, 1911 ad fin.
