824、右脚跟下面有一个地狱，住在那里的，是那些以残忍，同时以通奸为乐的人，他们在这些行为中感受到其生活的最大快乐。令人惊讶的是，那些活在肉身时就很残忍的人也是最坏的通奸者。这就是住在那个地狱之人的性质，他们在那里以难以启齿的方式实施残忍行为。他们通过幻想为自己制造类似用来捣药的器皿和研磨的工具，用来碾碎和折磨任何可能的人。可以说他们还为自己制造宽大的斧头，就像刽子手所用的那种，以及钻具，无情地用到彼此身上，更不用说其它可怕的残忍行为了。一些犹太人住在这个地方，他们过去就以这种残忍的方式对待外邦人。如今，这个地狱正在增长，新增人员主要来自那些属于所谓的基督教界，以通奸为生活的全部乐趣，通常也很残忍的人。有时，他们的快乐会转化为人类粪便的恶臭，当这个地狱被打开时，这些臭味就会大量散发出来。在灵人界，我曾闻到过这种臭味，结果差点昏过去。粪便的恶臭轮番充斥地狱，然后散去。正是他们在通奸中所享受的快乐转化为这种恶臭。随着时间推移，他们与这些东西相处一定时间后，就孤零零地生活在折磨中，变得像丑陋的骷髅，尽管他们还活着。

The Hells (Continued): The Hells of Those Who Spent Their Lives in Adultery and Lechery; in Addition, the Hells of Deceivers and Witches
UNDER the heel of the right foot is the hell of those who enjoyed cruelty and also adultery and felt the greatest pleasure of their lives in those two things. It is remarkable that people who were cruel while living in the body also practiced adultery more than any others. Such people live in this hell.
There they inflict cruelties in unspeakable ways. In their imaginations they create [giant] mortarlike vessels (similar to those used for grinding herbs) and pestles, which they use to crush and torture everyone they can. They also conjure up executioners' broadaxes, or something like them, as well as trephines{*1} with which they viciously maul each other — and other grim devices besides.
In that hell are a number of Jews who once treated Gentiles in the same cruel ways. Today the hell is still growing, the main additions coming from the so-called Christian world. These "Christians" obtained all the joy of their lives from adultery, and most of them were also abusive.
[2] Sometimes their delight is transformed into the reek of human dung, an odor that pours out copiously when the hell opens. I sensed the smell in the world of spirits and almost passed out. This fecal stench comes and goes in hell. It consists of the inhabitants' pleasure in adultery, converted into a horrible aroma.
As time passes and they finish a certain amount of time living in such scenes, they are left alone, sitting in pain, and seem to turn into misshapen skeletons, although they remain alive.

824. CHAPTER 8. CONTINUATION CONCERNING THE HELLS. HERE CONCERNING THE HELLS OF THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED THEIR LIVES IN ADULTERIES AND LASCIVIOUSNESS. ALSO CONCERNING THE HELLS OF THE DECEITFUL, AND OF SORCERESSES. Beneath the heel of the right foot* is a hell inhabited by those who have delighted in cruelty and at the same time in adulteries, and have felt in them the greatest delight of their lives. It is remarkable that those who have been cruel in the life of the body have been also, more than others, adulterers. Such are those who are in this hell, where they practice unspeakable methods of cruelty. By their phantasies they make themselves vessels as for braying, like those used for braying herbs, and pestles, wherewith they bray** and torture whomsoever they can; and also as it were broad axes, like those of executioners; and augers, with which they do cruel violence to one another; not to mention other direful cruelties. Some of the Jews are there who in former times so cruelly treated the Gentiles. And at this day that hell is increasing, especially from those who come from the so-called Christian world and have had all the delight of their life in adulteries, who also are for the most part cruel. Sometimes their delight is turned into the stench of human excrement, which exhales excessively when that hell is opened. I perceived it in the world of spirits, and at the time almost fell into a swoon from the effect of it. This noisome, excrementitious smell by turns fills the hell, and by turns ceases; for it is their delight from adulteries which is turned into such offensiveness. In process of time, when they have passed through a given period in such things, they are left alone and sit in torment, becoming like unsightly skeletons, but still living. * The author speaks of places in the spiritual world as being situated in accordance with their correspondence to the human body. [Reviser.] ** See Prov. 27:22; 2 Sam. 12:31; and Spiritual Experiences 2639.

THE HELLS - continued Here, the hells of people who have gone through life committing adultery and acts of unrestrained lust; also the hells of deceivers and witches.
Beneath the heel of the right foot there is a hell where there are people who have taken delight in being cruel and at the same time in committing adultery. They have felt in such behaviour the chief joy in their lives. It is a surprising fact that people who have been cruel during their lifetime have also been the worst adulterers. Such is the nature of the people who inhabit that hell. There they carry out acts of cruelty by unmentionable methods. By means of their delusions they make vessels for themselves resembling those in which herbs are crushed to bits, and also crushing instruments, with which they crush and torment whomever they can. They also so to speak make broad axes for themselves, like those used by executioners, and drilling tools as well, which they use mercilessly on one another, in addition to other dreadful acts of cruelty. In that place are some of the Jews who in the past treated gentiles in this cruel fashion. And today this hell is growing, chiefly from persons who belong to the so-called Christian world and who have found all the joy of life in committing adultery, and who too are for the most part cruel people. Sometimes their joy is converted into the stench of human excrement which is given off voluminously when this hell is opened up. I have smelt it in the world of spirits and have collapsed practically unconscious as a result of it. That foul stink of excrement by turns invades hell and then leaves off. It is the joy they take in committing adultery which is converted into so foul a stink. In the process of time, having spent a definite period of time with such things, they are left all alone, living in torment and becoming like hideous skeletons, though they are still living.

824. GENESEOS CAPUT OCTAVUM Continuatio de InfernisHIC de Infernis eorum qui in Adulteriis et Lasciviis vitam transegerunt: tum de Infernis Dolosorum et Praestigiatricium
SUB calcaneo pedis dextri est infernum ubi ii qui delectati sunt crudelitate et simul adulteriis, et in iis jucundissimum suae vitae perceperunt: mirum, quod qui in corporis vita crudeles fuerunt, etiam prae aliis adulteri fuerunt; qui tales, in illo inferno sunt: ibi crudelitates exercent infandis modis; vasa sibi per phantasias faciunt, quasi trituratoria sicut quae sunt olerum, et instrumenta trituratoria, quibus sic triturant et cruciant quos possunt; tum etiam quasi secures latas sicut carnificum, ut et terebras, quibus crudeliter unus alterum tractat, praeter alia dira. Ibi sunt aliqui ex Judaeis, qui ita olim crudeliter tractarunt gentes; et hodie infernum hoc crescit, cumprimis ab illis qui sunt ex orbe ita vocato Christiano et in adulteriis omnem vitae suae jucunditatem habuerunt, qui ut plurimum quoque crudeles sunt. Quandoque jucunditas eorum vertitur in fetorem stercoris humani, qui, cum infernum hoc aperitur, (x)affatim exhalat; sentitus in mundo spirituum et tunc fere in deliquium inde lapsus sum; graveolentia ista stercorea per vices occupat infernum et per vices cessat; est jucundum eorum ex adulteriis quod in talem graveolentiam vertitur. Successu temporis, quando aetatem in talibus transegerunt, relinquuntur solitarii, et sedent in cruciatu, et fiunt sicut sceleta deformia, sed usque vivunt.
