24、随着内层揭开得越来越多，这些居民当中的次序发生改变和反转。那些最能推理反对教会神圣事物的人冲到中间，取得统治权。而剩下的，就是不怎么能推理的人，则退到周边，承认那些在中间的人为自己的守护天使或天使导师。他们以这种方式把自己捆成地狱的形式。
24. As the revealing of their deeper natures increased, the hierarchy among these inhabitants changed and was reversed. The ones who made the strongest arguments against the holy principles of the church invaded the center and took control, while the rest, whose arguments were less forceful, retreated to the circumference and hailed the ones in the middle as their guardian angels.
In this way they bound themselves into bundles for hell.
24. As the disclosure of interiors proceeded, the arrangement of the people living there changed and was reversed. Those who reasoned most energetically in attacking the holy things of the church burst into the middle and took control. The remainder, who were less energetic in reasoning, retreated to the sides and recognised those in the middle as their guardian angels. In this way they bound themselves together so as to resemble hell.
24. As the disclosure of the interiors increased, so the order among the inhabitants was changed and inverted. Those who were most powerful in reasonings against the holy things of the church, rushed into the middle, and assumed the dominion; and the rest, who were less powerful in reasonings, receded to the circumferences, and acknowledged those who were in the middle as their tutor-angels. Thus they collected themselves together into the form of hell.
24. Sicut reclusio interiorum increvit, ita ordo inter habitantes mutatus et inversus est; illi qui maxime invaluerunt ratiociniis contra sancta ecclesiae, irruperunt in medium, et dominium ceperunt; ac reliqui, qui minus valuerunt ratiociniis, ad latera circumcirca secesserunt, et illos qui in medio erant, pro suis angelis tutoribus agnoverunt: ita colligaverunt se in facies inferni.
