151.关于犹太人的性质。在来世，犹太人正如耶利米所描述的那样；他们的性质与经上的描述毫无二致。这一点通过大量经历向我证明了，因为蒙弥赛亚神的神性怜悯，他们当中很多人围在我身边，在受到折磨之后与我交谈。但他们依旧那么疯狂，以至于几乎无药可救，除非我告诉他们，他们就是那“劈柴挑水的人”，和约书亚记（9:27）中所说的人一样。
有一个人有一段时间与我同在，他尚能理解更内在的事，并且感到很吃惊。我被告知，他是尼哥底母，他能明白这些事是真的。但与我同住并交谈了一段时间后，他不是退后，就是在那些不说话的灵人中间。
151. About the Jews, what they are like
Just as they were described by Jeremiah, so the Jews indeed are in the other life; their character exactly matches the description. This was shown to me by much experience, for very many of them who, by God the Messiah's Divine Mercy, were round about me, spoke with me after having been let into torments. But they were still insane, so there seems to be hardly any remedy for them except, as I told them, to be woodcutters and water carriers, like the people spoken of in the Book of Joshua [9:27]. 1747, the 12th of October (old calendar).
There was one who was with me for a while who could still grasp more inward matters, and was quite amazed (I was told that he was Nicodemus). He was able to understand that they were true, but, after staying and conversing with me for some time, either he withdrew, or else was amongst the spirits who are not speaking. The 11th day of October, 1747 (old calendar).
151. CONCERNING THE QUALITY OF THE JEWS
The Jews in the other life are such as they are described by Jeremiah; that their nature is completely in agreement with that description has been shown to me by much experience. For of the Divine mercy of God Messiah very many of them were around me, and spoke with me after having been let into torments. But they were still insane, so that there was almost no remedy for them, unless, as I told them, they might be "hewers of wood and drawers of water", like those spoken of in the Book of Joshua [Joshua 9:27]. 1747, Oct. 12, o.s.
There was one who was with me for some time who could still perceive more interior things, and he was greatly astonished. It was told me that he was Nicodemus, and he could understand that these things were true. But after staying and conversing with me for a time, he either receded, or he was among those who do not speak. Oct. 11, o.s., 1747.
151. De Judaeis, quales sunt
Sicut descripti sunt a Jeremia, tales quoque sunt Judaei, in altera vita; indoles plane similis est descriptioni, quod mihi est ostensum per multam experientiam, nam perplures eorum, ex Divina Dei Messiae misericordia circum me fuerunt, loquuti mecum, in cruciatus missi, sed usque insaniverunt, sic ut iis fere nulla medela, nisi, ut iis dixi, quod lignarii et aquarii essent, sicut ii, de quibus in Josuae Libro [IX: [27] agitur. 1747, 12 Octob. st. v. Unus erat, qui aliquamdiu mecum erat, qui usque percipere potuit intimiora, quique valde miratus est, dicebatur mihi quod esset Nicodemus, qui intelligere potuit, quod vera essent, sed post aliquam commorationem et colloquutionem mecum, vel recessit, vel erat inter eos qui non loquuntur. Die 11 Oct. st. v. 1747.
