654. About the punishment of those who want to counterfeit what is holy
Those who like to counterfeit what is holy, thus deceive people by sacred illusions and the like, receive this punishment: what is holy separates itself from them, resulting in sores upon their body, scabies, leprosy, lice, and similar afflictions, depending upon [the nature of] their profanation. I was given to understand this from spirits who had been up to such practices. 1748, 6 February.
654. CONCERNING THE PUNISHMENT OF THOSE WHO WANT TO COUNTERFEIT HOLY THINGS
The punishment of those who want to counterfeit holy things, thus to deceive men by means of sacred illusions and the like, is this, that what is holy separates itself from them. The effect of this is the ulceration of their body, scabies, leprosy, lice and similar things according to the profanation. This was given me to comprehend from the spirits who engaged in such practices. 1748, Feb. 6.
