nerated and saved. Divine Love
wills to save all, but it cam save only by means of Divine Wisdom; to
Divine Wisdom belong all the laws through which salvation is effected;
and these laws Love cannot transcend, because Divine Love and Divine
Wisdom are one and act in unison.

38. In the Word, Divine Love and Divine Wisdom are meant by "righteousness"
and "judgment," Divine Love by "righteousness," and Divine Wisdom by
"judgment;" for this reason "righteousness" and "judgment" are predicated
in the Word of God; as in David:

Righteousness and judgment are the support of Thy Throne (Ps. 89:14).
Jehovah shall bring forth righteousness as the light, and judgment as
the noonday (Ps. 37:6).

In Hosea:

I will betroth thee unto Me for ever, in righteousness, and in

In Jeremiah:

I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, who shall reign as King

In Isaiah:

judgment and righteousness (33:5).

In David:

When I shall have learned the judgments of Thy righteousness. Seven
times a day do I praise Thee, because of the judgments of Thy
righteousness (Ps. 119:7, 164).

His Divine Wisdom. The same also is meant by "life" and "spirit" in John:

Jesus said, The words which I speak unto you, they are spirit, and
they are life (6:63).

39. In man love and wisdom appear as two separate things, yet in themselves
they are one distinctly, because with man wisdom is such as the love is,
and love is such as the wisdom is. The wisdom that does not make one with
its love appears to be wisdom, but it is not; and the love that does not
make one with its wisdom appears to be the love of wisdom, but it is not;
for the one must derive its essence and its life reciprocally from the
other. With man love and wisdom appear as two separate things, because
with him the capacity for understanding may be elevated into the light
of heaven, but not the capacity for loving, except so far as he acts
according to his und
