JUSTICE, Divine.—­It is contrary to Divine justice to condemn those who acknowledge a God and from a principle of religion practise the laws of justice, which consist in shunning evils because they are contrary to God, and doing what is good because it is agreeable to God, 351.

JUSTICE and JUDGMENT.—­Justice has relation to moral wisdom, and judgment to rational wisdom, 164.  The spiritual man in all he does acts from justice and judgment, 280.

KIDS.—­In heaven, the forms of animals under which the chaste delights of conjugial love are presented to view are kids &c., 430.

KINGDOM, the, of Christ, which is heaven, is a kingdom of uses, 7.

LABYRINTH, paradisiacal, 8.

LAKES signify falsifications of truth, 80.  Lakes of fire and brimstone, 79, 80.

LAMBS in the spiritual world are representative forms of the state of innocence and peace of the inhabitants, 75.  The forms of animals under which the chaste delights of conjugial love are there presented to the view, are lambs, &c., 430.  The Lord from innocence is called a lamb, 394.

LAMPS signify truth, 44.

LANGUAGE.—­All in the spiritual world have the spiritual language, which has in it nothing common to any natural language, 326.  Every man comes of himself into the use of that language after his decease, 326.  Every spirit and angel, when conversing with a man, speaks his proper language, 326.  The sound of spiritual language differs so far from the sound of natural language, that a spiritual sound, though loud, could not at all be heard by a natural man, nor a natural sound by a spiritual man, 326.

LASCIVIOUS.—­Angels discern in the extremes what is lascivious from what is not lascivious, 439.  The external principle separated from the internal, is lascivious in the whole and in every part, 148.  The lascivious mind acts lasciviously, and the chaste mind chastely; and the latter arranges the body, whereas the former is arranged by the body, 191.

LASCIVIOUSNESS, in its spiritual origin, is insanity, 212.  In the lowest region of the mind, which is called the natural, reside all the concupiscences of lasciviousness, but in the superior region, which is called the spiritual, there are not any concupiscences, 305.  All in hell are in lasciviousness, 429.  A sphere of lasciviousness issues forth from the unchaste, 140.

LATITUDE.—­All goods and evils partake of latitude and altitude, and according to latitude have their genera, and according to altitude their degrees, 478.

LAW.—­Divine law and rational are one law, 276.  How the declaration, that no one can fulfil the law, is to be understood, 528.

LEAVE his father and mother, to, Gen. ii. 4; Matt. xix. 45, signifies to divest himself of the proprium of the will and of the understanding, 194.

LEFT, the, signifies truth, 316.

LEOPARDS in the spiritual world represent the falsities and depraved inclinations of the inhabitants to those things which pertain to idolatrous worship, 79.  Those who only read the Word, and imbibe thence nothing of doctrine, but confirm false principles, appear like leopards, 78.
