AC 9139 - "vineyard" and "field"

AC 9139 [3]
Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard,
they have trodden under foot My field,
they have made My field of desire into a desert of solitude;
he has made it [the vineyard] into a solitude.
(Jeremiah 12:10-11);

where "vineyard" and "field" clearly denote the church;
and as the church is the church
from the truth and good of faith and of charity,
it is clear that the "vineyard" here
denotes the church as to truth,
and the "field,"
the church as to good.
