3 καὶ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρὸς ηλιου τὸν θεσβίτην λέγων ἀναστὰς δεῦρο εἰς συνάντησιν τῶν ἀγγέλων οχοζιου βασιλέως σαμαρείας καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς εἰ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι θεὸν ἐν ισραηλ ὑμεῖς πορεύεσθε ἐπιζητῆσαι ἐν τῇ βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν ακκαρων


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 3. Wherefore Divine Truth from Divine Love revealed in the Word of the Lord, leading the souls of men, drawing them, and dwelling in them, is elevated in the understanding of the corrupted man, and opposed to his falsities, dictating that the way of salvation ought to be sought for in the interior truth of the church, and not in the extreme falsities of faith alone which is barren and desolate.
