Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 11. That celestial - natural good from the Lord through the celestial and spiritual heavens removes aversion from the Lord and promotes conjunction with Him, because it is zealous for the preservation of the integrity of good and truth in worship, and by its life and actions promotes the removal of aversion from the Lord, so that man, in this case, is not vastated.
