Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 50. Self-love also (or the evil genii who are in self-love) is filled with fear, because it is opposed to celestial good; and hence it is elevated, as to externals, and seeks protection from an outward conformity to truth from good in the ultimate of order.
