4 και ευρεν βασιλευς ασσυριων εν τω ωσηε αδικιαν οτι απεστειλεν αγγελους προς σηγωρ βασιλεα αιγυπτου και ουκ ηνεγκεν μαναα τω βασιλει ασσυριων εν τω ενιαυτω εκεινω και επολιορκησεν αυτον ο βασιλευς ασσυριων και εδησεν αυτον εν οικω φυλακης


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 4. But those who are in good in such a state of the general church depend upon the Lord for salvation and on the good of simple science or knowledge, not being allured by reasonings, as is the corrupted man continually. Yet nevertheless the good are hindered by the general state of corruption, being tempted both as to the will and as to the understanding.
