Verse 16. Thus the regenerating drive the Lord from them by evils and the falses of evil; they become averse to Him by reason of their internal defilement. ("The Lord is especially called Zealous or the Avenger when the man of the Church has corrupted the Divine which ought universally to reign with him, and which he ought above all things to love, to reflect on, and to fear; when this is corrupted or destroyed, then instead of heavenly light mere darkness usurps its place, as there is no longer any influx thereof from the Divine, because there is no reception" (Arcana Coelestia 8875).)
