3я Царств 11:33

Verse 33. The reason for which is that the Lord, in the corrupted celestial church, is forsaken; faith alone in external things is exalted; falsities from corrupted natural good prevail, and evil from corrupted natural truth predominates; nor are the truths which lead to good respected, nor is the obedience which confirms truth practised; so that neither externally nor internally is the Divine Word fulfilled, according to the example of the Lord in His conflicts against the powers of evil.
