[138] λέγει δὲ πρὸς τὸν προφήτην πᾶσα διάνοια χήρα καὶ ἐρήμη κακῶν μέλλουσα γίνεσθαι· „ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰσῆλθες
πρὸς μὲ ἀναμνῆσαι τὸ ἀδίκημά μου καὶ τὸ ἁμάρτημά μου“ (III Reg. ¹ 17,18)· εἰσελθὼν γὰρ εἰς τὴν ψυχὴν ὁ ἔνθους οὗτος καὶ κατεσχημένος ἐξ ἔρωτος ὀλυμπίου καὶ διηρεθισμένος τοῖς τῆς θεοφορήτου μανίας ἀκατασχέτοις οἴστροις μνήμην ἀδικημάτων καὶ ἁμαρτημάτων ἀρχαίων ἐργάζεται, οὐχ ἵνα πάλιν αὐτοῖς χρήσηται, ἀλλ’ ἵνα μέγα στενάξασα καὶ μέγα κλαύσασα τὴν παλαιὰν τροπὴν τὰ μὲν ἐκείνης ἔγγονα μισήσασα
ἀποστραφῇ, οἷς δ’ ὑφηγεῖται ὁ ἑρμηνεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ λόγος καὶ προφήτης ἕπηται·

[138] And every soul that is beginning to be widowed and devoid of evils, says to the prophet, "O, man of God! hast thou come to me to remind me of my iniquity and of my sin?" ¹ For he being inspired, and entering into the soul, and being filled with heavenly love, and being amazingly excited by the intolerable stimulus of heaven-inflicted frenzy, works in the soul a recollection of its ancient iniquities and offences: not in order that it may commit such again, —but that, greatly lamenting and bitterly bewailing its former error, it may hate its own offspring, and reject them with aversion, and may follow the admonitions of the word of God, the interpreter and prophet of his will.
