Ezekiel 14
Concise Complete
Threatenings against hypocrites. (1-11) God's purpose
to punish the guilty Jews, but a few should be saved. (12-23)
Verses 1-11 No
outward form or reformation can be acceptable to God, so long as any idol
possesses the heart; yet how many prefer their own devices and their own
righteousness, to the way of salvation! Men's corruptions are idols in their
hearts, and are of their own setting up; God will let them take their course.
Sin renders the sinner odious in the eyes of the pure and holy God; and in his
own eyes also, whenever conscience is awakened. Let us seek to be cleansed from
the guilt and pollution of sins, in that fountain which the Lord has opened.
Verses 12-23
National sins bring national judgments. Though sinners escape one judgment,
another is waiting for them. When God's professing people rebel against him,
they may justly expect all his judgments. The faith, obedience, and prayers of
Noah prevailed to the saving of his house, but not of the old world. Job's
sacrifice and prayer in behalf of his friends were accepted, and Daniel had
prevailed for the saving his companions and the wise men of Babylon. But a
people that had filled the measure of their sins, was not to expect to escape
for the sake of any righteous men living among them; not even of the most
eminent saints, who could be accepted in their own case only through the
sufferings and righteousness of Christ. Yet even when God makes the greatest
desolations by his judgments, he saves some to be monuments of his mercy. In
firm belief that we shall approve the whole of God's dealings with ourselves,
and with all mankind, let us silence all rebellious murmurs and objections.
