3 and say to the sons of Ammon , 'Hear the word of the Lord GOD ! Thus says the Lord GOD , "Because you said , ' Aha !' against My sanctuary when it was profaned , and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate , and against the house of Judah when they went into exile ,

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:3

Commentary on Ezekiel 25:1-7

(Read Ezekiel 25:1-7)

It is wicked to be glad at the calamities of any, especially of God's people; it is a sin for which he will surely reckon. God will make it appear that he is the God of Israel, though he suffers them for a time to be captives in Babylon. It is better to know Him, and to be poor, than to be rich and ignorant of him.
