Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:5

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.
