Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 33:21

Commentary on Ezekiel 33:21-29

(Read Ezekiel 33:21-29)

Those are unteachable indeed, who do not learn their dependence upon God, when all creature-comforts fail. Many claim an interest in the peculiar blessings to true believers, while their conduct proves them enemies of God. They call this groundless presumption strong faith, when God's testimony declares them entitled to his threatenings, and nothing else.
