Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 21:31

Commentary on Ezekiel 21:28-32

(Read Ezekiel 21:28-32)

The diviners of the Ammonites made false prophecies of victory. They would never recover their power, but in time would be wholly forgotten. Let us be thankful to be employed as instruments of mercy; let us use our understandings in doing good; and let us stand aloof from men who are only skilful to destroy.
