9 And I have done in thee that which I have not done, And that which I do not its like again, Because of all thine abominations.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 5:9

Commentary on Ezekiel 5:5-17

(Read Ezekiel 5:5-17)

The sentence passed upon Jerusalem is very dreadful, the manner of expression makes it still more so. Who is able to stand in God's sight when he is angry? Those who live and die impenitent, will perish for ever unpitied; there is a day coming when the Lord will not spare. Let not persons or churches, who change the Lord's statutes, expect to escape the doom of Jerusalem. Let us endeavour to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Sooner or later God's word will prove itself true.
