Ezekiel 9:11 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

And the man clothed with linen reported the matter Gave an account of what he had done in pursuance of his commission; he had found out all that mourned in secret for the sins of the land, and cried out against them by a public testimony, and he had marked them in order to their preservation. Lord, I have done as thou hast commanded me We do not find that those who were commissioned to destroy reported what destruction they had made, but he who was appointed to protect reported his matter; for it would be more pleasing, both to God and the prophet, to hear of those that were saved than of those that perished.

Ezekiel 9:11
