Ezekiel 6:9,10 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Perhaps there is not a more blessed account of gospel grace, and of that whichever was and ever must be gospel, than what is contained in these and the foregoing verses. In the former we have the whole cause of mercy; namely, Jehovah's sovereign will and pleasure. In these latter, we have the gracious effects of it. Jehovah in his threefold person and character, is the sole cause of all: and his glory the first and ultimate end and design of all: And the con sequence of it, as it concerns the happiness of his people; in grace here and glory hereafter, is linked in the same chain. And Reader! do not fail to remark the sweet properties of his grace, in the hearts of that remnant whom the Lord leaves. They shall remember the Lord; they shall loath themselves; and they shall know Jehovah in his Covenant relation; and they shall most freely and frankly confess, the Lord's justice in all the Lord's dispensations. Reader! here learn the truest evidences of a regenerated heart. Self-loathing, self-abhorring; God-glorifying, God-exalting, these were in Ezekiel's days, as truly as they are in ours, the surest tokens of the soul's real conversion towards God. The Lord give them both to him that writes, and to him that reads! Amen.

Ezekiel 6:9-10

9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

10 And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
