Ezekiel 11:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ye shall know; though you would not believe my threats, nor fear them, you shall feel them, and then you shall know: thus the wicked learn. I am the Lord, whom you should have obeyed, feared, and returned to, and who now convinceth you of his and his prophet's truth in all that was foretold you. Walked; a Scripture phrase expressive of the course of man's life. My statutes; the rules for religious observances. My judgments refer to the political and civil state, where equity and justice should have been ministered. After the manners of the heathen; in matters of religion you have turned downright idolaters, and with the, greatest contempt of your God, the only true God, you have changed him for gods of the heathen round about, and taken in their modes and abominations. And as to civil matters, you have been as unjust, oppressive, and perfidious as these nations that know not my law.

Ezekiel 11:12

12 And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
