EZEKIEL CHAPTER 18
God disalloweth the parable of sour grapes, Eze_18:1-4. He showeth his dealing with a just man, Eze_18:5-9, with the wicked son of a just father, Eze_18:10-13, and with the just son of a wicked father, Eze_18:14-18. He declareth that the treatment of both son and father shall be according to their respective deserts, Eze_18:19,20; and that the wicked, if he repent, shall live, Eze_18:21-23; but he that revolteth from his righteousness shall die, Eze_18:21. He defendeth the equity of his dealings, Eze_18:25-30, and exhorteth to repentance, Eze_18:31,32.
He did not entertain them with a dream of his own head, but the Holy Spirit of prophecy suggests this to him, which now he speaketh on God’s behalf, and against the Jews. He had often before spoke God’s word in his name, as Eze 6 Eze 7 Eze 13, Eze_12:25, and now once more he is commanded so to do.
