How preachers through history handled this text
19 public-domain excerpts on Ezekiel 14, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“23. And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, says the Lord GOD. 23. Et consolabuntur vos, quia videbitis vias ipsorum et opera ipsorum: et scietis quod non frustra fecerim quaecunque feci in ea, dicit Dominator Iehovah. He now puts the verb for comforting in the third person, but in the same sense, because after the Jews shall have been led captive, they will bear sure and special marks of God's justice against their sins. …”
— Calvin, Commentary on Ezekiel - Volume 2, on Ezekiel 14:23–30 (Public Domain)
