How preachers through history handled this text
8 public-domain excerpts on Ezekiel 15, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Ezekiel has again and again, in God's name, foretold the utter ruin of Jerusalem; but, it should seem, he finds it hard to reconcile himself to it, and to acquiesce in the will of God in this severe dispensation; and therefore God takes various methods to satisfy him not only that it shall be so, but that there is no remedy: it must be so; it is fit that it should be so. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible, Vol. 4 (Isaiah to Malachi), on Ezekiel 15:1–30 (Public Domain)
