Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 14:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. The second part of the chapter: the effect which the presence of a few righteous persons was to have on the purposes of God (compare :- ). God had told Jeremiah that the guilt of Judah was too great to be pardoned even for the intercession of Moses and Samuel ( Psalms 99:6 ; Jeremiah 14:2 ; Jeremiah 15:1 ), which had prevailed formerly ( Exodus 32:11-14 ; Numbers 14:13-20 ; 1 Samuel 7:8-12 ), implying the extraordinary heinousness of their guilt, since in ordinary cases "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (for others) availeth much" ( 1 Samuel 7:8-9.7.12- : ). Ezekiel supplements Jeremiah by adding that not only those two once successful intercessors, but not even the three pre-eminently righteous men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, could stay God's judgments by their righteousness. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
