Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 14:6
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
6. Though God so threatened the people for their idolatry ( :- ), yet He would rather they should avert the calamity by "repentance." turn yourselves —CALVIN translates, "turn others " (namely, the stranger proselytes in the land). As ye have been the advisers of others (see :- , "the stranger that sojourneth in Israel") to idolatry, so bestow at least as much pains in turning them to the truth; the surest proof of repentance. But the parallelism to Ezekiel 14:3 ; Ezekiel 14:4 favors English Version. Their sin was twofold: (1) "In their heart " or inner man; (2) "Put before their face, " that is, exhibited outwardly. So their repentance is generally expressed by "repent," and is then divided into: (1) "Turn yourselves (inwardly) from your idols"; (2) "Turn away your faces (outwardly) from all your abominations." It is not likely that an exhortation to convert others should come between the two affecting themselves. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
