Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 20:25

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

25. I gave them . . . statutes . . . not good —Since they would not follow My statutes that were good, "I gave them" their own ( :- ) and their fathers' "which were not good"; statutes spiritually corrupting, and, finally, as the consequence, destroying them. Righteous retribution ( Psalms 81:12 ; Hosea 8:11 ; Romans 1:24 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:11 ). 2 Thessalonians 2:11- : proves this view to be correct (compare 2 Thessalonians 2:11- : ). Thus on the plains of Moab ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11- : ), in chastisement for the secret unfaithfulness to God in their hearts, He permitted Baal's worshippers to tempt them to idolatry (the ready success of the tempters, moreover, proving the inward unsoundness of the tempted); and this again ended necessarily in punitive judgments. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-26" class="com-number"
