Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 33:10-20

These verses are the substance of what we had before (Ezek. 18:20) and they are so full and express a declaration of the terms on which people stand with God (as the former were of the terms on which ministers stand) that it is no wonder that they are here repeated, as those were, though we had the substance of them before. Observe here, I. The cavils of the people against God's proceedings with them. God was now in his providence contending with them, but their uncircumcised hearts were not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:12

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people ,.... See Gill on Ezekiel 33:2 . The purport of what the prophet is bid to say in this and some following verses is, that the righteousness of a man that trusts in it, he sinning and not repenting, shall not save him; and that the wickedness of a repenting sinner shall not damn him: the righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression ; this must be understood, not of a truly righteous... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 33:10-20

Men's misconception of God's government. Men are naturally prone to merge themselves in the nation. This was, perhaps, a stronger habit among the Jews than among us. They could not understand how that, while God punished the nation, he could protect the individual. Israel may be depressed in fortune, while yet Daniel and his companions are elevated. Sodom may be destroyed, but Lot shall be preserved. I. SUFFERING OFTEN BLINDS MEN 'S EYES TO GOD 'S EQUITABLENESS . It is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 33:12-13

The vanity of transitory goodness. The ministers of religion are often pained and sometimes discouraged by instances, such as are here referred to, of that goodness which is "as the morning cloud and the early dew, which soon goeth away." I. THERE IS A GOODNESS WHICH IS SPECIOUS , BUT SUPERFICIAL . Like the seed growing upon rocky soil, it springs up rapidly, and its show is fair; but the reality has no correspondence to the appearance. Impressible, easily influenced,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 33:12-16

Past and present. I. THE PRESENT WILL NOT BE JUDGED BY THE PAST . This is one principle underlying the various very clear statements of the passage. It is a principle that is needed in order to balance the influence of other principles that appear to work in an opposite direction. Indeed, at first sight it seems to be contradictory to some well-known laws. Is it not repeatedly asserted that a man will be judged by his past life? The sins of the past may be forgotten,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 33:12-19

God's equal way. These words bring out— I. THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE STONER . God gives him the opportunity of returning, and of recovering that which was lost (see previous homily). He is "not to fall in the day that he turns from his wickedness." 1. God condemns and warns him; he tells him that his sin is ruining him, leading him to death ( Ezekiel 33:14 ). 2. He hearkens and repents; has so deep a sense of his folly and his guilt that he turns utterly away, in heart... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:1-20

33:1-39:29 RETURN TO THE LANDA new phase in Ezekiel’s work (33:1-20)Up till now Ezekiel’s messages have been concerned mainly with God’s judgment - first his judgment on Jerusalem, then his judgment on other nations. Now that Jerusalem has fallen (see v. 21), the prophet concentrates more on the task of building up the exiles. He wants them to be a new people who will be ready to repossess the land when God’s time comes. This, however, is going to involve some stern warnings. Ezekiel is... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 33:1-20

A. A warning to the exiles 33:1-20Since this message is undated, it may have come to Ezekiel about the same time as the previous two in chapter 32, namely, in the last month of 585 B.C. If so, Ezekiel received it about two months after God gave him the six messages recorded in Ezekiel 33:21 to Ezekiel 39:29 (cf. Ezekiel 33:21). Perhaps the writer inserted the present message in the text here because its strong encouragement to repent was more typical of Ezekiel’s emphasis before news of... read more
