Matthew Henry on Ezekiel 6:8-10

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

A remnant of Israel should be left; at length they should remember the Lord, their obligations to him, and rebellion against him. True penitents see sin to be that abominable thing which the Lord hates.

Those who truly loathe sin, loathe themselves because of sin. They give glory to God by their repentance. Whatever brings men to remember Him, and their sins against him, should be regarded as a blessing.
