Ezekiel 24:25

Shall it not be? the question is to be resolved affirmatively, it shall be. In the day; in the day of the taking the city of Jerusalem. When I take from them; though Nebuchadnezzar was the means or instrument, God did act by him, who did God's work more than his own. Their strength, & c.; the kingdom dissolved, the king taken, city sacked, the temple burnt, which is by the following characters described, as the only thing they valued; though those particulars may be applied to soils and daughters in the close of the verse: however, it amounts to this, In that day, wherein all their public and private joys and hopes shall be destroyed in the destruction of the kingdom and their children, one that escapeth shall bring the news to the prophet.
