Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ezekiel 18 - Introduction

God reproveth the unjust parable of sour grapes: he sheweth how he dealeth with the just father, with a wicked son of a just father, with a just son of a wicked father, with a wicked man repenting, with a just man revolting: he defendeth his justice, and exhorteth to repentance.

Before Christ 593.
