Ezekiel 12:21-25

Here is a third sermon of the Prophet; and it is to the same purport as the former. It should seem, that it was become almost proverbial, if judgments did not immediately follow the commission of sin, the sinner took confidence, and said, the days are prolonged, and every vision faileth. Solomon had remarked, much to the same purpose, long before. Ecclesiastes 8:11. But the Lord here reproves the presumptuous thought. One of the Apostles had it in commission to tell the sinner, in yet more awful terms, the sad mistake of such reasoning. See 2 Peter 3:3.
