Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Ezekiel 9:1

CONTENTS

The Prophet is following up the subject of the former Chapter in this, with an account of divine judgments. The destruction of the ungodly, and the salvation of the righteous, are here solemnly related.

Ezekiel 9:1

The Reader will keep in remembrance the glorious person who was showing Ezekiel this vision, in the former chapter, (Ezekiel 8:2.) The same it is that here cried with a loud voice in the ears of the Prophet. The Lord speaks loud indeed, when he speaks in judgment. It should seem, that by those that have charge over the city, is meant Angels. Scripture represents them as sent, both for destruction and mercy. 2 Samuel 24:16; Acts 12:21; Hebrews 1:13.
