Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 14:23

_ _ they shall comfort you — not in words, but by your recognizing in their manifest guilt, that God had not been unjustly severe to them and the city.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 14:12-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 14:23

Comfort you — That is, you will be comforted, when you compare their case with your own: when they tell you how righteous God was, in bringing these judgments upon them. This will reconcile you to the justice of God, in thus punishing his own people, and to the goodness of God, who now appeared to have had kind intentions in all.
