Ezekiel 18:25
_ _ Their plea for saying, “The way of the Lord is not equal,” was that God treated different classes in a different way. But it was really their way that was unequal, since living in sin they expected to be dealt with as if they were righteous. God’s way was invariably to deal with different men according to their deserts. |
