Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 3:18

_ _ warning ... speakest to warn — The repetition implies that it is not enough to warn once in passing, but that the warning is to be inculcated continually (2 Timothy 4:2, “in season, out of season”; Acts 20:31, “night and day with tears”).

_ _ saveEzekiel 2:5 had seemingly taken away all hope of salvation; but the reference there was to the mass of the people whose case was hopeless; a few individuals, however, were reclaimable.

_ _ die in ... iniquity — (John 8:21, John 8:24). Men are not to flatter themselves that their ignorance, owing to the negligence of their teachers, will save them (Romans 2:12, “As many as have sinned without law, shall also perish without law”).
