Ezekiel 3:20
_ _ righteous ... turn from ... righteousness — not one “righteous” as to the root and spirit of regeneration (Psalms 89:33; Psalms 138:8; Isaiah 26:12; Isaiah 27:3; John 10:28; Philippians 1:6), but as to its outward appearance and performances. So the “righteous” (Proverbs 18:17; Matthew 9:13). As in Ezekiel 3:19 the minister is required to lead the wicked to good, so in Ezekiel 3:20 he is to confirm the well-disposed in their duty.
_ _ commit iniquity — that is, give himself up wholly to it (1 John 3:8, 1 John 3:9), for even the best often fall, but not willfully and habitually.
_ _ I lay a stumbling-block — not that God tempts to sin (James 1:13, James 1:14), but God gives men over to judicial blindness, and to their own corruptions (Psalms 9:16, Psalms 9:17; Psalms 94:23) when they “like not to retain God in their knowledge” (Romans 1:24, Romans 1:26); just as, on the contrary, God makes “the way of the righteous plain” (Proverbs 4:11, Proverbs 4:12; Proverbs 15:19), so that they do “not stumble.” Calvin refers “stumbling-block” not to the guilt, but to its punishment; “I bring ruin on him.” The former is best. Ahab, after a kind of righteousness (1 Kings 21:27-29), relapsed and consulted lying spirits in false prophets; so God permitted one of these to be his “stumbling-block,” both to sin and its corresponding punishment (1 Kings 22:21-23).
_ _ his blood will I require — (Hebrews 13:17). |
Ezekiel 3:20
I Lay — Permit it to be laid before him. He shall — Perish in his sin. Remembered — Shall not be profitable to him; "he that apostatizes is the worst of men, because he falls from known ways of goodness and holiness." |
Ezekiel 3:20
Again, When a (i) righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a (k) stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his (l) righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
(i) If he that has been instructed in the right way turn back.
(k) I will give him up to a reprobate mind, (Romans 1:28).
(l) Which seemed to have been done in faith, and was not. |
