John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 14:22

Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant ,.... That is, in Jerusalem, on which God's four sore judgments should be sent: though in a sinful land, as before described, where only one judgment was sent, there was no escape, not so much as a son or a daughter were delivered; yet here, where four sore judgments came together, there is a remnant that are saved; and which being wonderful, and beyond all expectation, is introduced with a "behold", not only as a note of attention, but of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:22

Behold, they shall come forth unto you - Though there shall be great desolations in the land of Judea, yet a remnant shall be left that shall come here also as captives; and their account of the abominations of the people shall prove to you with what propriety I have acted in abandoning them to such general destruction. This speech is addressed to those who were already in captivity; i.e., those who had been led to Babylon with their king Jeconiah. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:22

Verse 22 He now adds, there shall be a remnant in that escape. They explain this verse parenthetically, as if God by way of correction engaged to act more mercifully towards that city, than if he struck any land with only one scourge. They explain it thus: although these four scourges should meet together, yet I will mitigate the rigor of my vengeance, since some shall go out safely, and reach even to you. Almost all agree in this sense; but when I weigh the Prophet’s intention more accurately,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:12-23

Human atonement valueless. The hopeful among the Jews probably remembered that in times of former correction God had yielded, in some measure, to the intercessions of the saints. If they had not gained all that they asked, they had gained some advantage. Why might that not occur again? Might not God concede some of his demand? This was impossible, for the first necessity was that righteous government be maintained. No good can ever come to men by tampering with righteousness. I. SIN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:22

The words end with a gleam of hope shining through the judgments. For Ezekiel, as for Isaiah, there is the thought of a "remnant that shall return" ( Isaiah 10:20-22 ). It has been questioned whether "the ways and the doings" which are to bring comfort to men's minds are those of the evil past or of the subsequent repentance. I incline to the view that they include both. Men should see at once the severity and the goodness of Jehovah. His punishments had not been arbitrary nor excessive.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:22-23

The reasonableness of God's action. There is that in human nature to which religion appeals, and by which religion asks to be judged. Religion does indeed speak with authority, but the authority is that of wisdom and righteousness. Man's judgment and conscience approve the order of Divine providence, and the tenor of Divine revelation. More particularly, upon the suggestion of this passage, it should be remarked that— I. THE DEALINGS OF GOD INCLUDE BOTH JUDGMENT AND ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:22-23

The righteousness of God doubted and vindicated. "Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth," etc. Our text, as Fairbairn points out, "is addressed to the people already in exile, who are regarded as viewing the destruction about to be executed on Jerusalem with astonishment and some degree of dissatisfaction. The prophet tells such there would certainly be a remnant—not, however, in the proper sense, as if they were themselves deserving persons, or spared... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 14:12-23

Jeremiah 14:0; Jeremiah 15:0 is a remarkable parallel to this prophecy. Here, as elsewhere, Ezekiel is commissioned to deliver to the exiles the same message which Jeremiah conveys to the inhabitants of Judaea. The answer discovers the nature of the questions which had been expressed or implied.(1) Can God cast out a people who are holy unto Himself?(2) Is it just to punish them with utter desolation?The prophet answers:(1) That when a people is so corrupt as to call down national judgment,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 14:22-23

Ezekiel 14:22-23. Yet, behold, therein In Jerusalem itself, though marked for utter ruin; in Judea, though condemned to suffer unexampled desolations; shall be left a remnant That shall not be cut off by any of those sore judgments before mentioned, but shall escape and be brought forth into Chaldea, to be your companions in captivity; both sons and daughters That shall be the seed of a new generation. And ye shall see their ways and their doings “Ye shall be made sensible of their... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 14:12-23

Justice in punishing Jerusalem (14:12-23)Some were no doubt saying that God would not destroy Jerusalem as Ezekiel had been prophesying. God would surely spare the city out of consideration for the godly people within it, even though such godly people may have been few in number. Ezekiel replied that even if some of the godliest people who ever lived were in the city, God would still destroy it; though he would deliver the godly (12-14). God’s punishment could take various forms, but the same... read more
