Ezequiel 14:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:23

And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their
doings
Not that their sinful ways and doings would be comfortable to them, but either their acknowledgments of them, and repentance for them; or, seeing their dissolute manner of life, it would be a means of composing their minds, and making them easy under the providence; being now satisfied that God was just in bringing upon them all the evils he had, and that they were punished according to their deserts, and less than their sins deserved: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have
done in it, saith the Lord God;
that there was just reason for it; that he was sufficiently provoked to do it; and that it was necessary it should be done, for his own honour, and the good of others.

Ezequiel 14:23 In-Context

21 Pois assim diz o Senhor Deus: Quanto mais quando eu enviar contra Jerusalém os meus quatro juízos violentos, a espada, a fome, as bestas-feras e a peste, pura exterminar dela homens e animais?

22 Mas, se ainda restarem nela alguns sobreviventes que levem para fora filhos e filhas, quando eles saírem a ter convosco, vereis o seu caminho e os seus feitos, e ficareis consolados do mal que eu trouxe sobre Jerusalém, até de tudo o que trouxe sobre ela.

23 E sereis consolados, quando virdes o seu caminho e os seus feitos; e sabereis que não fiz sem razão tudo quanto nela tenho feito, diz o Senhor.
