Ezekiel 14:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:18

Though these three men [were] in it
Before mentioned: [as] I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor
daughters:
believe me no more, or be it so and so, if they do; it is in the form of an oath, and in the same manner it is expressed in ( Ezekiel 14:16 Ezekiel 14:20 ) ; but they only shall be delivered themselves;
their own souls or lives, and by their righteousness, as in ( Ezekiel 14:14 ) .
