Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 14:22

22 ¶ Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.

In Ierusalem it self and in the Land.

Some that escape, for though none could prevail with God to prevent the emptying the City and the Land and cutting off the most, yet this was not to extend to the utter cutting off and destruction of all.

By the proud, cruel, and barbarous Conquerour bringing them in nakedness, chains, and in contempt more grievous then death it self.

Those naked, hunger starved, derided Captives through heats and colds, through sands and tedious travels shall come though with great regret to you, to Babylon whose condition they will either envy or wish it their own.

See them and consider and know.

What it hath brought them, how sinfully evil 'twas against God in their own Land and how miserably evil 'tis and must be with them in the Enemies Land.

Not rejoyce in your brethrens misery, but comforted in remembrance of the good hour you resolved to obey God, in yielding up to the Chaldeans, comforted in the sense of your state much better then theirs, and in the vindication of you from the black aspersions the false Prophets and their followers cast on you. And finally comforted in that your return at set time promised, shall in its time be as surely made good as you see the threats are made good, God will be as true in his Mercies as he hath been in his Judgments, this is matter of present affliction and grief, that of comfort and hope.
