Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 14:5

5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

Convince and pe[illegible: 1 letter]rce their very hearts, or lay open what i[illegible: 1 letter] in their heart▪ and discover their hypocrisie, and impiety.

Have shamefully followed Idols, which now in their distress, neither know the cause, or can frame a remedy, and what folly is it to choose such Gods, what greater impiety then this to adhere to Idols and forsake God the onely true God and Saviour?

Minds that increase their aversness to God, Idolatry draws the man more and more from the Lord.
