Ezekiel18:4
Ver. 4. Behold all ſouls are mine] So that to ſhew my Soveraignty, I may do with them as I ſee good. Howbeit, let me tell you, that I ſlay none but for his ſins. i. e. idque ipſi ſuâ injuſtitiâ evenit, non injuriâ meâ, the fault is meerly in himſelf; ſo little reaſon is there that you ſhoud be thus quarrelſom and contumelious againſt me.
The ſoul that ſinneth it ſhall dye] i. e. Shall ſuffer for his ſin either here, or hereafter, without repentance. Every man ſhall bear his own burden: every tub ſhall ſtand upon its own bottom; and every fox yield his own skin to the fleaer, as the Jews at this day proverbially can ſay.
