Ezekiel2:3
Ver. 3. I ſend thee to the children of Iſrael] So they will needs call themſelves: But what ſaith God, Mic. 2.7. O thou that art named the houſe of Jacob, is the Spirit of the Lord ſtraitened? are theſe his doings? See the Notes there.
To a rebellious nation] Heb. Gentiles: ſo the Jews call us Chriſtians in ſcorn:The Jews call the Turkes Iſhmaelites, the Ethiopians Cuſhites, but Chriſtians that call Gojim an abominable Nation, and Mamzer-goll, a baſtard people. ſo God calleth them here in great contempt, a rebellious nation (See Amos 9.7.) Gentes Apoſtatrices, as the Vulgar here hath it.
They and their fathers have tranſgreſſed againſt me] A ſerpentine ſeed they are, a race of rebels, neither good egg nor bird, but Mali corvi mala ova.
Even unto this very day] being nothing bettered by all that they have ſuffered: See Jer. 16.13. Iſa. 1.5.
