Ezekiel20:8

Ver. 8. But they rebelled againſt me] I might ſay what I would, but they would do what their liſt. Good they were ever (if I may call it ſo) at reſiſting the Holy Ghoſt; obſtinate idolaters from the very firſt: ſo that God had even as much ado to forbear killing them, as ever he had Moſes in the ſame country for neglecting to circumciſe his childe, Exod. 4.24.

Neither did they forſake the idols of Egypt] This we read not of in Exodus neither: tis enough that we have it here. The ingratitude of theſe Iſraelites was the greater, becauſe God had done much for them, and was dayly admoniſhing them of better things.

Then ſaid I, I will pour out my fury] It was not therefore for nothing that Iſrael ſuffered ſo much in Egypt. Many now marvel at their own miſeries, but think not of their ſins, the cauſe.
