Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ezek 16:6
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Ezek 16:6 · Douay-Rheims
“And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.”
On this verse:
“when I passed by--as if a traveller. polluted in . . . blood--but PISCATOR, "ready to be trodden on." I said--In contrast to Israel's helplessness stands God's omnipotent word of grace which bids the outcast little one "live." in thy blood--Though thou wast foul with blood, I said, "Live" [GROTIUS]. "Live in thy blood," that is, Live, but live a life exposed to many deaths, as was the case in the beginnings of Israel's national existence, in order to magnify the grace of God [CALVIN]. The former view is preferable. Spiritually, till the sinner is made sensible of his abject helplessness, he will not appreciate the provisions of God's grace.”
