Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ezek 18:3

“As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel.”

“ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb--because I will let it be seen by the whole world in the very fact that you are not righteous, as ye fancy yourselves, but wicked, and that you suffer only the just penalty of your guilt; while the elect righteous remnant alone escapes.”
