mhcc @Ezekiel:25:1-7 . @ Verse 1-7 . - It is wicked to be glad at the calamities of any , especially of God 's people ; it is a sin for which he will surely reckon . God will make it appear that he is the God of Israel , though he suffers them for a time to be captives in Babylon . It is better to know Him , and to be poor , than to be rich and ignorant of him . * Verse 8-17 - Though one event seem to the righteous and wicked , it is vastly different . Those who glory in any other defence and protection than the Divine power , providence , and promise , will , sooner or later , be ashamed of their glorying . Those who will not leave it to God to take vengeance for them , may expect that he will take vengeance on them . The equity of the Lord 's judgments is to be observed , when he not only avenges injuries upon those that did them , but by those against whom they were done . Those who treasure up old hatred , and watch for the opportunity of manifesting it , are treasuring up for themselves wrath against the day of wrath . **** Matthew Henry 's Commentary ****
