Ezekiel 6:10

They shall know; see, acknowledge, and believe it too. The Lord; the only one whom they should worship or depend on, who can claim their hearts, their fear, love, and trust, as rightfully due; just in my ways, true both to threats and promises. In vain; either,

1. Without cause; the sufferers gave him just cause to pronounce all that evil. Or,

2. Without effect, and to no purpose; I told them that the evils I would bring should make them know that I am the Lord, and these sufferers at last find this effect wrought in them. Their sins were the cause, and their instruction is the effects of their sufferings.
