Ezekiel 5:5-17

How often the Lord complains of his people in the Old Testament, that in their sins, they were more stupid and senseless than the idolatrous nations around them. Never was it known, that heathens changed their dung-hill gods for others: but the Lord's people changed their glory for that which could not profit them. Jeremiah 2:10. I appeal to the Reader, if so be he hath been taught of the Lord, and knows anything of the plague of his own heart, whether the same is not but too applicable to the people and Church of God in all ages. Unbelief in a child of God is more heinous, more offensive, than the infidelity of the unawakened. How pathetically the Lord seems to lament the degeneracy in his people, concerning himself. Psalms 81:11, etc.
