126. Chapter 3 [Ezekiel] 1-3 He should be instructed in the Word, which in itself is delightful. 2 4-7 He should teach those that have the Word, and consequently are able to live according to the Divine commandments, but they do not so live; while with others it would be otherwise. 2, 11 8, 9 He should not fear their obduracy, 2 10, 11 but should teach them. 2 12, 13 It is perceived that the state of the church has been changed entirely in respect to the Word and doctrine from the Word. 2 14, 15 He was indignant that it should be so. 2 16, 17 But that He might represent the Word, 2 18-21 he would be guilty if He did not reveal their falsities and evils, and not guilty if He did reveal them. 2 22, 23 It is according to the sense of the letter, which He must explain. 2, 16 16 24-27 He must not speak from Himself, but from the Lord.
