Ezechiel — Chapter 24
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.

Verse 6
When sinners are not amended by tribulation, God after they are parted from this world, punisheth them euerlastingly.
Verse 16
The suddaine death of nere freinds causeth more sorow, then if it were feared before: yet the Prophet was commanded not to shew sorow for the suddaine death of his wife, to signifie that the great calamitie of euerie one would take away the particular griefe for the losse of priuate freinds.
