Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 18:25

"Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?" — Ezekiel 18:25 (ASV)

The way of the Lord is not equal. —The word means literally, weighed out, balanced. The accusation of the Israelites was still (here and in Ezekiel 18:29) that the Lord was arbitrary and unjust.

His statement in reply is that He rewards and punishes according to eternal and immutable principles of right. Every man must reap that which he has sown. (Compare to Romans 2:5-10.)
