EZEKIEL 18:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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?”
The exiles accuse God of being unfair in principle, claiming that His way is not fair or balanced in requiring such absolute personal accountability. The accusation reflects the communal assumptions about justice that God is addressing throughout the chapter: if justice is truly fair, why should individuals bear full responsibility rather than sharing punishment communally? This objection articulates the emotional difficulty of accepting individual accountability.
