Ezekiel 28:4Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

Recognize from the very nature of these works that it is not due to your own insight, but rather from My generous provision that you possess this craft and the wealth that accompanies it. For if I choose, I can swiftly strip you of all these possessions, allowing life’s experiences to be your tutor. Had you obtained these blessings through your own understanding, that same wisdom would prevent you from losing what you acquired. Yet when you find yourself lacking, when you have lost everything, dismiss foolish thoughts and understand that it was I who bestowed these gifts upon you and I who have reclaimed them. And since you did not acknowledge Me while enjoying these blessings, you will come to know Me in the moment of your loss.
