エゼキエル書 35:6 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-9

Mount Seir was mentioned as partner with Moab in one of the threatenings we had before (Ezek. 25:8); but here it is convicted and condemned by itself, and has woes of its own. The prophet must boldly set his face against Edom, and prophesy particularly against it; for the God of Israel has said, O Mount Seir! I am against thee. Note, Those that have God against them have the word of God against them, and the face of his ministers, nor dare they prophesy any good to them, but evil. The prophet... read more

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God ,.... The form of an oath; the Lord swears by himself, because he could swear by no greater; and which he never does but in matters of importance, and for the confirmation of them, as the following is: I will prepare thee unto blood ; prepare them for war, which will issue in slaughter and blood, such as the battle at Armageddon, Revelation 16:14 , or, "I will make thee blood" F23 לדם אעשך "in sanguinem redigam te", Munster; "in... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:6

Blood shall pursue thee - Thou lovest blood, and thou shalt have blood. It is said that Cyrus and two hundred thousand men were slain in an ambush by Thomyris, queen of the Scythians, and that she cut ok his head, and threw it into a vessel filled with blood, with this severe sarcasm: - Satia te sanguine quem sitisti, Cyre . "O Cyrus, now satisfy thyself with blood." Hence, the figure: - " Sarcasmus , with this biting taunt doth kill: Cyrus, thy thirst was blood, now drink thy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Special punishment of special sin. Very painful must it be to an intelligent spirit to be the executor of Jehovah's vengeance upon transgressors: the pain is only one remove the less to announce the coming doom. Yet, as we gain broader and clearer views of God's administration, we discover that the suffering of a few brings advantage to the many. The splendor and the rare excellence of God's righteousness are thereby clearly revealed. And gradually we perceive that pain and pleasure are... read more

Features to be found in penalty. When God is obliged to be "against" a man or a people, as he was against Edom ( Ezekiel 35:2 ), he (it) may look for these three things in the retribution which impends— I. AN INFLICTION ANSWERING IN CHARACTER TO THE SIN . "Because thou hast given over … to the power of the sword … therefore … I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee" ( Ezekiel 35:5 , Ezekiel 35:6 ). Our Lord also himself tells us that "they who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:5-6

Lex talionis. Ezekiel returns to his prophecy regarding the inhabitants of Mount Seir. These neighbors of the Israelites were animated by hostility to God's people which was of a peculiarly bitter character. The prophet's mind was deeply affected and sorely pained by the language and the actions of these enemies of Israel. This probably accounts for his reverting to his inspired threats of adversity and even destruction about to overtake these bitter and blasphemous foes of Israel and of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:6

I will prepare thee unto blood . This peculiar expression was probably selected because of the suggestion of the name Edom ("red") contained in the term dam ("blood")—though Smend doubts this—and designed to intimate that Edom's name would eventually be verified in Edom's fate. And blood shall pursue thee . "As blood-guiltiness invariably pursues a murderer, cries for vengeance, and delivers him up to punishment" (Havernick), so should blood follow in the steps of Edom. The translation... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 35:1-6

Ezekiel 35:1-6. Moreover, the word of the Lord, &c. “The prophet goes on to show, that the same reason which would operate in favour of the Jews, would not operate in favour of the heathen; especially not in favour of the Jews’ relations, the Edomites: for they showed no mercy, and therefore deserved to receive none; and, because they had perpetual hatred, they were to be made a perpetual desolation.” Obs. on Books. Set thy face against mount Seir Mount Seir is the same with Idumea:... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Edom punished (35:1-15)Since the Jews were to inherit their land again, any foreign nation that attempted to occupy that land for itself had to be overcome. One such nation was Edom, symbolized here by its distinctive landmark, Mt Seir (35:1-4). Edom had a long record of bitter hatred of Israel, and with wicked vindictiveness had gladly helped Babylon crush Jerusalem in 587 BC. Therefore, Edom itself will be crushed. It will suffer the slaughter it made Jerusalem suffer. Its people will be... read more
