エゼキエル書 21:12-13 JC

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 21:8-17

The second word of judgment: the glittering and destroying sword. The passage may be called the “Lay of the Sword;” it is written in the form of Hebrew poetry, with its characteristic parallelism.Ezekiel 21:10It contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree - The rod is the scepter of dominion, assigned to Judah Genesis 49:10. The destroying sword of Babylon despises the scepter of Judah; it despises every tree. Others render the verse, “Shall we make mirth” (saying), “the rod of my son,” (the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:1-17

Babylon’s terrifying attack (20:45-21:17)The usual way to travel from Babylon to Jerusalem was by a semi-circular route that avoided the Arabian desert by following the Euphrates River to the north-west then turning south towards Judah. (See map ‘Near East in the time of Jeremiah.) Ezekiel put himself in the position of the Babylonian army as it moved south into Judah, overrunning and destroying the country as an uncontrollable bushfire. None would escape its terror (45-48). But the people did... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 21:13

Ezekiel 21:13. Because it is a trial— Because [this sword] hath been approved, and the sceptre when it shall not spare it shall be no more, saith the Lord God. God foretels that the sceptre of Israel shall be no more, after the sword of Nebuchadrezzar had smitten it; as it had happened before, when, Jeconiah being driven out, Zedekiah was appointed king. The sceptre here means only the royal sceptre in the house of David, and not that supreme authority which Jacob foretold should not forsake... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 21:13

13. it is a trial—rather, "There is a trial" being made: the sword of the Lord will subject all to the ordeal. "What, then, if it contemn even the rod" (scepter of Judah)? Compare as to a similar scourge of unsparing trial, Job 9:23. it shall be no more—the scepter, that is, the state, must necessarily then come to an end. Fulfilled in part at the overthrow of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar, but fully at the time of "Shiloh's" (Messiah's) coming (Job 9:23- :), when Judea became a Roman province. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 21:12-13

Ezekiel was therefore to cry out and slap his thigh in great despair because this judgment was coming on the people and officials of Judah (cf. Jeremiah 31:19). The leaders would die with the rest of the people. This cutting off of Israel’s leadership was a cause for even greater sorrow than the destruction of the ordinary Israelites. This would really test the nation. The Judahites should not despise the rod that the Lord would use to judge them; they should not think that Nebuchadnezzar... read more
