エゼキエル書 25:2-7 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-7

Malignity. The prophet, having been enjoined to silence for a season with regard to Israel, turns to the several heathen nations by which his countrymen were encompassed. His mission to them must have been one very painful to discharge; for he was called upon to rebuke their sins and to denounce against them the anger of an omniscient and righteous Ruler. Between Ammon and Israel there was ancient feud. But the day of Ammon's judgment was now at hand. I. THE NATURE OF MALIGNITY ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-7

The sin and judgment of the Ammonites. "The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites," etc. For a time the mouth of Ezekiel was closed in relation to his own countrymen; he was to be to them as a dumb man, or at least dumb as a prophet ( Ezekiel 24:27 ). But having already proclaimed the judgment of God upon Israel and Judah by various figures and with much reiteration, he proceeds to declare that judgment against the neighboring heathen... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

A prophet's work was hardly complete without such a survey of the Divine order of the world so far as it came within the horizon of his thoughts; and Ezekiel had before him the example of like groups of prophecies addressed to the heathen nations with which Israel was brought into contact, in Isaiah 13-23. and Jeremiah 46-51. It was natural that the two contemporary prophets should be led to address their messages to the same nations, and so we find Ezekiel's seven named together with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

The tribunal of nations. The Hebrews in captivity might, with probability, suppose that, since God had employed other armies to chastise Israel, such nations were without sin, or else their sins had been condoned by God. Nothing of the sort. God is no Respecter of nations. Righteousness everywhere is acceptable to him. Unrighteousness anywhere is offensive. And touching the degrees of iniquity, he claims to be Supreme Judge and the wise Punisher. Because he employs men in his service, he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:2

Set thy face against the Ammonites . The main facts that are essential to a right understanding of the message to this people, not to speak of their long-standing enmity against Israel for many centuries, are read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:2-7

The scoffing nation. The first nation selected for denunciation is the Ammonite, situated on the east of the Jordan and to the north of Moab, with its further border towards the Syrian desert. Its scoffing at the sacred things of the Jews, and its cruel mockery of their calamities, are to be followed by a dreadful destruction. Scoffing and mockery are dangerous practices for those who indulge in them. I. THE CRUEL SCOFFING . 1. An insult to religion . "Thou saidst, Aha!... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:4-5

The men of the east ; Hebrew, children of the east . The name is applied in Genesis 29:1 ; 1 Kings 4:30 ; Job 1:3 ; 6:3 , 6:33 ; 7:12 ; 8:10 , to the nomadic tribes, Midianites and others, which roamed to and fro in the wilderness east of Ammon and Moab, after the manner of the modem Bedouins, with their sheep and camels, and were looked upon as descendants of Ishmael. Palaces ; better, with the Revised Version, encampments, or tent-villages . The word is found, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:7

A spoil to the heathen . The noun for "spoil" is not found elsewhere, but probably means "food." The Hebrew Keri, i.e. its marginal reading, gives the same word as that rendered "spoil" in Ezekiel 27:5 . The meaning is substantially the same whichever word we choose. Ezekiel, it will be noticed, says nothing about the return of the Ammonites, but contemplates, as in Ezekiel 21:32 , entire destruction. The moaning of Rabbah ("great" or "populous"), the mother-city of Ammon, gives... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-7

It was a distinct part of scriptural prophecy to address pagan nations. In Isaiah Isa. 13–19, Jeremiah Jer. 46–51, and here Ezek. 25–32, one section is specially devoted to a collection of such prophecies. Every such prediction had the general purpose of exhibiting the conflict ever waging between the servants of God and the powers of the world, the struggle in which the Church of Christ has still to wrestle against her foes Ephesians 6:12, but in which she will surely prevail.It was a distinct... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 25:1-2

Ezekiel 25:1-2. The word of the Lord came again unto me Though Ezekiel had finished his testimony with respect to the destruction of Jerusalem, he must not be silent; there were divers nations bordering upon the land of Israel which he must prophesy against, as Isaiah and Jeremiah had done before him; and must proclaim God’s controversy with them, chiefly because of the injuries and indignities which they had done to the people of God in the day of their calamity. God’s resenting thus the... read more
