エゼキエル書 35:11-13 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:11-15

The Lord's identification of himself with Israel. A careless reader might possibly consider that a passage like this exemplifies prophetic partiality; that Ezekiel, because himself a Jew by birth and by sentiment, was disposed to represent the Supreme as upon his side and against his countrymen's enemies; that the view given of the Eternal is of a Ruler whose government is distinguished by favoritism. But further consideration will show that this is not the case. The cause of Israel was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:13

Boasting against God. Edom had ignored the presence of God ( Ezekiel 35:10 ). Now she has gone further, and boasted against God. This is a sign either of heathenish darkness that does not know God, or of willful rebellion that proudly rises up against him, or of both. I. THE BOAST OF IGNORANCE . Men who forget God boast themselves: 1. In thought . Man looks very big when God is left out of sight. The hill is a grand sight to one who has not seen an Alp. The worship of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 35:7-12

Ezekiel 35:7-12. Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate Hebrew, לשׁממה ושׁממה , a desolation and a desolation, or, a desolation and an astonishment, as Bishop Newton renders it, following the reading of several MSS. And cut off from it him that passeth out, &c. No travellers shall go forward or backward in it with safety: see the margin. And thy cities shall not return Thy cities shall not be restored to thee again. This was exactly fulfilled; for the Nabatheans having driven... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 35:13-15

Ezekiel 35:13-15. With your mouth ye have boasted against me As if I were not able to make good my promises toward my people, or to assert my right in Judea. When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate When I shall restore other countries, conquered by the king of Babylon, to their former prosperity, thou shalt still lie waste and desolate. The Edomites never recovered their country after the Nabatheans had expelled them out of it. Thou shalt be desolate, all Idumea The... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:13

"And ye have magnified yourself against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: when the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.""And have multiplied your words against me ..." (Ezekiel 35:13). The... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 35:12

12, 13. blasphemies . . . against . . . Israel . . . against me—God regards what is done against His people as done against Himself (Matthew 25:45; Acts 9:2; Acts 9:4; Acts 9:5). Edom implied, if he did not express it, in his taunts against Israel, that God had not sufficient power to protect His people. A type of the spirit of all the foes of God and His people (1 Samuel 2:3; Revelation 13:6). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 35:1-15

3. Preparation of the Promised Land 35:1-36:15"Each of the next four speeches elaborates an aspect of the peace covenant. Ezekiel 35:1 to Ezekiel 36:15 describes how the foreign plundering nations would be removed and judged in preparation for Israel’s return to her own land. The message in Ezekiel 36:16 to Ezekiel 37:14 provides a beautiful and descriptive account of God’s restoration of Israel to her land. Ezekiel 37:15-28 stresses the full reunion of the nation and the fulfillment of her... read more
