에스겔 14:15-16 KRV

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:15

"If I cause evil beasts to pass through a land, and they ravage it, and make it desolate, so that no man pass through because of the beasts; though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate. Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off from it man and beast; though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 14:15

15-21. The argument is cumulative. He first puts the case of the land sinning so as to fall under the judgment of a famine ( :-); then (Ezekiel 14:15) "noisome beasts" (Ezekiel 14:15- :); then "the sword"; then, worst of all, "pestilence." The three most righteous of men should deliver only themselves in these several four cases. In Ezekiel 14:15- : he concentrates the whole in one mass of condemnation. If Noah, Daniel, Job, could not deliver the land, when deserving only one judgment, "how... read more

5. The need of personal righteousness for deliverance 14:12-23This prophecy continues the emphasis on judgment from the previous one and stresses the irrevocability of Jerusalem’s destruction (cf. Jeremiah 7:16; Jeremiah 15:1-4). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 14:15-16

If God’s judgment by wild beasts resulted in the depopulation of the land, including the children (cf. Leviticus 26:22; Deuteronomy 32:24), the righteousness of Noah (cf. Genesis 6:9), Daniel (cf. Daniel 6:4-5; Daniel 6:22), and Job (cf. Job 1:1; Job 1:8; Job 2:3) would not deliver even their own family members from divine judgment. God would spare just these men alone. God had spared Noah’s family for his sake (Genesis 6:18), and he had spared Daniel’s friends for his sake (Daniel 1:6-20;... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:1-23

§ 4. Further Prophecies of Israel's Guilt and approaching Punishment (Ezekiel 12-19)This is a somewhat miscellaneous group of prophecies intermediate in date between the preceding (August-September, 591 b.c.) and succeeding (July-August, 590 b.c.) sections. It includes fresh symbols of exile, flight, and famine (Eze 12:1-20), a doctrine of prophecy, true and false (Eze 12:21 to Eze 14:11), an explanation of God's exceptional treatment of Jerusalem in sparing a remnant (Eze 14:12-23), Ezekiel's... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:12-23

A Divine Principle and an apparent ExceptionAs a rule when God punishes a land for its wickedness by such judgments as famine, wild beasts, sword, or pestilence, the presence in it of the most eminently righteous men will not save the wicked, not even the members of their own families. They will only escape themselves. Jerusalem will be a seeming exception to this principle, since a remnant of its wicked sons and daughters will be spared when the city is taken, and will escape into exile. But... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 14:15-20

(15-20) In these verses the same declaration is repeated, for the sake of emphasis, with each one of three other instruments of punishment, with only such variations of phraseology as are required for rhetorical reasons. The phrase “their own souls” is here also simply equivalent to “themselves.” The judgments mentioned are all taken from the warnings in Leviticus 26:0, the famine from Leviticus 26:26, the wild beasts from Leviticus 26:22, the sword and also the pestilence from Leviticus 26:25. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 14:1-23

Ezekiel 14:3 'Sin,'says Baxter ( Saints' Rest, chap. viii.), 'obscures that which it destroys not; for it bears such sway, that grace is not in action. It puts out or dims the eye of the soul, and stupefies it, that it can neither see nor feel its own condition. But especially it provokes God to withdraw Himself, His comforts, and the assistance of His spirit. As long as thou dost cherish thy pride, thy love of the world, the desires of the flesh, or any unchristian practice, thou expectest... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 14:1-23

Ezekiel 14:1-23 . These inquiring elders, with wickedness in their hearts, give another illustration of the depth of degradation in which the people had sunk. He who searches the hearts knew what was in them. They came with pious, religious pretensions. It sounded well to inquire of the Lord and seek the prophet-priest for that purpose. Their hearts were full of evil. While their lips spoke of asking the Lord, their hearts were full of idolatry. They liked idolatry. Their hearts were in it and... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 14:1-23

DISTRIBUTING THE RESPONSIBILITY While these visions and prophecies may be new as to the particular occasions for them, yet they are in substance the same as the preceding. “THE PRINCE IN JERUSALEM” (Ezekiel 12:1-16 ) In chapter 10 we had a vision of the judgment upon the city of Jerusalem, in chapter 11, upon the princes, and in this upon the king himself (v. 10). The explanation of the action commanded the prophet in Ezekiel 12:1-7 is given in Ezekiel 12:8-16 . It is thought that this was... read more
