John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:11

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord ,.... An oath, as before in Ezekiel 35:6 , I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them : as thou hast been angry with them, and hated them, and done mischief to them, so will I be angry with thee, and hate thee, and inflict punishment on thee; I will retaliate all the anger, envy, and hatred showed unto my people, and punish thee according to thy just demerits. So the Romish... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:12

And thou shall know that I am the Lord ,.... By the judgments executed upon Edom, and so upon antichrist; for God is known by the judgments he executes, both by good and bad men, Psalm 9:16 , and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel ; the people of Israel and Judah literally, and the churches and people of God figuratively: so antichrist is said to open his mouth in blasphemies, and to blaspheme the tabernacle of God, and them... read more

Thus saith the Lord God, when the whole earth rejoiceth ,.... When it shall go well with the world in general, and the inhabitants of it; when they shall enjoy great peace and prosperity. Jarchi has a very good note upon this clause, "when I shall take my kingdom; for then the earth will rejoice, as it is said, the Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;' so when Christ takes to himself his great power, and reigns, his church and people will rejoice, Revelation 11:16 , as well as at the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:5

A perpetual hatred - The Edomites were the descendants of Esau; the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob. Both these were brothers; and between them there was contention even in the womb, and they lived generally in a state of enmity. Their descendants kept up the ancient feud: but the Edomites were implacable; they had not only a rooted but perpetual enmity to the Israelites, harassing and distressing them by all possible means; and they seized the opportunity, when the Israelites were most... 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
