Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

AMMON, MOAB, EDOM, AND PHILISTIAEzekiel 25:1-17THE next eight chapters (25-32) form an intermezzo in the Book of Ezekiel. They are inserted in this place with the obvious intention of separating the two sharply contrasted situations in which our prophet found himself before and after the siege of Jerusalem. The subject with which they deal is indeed an essential part of the prophet’s message to his time, but it is separate from the central interest of the narrative, which lies in the conflict... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

JUDGMENTS ON GENTILE NATIONS The prophet’s “dumbness” enjoined in the last chapter, was only towards his own people, and the interval was employed in messages touching the Gentiles. These nations might have many charges laid against them, but that which concerned a prophet of Israel chiefly was their treatment of that nation see this borne out by the text. Their ruin was to be utter in the end, while that of Israel was but temporary (Jeremiah 46:28 ). Seven nations are denounced, “the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-7

We have here the Lord reckoning with other sinful nations. And first with Ammon. This people had been a long enemy to Israel, and upon every occasion did all they could to distress them. 2 Samuel 12:26 etc. Here therefore the Lord begins to reckon with Ammon. And observe on what account it is done, namely, because they rejoiced in the transgression of Israel, and the Lord's displeasure with Israel. Aha Aha! so would we have it; is the language of all carnal men, when gracious souls transgress... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:7

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 25:1-11

In the eight chapters now following there are contained some of the mightiest prophecies of the Old Testament against the chief heathen nations of the time, all of whom had, at one time or another, opposed the people of God and hindered His good and gracious will concerning them. Against Ammon and Moab v. 1. The word of the Lord, now withheld from the Jews for a time, came again unto me, saying, v. 2. Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, the descendants of Lot's younger daughter... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 25:1-17

A–B. CHAPTERS 25–32_______THE TRANSITION FROM THE PROPHECY OF JUDGMENT TO THE PROPHECY OF COMPASSION, OR THE PROPHECIES AGAINST THE ADVERSARIES._______The prophecies against the heathen nations are put here into one collection, as is the case also in Jeremiah and Isaiah (Introd. pp. 10, 11). The common character of their contents admits of their standing thus together, whilst they are also distinguished from each other by occasional chronological notices. From Ezekiel 29:17, it is probable that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-17

The last division of the prophecy deals with the subject of the ultimate restoration of the chosen nation. It falls into three sections. The first has to do with the nations, the second with the nation, and the last describes the restored order. The prophecies concerning the nations fall into three groups. The fist pronounced the doom of four, the second the doom of two, and the third the doom of one. The doom of four dealt with Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Philistia. The children of Ammon had... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-7

The Oracle Against Ammon (Ezekiel 25:1-7 ). The Ammonites, while possibly having been joined with Judah and others in an anti-Babylon alliance, were permanent enemies of Israel/Judah (see Judges 3:13; Judges 10-11; 1 Samuel 11:0; 2 Samuel 10:0; 2 Kings 24:2; 2 Chronicles 20:0; Amos 1:13; Zephaniah 2:8-9). They were excluded from becoming Israelites by adoption for ‘ten generations’ (Deuteronomy 23:3). That they were part of an alliance with Jerusalem is suggested by Ezekiel 21:18-22. But that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:6-7

‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel, therefore behold I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations, and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from among the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ The charge is extended to the fact that they had not only said the... read more
