エゼキエル書 35:11-13 JCB

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 35:11-13

Therefore, the sovereign Lord swore again (cf. Ezekiel 35:6), He would deal with them with the same anger, envy, and hatred that they had demonstrated toward the Israelites (cf. Ezekiel 36:5-6). People would know that He had done this when He judged them. This would teach them that the Lord had heard the hateful words that the Edomites had spoken against "the mountains of Israel" (cf. Ezekiel 35:2-3; Ezekiel 35:7; Ezekiel 35:15; Ezekiel 36:1; Ezekiel 36:4; Ezekiel 36:8). By speaking against the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 35:12

(12) Blasphemies.—Rather, reproaches. These indeed became, under the circumstances, constructively blasphemies against God; but it is better not to push the meaning further than was intended. read more

Ezekiel 35:5-6 See Dickens's description of France, in the first chapter of The Tale of Two Cities: 'Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she entertained herself with such humane achievements as sentencing a youth to have his hands cut off, his tongue torn out with pincers, and his body burned alive, because he had not kneeled down in the rain to do honour to a dirty procession of monks which passed within his view, at a distance of some fifty or sixty yards. It is likely enough that,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

JEHOVAH’S LANDEzekiel 35:1-15; Ezekiel 36:1-38THE teaching of this important passage turns on certain ideas regarding the land of Canaan which enter very deeply into the religion of Israel. These ideas are no doubt familiar in a general way to all thoughtful readers of the Old Testament; but their full import is scarcely realised until we understand that they are not peculiar to the Bible, but form part of the stock of religious conceptions common to Israel and its heathen neighbours. In the... read more

CHAPTERS 35-36 Judgment Announced and Israel’s Final Restoration Promised 1. The message against Mount Seir and Idumea (Ezekiel 35:1-15 ) 2. The message of comfort to Israel (Ezekiel 36:1-38 ) Ezekiel 35:1-15 . This is another judgment message, which is closely related to the coming restoration of Israel. When the Lord is merciful to His people and bestows upon them the promised blessings, He will also deal with their enemies in judgment. Edom was the most bitter enemy of Israel, their... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 35:11

35:11 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thy {g} anger, and according to thy envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among {h} them, when I have judged thee.(g) As you have done cruelly, so will you be cruelly handled.(h) Showing that when God punishes the enemies, the godly ought to consider that he has a care over them and so praise his name: and also that the wicked rage as though there were no God, till they... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

BROKEN SILENCE Ezekiel’s commission to his own countrymen is now renewed (Ezekiel 33:21-22 ), and evidences a new tone. “Heretofore his functions had been chiefly threatening, but now the evil having reached its worst in the overthrow of Jerusalem, the consolatory element preponderates.” (See Ezekiel 22:11 .) Ezekiel 33:23-29 of the same chapter, have reference to the handful left in Jerusalem after the siege, the best commentary on which is Jeremiah 40-42.Ezekiel 33:30; Ezekiel 33:30 to the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Mount Seir Ezekiel 35:0 , Ezekiel 36:0 Mount Seir represents Edom; Edom represents Esau. Idumea and Edom, found in this chapter, are one and the same, to all practical intents. Edom was the enemy of Israel: the record of their associations is a record of hatred and blood. We have in the third verse what may be termed the severe aspect of God. Behold the goodness and the severity of God! We would gladly curtain off the frowning countenance, and ignore it, and say, God is love; his mercy... read more
