James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 6:1-14

SECOND VISION OF GLORY Remember that in the first part of this book, chapters 1-24, we are dealing with prophecies before the siege of Jerusalem and foretelling its overthrow. The present lesson begins at Ezekiel 3:22 . (Compare v. 23 with Ezekiel 1:1 ; Ezekiel 1:24 with Ezekiel 2:2 ; and Acts 2:4 ; Acts 4:31 .) Verse 25 is to be taken figuratively. (Compare 2 Corinthians 6:11-12 .) The same is true of verse 26, which means that as Israel had rejected the words of the prophets hitherto, the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 6:1-14

The Character of God Ezekiel 6:0 , Ezekiel 7:0 In the sixth and seventh chapters there are two distinct prophecies, yet both are to be traced to the symbolism detailed so graphically in Ezekiel 5:0 . It is supposed that the prophecies in Ezekiel 6:0 , Ezekiel 7:0 were uttered, not immediately one after the other, but with such intervals of time as to allow each of them to make a distinct impression upon those to whom they were delivered; yet, on the other hand, it has been noted that the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 6:11-14

It should seem, from what is here said, that the Prophet was to enforce the truths he had to deliver, by action of body as well as expression of mind. Indeed, so solemn a subject might well be supposed to excite animation. Diblath or Diblathaim, as it is called in Numbers 33:46 was the wilderness Moses describes, Deuteronomy 8:15 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 6:11-14

11-14 It is our duty to be affected, not only with our own sins and sufferings, but to look with compassion upon the miseries wicked people bring upon themselves. Sin is a desolating thing; therefore, stand in awe, and sin not. If we know the worth of souls, and the danger to which unbelievers are exposed, we shall deem every sinner who takes refuge in Jesus from the wrath to come, an abundant recompence for all contempt or opposition we may meet with. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 6:8-14

The Fate of those who Remain v. 8. Yet will I leave a remnant, in the general destruction spoken of in the first part of the chapter, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations when ye shall be scattered through the countries, in the exile which had been threatened by various prophets. v. 9. And they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, realizing that He who brought this calamity upon them was Jehovah, the God... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 6:1-14

3. The Two Discourses of Rebuke (Ch. 6 and 7).Ezekiel 6:1. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying: Son of man, set 2thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them. And say, 3Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the brook-channels and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, cause a sword to come upon you, and I destroy your high places. 4And your altars are desolated, and your sun-pillars are... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 6:1-14

These signs were followed by denunciations growing naturally out of what they had taught. In general terms, the prophet first foretold the coming judgment of the sword against the whole land, and the consequent scattering of the people. It was distinctly declared that in this process of judgment Jehovah would preserve a remnant of those who would escape from the destruction of Jerusalem, and in whose mind the judgment would remain, producing repentance, and the conviction that the word of God... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 6:11-12

‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Smite with your hand and stamp with your foot, and say, ‘Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel’, for they will fall by the sword, by the famine and by pestilence. He who is far off will die of the pestilence, and he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die of the famine. Thus will I accomplish my fury on them.” ’ Clapping with the hands and stamping with the feet were signs of gladness and rejoicing... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 6:11-14

Ezekiel 6:11-2 Chronicles : . The prospect of the awful destruction of the idolaters by sword, famine, and pestilence, moves Ezekiel to give vent to his feelings in gestures of triumphant scorn; far from pitying his sinful fellow-countrymen in the hour of their sore distress, rather does he rejoice in Yahweh’ s victory over them. (For alas, Ezekiel 6:11, read ha!) And again comes the scornful reference to the impotent idols who could save neither the worshippers nor the sanctuaries nor the... read more
