Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 25:15-17

Philistia makes up the last brought to judgment in this Chapter, for hatred to God's people; and not the least in the soreness of it. Reader! do not overlook the sweet consolations such reviews hold forth to the Lord's people, in that, while the Lord corrects his children as a father corrects them; and as proofs of his love, his displeasure is called forth to any, and to every enemy of his people as judgments, who take pleasure in the sorrows of his redeemed, and thwart them with reproaches... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 25:17

REFLECTIONS READER! I pray you do not hastily pass away from the perusal of this interesting Chapter. See! how the Lord takes notice of his people, even in those seasons, when for their backslidings, one might be prompted to fear the Lord took no part with them. Israel was at this time under chastisement, yea, heavy affliction. But will their enemies insult them in their misery? Will they rejoice when Israel profanes the Lord's sanctuary: or feel glad when Israel's land lays desolate, and the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:8-17

8-17 Though one event seem to the righteous and wicked, it is vastly different. Those who glory in any other defence and protection than the Divine power, providence, and promise, will, sooner or later, be ashamed of their glorying. Those who will not leave it to God to take vengeance for them, may expect that he will take vengeance on them. The equity of the Lord's judgments is to be observed, when he not only avenges injuries upon those that did them, but by those against whom they were done.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 25:12-17

Against Idumea and Philistia v. 12. Thus saith the Lord God, Because that Edom, whose people were direct descendants of Jacob's brother Esau, hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, or, "by exercising vindictive revenge," and hath greatly offended, heaping guilt upon itself, and revenged himself upon them, still smarting under the feeling of having been cheated of the right of the first-born, Cf Genesis 27:41, v. 13. therefore thus saith the Lord God, I will also stretch... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:15-17

‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Because the Philistine have dealt by revenge, and have taken revenge with heartfelt malice to destroy it with perpetual enmity, therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. And I will execute vengeance on them with severe rebukes, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I will lay my vengeance on them.” ’ The oracle is short and to the point.... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 25:17

This verse is a confirmation of all spoken against the Philistines, and is in all the particulars explained in what went before. Vengeance; great for measure, and many for number, vengeances, as the Hebrew. With furious rebukes; in fierceness of anger, and without pity. They, as other stupid nations, will not see till they feel, and then they shall confess it is the hand of an angry, but just, and mighty God. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

PREDICTIONS OF JUDGMENTS UPON THE AMMONITES, MOABITES, EDOMITES, AND PHILISTINES. (Chap. 25)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—In chs. 25–32, we come to a new group of prophecies. They are predictions of judgment upon the heathen nations.“While the prophet’s mouth was to be mute to Israel, the Lord directed him to speak against the heathen nations, and to foretell to them the judgment of destruction, that they might not be lifted up by the fall of the people and kingdom of God, but might recognise in the... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

Chapter 25Now beginning with chapter 25, God begins to pronounce His judgment upon the surrounding nations of Israel. And the first, of course, that of the Ammonites. We have today the city of Ammon, which comes from Ammonites, and the city of Ammon is the capitol of Jordan. And so the Ammonites and the Moabites who are going to be reviewed here for judgment are modern-day Moab. When we get to Edom, you are moving down to the southern part--or modern-day Jordan-when you move down into Edom, you... read more
