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

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 35:1-15

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 35:1-15

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

James Gray

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

Joseph Parker

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 35:10-15

We shall enter into a due apprehension of what is here said, and also the interest the whole Church of Christ hath in it, if we read it as it ought to be read, spiritually; and the Lord the Holy Ghost be our teacher. It is truly blessed, in the conflicts of grace and corruption, to trace each to the original head; and while the children of God all feel, as that they do feel the remains of indwelling corruption in nature, which manifest their alliance to the old man; they no less feel the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:13

Derogated. Septuagint, "bawled;" or Hebrew, "multiplied your words against me," as if I could not protect my inheritance. (Haydock) --- You would pretend to judge me, and to fathom my designs. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:10-15

10-15 When we see the vanity of the world in the disappointments, losses, and crosses, which others meet with, instead of showing ourselves greedy of worldly things, we should sit more loose to them. In the multitude of words, not one is unknown to God; not the most idle word; and the most daring is not above his rebuke. In the destruction of the enemies of the church, God designs his own glory; and we may be sure that he will not come short of his design. And when the fulness of the Jews and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 35:10-15

Against the Covetousness of Edom v. 10. Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, namely, Israel and Judah, and we will possess it, although the inhabitants of Edom knew that Canaan was given for a possession to the children of Israel, whereas the Lord was there, Jehovah was the real Owner of the Land of Promise and held it in trust for His own children, v. 11. therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, rewarding... read more
