에스겔 21:14-32 KRV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:31

And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee ,.... Like a mighty flood, which should sweep them away for their sins and transgressions; and particularly for their reproaches of God and his people, which caused his indignation to rise, and him to pour it out upon them in such a manner: I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath ; as men put metal into a furnace, and then blow upon it, in order to melt it, and consume the dross; and which fire, so blown, is exceeding fierce and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:32

Thou shalt be for fuel for the fire ,.... Easily consumed, as briers and thorns cast into a furnace; such are wicked men to the fire of God's wrath: thy blood shall be in the midst of the land ; such large numbers shall be slain everywhere, that the land shall flow with the blood of them; who shall lie unburied, and rot, and putrefy upon the ground: thou shalt be no more remembered ; but lie in everlasting oblivion, as they do to this day; the name of an Ammonite being nowhere... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:14

Let the sword be doubled the third time - The sword has been doubled, and it shall come the third time. Nebuchadnezzar came against Judea Thrice. Against Jehoiakim. Against Jeconiah. Against Zedekiah. The sword had already been doubled; it is to come now the third time, i.e., against Zedekiah. The sword of the slain - חללים חרב chereb chalalim , "the sword of the soldiers," of the Chaldeans. So in the next clause, הגדול חלל חרב היא hi chereb chalal haggadol , "it is the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:19

Appoint thee two ways - Set off from Babylon, and lay down two ways, either of which thou mayest take; that to the right, which leads to Jerusalem; or that to the left which leads to Rabbath of the Ammonites, Ezekiel 21:20 . But why against the Ammonites? Because both they and the Moabites were united with Zedekiah against the Chaldeans, (see Jeremiah 27:3 ;), though they afterwards fought against Judea, Ezekiel 12:6 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:21

For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way - He was in doubt which way he should first take; whether to humble the Ammonites by taking their metropolis, Riblath, or go at once against Jerusalem. In this case of uncertainty, he made use of divination. And this was of three kinds: 1. By arrows. 2. By images or talismans. 3. By inspecting the entrails of a sacrifice offered on the occasion. He made bright his arrows. This might be after the manner in which the divination is still... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:22

At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem - He had probably written on two arrows; one, Jerusalem; the other, Riblath; the third, left blank. He drew, and that on which Jerusalem was written came to his hand; in consequence of which he marched immediately against that city. It was ripe for destruction; and had he marched before or after, it would have fallen; but he never considered himself as sure of the conquest till now. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:23

To them that have sworn oaths - To Zedekiah and his ministers, who had bound themselves by the oath of the Lord to be faithful to the Chaldeans, and to pay them the promised tribute. The oaths may refer, farther, to the alliances formed with the Egyptians, Ammonites, and others. They will not believe that Nebuchadnezzar shall succeed against them, while they expect the powerful assistance of the Egyptians. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:25

And thou profane wicked prince of Israel - Zedekiah, called here profane, because he had broken his oath; and wicked, because of his opposition to God and his prophet. Whose day is come - Who in a short time shalt be delivered into the hands of thy enemies. read more
