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

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 35:1-15

2. Against Edom, with respect to the Mountains of Israel, in consequence of Jehovah’s Sanctification of His own Name (Ch 35–36)1 Ch. 35 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 2Son of man, set thy face towards [against] the Mount [the mountain range of] Seir, and prophesy concerning 3[against] it; And say to it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I am against thee, Mount Seir, and I stretch out My hand over thee, and I 4make thee a waste and a desolation. Thy cities will I make ruins, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 35:1-15

The prophet next described the new order by contrasting Mount Seir with the mountains of Israel. Jehovah announced Himself as against Mount Seir, and as stretching out His hand in order to make it a desolation and an astonishment. The sin of Mount Seir had been perpetual and persistent enmity to the children of Israel, and that even in the time of their calamity. Therefore its judgment would be perpetual desolation. Mount Seir had lusted to possess the lands of Israel and Judah. And because of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:10-13

“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it’, whereas Yahweh was there. Therefore as I live says the Lord Yahweh, I will act in accordance with your anger, and in accordance with your envy which you have shown in your hatred against them, and I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. And you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Ezekiel 35 f. The Occupation of the Land.— Indispensable to the restoration of Israel is the possession of Canaan— Israel’ s land and Yahweh’ s land ( Ezekiel 35:10). Ezekiel 35 f. The Destruction of Edom.— The land had at the time been threatened, if not actually overrun, by the Edomites ( Ezekiel 35:2; Mount Seir=Edom), between whom and Israel there had been from time immemorial a persistent hereditary feud ( Ezekiel 35:5; cf. Genesis 27:40). Possibly the land, including the old northern... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 35:11

I will even do, deal with thee, O Mount Seir, according to thine anger; I will take my measures from thy using of Israel. Thou wast angry, and that very fiercely, in which anger thou didst smite: in fierce anger against thee I will smite thee. Thou thoughtest with an envious heart all Israel had was too good for him, and wouldst spoil him of all; and I know thee unworthy of all thou hast, and I will take it from thee. Thy hatred edged both thine anger and thine envy to extirpate and root them... read more
