Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 35:12

Thou didst reproach, scoff, and vilify my people, as if they had been the people of some deaf idol; but I will make thee know I am the Lord, who heard all thy blasphemies, and can, for I have punished them. Which thou hast spoken; not speaking this without insulting and rejoicing, as Tyre did, Ezekiel 26:0. Saying, Their God hath left them, either unable to rescue them, or changed in his kindness, and gone back from his word; or some such-like impious thoughts and discourses they had against... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 35:13

Though the very words be not reported, yet it is certain, from this passage, that they spake proudly against the God of Israel, boasting what they would do, will he nill be. And these blasphemous words or discourses were not once or twice, they multiplied them, it is probable, not much unlike the words of Sennacherib; but they shall smart for all this, and know it is for this, when God acts against them, who durst proudly speak against him. I have heard your words, you shall feel my sword. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Chapter 35Now in chapter 35 he makes a prophecy against Mount Seir. Mount Seir was the area inhabited by the Edomites. And the Edomites were descendents of Esau, the twin brother of Jacob. But the Edomites, you remember how Esau when Jacob stole the father's birthright by disguising himself as his brother Esau and went in and took the venison into his father, took the goat meat that his mother had prepared to taste like venison and took it in and fed his dad and got the blessing. And when Esau... read more

Ezekiel 35:8-15But ye . . . shall shoot forth your branches.The Divine benisonWhen does God give short measure? When did He give otherwise than pressed down, heaped up, running over? This is the consolation of heaven; this is the measure of the Divine benison.1. That blessing is to be physical: “Ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit.” God is not ashamed to have His name connected with the daily loaf and with the daily goblet of water. When we go to the harvest field we should... read more
