Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

AMMON, MOAB, EDOM, AND PHILISTIAEzekiel 25:1-17THE next eight chapters (25-32) form an intermezzo in the Book of Ezekiel. They are inserted in this place with the obvious intention of separating the two sharply contrasted situations in which our prophet found himself before and after the siege of Jerusalem.

Their ruin was to be utter in the end, while that of Israel was but temporary (Jeremiah 46:28 ). Seven nations are denounced, “the... read more

And observe on what account it is done, namely, because they rejoiced in the transgression of Israel, and the Lord's displeasure with Israel. Aha Aha! so would we have it; is the language of all carnal men, when gracious souls transgress... read more
