George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:7

Lord, and that it was not through impotence that my people became a prey. Ammon and Moab returned after some time, ver. 10., and chap. xvi. 53., and Jeremias xlix. 6. read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 25:1-11

In the eight chapters now following there are contained some of the mightiest prophecies of the Old Testament against the chief heathen nations of the time, all of whom had, at one time or another, opposed the people of God and hindered His good and gracious will concerning them. Against Ammon and Moab v. 1. The word of the Lord, now withheld from the Jews for a time, came again unto me, saying, v. 2. Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, the descendants of Lot's younger daughter... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 25:1-17

A–B. CHAPTERS 25–32_______THE TRANSITION FROM THE PROPHECY OF JUDGMENT TO THE PROPHECY OF COMPASSION, OR THE PROPHECIES AGAINST THE ADVERSARIES._______The prophecies against the heathen nations are put here into one collection, as is the case also in Jeremiah and Isaiah (Introd. pp. 10, 11). The common character of their contents admits of their standing thus together, whilst they are also distinguished from each other by occasional chronological notices. From Ezekiel 29:17, it is probable that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-17

The last division of the prophecy deals with the subject of the ultimate restoration of the chosen nation. It falls into three sections. The first has to do with the nations, the second with the nation, and the last describes the restored order. The prophecies concerning the nations fall into three groups. The fist pronounced the doom of four, the second the doom of two, and the third the doom of one. The doom of four dealt with Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Philistia. The children of Ammon had... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-3

‘And the word of Yahweh came to me saying, “Son of man, set your face towards the children of Ammon and prophesy against them, and say to the children of Ammon, “Thus says the Lord Yahweh, because you said “Aha” against my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity.” ’ The opening phrase ‘the word of Yahweh came to me saying’ (compare Ezekiel 26:1; Ezekiel 27:1; Ezekiel 28:1; Ezekiel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:1-7

The Oracle Against Ammon (Ezekiel 25:1-7 ). The Ammonites, while possibly having been joined with Judah and others in an anti-Babylon alliance, were permanent enemies of Israel/Judah (see Judges 3:13; Judges 10-11; 1 Samuel 11:0; 2 Samuel 10:0; 2 Kings 24:2; 2 Chronicles 20:0; Amos 1:13; Zephaniah 2:8-9). They were excluded from becoming Israelites by adoption for ‘ten generations’ (Deuteronomy 23:3). That they were part of an alliance with Jerusalem is suggested by Ezekiel 21:18-22. But that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:4-5

“Therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk. And I will make Rabbah a pasturage for camels, and the children of Ammon a fold for flocks, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” Their punishment was to be that their country would be taken over by the very people whom they probably despised the most, the desert nomads, the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 25:6-7

‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel, therefore behold I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations, and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from among the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ The charge is extended to the fact that they had not only said the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 25:2

Set thy face against: the phrase you have Ezekiel 20:46. It includeth anger, menaces, and intention of mind. The Ammonites; the posterity of Lot by the younger daughter, near neighbours, but bitter enemies to the Jews. Prophesy against them; leave recorded what heavy things shall befall them in after-days. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 25:3

Say unto the Ammonites; either tell Ammonite merchants or travellers, of which some might likely be in Babylon for trade or to see its state; or else, send by letter to them of their nation who may serve in Nebuchadnezzar’s camp, which was in that time a school of arms, that they may tell others; or else, so plainly declare it that in time they may know this. Hear the word of the Lord God; it is not the ambiguous or delusive oracle of your idols, but the plain, and true, and unfailing word of... read more
