エゼキエル書 32:19 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

This prophecy concludes and completes the burden of Egypt, and leaves it and all its multitude in the pit of destruction. I. We are here invited to attend the funeral of that once flourishing kingdom, to lament its fall, and to take a view of those who attend it to the grave and accompany it in the grave. 1. This dead corpse of a kingdom is here brought to the grave. The prophet is ordered to cast them down to the pit (Ezek. 32:18), to foretel their destruction as one that had authority, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 32:19

Whom dost thou pass in beauty ?.... This question the prophet is bid to put to Egypt; what nation is there, or has been, that thou excellest in wisdom, in riches, or in strength, in the multitude of subjects, or extent of dominions, that thou thinkest thyself secure from destruction? look over other kingdoms and states mightier than thou, or at least equal to thee, and see how they are brought to ruin, and expect that this will quickly be thy case: go down, and be thou laid with the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 32:19

Whom dost thou pass in beauty? - How little does it signify, whether a mummy be well embalmed, wrapped round with rich stuff, and beautifully painted on the outside, or not. Go down into the tombs, examine the niches, and see whether one dead carcass be preferable to another. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

The gathering of the guilty nations in Hades. This vision of the poet-prophet is one of the boldest and most sublime in the whole compass of literature. As a lofty flight of imagination it excites the wonder and admiration of every reader gifted with poetical appreciation. Ezekiel is bringing to a close his prophecies regarding the nations by which the land of Israel was encompassed. How far from the narrowness and the lack of sympathy sometimes attributed to the Hebrews was the prophet of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

Companionship in woe. The prophet is a man of power. He is a king bearing an invisible scepter. As a monarch wields only a borrowed power—a power lent by God—so a true prophet is God's vicegerent. Here he unfolds a terrible vision, the outline of a woeful reality. He leads the Egyptian king to the mouth of a vast abyss, in which lie multitudes of the vanquished and the slain. He is invited to contemplate the condition of those thus dishonored by the King of Babylon. And he is forewarned... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:17-32

A vision of the unseen world. In this highly figurative prophetic utterance we have— I. THE PROPHET 'S VISION ITSELF . He sees Egypt taking her place, as a fallen power, amongst the departed in the nether world. Nothing could save her; there was no reason why she should not go down as other guilty powers had done, "Whom did she pass in beauty?" ( Ezekiel 32:19 ). No distinction could be made in her case; she must "go down and be laid with the uncircumcised" ( Ezekiel 32:19 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:18-30

The world of the dead. "The strong among the mighty" are the inhabitants of the under-world who once were kings and heroes on earth. Now those monarchs of the dead stir themselves as they see great Pharaoh coming to join their company, and prepare to give him a stately though a gloomy welcome. I. THERE IS A WORLD WHERE THE DEAD YET LIVE . This world only appeared to be a realm of shades and desolation to the Jews of Old Testament times. For those who have not the life... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 32:19

Whom dost thou pass in beauty ? The lamentation, as might be expected from Ezekiel's standpoint, is an illustration of irony and triumph rather than of sorrow. The question implies a negative answer. Glorious as Egypt had been, other nations had equaled her. They had passed away, and so should she. With the uncircumcised . The words, as in Ezekiel 31:18 , suggest the thought that Israel, so far as it was faithful to its calling, circumcised in heart as well as flesh ( Jeremiah 9:26 ),... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 32:19-20

Ezekiel 32:19-20. Whom dost thou pass in beauty? What reason hast thou to prefer thyself before others? Art thou better than they, that thou shouldest not die and be laid in the dust as well as they? Go down Namely, to the regions of the dead; and be laid with the uncircumcised Among profane and loathed carcasses, such as the bodies of the uncircumcised were in the opinion of the circumcised: see notes on Ezekiel 28:8-10; Ezekiel 31:18. The circumcised, in Scripture, being put for... read more
