以西結書 7:20 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 7:16-22

We have attended the fate of those that are cut off, and are now to attend the flight of those that have an opportunity of escaping the danger; some of them shall escape (Ezek. 7:16), but what the better? As good die once as, in a miserable life, die a thousand deaths, and escape only like Cain to be fugitives and vagabonds, and afraid of being slain by every one they meet; so shall these be. I. They shall have no comfort or satisfaction in their own minds, but be in continual anguish and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:20

As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty ,.... Or, "for pride" F9 לגאון "in superbiam", V. L. Calvin, Starckius. . The gold, silver, jewels, riches, and treasure, which the Lord gave to this people, they made a bad use of; and instead of contributing to the support of his worship and interest, and of giving liberally to the poor, they converted it to their own pride and luxury: or rather the temple, as Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it, is meant; which was a beautiful... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:20

As for the beauty of his ornament - Their beautiful temple was their highest ornament, and God made it majestic by his presence. But they have even taken its riches to make their idols, which they have brought into the very courts of the Lord's house; and therefore God hath set it - the temple, from him - given it up to pillage. Some say it means, "They took their ornaments, which were their pride, and made them into images to worship." read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:20

Verse 20 I doubt not that Ezekiel strengthens what he had just taught by other words, namely, that the people’s silver should be cast away, because it had been unworthily abused for luxury, vain pomps and superstitions. Some explain צבי עדיו, tzebi-gnediu, of the temple; and certainly I confess that the temple was the chief glory of the Jews, so that they might boast of it, if they had rightly and properly worshipped God there. Hence God conveyed great glory to the Jews when he desired a temple... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:16-22

Fallacious deliverance. Flight is not deliverance. If the invading army is God's army, no escape is possible, save in submission. We cannot elude God's detectives. Lonely mountains, no more than crowded cities, serve as an asylum, if God be our Foe. As we cannot get beyond the limits of his world, neither can we get beyond the reach of his sword. I. THEIR MISERY . They may escape, for a moment, sword wounds and bodily captivity; yet they have not escaped from inward distress and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:20

As for the beauty of his ornament. The latter word is commonly used of the necklaces, armlets, etc; of women ( Exodus 33:4-6 ; Isaiah 49:18 ; Jeremiah 2:32 ; Jeremiah 4:30 ). So again in Ezekiel 16:7 , Ezekiel 16:11 ; Ezekiel 23:40 . The singular is used of the people collectively, or of each man individually, like German man or French on . He set it in majesty; better, he— or to give the sense they—turned it to pride. Wealth and art had ministered, as in Isaiah 2:16 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 7:20-22

The perversion of desirable possessions punished by the deprivation of them. "As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it, in majesty," etc. In these words we discover— I. DESIRABLE POSSESSIONS SINFULLY PERVERTED . ( Ezekiel 7:22 .) This verse has been differently translated and interpreted. Hengstenberg renders it, "And his glorious ornament he has set for pride; and they made the images of their abominations and detestable idols of it: therefore have I laid it on them for... read more

Or, And “the beauty of his ornament, he” (the people) turned “it” to pride.Have I set it far from them - Rather, as in the margin - therefore have I made it their defilement and their disgrace. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 7:20-22

Ezekiel 7:20-22. As for the beauty of his ornament The temple and all that pertained to it, which was the beauty and glory of the Jewish nation, and accounted so by them; he set it in majesty God commanded that it should be a stately, beautiful, and magnificent structure; but they made the images of their abominations therein Set up their idols in his temple, and provoked him, their Maker and their husband, with their spiritual adulteries committed before his face; therefore have I set... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-27

The end is near (7:1-27)Many Jews thought that Jerusalem would never be conquered. Ezekiel announced with certainty that the city would fall. God had been longsuffering and merciful, and had saved the city many times, but the people stubbornly refused to repent. Now the time for God’s judgment had come (7:1-4). One disaster would follow another, till the wicked city was destroyed (5-9).As a tree blossoms, so Jerusalem’s sin was full-grown. The city was about to fall; rich and poor were about to... read more
