以西结书 5:17 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 5:5-17

We have here the explanation of the foregoing similitude: This is Jerusalem. Thus it is usual in scripture language to give the name of the thing signified to the sign; as when Christ said, This is my body. The prophet's head, which was to be shaved, signified Jerusalem, which by the judgments of God was now to be stripped of all its ornaments, to be emptied of all its inhabitants, and to be set naked and bare, to be shaved with a razor that is hired, Isa. 7:20. The head of one that was a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 5:17

So will I send upon you famine, and evil beasts ,.... Famine is repeated for the further confirmation of it; and "evil beasts" are added, by whom are meant, not the Chaldeans, comparable to such; but literally lions, wolves, hears, &c.; which are threatened the Jews, in case of disobedience, Leviticus 26:22 ; and which sometimes were sent, 2 Kings 17:24 ; and they shall bereave thee ; that is, of her children, whom the evil beasts should destroy; they not being able to defend... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 5:17

So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee - Wild beasts always multiply in depopulated countries. In England, wolves abounded when the country was thinly peopled, it is now full of inhabitants, and there is not one wolf in the land. Nebuchadnezzar and his Chaldeans may be called here evil beasts. He is often compared to a lion, Jeremiah 4:7 ; Daniel 7:14 ; on account of the ravages made by him and his Chaldean armies. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 5:17

Verse 17 Here God speaks generally concerning certain adversities — I will send evil upon them, he says, but immediately afterwards he adds the kind of evil, of which he had not yet spoken. Hence, under the name of evil he embraces all adversities, as if he had said that he intended to exact the penalty from the wicked, not in one or two ways only, but by those numberless troubles which surround us, and to which we are subject; so that there would be no bounds to his wrath, unless men should... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 5:5-17

Pre-eminent privilege, perversity, and punishment. "Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem," etc. In these and some succeeding verses we have the interpretation of the symbolism of the previous part of the chapter; or "an authoritative commentary on the preceding allegory." The text presents to our notice— I. A POSITION OF PRE - EMINENT PRIVILEGE . "Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 5:11-17

The Divine Remonstrator. It is clear as daylight that the root sin of the Jews was unbelief. Although the prophets of Jehovah brought incontestable evidence that they spake in God's Name, and spake only words of truth, the people closed their ears, and treated the warning with contempt. They were in love with sin, and were resolved not to part from it. Proofs that God spake through the lips of these prophets were abundant. I. THERE WAS THE REPEATED ASSERTION OF HONEST ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 5:17

Evil beasts , etc. These appear in like connection in Ezekiel's favourite textbooks (comp. Le Ezekiel 26:6 , 22; Deuteronomy 32:24 ). They reappear in Ezekiel 14:15 , Ezekiel 14:21 . Historically, we have an example of the suffering thus caused in the lions of 2 Kings 17:25 , when towns and villages were deserted, and the unburied carcases of those who had died by famine, or pestilence, or the sword, were everywhere to attract them from afar. This was, of course, the natural and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 5:15-17

Ezekiel 5:15-17. So it shall be an instruction to the nations They shall learn from such an example of vengeance to fear me, and be afraid of my judgments. When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine Hail, tempest, drought, mildew, locusts, all which contribute to make a famine. So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts Wild beasts multiply in a land when it becomes uninhabited, Exodus 23:29. This likewise is a punishment which, among others, was threatened against the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 5:1-17

Jerusalem destroyed (5:1-17)The last of this group of four acted parables was again concerned with the siege of Jerusalem. It dealt more specifically with the dreadful fate that awaited the citizens.Ezekiel shaved his hair, weighed it, then divided it into three equal parts. One part he burnt on his model city (the brick), symbolizing the death of one third of the city’s people through famine and disease. The second part he scattered around the model city, then chopped up the hair with a sword,... read more
