에스겔 21:29 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 21:28-32

The prediction of the destruction of the Ammonites, which was effected by Nebuchadnezzar about five years after the destruction of Jerusalem, seems to come in here upon occasion of the king of Babylon's diverting his design against Rabbath, when he turned it upon Jerusalem. Upon this the Ammonites grew very insolent, and triumphed over Jerusalem; but the prophet must let them know that forbearance is no acquittance; the reprieve is not a pardon; their day also is at hand; their turn comes... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:29

Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee ,.... The Ammonites had their seers, soothsayers, diviners, and false prophets, which they are bid to be aware of, and are cautioned against hearkening to, Jeremiah 27:3 , these told them they were in the utmost safety, and that the king of Babylon would not come against them; or, if he did, would not succeed, when his sword was drawn and furbished for the destruction of them: to bring thee upon the necks of the slain,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 21:18-32

The impartiality of Divine justice. Very picturesque and memorable is this portion of Ezekiel's prophecies. The prophet in his vision beholds the King of Babylon on his way to execute the purposes of God upon the rebellious and treacherous prince of Judah, and upon his partakers in sin. He sees him at some point of this expedition, standing on the northeast of Palestine, uncertain whether in the first instance to direct his arms against Rabbath, the capitol of the Ammonites, or Jerusalem,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 21:28-32

The judgment of Ammon. "And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God concerning the children of Ammon," etc. The following points are presented to our notice. I. THE CAUSE OF THIS JUDGMENT . This was threefold. 1 . They had provoked the anger of the Chaldeans by joining the coalition against them . (Cf. Ezekiel 21:20 ; Jeremiah 27:2-10 .) 2 . They had cast bitter reproaches upon the Jews . "Thus saith the Lord God concerning the children... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 21:29

Whiles they see, etc. The words may possibly refer to Nebuchadnezzar's diviners in Ezekiel 21:21 , but more probably to those whom the Ammonites themselves consulted. The pronoun "thee" in both clauses refers to Ammon. The result of those who divined falsely was that the sword would be drawn against the necks of the Ammonites and threw them upon the heap of the slaughtered ones. For them, as in the words that end the verse, reproducing those of Ezekiel 21:25 , punishment is decreed,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 21:18-32

The third word of judgment. The king of Babylon’s march upon Judaea and upon the Ammonites. Destruction is to go forth not on Judah only, but also on such neighboring tribes as the Ammonites (compare Jeremiah 27:2-3).Ezekiel 21:19Appoint thee - Set before thee.Choose thou a place, choose it - Rather, “mark a spot, mark it,” as upon a map, at the head of the two roads, one leading to Jerusalem, the other to Ammon. These were the two roads by one or other of which an invading army must march from... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 21:28-29

Ezekiel 21:28-29. Thus saith the Lord concerning the Ammonites Because the Ammonites were reprieved by Nebuchadnezzar’s decision to besiege Jerusalem, they were ready to promise themselves security, and to insult over the calamities brought on the Jews; a practice for which they are often reproved very severely by the prophets, and threatened with the like judgments. And concerning their reproach Wherewith they reproached Israel in the day of Israel’s afflictions; say thou, The sword is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:18-32

No possibility of escape (21:18-32)In another acted message, the prophet drew a map on the ground, showing a road out of Babylon that branched in two directions. One led to Jerusalem, the other to Rabbah, capital of Ammon. By means of markings on the map, Ezekiel indicated that the king of Babylon had arrived at the road junction and was trying to decide whether to go and attack Rabbah or go and besiege Jerusalem. The king used three superstitious methods to determine which way to go: drawing... read more
