John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:24
Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel ,.... The places which were laid waste by Nebuchadnezzar's army, going and returning, in and about Jerusalem, and in several parts of Judea; these were they that were left in the land after the destruction, to people and plant it; or who, having fled to distant parts, were now returned, and took possession of it, though it was in a wretched condition, a mere waste or desert; and yet they were lifted up with it, and proud and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:25
Wherefore say unto them, thus saith the Lord God ,.... Send them this message in writing, as from the Lord; for the prophet was now in Chaldea, and could not deliver it by word of mouth to those that inhabited the wastes of Israel; but he could tell it to the messenger that came to him, who had escaped from Jerusalem; or send it by him, or some other: ye eat with the blood ; or rather "upon", or "by" the "blood" F12 על הדם "super sanguinem", Munster, Montanus, Cocceius,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:26
You trust in it, and think to support yourselves by it, and secure your possession and right of it by that means. So the Targum, "you stand in your strength:' ye work abomination ; that which is abominable to God, and not fit to be named among men; Jarchi interprets it of sodomy: the word is in the feminine gender, and may be rendered, "ye women work abomination"; referring to that unnatural lust the apostle speaks of, Romans 1:26 so Ben Melech: and ye defile everyone his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:27
Say thou thus unto them, thus saith the Lord God ,.... Send or write unto them in the name of the Lord, after this manner, as I live , which is the form of an oath; the Lord swears by himself his life, because he could swear by no greater, and for the confirmation of what follows: surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword ; by their own sword, falling out one with another; or by the sword of Ishmael Jeremiah 41:2 or by the sword of the Chaldeans, who revenged the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:28
For I will lay the land most desolate ,.... Or, "desolation" and "desolation" F14 שממה ומשמה "desolationem et solitudiem", Montanus; "vastitatem et solitudinem", Starckius. ; one desolating judgment shall follow upon another, until it is completely desolate; it was very desolate already, through the ravages of the Chaldean army; but it should become more so, through other judgments here threatened them: and the pomp of her strength shall cease ; some understand this of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:29
Then shall they know that I am the Lord ,.... An omniscient Being, that could foresee and foretell what would come to pass; and omnipotent, able to do whatever he pleased, and true and faithful to his word; and a sovereign Lord, whose will cannot be resisted; this they should see, own, and acknowledge: when I have laid the land most desolate, because of all their abominations which they have committed : for though he is a sovereign Lord, yet he does not execute his judgments in an... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:24
Abraham was one - If he was called to inherit the land when he was alone, and had the whole to himself, why may we not expect to be established here, who are his posterity, and are many? They wished to remain in the land and be happy after the Chaldeans had carried the rest away captives. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:25
Ye eat with the blood - Abraham was righteous, ye are unrighteous. Eating of blood, in any way dressed, or of flesh from which the blood had not been extracted, was and is in the sight of God abominable. All such practices he has absolutely and for ever forbidden. Let the vile blood-eaters hear and tremble. See the note on Acts 15:20 , and the passages in the margin. read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 33:21-29
Here we have, I. The tidings brought to Ezekiel of the burning of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. The city was burnt in the eleventh year of the captivity and the fifth month, Jer. 52:12, 13. Tidings hereof were brought to the prophet by one that was an eye-witness of the destruction, in the twelfth year, and the tenth month (Ezek. 33:21), which was a year and almost five months after the thing was done; we may well suppose that, there being a constant correspondence at this time more than ever... read more
