에스겔 5:6-7 KRV

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 5:6

And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations ,.... So they changed their glory for that which did not profit; and the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man; and the truth of God into a lie, Jeremiah 2:11 ; or, "for wickedness" F17 לרשעה "ut improbe ageret", Cocceius. ; for judgments and laws that were not good, and which to observe was wickedness. The word rendered "changed" signifies to "rebel against" or to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 5:7

Therefore thus saith the Lord God ,.... Having observed their sins, and which are still enlarged upon, the Lord proceeds to denounce his judgments against them: because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you ; not in numbers, nor in wealth and riches, or in blessings and privileges, and therefore grew wanton and forgetful; though this was true: but in sins and wickedness, which abounded among them, and in which they exceeded the nations round about them; and so... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 5:6

She hath changed my judgments - God shows the reason why he deals with Jerusalem in greater severity than with the surrounding nations; because she was more wicked than they. Bad and idolatrous as they were, they had a greater degree of morality among them than the Jews had. Having fallen from the true God, they became more abominable than others in proportion to the height, eminence, and glory from which they had fallen. This is the common case of backsliders; they frequently, in their... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 5:6

Verse 6 He now adds, My judgments are changed concerning the word מרה, mereh, I said that it signifies sometimes to change, but oftener to transgress or to reject, and there the sense suits very well, because the Jews were rebellious against the judgments of God even to impiety. But he enlarges upon their wickedness when he says, my statutes have been despised since they so addicted themselves to impiety. For if there had been any pretext of virtue, their fault might have been extenuated, but... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 5:7

Verse 7 This verse is variously expounded on account of the word המנכם , hemenekem: for some read it jointly in one context, as if through being multiplied they did not worship God; as if he meant that they were luxurious through their opulence, as horses are restive through too much food and fatness. That passage of Moses has been marked: Israel, when highly fed, kicked; therefore they think that this place is like it, and so they combine it together: because thou hast been multiplied beyond.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 5:5-6

Privileges abused. Himself an exile, and far from the city which was the glory of his nation and the seat of the worship of his God, Ezekiel nevertheless felt keenly and bitterly the reproach which was coming upon the metropolis, the ruin which the sins of her kings and her citizens had brought upon her, the forsaking of her God, her abandonment to her foes. Yet he would not question the justice discernible in these calamities. Jerusalem was her own enemy and her own destruction. I. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 5:5-10

Abused privilege produces condign punishment. This doctrine is repeated and emphasized in myriad forms. It is written, not in sand, but on rock, and written with a pen of steel. If the men of England do not read this lesson, the reason is evident—they are wantonly blind. I. WE HAVE HERE AN INSTANCE OF EMINENT PRIVILEGE . Jerusalem was placed in a most central position. What the heart is to the body, what the sun is to the solar system, Palestine was among ancient... 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

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 5:6

She hath changed, etc. To that calling Jerusalem had been unfaithful. Corruptio optimi pessima, and she had sunk to a lower level than the nations round about her . For changed my judgments into wickedness, read, with the Revised Version, hath rebelled against my judgments in doing wickedness. The pronoun refers, not to the nations, but to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and so in the next clause. read more
