Ezequiel 35:15 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 35:10-15

Here is, I. A further account of the sin of the Edomites, and their bad conduct towards the people of God. We find the church complaining of them for setting on the Babylonians, and irritating them against Jerusalem, saying, Rase it, rase it, down with it, down with it (Ps. 137:7), inflaming a rage that needed no spur; here it is further charged upon them that they triumphed in Jerusalem's ruin and in the desolations of the country. Many blasphemies they spoke against the mountains of Israel,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:15

As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate ,.... So Edom rejoiced at the destruction of Jerusalem, Obadiah 1:12 , and so the followers of the man of sin will rejoice at the slaying of the witnesses, Revelation 11:10 , which is resented by the Lord, and therefore adds, so will I do unto thee ; make thee desolate, as is explained in the next clause: thou shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it ; not that mount... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 35:15

So will I do unto thee - Others shall rejoice in thy downfall as thou hast rejoiced at their downfall. This whole chapter strongly inculcates this maxim: Do as thou wouldst be done by; and what thou wouldst not have done to thee, do not to others. And from it we learn that every man may, in some sort, be said to make his own temporal good or evil; for as he does to others, God will take care to do to him, whether it be evil or good, weal or wo. Would you not be slandered or backbitten?... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Special punishment of special sin. Very painful must it be to an intelligent spirit to be the executor of Jehovah's vengeance upon transgressors: the pain is only one remove the less to announce the coming doom. Yet, as we gain broader and clearer views of God's administration, we discover that the suffering of a few brings advantage to the many. The splendor and the rare excellence of God's righteousness are thereby clearly revealed. And gradually we perceive that pain and pleasure are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Features to be found in penalty. When God is obliged to be "against" a man or a people, as he was against Edom ( Ezekiel 35:2 ), he (it) may look for these three things in the retribution which impends— I. AN INFLICTION ANSWERING IN CHARACTER TO THE SIN . "Because thou hast given over … to the power of the sword … therefore … I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee" ( Ezekiel 35:5 , Ezekiel 35:6 ). Our Lord also himself tells us that "they who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:11-15

The Lord's identification of himself with Israel. A careless reader might possibly consider that a passage like this exemplifies prophetic partiality; that Ezekiel, because himself a Jew by birth and by sentiment, was disposed to represent the Supreme as upon his side and against his countrymen's enemies; that the view given of the Eternal is of a Ruler whose government is distinguished by favoritism. But further consideration will show that this is not the case. The cause of Israel was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:15

As thou didst rejoice . כִי is here a particle of comparison; and the import of the passage is that precisely as Edom exulted over the desolation of Israel's inheritance, so would Jehovah cause others to rejoice over the downfall and desolation of Edom. All Idumea . Instead of this Greek term, the Revised Version properly substitutes the usual word Edom. Note: That the prediction here uttered concerning Edom received literal fulfillment, the following extract relative to the present... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 35:15

Rejoicing over the ruin of others. I. THE UGLY FACT . Edom had rejoiced over the ruin of Israel. One would say that such a joy must be impossible. Regarding the world from the high ground of ideal speculation, one would suppose that sympathy for the suffering must spring forth as a natural instinct, or that, if the feelings were callous and selfishness hardened the heart, still there would be no room for joy under such circumstances. But the facts of history and observation show... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 35:13-15

Ezekiel 35:13-15. With your mouth ye have boasted against me As if I were not able to make good my promises toward my people, or to assert my right in Judea. When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate When I shall restore other countries, conquered by the king of Babylon, to their former prosperity, thou shalt still lie waste and desolate. The Edomites never recovered their country after the Nabatheans had expelled them out of it. Thou shalt be desolate, all Idumea The... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 35:1-15

Edom punished (35:1-15)Since the Jews were to inherit their land again, any foreign nation that attempted to occupy that land for itself had to be overcome. One such nation was Edom, symbolized here by its distinctive landmark, Mt Seir (35:1-4). Edom had a long record of bitter hatred of Israel, and with wicked vindictiveness had gladly helped Babylon crush Jerusalem in 587 BC. Therefore, Edom itself will be crushed. It will suffer the slaughter it made Jerusalem suffer. Its people will be... read more
