Ezekiel 21:29 - Exposition

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, and that punishment will come.
