Ezekiel 9:8-11 WEB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 9:5-11

In these verses we have, I. A command given to the destroyers to do execution according to their commission. They stood by the brazen altar, waiting for orders; and orders are here given them to cut off and destroy all that were either guilty of, or accessory to, the abominations of Jerusalem, and that did not sigh and cry for them. Note, When God has gathered his wheat into his garner nothing remains but to burn up the chaff, Matt. 3:12. 1. They are ordered to destroy all, (1.) Without... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:8

And it came to pass, while they were slaying them ,.... That were in the city: and I was left ; in the temple; and the only one that was left there, the rest were slain; for there were none marked in the temple, only in the city, Ezekiel 9:4 ; that I fell upon my face ; as a supplicant, with great humility: and cried, and said ; being greatly distressed with this awful providence: ah, Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel ; the ten tribes had been carried... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:9

Then he said unto me ,.... In order to satisfy the prophet, and make him easy, and show the equity and justice of the divine proceedings: the iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great ; it cannot be well conceived or expressed how great it is; it abounded and superabounded: this is the answer in general, but in particular it follows: and the land is full of blood ; of murders, as the Targum interprets it; of shedding of innocent blood; and even of all atrocious... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:10

And as for me also ,.... As they have not spared the poor and the needy, the widow and the fatherless, but have perverted their judgment, and shed innocent blood: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompence their way upon their head ; deal with them by the law of retaliation, and reward them according to their deserts; see Ezekiel 7:4 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:11

And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side ,.... Ezekiel 9:2 ; to whom the orders were given to mark the mourners in the city, Ezekiel 9:4 . The Syriac version is, "then I saw the man", &c.; which must direct him to observe and call to mind the distinguishing goodness of God to his own people: reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me ; meaning that the righteous were marked, and had been preserved, while the others were... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:8

Wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel, On thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? - These destroyers had slain the seventy elders, the twenty-five adorers of the sun, and the women that mourned for Tammuz; and on seeing this slaughter the prophet fell on his face, and began to make intercession. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:9

For they say, The Lords hath forsaken the earth - הארץ את eth haarets , "this land." He has no more place in Israel; he has quite abandoned it; he neither sees nor cares, and he can be no longer the object of worship to any man in Israel. This seems to be the meaning; and God highly resents it, because it was bringing him on a level with idols and provincial deities, who had, according to supposition, regency only in some one place. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:10

Mine eye shall not spare - They say, the Lord seeth not: this is false; I have seen all their iniquities, and do see all their abominations; and I will bring deserved judgment upon them, and then that eye which now sees will neither pity nor spare. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:11

I have done as thou hast commanded me - Angels and men must all give account of their conduct to God; for although he is every where, and his eye sees all things, yet they must personally account for all that they have done. I have done as thou hast commanded me. The penitents are all signed; the penitents are all safe. This is good news for them that mourn. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:8

Verse 8 The Prophet does not so carefully preserve the historical order in the context of the words. For he says, the Chaldeans had returned He afterwards adds, while they were striking the city that he fell upon his face. But we know this to be sufficiently common among the Hebrews, to relate first what is done afterwards. Although the Prophet seems to have fallen upon his face a little after their return, i.e., as soon as he perceived the city to have been nearly destroyed; yet he says, while... read more
