Ezekiel 28:22 KJV,NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 28:20-26

God's glory is his great end, both in all the good and in all the evil which proceed out of the mouth of the Most High; so we find in these verses. 1. God will be glorified in the destruction of Zidon, a city that lay near to Tyre, was more ancient, but not so considerable, had a dependence upon it and stood and fell with it. God says here, I am against thee, O Zidon! and I will be glorified in the midst of thee, Ezek. 28:22. And again, ?Those that would not know be gentler methods shall be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 28:22

The eternal Jehovah, the only true God, the Maker of heaven and earth; this is said by way of preface to the prophecy, and to assure of the fulfilment of it, as well as in opposition to the gods of the Zidonians: behold, I am against thee, O Zidon ; angry with thee, and will come out against thee in my wrath, because of thine idolatries and impieties. The Targum is, "behold, I send my fury upon thee, O Zidon:' I will be glorified in the midst of thee ; not by the conversion of them;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 28:22

I am against thee, O Zidon - Sidon for a long time had possessed the empire of the sea and of all Phoenicia, and Tyre was one of its colonies; but in process of time, the daughter became greater than the mother. It seems to have been an independent place at the time in which Tyre was taken; but it is likely that it was taken by the Chaldeans soon after the former. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:20-23

The judgment of Zidon. I. PARTNERS IN GUILT WILL BE PARTNERS IN DOOM . Tyre and Zidon were constantly associated together by reason of their nearness to one another, and their common interests and actions. Zidon followed Tyre in its degenerate course of wickedness. Thus, like Sodom and Gomorrah, Type and Zidon were commonly named together as conjoined in an ugly pre-eminence of wickedness (e.g. Luke 10:14 ). There is no security in such companionship. We gain nothing by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:20-24

God glorified in the execution of judgment. "Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Zidon," etc. Zidon was "an ancient and wealthy city of Phoenicia, on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, less than twenty English miles to the north of Tyre," and on the extreme northwestern border of the land of Israel. The Hebrew word Tsidon signifies" Fishing," and indicates the earliest employment of its inhabitants. The land in the neighborhood of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:20-26

The end of Divine judgment. This severe condemnation of the idolatrous and vicious Zidon, coupled with the very gracious promise to Israel, with which the prophecy concludes, many instruct us— I. WHY AND HOW GOD IS AGAINST US . "I am against thee, O Zidon" ( Ezekiel 28:22 ). And we know that Jehovah was expressing his high displeasure and was warning of serious national disaster ( Ezekiel 28:23 ) because of the iniquities of the state. The worst forms of religious... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 28:22

I will be glorified in … thee . The thought and the phrase come from Exodus 14:4 ; Le Exodus 10:3 . Ezekiel reproduces it in Ezekiel 39:13 . God is glorified, or, as in the next clause, sanctified , when his power and holiness are manifested in righteous judgment. (For "sanctified," see Ezekiel 38:16 : Numbers 20:13 .) read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 28:21-23

Ezekiel 28:21-23. Set thy face against Zidon Direct thy face and thy speech toward Zidon, and fore-tel its destruction by the king of Babylon. Tyre and Zidon were neighbouring cities, and generally partakers of the same prosperity or adversity. We have, indeed, no history that informs us of the particulars of what befell Zidon; but it is likely that it sent help to the Tyrians, and so (Nebuchadnezzar proving victorious) suffered with them, and was reduced first under the power of the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 28:20-26

Judgment on Sidon (28:20-26)Sidon, to the north of Tyre, was another neighbouring state that had oppressed Israel. It too will experience a bloody judgment (20-23). As a result God’s people will have relief from suffering and a more enlightened understanding of him (24). When God has destroyed their enemies, he will bring them back to live contentedly in their land again. His righteous dealings with them will be a striking demonstration to the surrounding nations that the God of Israel is holy... read more
