Ezequiel 25:13 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 25:8-17

Three more of Israel's ill-natured neighbours are here arraigned, convicted, and condemned to destruction, for contributing to and triumphing in Jerusalem's fall. I. The Moabites. Seir, which was the seat of the Edomites, is joined with them (Ezek. 25:8), because they said the same as the Moabites; but they were afterwards reckoned with by themselves, Ezek. 25:12. Now observe, 1. What was the sin of the Moabites; they said, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen. They... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:13

Therefore thus saith the Lord God ,.... Because of such base and barbarous usage, from a people that were originally brethren: I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it ; by the army of Nebuchadnezzar, by the sword of the Chaldeans, and by famine and pestilence, and such like sore judgments; in which the hand of God is manifestly seen: and I will make it desolate from Teman ; a very principal city of Edom, so called from Teman, the son of... read more

I will make it desolate from Teman - Teman and Dedan were both cities of the Moabites, and apparently at each extremity of the land. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

A prophet's work was hardly complete without such a survey of the Divine order of the world so far as it came within the horizon of his thoughts; and Ezekiel had before him the example of like groups of prophecies addressed to the heathen nations with which Israel was brought into contact, in Isaiah 13-23. and Jeremiah 46-51. It was natural that the two contemporary prophets should be led to address their messages to the same nations, and so we find Ezekiel's seven named together with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:1-17

The tribunal of nations. The Hebrews in captivity might, with probability, suppose that, since God had employed other armies to chastise Israel, such nations were without sin, or else their sins had been condoned by God. Nothing of the sort. God is no Respecter of nations. Righteousness everywhere is acceptable to him. Unrighteousness anywhere is offensive. And touching the degrees of iniquity, he claims to be Supreme Judge and the wise Punisher. Because he employs men in his service, he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-13

Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah , etc. The statement receives many illustrations, notably in Psalms 137:7 , and at an earlier date in Amos 1:11 ; Obadiah 1:11 . What had been malicious exultation (the ἐπιχαιρεκακία , which Aristotle describes as the extremest type of evil) passed in the case of Edom into overt acts of hostility. The moment of Judah's weakness was seized on as an opportunity for gratifying what Ezekiel elsewhere ( Ezekiel 35:5 ) calls the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-14

The revengeful nation. The Edomites are characterized as an especially revengeful people, because they watched for their opportunity, and, when the Jews were crushed and prostrate beneath the cruel Chaldean invasion, rushed in to smite their fallen foe. I. THE WICKED REVENGE . 1. Vengeance is presumptuous . There is a right recompense for sin, but this lies with God. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" ( Romans 12:19 ). He who seizes the weapons of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-14

The hostility add the curse of Edom. Often in the course of Old Testament history do we meet with references to the inhabitants of Edom, and usually they are exhibited as taking an attitude of hostility towards the chosen people. It is certainly remarkable that Ezekiel, in his Eastern captivity, should concern himself with these border states. But it is evident that he was at the time very deeply impressed with the great principle of national responsibility and national retribution; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 25:12-14

The judgment of Edom; or, the sin and punishment of revenge. "Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance," etc. The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, who settled in Mount Seir immediately after the death of his father Isaac. The country in which they dwelt was called Edom, or Idumaea. It was situated south of the territory of Moab; and "it only embraced the narrow mountainous tract (about a hundred miles long by twenty broad)... read more

From Teman ... - Or “from Teman” even unto “Dedan,” “shall they fall.” Teman and Dedan were districts (not cities), the former in the south (Ezekiel 20:46 note), the latter in the north (“over the whole country”). read more
