Ezekiel 35:10

Eze 35:10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

Ver. 10. Because thou hast said. ] Ungodly men must answer for their ungodly speeches also. Jdg 1:15

These two nations. ] Israel and Judah.

Shall be mine. ] Such was their avarice and ambition that they made account all was their own; they had in their hopes devoured these two countries which God had reserved for a better purpose. He kept the room empty till the return of the natives; and the land kept her sabbaths, resting from tillage, &c. And yet these miscreants added,

Whereas the Lord was there. ] Or, Though it be a Jehovahshammah, as Ezekiel 48:35 ; be it that the Lord is there - scil., to keep possession against us - we will out him, and have it in despite of him. O tongues worthy to be pulled out, cut in gobbets, and driven down their throats, that did thus blaspheme!
