Ezequiel 20:24-49 RVR1960

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:25

Because they did by such perverse obstinacy reject the statutes I did in mercy give them; my good laws and judgments, saith God, they despised; for this cause God proceeds to punish them in a dreadful kind and manner, Gave them; not by appointing or enjoining, but by permitting them to make such for themselves, much like that Romans 1:24, giving up to a reprobate sense, or that 2 Thessalonians 2:11; Psalms 81:11,Psalms 81:12, as a governor or father, after long and fruitless strivings with an... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:26

Polluted them; either I permitted them to pollute themselves, or discovered that they had polluted themselves, or treated them with loathing and abhorrence, as polluted persons. In their own gifts; either in their gifts which they pretended to bring to me, or rather in their sacrifices they offered to whom, or at least in what manner, they, not I, had chosen; or, which is most likely, gifts are here their first-born, which are more than other children accounted gifts. Through the fire: see... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:27

Since all this evil and wicked carriage in Egypt and in the wilderness is too true, and cause of a Divine wrath against them, go on; tell what the deportment of those was whom I brought into the land. Unto the house of Israel; to those elders that were now come to him, that they might tell others at Jerusalem. Yet; or further yet, beside all the rest, this is added by them. Blasphemed me; profanely and frowardly lessened my mercy, my law, my worship, cast a reproach upon it all, as less... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:28

When; so soon as settled in the land promised to Abraham and his seed. Lifted up mine hand: see Ezekiel 20:5,Ezekiel 20:23. Saw; lookest after them, and, when seen, liked and prepared after the manner of the heathen; though this was forbidden, yet this thou didst, buildedst thy high places, and thou settest up thy groves every where. There; not where God appointed, but where they listed. Their sacrifices; either to God, as sometimes some did, or to their own idols, as the most did, which is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:29

Then; when they were intent upon this horrid course of sin, God pleaded by his messengers, and prophets, and law, and some faithful priests, What mean you, that ye go to the high place? should you not go to the altar of God, and bring your sacrifices to the temple? Or what God better than Abraham’s do you expect there? What profit by attending upon those sacrifices offered daily? How often have you by such-like means poured contempt on God and his law! Whereunto ye go; leaving my temple, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:30

The house of Israel; those elders that were come to him, as Ezekiel 20:1, which see. They come to make inquiry, and now the prophet inquires of them, that their own conscience might make answer, and tell them what to expect: Your fathers, where are they? What became of some, that bore their iniquity? And what had become of the rest, if God had not withdrawn his hand? And all this hath been no warning to you, but, as they, so you, have polluted yourselves, and been idolaters. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:31

Your gifts: see Ezekiel 20:26. All your idols; it seems they took a compendious way to increase sin and wrath; they worshipped many idols at once; and this they did still to Ezekiel’s time, to that very day. Are you fit to come and ask counsel of me, whom you have so shamelessly, so obstinately forsaken and reproached? Can you expect I should answer you? My prophet knew you not to be hypocrites, but his God, who knows you, and all your abominations, hath put the answer into his mouth, which you... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:32

God by his prophet, to convince and recover them, tells them what they think and have purposed. Shall not be at all; shall be quite frustrated. Ye say; you have consulted and come to a resolution herein. As the heathen; unite in habitation, covenants, marriages, commerce, and religion too; and then ye shall be more safe among them, thrive with them, and all the displeasure they have against you will cease: these are your imaginations and contrivances of you at the court of Zedekiah in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:33

As I live: see Ezekiel 20:3. A mighty hand; so mighty, that you shall never wrest yourselves out of it: you think to revolt, and get out of my hand, but you shall hereby discover your own folly, malice, and weakness. A stretched out arm, which reacheth every where, whence you can never flee, which shall be most visible. With fury; in hot, but just indignation. Poured out; as an inundation from a mighty river, or like a violent storm poured from the clouds, or as a full vessel emptied all at... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:34

From the people; Sidonians, Ammonites, Moabites, &c., whoever they were to whom the house of the apostate Jews betook themselves; where they thought to lurk, God will bring them thence into Babylonish captivity. Will gather you; the same thing doubled for greater emphasis. Are scattered; you dispersed yourselves for your supposed safety and welfare. With a mighty hand: see Ezekiel 20:33. My power and arm shall execute my just displeasure on you. read more
