Ezekiel 32:27 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And they shall not lie. — If this be the correct translation, then a distinction is implied between these nations and the others. The others have been honourably buried “with their weapons of war,” while these come to a more disgraceful end. It is better, however, to take it as a question (which the Hebrew fully admits): “Shall they not?” &c.

Their iniquities shall be upon their bones — i.e., they shall die in their iniquity. As we say in English, their sins shall be upon their heads.

Ezekiel 32:27

27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
