Ezekiel 25:12-14 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Edom, the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob, is the next brought to God's bar, and a solemn judgment and sentence is pronounced upon Edom. See, Reader! how plainly the different seeds of nature and grace ran through all the generations of Esau and Jacob? Oh! to what can we refer distinguishing mercy but to God's sovereign will and purpose! Malachi 1:2-3; Romans 9:13-16.

Ezekiel 25:12-14

12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
