Ezekiel 17:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

See Ezekiel 12:13, where the former part of this verse is word for word. Plead with him; or, be judged with him, i.e. the heathen shall both see what I do against this man, they shall consider why I do so, and be judge whether I do more than this perjured king deserves; or, I will punish him with continued punishments from my own hand, or by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, suitable to the greatness of his trespass against me. Against me: falsehoods to men in breaking oaths and covenants are in a high degree trespasses against God.

Ezekiel 17:20

20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
