Ezekiel 20:35 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Bring you; drive you; and since you think of such a course of ease to yourselves by casting me off among the nations, I will bring you among such as you shall be soon weary of. Into the wilderness; into the most horrid, barbarous, and savage parts of the inhabited world; into the mountainous barren parts of Media, Hyrcania, Iberia, Caspia, and Albania, and Scythia, inhospitable nations, and mortal enemies to strangers. Plead; debate, pass sentence, and execute it also on you. Face to face; not, as the rabbins dream, to conceal the dishonour of the Jews, but indeed plainly, openly, and so as my hand shall be seen.

Ezekiel 20:35

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
