Ezekiel 24:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This provoked the anger of the Lord, and raised his fury against them. To come up, into the face of God, (after the manner of man,) as Ezekiel 38:18. To take vengeance; to God it appertains to take vengeance, to punish such sinners according to the nature of their sin. I have set her blood upon the top of a rock; God will openly punish, and in such manner as shall not be soon forgotten; they set it on a rock when they shed it with cruelty, God will set it on a rock when he punisheth it with severity. That it should not be covered; that it be not forgotten, or go unpunished; nor yet punished in a corner; all this inquisition and execution shall be public in the sight of many nations.

Ezekiel 24:8

8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
