Ezekiel 33:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ye stand upon your sword; you trust to your sword, and stand with it as it were drawn ready to kill and slay, you do all with violence and force, not regarding what is right and equal, and fear no restraints or punishments. Abomination; idolatry, or other wickedness not to be named. Ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: adultery is so common among you, that it is no bold hyperbole to say every one defiles his neighbour's wife. Shall ye possess the land? Can such sinners flatter themselves that they shall inherit the land promised to a holy and good father, and to the like seed? Will not the land spew Jewish sinners out, as it did spew out such Canaanitish sinners?

Ezekiel 33:26

26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
