Ezekiel 33:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The wastes; the ruinous heaps of cities or towns, in which some sorry habitations might possibly be found by them. Shall fall; the Chaldean soldier ransacking all places, and either expecting or by chance finding them there, shall kill in revenge of Gedaliah's death and Ishmael with others shall destroy some of them. That is in the open field; that wanders in the fields, shall be a prey to lions, or other ravenous beasts, that will multiply in that ruined country. In the forts; out of the reach of men and beasts my hand shall reach, I will send the pestilence, that shall sweep them away.

Ezekiel 33:27

27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
