Ezekiel 35:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou didst reproach, scoff, and vilify my people, as if they had been the people of some deaf idol; but I will make thee know I am the Lord, who heard all thy blasphemies, and can, for I have punished them. Which thou hast spoken; not speaking this without insulting and rejoicing, as Tyre did, Eze 26. Saying, Their God hath left them, either unable to rescue them, or changed in his kindness, and gone back from his word; or some such-like impious thoughts and discourses they had against God, whose city and temple they saw the Babylonians ruin, and which Edomites helped in doing. Given us; either by the Chaldeans, or else by God. To consume; utterly to consume, and to satisfy our hatred against them in the destruction of them.

Ezekiel 35:12

12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.d
