Ezekiel 38:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Of unwalled villages; weak, and without any considerable defences: a scattered people, that dwell in villages, can make little if any resistance. That are at rest; who would willingly be quiet. That dwell safely; suspecting as little evil from others, as they intend little against others, and trusting in the protection of their God, who hath promised they shall dwell safely. Without walls that may resist and be too strong for my forces and engines; though they have walls, bars, and gates, yet Gog accounts as none against his mighty armies.

Ezekiel 38:11
