Ezekiel 43:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This verse is either prophetic or perceptive, it doth direct the Jew what he should in duty do under this temple, and foretell what the people of God will do under the gospel. Put away; cast away, as impure and loathsome things should be cast away. Their whoredom, & c.: see Ezekiel 43:7. Far from me, my temple and worship. I will dwell in the midst of them, as their light, protection, and glory. The promises which are made in these cases enjoin us duty: men may sin away God's presence and blessings. Cast away all sin, that God cast not you away. For ever: see Ezekiel 43:7.

Ezekiel 43:9

9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
