Ezekiel 5:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Judgments should empty the land of men that might till and manure it, and so your fruitful land shall be turned and continued a waste and desolate land. A reproach, Jeremiah 24:9, Jeremiah 29:18,22; a reproach or curse; men should taunt at them, and, in wishing the worst they can, wish their enemies like the Jews. So it was Lamentations 2:15,16.

Ezekiel 5:14

14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
