Ezekiel 5:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A reproach: see Ezekiel 5:14. A taunt; a very proverb among men. An instruction; sinners like thee shall learn by thy miseries what they may expect from me, and they shall acknowledge Divine justice in all. When I shall execute judgments, in highest degrees of severity. I the Lord; I, who can do it, because almighty; who may do it, because provoked; who will do it, because they repented not; I have spoken, and will do it, as Jeremiah 25:9.

Ezekiel 5:15

15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
