Ezekiel 6:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Far off; either by his early and voluntary flight from his own country; or, he that is carried away captive, and sent by the enemy into a far country. Pestilence; the arrow I will shoot after them. He that is near; who stays in his own country, or dwells near to Jerusalem, or would retire to it when the Babylonians approach, but is taken before he can get thither. He that remaineth; that surviveth those slain, but is shut up and besieged where he sought safety. I will accomplish my fury; I will satisfy my just displeasure, and give them full measures of punishment; I will fulfil my threats.

Ezekiel 6:12

12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
