Ezekiel 11:6,7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ye have multiplied your slain— Ye have multiplied your soldiers in this city, you have filled the streets thereof; Ezekiel 11:7. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, The soldiers whom ye have placed in the midst of you shall be the flesh, and this city the caldron: But I will cast you forth, &c. as a boiling caldron casts forth the flesh. God adds in the 10th and 11th verses, I will judge you in the borders, that is to say, after I have cast you out of the boiling caldron. This respects Zedekiah more particularly, his sons and relations, upon whom Nebuchadnezzar exercised judgment at Riblah, in the borders of Judaea. See Jeremiah 51:4; Jeremiah 51:47; Jeremiah 51:49. Houbigant and Kennicott.
