Ezekiel 21:17 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.

I will also smite mine hands together. Yahweh Himself smites His hands together, doing what He had commanded Ezekiel to do (note, Ezekiel 21:14), in token of His smiting Jerusalem; cf. the similar symbolical action of Joash, by Elisha's direction (2 Kings 13:18-19).

I will cause my fury to rest - give it full vent, and so satisfy it. (Ezekiel 5:13).
