Ezekiel 6:11

Compare all

9 Then those of you who escape will ^aremember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because ^bI was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and ^cby their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; ^dthey will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.

10 And they shall know that I am the Lord; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.”

11 ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^a“Pound your fists and stamp your feet, and say, ‘Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! ^bFor they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

12 He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine. ^aThus will I spend My fury upon them.

13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain are among their idols all around their altars, ^aon every high hill, ^bon all the mountaintops, ^cunder every green tree, and under every thick oak, wherever they offered sweet incense to all their idols.

14 So I will ^astretch out My hand against them and make the land desolate, yes, more desolate than the wilderness toward ^bDiblah, in all their dwelling places. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ” ’ ”

Ezekiel 6:11

Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot - Show the utmost marks of thy astonishment and indignation, and dread of the evils that are coming upon them. Some have contended for the propriety of clapping and stamping in public worship from these words! It is scarcely a breach of charity to think that such persons are themselves incapable either of attending on or conducting the worship of God. To be consistent, they should copy the prophet in his other typical actions as well as these; and then we shall hear of their lying on their left side for three hundred and ninety days, and on their right side for forty days; shaving their heads, burning their hair, baking their bread with dung, etc. Now all these things, because they were typical and commanded, were proper in the prophet: in such persons as the above they would be evidences of insanity. Such extravagant acts are no part of God' s worship.
