Ezekiel 33:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 33:28

26 You rely on your sword, you commit abominations, and you ^adefile one another’s wives. Should you then possess the land?” ’

27 “Say thus to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely ^athose who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field ^bI will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and ^ccaves shall die of the pestilence.

28 ^aFor I will make the land most desolate,¹ her ^barrogant strength shall cease, and ^cthe mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through.

29 Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.” ’

30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they ^aspeak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’

31 So ^athey come to you as people do, they ^bsit before you as My people, and they ^chear your words, but they do not do them; ^dfor with their mouth they show much love, but ^etheir hearts pursue their own gain.
