Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 10:17

_ _ (Ezekiel 1:12, Ezekiel 1:20, Ezekiel 1:21).

_ _ stood — God never stands still (John 5:17), therefore neither do the angels; but to human perceptions He seems to do so.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 10:8-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 10:17

For — There is a perfect harmony between second causes in their dependence on, and subjection to, the one infinite, wise, good, holy, and just God. The spirit of God directs all the creatures, upper and lower, so that they shall serve the divine purpose. Events are not determined by the wheel of fortune, which is blind, but by the wheels of providence, which are full of eyes.

When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also]: for the (g) spirit of the living being [was] in them.
