Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 12:19

_ _ people of the land — the Jews “in the land” of Chaldea who thought themselves miserable as being exiles and envied the Jews left in Jerusalem as fortunate.

_ _ land of Israel — contrasted with “the people in the land” of Chaldea. So far from being fortunate as the exiles in Chaldea regarded them, the Jews in Jerusalem are truly miserable, for the worst is before them, whereas the exiles have escaped the miseries of the coming siege.

_ _ land ... desolate from all that is therein — literally, “that the land (namely, Judea) may be despoiled of the fullness thereof”; emptied of the inhabitants and abundance of flocks and corn with which it was filled.

_ _ because of ... violence — (Psalms 107:34).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 12:17-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 12:19

The people — Thy fellow captives. And of the land — Those that dwell in the countries round about Jerusalem. Her land — Jerusalem's land, so called because it was the head city thereof. Desolate — Because it shortly shall be laid waste, emptied of inhabitants, wealth and plenty. Violence — Injustice, oppression and tyranny of the Jews toward one another.
