Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 21:13

_ _ it is a trial — rather, “There is a trial” being made: the sword of the Lord will subject all to the ordeal. “What, then, if it contemn even the rod” (scepter of Judah)? Compare as to a similar scourge of unsparing trial, Job 9:23.

_ _ it shall be no more — the scepter, that is, the state, must necessarily then come to an end. Fulfilled in part at the overthrow of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar, but fully at the time of “Shiloh’s” (Messiah’s) coming (Genesis 49:10), when Judea became a Roman province.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 21:8-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 21:13

If — But if the king and kingdom of Judah despise this trial, both shall be destroyed and be no more.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 21:13

Because [it is] a trial, (l) and what if [the sword] despise even the rod? it shall be no [more], saith the Lord GOD.

(l) Ezekiel moved with compassion thus complains fearing the destruction of the kingdom which God had confirmed to David and his posterity by promise, which promise God performed although here it seemed to man's eye that it would utterly perish.
