Ezekiel 21:23
_ _ Unto the Jews, though credulous of divinations when in their favor, Nebuchadnezzar’s divination “shall be (seen) as false.” This gives the reason which makes the Jews fancy themselves safe from the Chaldeans, namely, that they “have sworn” to the latter “oaths” of allegiance, forgetting that they had violated them (Ezekiel 17:13, Ezekiel 17:15, Ezekiel 17:16, Ezekiel 17:18).
_ _ but he, etc. — Nebuchadnezzar will remember in consulting his idols that he swore to Zedekiah by them, but that Zedekiah broke the league [Grotius]. Rather, God will remember against them (Revelation 16:19) their violating their oath sworn by the true God, whereas Nebuchadnezzar kept his oath sworn by a false god; Ezekiel 21:24 confirms this. |
Ezekiel 21:23
Them — The Jews. That have sworn — Zedekiah, his princes, and nobles, who swore allegiance to the king of Babylon, these perjured persons will contemn all predictions of the prophet. He — Nebuchadnezzar. The iniquity — The wickedness of their perjury and rebellion. They — Zedekiah, and the Jews with him |
Ezekiel 21:23
And it shall be to them (s) as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: (t) but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
(s) Because there was a league between the Jews and the Babylonians, they of Jerusalem will think nothing less than that this thing would come to pass.
(t) That is, Nebuchadnezzar will remember the rebellion of Zedekiah, and so come on them. |
