Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 21:29

_ _ see vanity ... divine a lie — Ammon, too, had false diviners who flattered them with assurances of safety; the only result of which will be to “bring Ammon upon the necks,” etc., that is, to add the Ammonites to the headless trunks of the slain of Judah, whose bad example Ammon followed, and “whose day” of visitation for their guilt “is come.”

_ _ when their iniquity shall have an end — See on Ezekiel 21:25.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 21:28-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 21:29

While — While thy astrologers, and soothsayers, deceive thee with fair, but false divinations. To bring thee — To bring thee under the sword of the Chaldeans, and destroy thee as the Jews; to make thee stumble and fall on their necks, as men that fall among a multitude of slain.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 21:29

While they see (z) vanity to thee, while they divine a lie to thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end.

(z) Though the Jews and Ammonites would not believe that you, that is the sword, would come upon them, and said that the prophets who threatened spoke lies, yet you will as surely come as though you were already on their necks.
