Ezekiel 24:16
_ _ desire of ... eyes — his wife: representing the sanctuary (Ezekiel 24:21) in which the Jews so much gloried. The energy and subordination of Ezekiel’s whole life to his prophetic office is strikingly displayed in this narrative of his wife’s death. It is the only memorable event of his personal history which he records, and this only in reference to his soul-absorbing work. His natural tenderness is shown by that graphic touch, “the desire of thine eyes.” What amazing subjection, then, of his individual feeling to his prophetic duty is manifested in the simple statement (Ezekiel 24:18), “So I spake ... in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.”
_ _ stroke — a sudden visitation. The suddenness of it enhances the self-control of Ezekiel in so entirely merging individual feeling, which must have been especially acute under such trying circumstances, in the higher claims of duty to God. |
Ezekiel 24:16
With a stroke — A sudden stroke, by my own immediate hand. We know not how soon the desire of our eyes may be removed from us. Death is a stroke, which the most pious, the most useful, the most amiable are not exempted from. |
Ezekiel 24:16
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the (o) desire of thy eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
