Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 6:12

_ _ He that is far off — namely, from the foe; those who in a distant exile fear no evil.

_ _ he that remainethhe that is left in the city; not carried away into captivity, nor having escaped into the country. Distinct from “he that is near,” namely, those outside the city who are within reach of “the sword” of the foe, and so fall by it; not by “famine,” as those left in the city.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 6:11-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 6:12

Far off — Either by flight, or captivity. Shall fall — Who dwell near to Jerusalem, or would retire to it, when the Babylonians approach.
