Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 7:27

_ _ people of the land — the general multitude, as distinguished from the “king” and the “prince.” The consternation shall pervade all ranks. The king, whose duty it was to animate others and find a remedy for existing evils, shall himself be in the utmost anxiety; a mark of the desperate state of affairs.

_ _ clothed with desolation — Clothing is designed to keep off shame; but in this case shame shall be the clothing.

_ _ after their way — because of their wicked ways.

_ _ deserts — literally, “judgments,” that is, what just judgment awards to them; used to imply the exact correspondence of God’s judgment with the judicial penalties they had incurred: they oppressed the poor and deprived them of liberty; therefore they shall be oppressed and lose their own liberty.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 7:23-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 7:27

The king — Zedekiah. The prince — Every magistrate. Troubled — Hang down, and melt away. What can men contrive or do for themselves, when God is departed from them? All must needs be in tears, all in trouble, when God comes to judge them according to their deserts, and so make them know, that he is the Lord, to whom vengeance belongeth.
