Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 35:12

12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying , they are laid desolate, they are given us to consume .

Thou didst reproach, scoffe, and vilifie my people, as if they had been the people of some deaf Idol, but I will make thee know I am the Lord, who heard all thy blasphemies, and can, for I have punisht them.

Not speaking this without insulting and rejoycing as Tyre did, chap. 27.

Their God hath left, either unable to rescue them, or changed in his kindness, and gone back from his word; or some such like impious thoughts, and discourses they had against God, whose City, and Temple they saw the Babylonians ruine, and which Edomites helpt in doing.

Either by the Chald[illegible: 1 letter]ans or else by God.

Utterly to consume and to satisfie our hatred against them in the destruction of them.
