Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 36:5

5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousie have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea , which have appointed my land into their possession, with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

In the Heb. 'tis in form of an oath.

In my hot displeasure.

Threatned ruin and desolation to them.

Against all the Nations that are and have been enemies to Israel.

The Land, in which the Edomites dwelt, the Heb. is Edom.

Have given, or delivered, help'd to take the land from my people and then left it in the hand of the Chaldeans in hope it should be given back to them for their possession.

Transported with joy, Iacobs children put out, though heathen came in to possess the Land.

With rancorous Minds swelling with hatred and from that acting with utmost Vigour, to slay the inhabitants, that there might be no pretenders to the land, but that they might inherit it.
