Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3, 4) The righteous and the wicked.--This explains the green tree and the dry of Ezekiel 20:47; and "all flesh" of Ezekiel 21:4-5, corresponds to "all faces" of the same. These expressions are meant to show the universality of the approaching desolation. The actual separation in God's sight between the righteous and the wicked has already been plainly set forth in 9:4-6. But still in this, as in all national judgments, the innocent must of necessity be involved in the same temporal sufferings with the guilty. The general terms of this prophecy are to be limited by what is elsewhere said of the mercy which shall be shown to a remnant.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewand tellוְאָמַרְתָּ֞ (wə·’ā·mar·tā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say[her]יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descthat this is whatכֹּ֚ה (kōh)AdverbStrong's 3541: Like this, thus, here, nowthe LORDיְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelsays:אָמַ֣ר (’ā·mar)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say‘I am against you,אֵלַ֔יִךְ (’ê·la·yiḵ)Preposition | second person feminine singularStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toand I will drawוְהוֹצֵאתִ֥י (wə·hō·w·ṣê·ṯî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singularStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximMy swordחַרְבִּ֖י (ḥar·bî)Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 2719: Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, swordfrom its sheathמִתַּעְרָ֑הּ (mit·ta‘·rāh)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person feminine singularStrong's 8593: A knife, razor, a scabbardand cut offוְהִכְרַתִּ֥י (wə·hiḵ·rat·tî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singularStrong's 3772: To cut, to destroy, consume, to covenantfrom youמִמֵּ֖ךְ (mim·mêḵ)Preposition | second person feminine singularStrong's 4480: A part of, from, out ofboth the righteousצַדִּ֥יק (ṣad·dîq)Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 6662: Just, righteousand the wicked.וְרָשָֽׁע׃ (wə·rā·šā‘)Conjunctive waw | Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 7563: Wrong, an, bad personJump to PreviousCover Cut Cutting Draw Evil Forth Ground Israel Righteous Scabbard Sheath Sword Upright Wicked Words
