Ezequiel 13:13

13 Portanto assim diz o Senhor Deus: fendê-la-ei no meu furor com vento tempestuoso e, na minha ira, farei cair forte chuva, e grandes pedras de saraiva, na minha indignação, para a consumir.

Ezequiel 13:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 13:13

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Confirming what he had before bid the prophet say, ( Ezekiel 13:11 ) ; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury;
stormy winds sometimes rend rocks asunder, ( 1 Kings 19:11 ) ; and much more feeble tottering walls; what is before ascribed to the stormy wind is said to be done here by the Lord himself, making use of that as an instrument; stormy winds fulfil his word, ( Psalms 148:8 ) ; the cause of which is his wrath, which made the dispensation, or the invasion of the Chaldean army, the more terrible; and this is mentioned in all the following clauses: and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great
hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it];
which, coming from the Lord, and attended with his wrath and fury, must needs bring on utter ruin and destruction. The whole is paraphrased by the Targum thus,

``and I will bring a mighty king with the force of tempests; and a destroying people as a prevailing rain in my fury shall come; and kings, who were powerful as hailstones, in wrath to consume.''

12 Ora, eis que, caindo a parede, não vos dirão: Onde está o reboco de que a rebocastes?
13 Portanto assim diz o Senhor Deus: fendê-la-ei no meu furor com vento tempestuoso e, na minha ira, farei cair forte chuva, e grandes pedras de saraiva, na minha indignação, para a consumir.
14 E derribarei a parede que rebocastes com argamassa fraca, e darei com ela por terra, de modo que seja descoberto o seu fundamento; quando ela cair, vós perecereis no meio dela; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.
15 Assim cumprirei o meu furor contra a parede, e contra os que a rebocam de argamassa fraca; e vos direi: A parede já não existe, nem aqueles que a rebocaram, a saber,
