Ezekiel 36:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:14

Therefore thou shalt devour men no more
Or they shall be no more destroyed in thee by pestilence, famine, sword, or other means: neither bereave that nations any more, saith the Lord;
or, "thou shalt not cause them to fall any more" ^F11, for so it is written, as in ( Ezekiel 36:15 ) , though the marginal reading is, "thou shalt not bereave", which we follow; and both are to be received, since miscarriages often come by falls.
