Ezekiel 21:5

5 ut sciat omnis caro quia ego Dominus eduxi gladium meum de vagina sua inrevocabilem

Ezekiel 21:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 21:5

That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my
sword out of his sheath
The same with kindling a fire in Judea, (See Gill on Ezekiel 20:48): it shall not return any more;
that is, into its sheath, until it has done all its work; meaning that the Chaldean army should not return to their own land until they had executed the whole will of God upon the Jews; this is the fire that should not be quenched, ( Ezekiel 20:48 ) and here ends the explanation of the said prophecy.

Ezekiel 21:5 In-Context

3 et dices terrae Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te et eiciam gladium meum de vagina sua et occidam in te iustum et impium

4 pro eo autem quod occidi in te iustum et impium idcirco egredietur gladius meus de vagina sua ad omnem carnem ab austro ad aquilonem

5 ut sciat omnis caro quia ego Dominus eduxi gladium meum de vagina sua inrevocabilem

6 et tu fili hominis ingemesce in contritione lumborum et in amaritudinibus ingemesce coram eis

7 cumque dixerint ad te quare tu gemis dices pro auditu quia venit et tabescet omne cor et dissolventur universae manus et infirmabitur omnis spiritus et per cuncta genua fluent aquae ecce venit et fiet ait Dominus Deus
