Ezequiel 33:27

27 Assim lhes dirás: Assim disse o Senhor Deus: Vivo eu, que os que estiverem em lugares desertos cairão � espada, e o que estiver no campo aberto eu o entregarei �s feras para ser devorado, e os que estiverem em lugares fortes e em cavernas morrerão de peste.

Ezequiel 33:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:27

Say thou thus unto them, thus saith the Lord God
Send or write unto them in the name of the Lord, after this manner, as I live,
which is the form of an oath; the Lord swears by himself his life, because he could swear by no greater, and for the confirmation of what follows: surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword;
by their own sword, falling out one with another; or by the sword of Ishmael ( Jeremiah 41:2 Jeremiah 41:3 ) or by the sword of the Chaldeans, who revenged the death of Gedaliah and others; even such who dwelt amidst the ruins of the city of Jerusalem, and other places, that were become desolate through the ravages of the enemy: and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be
devoured;
of which it may be supposed there were the greater numbers, since the land was so depopulated: and they that be in the forts, and in the caves, shall die of the pestilence; such as were in fortified cities, or in caverns of the earth, dug in rocks and mountains, where, in neither of them, men and beasts could easily come at them; here the Lord would send his arrow, the plague, that flies by day, and reach them, and destroy them; none can escape his hands; these are three of the Lord's sore judgments, the sword, pestilence, and noisome beasts.

Ezequiel 33:27 In-Context

25 Dize-lhes portanto: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Comeis a carne com o seu sangue, e levantais vossos olhos para os vossos ídolos, e derramais sangue! porventura haveis de possuir a terra?

26 Vós vos estribais sobre a vossa espada; cometeis abominações, e cada um contamina a mulher do seu próximo! e haveis de possuir a terra?

27 Assim lhes dirás: Assim disse o Senhor Deus: Vivo eu, que os que estiverem em lugares desertos cairão � espada, e o que estiver no campo aberto eu o entregarei �s feras para ser devorado, e os que estiverem em lugares fortes e em cavernas morrerão de peste.

28 E tornarei a terra em desolação e espanto, e cessará a soberba do seu poder; e os montes de Israel ficarão tão desolados que ninguém passará por eles.

29 Então saberão que eu sou o Senhor, quando eu tornar a terra em desolação e espanto, por causa de todas as abominações que cometeram.
