Ezechiele 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 21:13

Because it is a trial
As all afflictions and calamities are, especially to the people of God they try their faith and patience, and every other grace; and also to wicked men, they try them, whether they will repent or not: and what if the sword contemn even the rod?
the sceptre: the king of Judah, and his family; not only come upon and cut off the people and the princes, but the royal family also; and even overturn the tribe of Judah, as the word also signifies; and subvert the government of it, of which the rod or sceptre is an ensign; this would be a sore trial indeed, and yet it is intimated that so it should be: it shall be no more, saith the Lord God;
the rod or sceptre shall be no more in one of David's line, of the tribe Judah, until the Messiah comes, ( Ezekiel 21:27 ) . I should choose to render the words thus, "for it is a trial, but what?" F23 what an one is it? or for what is it? what will be the fruit, effect, and issue of it? if also the sceptre despises;
the king despises the trial, the affliction, the calamity, and is not brought to repentance by it: it shall be no more,
or "it shall not be" F24, saith the Lord God;
it, the sceptre, shall be taken away, and not restored to the house of David, until the Messiah comes.

Ezechiele 21:13 In-Context

11 (H21-16) E il Signore l’ha data a forbire, per impugnarla; è una spada aguzzata, e forbita, per darla in mano d’un ucciditore.
12 (H21-17) Grida, ed urla, o figliuol d’uomo; perciocchè ella è contro il mio popolo; ella è contro a tutti i principi d’Israele; il mio popolo non è altro che uomini atterrati per la spada; perciò, percuotiti in su la coscia.
13 (H21-18) Perciocchè una prova è stata fatta; e che dunque, se anche lo scettro sprezzante non sarà più? dice il Signore Iddio.
14 (H21-19) Tu adunque, figliuol d’uomo, profetizza, e battiti a palme; la spada sarà raddoppiata fino a tre volte; essa è la spada degli uccisi; la spada del grande ucciso che penetrerà fin dentro alle lor camerette.
15 (H21-20) Io ho posto lo spavento della spada sopra tutte le lor porte, per far che ogni cuore si strugga, e per moltiplicar le ruine; ahi lasso me! ella è apparecchiata per folgorare; è aguzzata per ammazzare.
