Ezequiel 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.

Ezequiel 21:13 In-Context

11 “A espada foi destinada a ser polida,a ser pega com as mãos;está afiada e polida,preparada para que a maneje a mão do matador.
12 Clame e grite, filho do homem,pois ela está contra o meu povo;está contra todos os príncipes de Israel.Eles e o meu povo são atiradoscontra a espada.Lamente-se, pois; bata no peito.
13 “É certo que a prova virá. E que acontecerá, se o cetro de Judá, que a espada despreza, não continuar a existir? Palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR.
14 “Por isso profetize, então, filho do homem,e bata as mãos uma na outra.Que a espada golpeie não duas,mas três vezes.É uma espada para matança,para grande matança,avançando sobre eles de todos os lados.
15 Assim, para que os corações se derretame muitos sejam os caídos,coloquei a espada para a matançajunto a todas as suas portas.Ah! Ela foi feita para luzir como relâmpago;é empunhada firmemente para a matança.
