Ezechiël 38:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 38:3

How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom?
&c.] A man deprived of wisdom has need of counsel, and it should be given him; and he does well both to ask and take it; and be it so, as if Job should say, that I am the foolish and unwise creature you take me to be, what counsel and advice have you given me? what a wise counsellor have you shown yourself to be? or rather, what a miserable part have you acted under this character?

and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
the thing in controversy, set it forth in a clear light, and in a copious manner, when he had not said one word about it, namely, concerning the afflictions of the godly, and the prosperity of the wicked; thus jeering at him, and laughing at the short reply he had made, and which was nothing to the purpose.

3 En zeg: Zo zegt de Heere HEERE: Zie, Ik wil aan u, o Gog, gij hoofdvorst van Mesech en Tubal!
4 En Ik zal u omwenden, en haken in uw kaken leggen, en Ik zal u uitvoeren, mitsgaders uw ganse heir, paarden en ruiteren, die altemaal volkomen wel gekleed zijn, een grote vergadering, met rondas en schild, die altemaal zwaarden handelen;
5 Perzen, Moren en Puteers met hen, die altemaal schild en helm voeren;
