Ezekiel 33:29 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:29

Then shall they know that I am the Lord
An omniscient Being, that could foresee and foretell what would come to pass; and omnipotent, able to do whatever he pleased, and true and faithful to his word; and a sovereign Lord, whose will cannot be resisted; this they should see, own, and acknowledge: when I have laid the land most desolate, because of all their
abominations which they have committed:
for though he is a sovereign Lord, yet he does not execute his judgments in an arbitrary way, merely cause it is his will, but because of the abominable sins committed by men, which provoke the eyes of his glory.

Ezekiel 33:29 In-Context

27 haec dices ad eos sic dicit Dominus Deus vivo ego quia qui in ruinosis habitant gladio cadent et qui in agro est bestiis tradetur ad devorandum qui autem in praesidiis et in speluncis sunt peste morientur

28 et dabo terram in solitudinem et desertum et deficiet superba fortitudo eius et desolabuntur montes Israhel eo quod nullus sit qui per eos transeat

29 et scient quia ego Dominus cum dedero terram desolatam et desertam propter universas abominationes suas quas operati sunt

30 et tu fili hominis filii populi tui qui loquuntur de te iuxta muros et in ostiis domorum et dicunt unus ad alterum vir ad proximum suum loquentes venite et audiamus qui sit sermo egrediens a Domino

31 et veniunt ad te quasi si ingrediatur populus et sedent coram te populus meus et audiunt sermones tuos et non faciunt eos quia in canticum oris sui vertunt illos et avaritiam suam sequitur cor eorum
