Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. Upon the above excuse or complaint about speaking in parables; wherefore the prophet is ordered to speak in plainer language to the people. It is very probable that the prophet delivered the prophecy recorded in the latter part of the preceding chapter in the figurative terms in which he received it; and he here is bid to explain it to the people, or to repeat it to them in clearer expressions.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The first word of judgment Ezekiel 21:1-7. Ezekiel speaks first to the people of Israel, shows the universality of the coming destructions, and indicates by a sign (that of sighing) the sadness of the calamity.
The words and order of words are identical with Ezekiel 20:45-46, except that for “south,” there are substituted:
(1) “Jerusalem;”
(2) “the holy place,” i. e., the temple and its various parts;
(3) “the land of Israel.”
No subterfuge is left for the people to pretend misunderstanding.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXI
The prophet goes on to denounce the fate of Jerusalem and
Judea; using signs of vehement grief, to denote the greatness
of the calamity, 2-7.
He then changes the emblem to that of a sharp and bright sword,
still denoting the same sad event, 8-17;
and, becoming yet more explicit, he represents the king of
Babylon, who was to be employed by God in this work, as setting
out to take vengeance on both the Jews and the Ammonites, for
joining with Egypt in a confederacy against him. He is
described as standing at the parting of the roads leading to
the respective capitals of the Jews and Ammonites; and doubting
which to attack first, he commits the decision of the matter to
his arts of divination, performed by mingling arrows inscribed
with the names of the different nations or cities, and then
marching against that whose name was written on the arrow first
drawn from the quiver. In this case the name Jerusalem comes
forward; and therefore he proceeds against it, 18-24.
History itself could scarcely be more explicit than this
prophecy. The profane prince Zedekiah as then declared to be
given up by God, and his kingdom devoted to utter destruction,
for that breach of oath of which the prophet foretells he
should be guilty, 25-27.
The remaining verses form a distinct prophecy relating to the
destruction of the Ammonites, which was fulfilled about five
years after the destruction of Jerusalem, 28-32.
