Hesekiel 12:19

Lutherbibel

Und sprich zum Volk im Lande: So spricht der HERR HERR von den Einwohnern zu Jerusalem im Lande Israel: Sie müssen ihr Brot essen in Sorgen und ihr Wasser trinken in Elend; denn das Land soll wüst werden von allem, was darin ist, um des Frevels willen aller Einwohner.

und du sollst zu dem Volke des Landes sagen: So spricht Gott, der Herr , zu den Einwohnern Jerusalems, zum Land Israel. Sie müssen ihr Brot mit Sorgen essen und ihr Wasser mit Entsetzen trinken, weil ihr Land von aller seiner Fülle entsetzlich verödet wird, wegen des Frevels aller derer, die darin wohnen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And say unto the people of the land,.... Of Chaldea, where the prophet now was; not the natives of the land, but the Israelites, who were captives in it; who were ready to murmur and repine at their own case, as miserable; and at that of the Jews at Jerusalem, as happy; and therefore they are taught by this sign, as well as by the following prophecy, that they were mistaken:

thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem; or to them, or "concerning" them y; whom the captives in Chaldea thought lived so happily, and would continue so:

[and] of the land of Israel; or, "upon the land of Israel" z; inhabitants on it; to this sense the Targum and Septuagint Version interpret it, and also Kimchi:

they shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment; meaning at the siege of Jerusalem, when they could not eat and drink in peace; but, while they were eating and drinking, were disturbed and put into fear and surprise by the besiegers; and also, hearing that their provisions would not hold out, were careful how they ate and drank, and were frightened with the thoughts of being reduced to extreme want:

that her land may be desolate from all that is therein; or, "from its fulness" a; men and cattle, cities, towns, houses, vineyards, fields, fruits, and plenty of all good things. Jarchi expounds it of riches:

because of the violence of all them that dwell therein; not the violence of the Chaldeans, making a prey of all they met with, plundering cities and towns, and making forage of the fruits of the earth, by which means the land was desolate; but the rapine, oppression, and injustice of the Jews, which were the cause of all these calamities which came upon their country.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The people of the land - Chaldaea.

Of the inhabitants - In respect to “the inhabitants.”

Desolate from, all that is therein - i. e., stripped of all its inhabitants and of all its wealth.

At one and the same time, Jeremiah was prophesying in Jerusalem, and Ezekiel in Chaldaea; the prophecies of the former were sent to the exiles, and those of Ezekiel to the dwellers at Jerusalem, that the guiding hand of One God in different places might be made clear (Jerome).
