| Geneva Study Bible Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of {e} Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. (e) That is, in Riblah, read 2Ki 25:6. Wesley's Notes 11:10 Will judge - My just judgments shall pursue you, whithersoever you fly. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 10. in the border of Israel-on the frontier: at Riblah, in the land of Hamath (compare 2Ki 25:19-21, with 1Ki 8:65). ye shall know that I am the Lord-by the judgments I inflict (Ps 9:16). Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 11:1-13 Where Satan cannot persuade men to look upon the judgment to come as uncertain, he gains his point by persuading them to look upon it as at a distance. These wretched rulers dare to say, We are as safe in this city as flesh in a boiling pot; the walls of the city shall be to us as walls of brass, we shall receive no more damage from the besiegers than the caldron does from the fire. When sinners flatter themselves to their own ruin, it is time to tell them they shall have no peace if they go on. None shall remain in possession of the city but those who are buried in it. Those are least safe who are most secure. God is often pleased to single out some sinners for warning to others. Whether Pelatiah died at that time in Jerusalem, or when the fulfilment of the prophecy drew near, is uncertain. Like Ezekiel, we ought to be much affected with the sudden death of others, and we should still plead with the Lord to have mercy on those who remain. |
