Wesley's Notes

35:6 And blood - Thy guilt, and my just revenge of innocent blood. Hast not hated - Thou hast loved, rather than hated, blood - shed; therefore vengeance for it follows thee.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6. I will prepare thee unto blood-I will expose thee to slaughter.

sith-old English for "seeing that" or "since."

thou hast not hated blood-The Hebrew order is, "thou hast hated not-blood"; that is, thou couldst not bear to live without bloodshed [Grotius]. There is a play on similar sounds in the Hebrew; Edom resembling dam, the Hebrew for "blood"; as "Edom" means "red," the transition to "blood" is easy. Edom, akin to blood in name, so also in nature and acts; "blood therefore shall pursue thee." The measure which Edom meted to others should be meted to himself (Ps 109:17; Mt 7:2; 26:52).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

35:1-9 All who have God against them, have the word of God against them. Those that have a constant hatred to God and his people, as the carnal mind has, can only expect to be made desolate for ever.


Isaiah 63:2 Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?
Ezekiel 16:38 "Thus I will judge you like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
Ezekiel 32:6 "I will also make the land drink the discharge of your blood As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you. (NASB ©1995)
