12<\/strong>. and is besieged<\/em> ] and he that is besieged.<\/strong> In LXX. the previous “he that remaineth” is wanting. With this omission “he that is besieged” might stand, cf. ch. Eze 7:15<\/span>, “he that is in the city, famine shall devour him.” Otherwise the sense seems rather as in R.V. marg. preserved<\/em>, as Isa 49:6<\/span>.<\/p>\n Far off; <\/B>either by his early and voluntary flight from his own country; or, he that is carried away captive, and sent by the enemy into a far country. <\/P> Pestilence; <\/B>the arrow I will shoot after them. <\/P> He that is near; <\/B>who stays in his own country, or dwells near to Jerusalem, or would retire to it when the Babylonians approach, but is taken before he can get thither. <\/P> He that remaineth; <\/B>that surviveth those slain, but is shut up and besieged where he sought safety. <\/P> I will accomplish my fury; <\/B>I will satisfy my just displeasure, and give them full measures of punishment; I will fulfil my threats. <\/P> <\/p>\n 12. He that is far off<\/B>namely,from the foe; those who in a distant exile fear no evil. <\/P> he that remaineth<\/B>hethat is left<\/I> in the city; not carried away into captivity, norhaving escaped into the country. Distinct from “he that isnear,” namely, those outside the city who are within reach of”the sword” of the foe, and so fall by it; not by “famine,”as those left in the city.<\/P><\/p>\n He that is far off shall die of the pestilence<\/strong>,…. That flies from the enemy into the wilderness, or into other countries, thinking himself safe there, the plague shall seize him, and he shall die of that; there is no fleeing from God, and escaping his hand; when he resolves to punish for sin, he has various ways to execute his wrath:<\/p>\n and he that is near shall fall by the sword<\/strong>; that is out of the city, and near it, attempting to get away; but within the reach of the enemy, shall be slain by him:<\/p>\n and he that remaineth, and is besieged, shall die by the famine<\/strong>; that abides in the city, and does not attempt to go out; but continues in the siege, hoping the enemy will be obliged to depart, shall perish by the grievous famine. The Targum is,<\/p>\n “he that remains, and goes into the cities of siege, shall die with famine:”<\/p>\n thus will I accomplish my fury upon them<\/strong>; which before had been gradually, by little and little, falling upon them, in order to bring them to repentance; but being incorrigible, wrath is brought upon them to the uttermost; and God fulfils the whole counsel of his will in their destruction.<\/p>\n Now the Prophet explains himself how the Israelites were to be destroyed by famine, the sword, and pestilence, namely, those who shall be far off shall die by pestilence; that is, after they think themselves hidden in secret places, so that no danger nor inconvenience can overtake them, they shall die there by pestilence. For when they were dragged into distant exile, they thought themselves altogether remote from all harm. But pestilence, he says, shall attack them although the sword shall cease. Then those who shall be at hand, that is, those who remain at home, the sword shall consume. Now the remnant, he says, who had been besieged and hemmed in, shall die by famine. And so he confirms what we formerly saw, that there should be no cause why the Israelites should sleep amidst their sins when God spared them: because if they do not all perish by the sword, God has other means of punishing them; for he has pestilence and famine in his hand, so that he can extinguish those who are far off, since pestilence will pursue them even there; then if any are left, they shall perish — even in the midst of peace — nevertheless, because God will destroy them by famine and want. Then he adds, I will fulfill my burning wrath against them: by which words God signifies that he had borne with that impious people thus far, but if at any time he pleased to exercise rigor, that he had not yet exacted sufficient punishment for their wickedness. Hence God blames them, though he had borne with them thus far, and although he had sometimes stricken them with his rods, yet he was not a rigid judge, but admonishes them as a father to return to the right way. But since they had so obstinately abused God’s forbearance, he here pronounces that his last act was approaching, and for this reason he speaks of the fulfilling of his burning anger: thus the Prophet turns away all envy from God, that the Israelites should not charge him with cruelty; thus he shows them that whatever evils they suffered were only a prelude to a horrible slaughter which was overhanging them, and which they still despised. It follows — <\/p>\n (12) That is far off . . . that is near.<\/strong>That is, <\/strong>all, wherever they may be, shall be reached and overwhelmed by the coming judgments; yet not in such wise that we are to think of one kind of judgment as especially reserved for one class, and another kind for another. The different forms of punishment shall all fall upon the people; and they that escape one shall fall by another.<\/p>\n 12<\/strong>. <\/strong> Kautzsch and R.V. read “preserved” and “saved” instead of besieged<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Eze 6:12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.<\/p>\n Ver. 12. He that is far off shall die of the pestilence.<\/strong> ] Pluribus verbis hunc locum tractat.<\/em> Ointments must not only be laid upon the part that acheth, but also robbed and chafed in; so must menaces and promises, that they may soak and sink into the soul.<\/p>\n far off: Dan 9:7 <\/p>\n thus: Eze 5:13, Isa 40:2, Lam 4:11, Lam 4:22 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Isa 59:18 – fury Jer 4:4 – lest Jer 24:10 – General Jer 44:6 – my fury Lam 2:4 – he poured Eze 5:12 – third part of Eze 5:17 – and I Eze 7:3 – and I Eze 7:8 – accomplish Eze 7:12 – for Eze 14:21 – my four Nah 1:2 – is furious<\/p>\n Eze 6:12. A pestilence, however, could occur from conditions other than famine, and the Lord threatened to bring it upon some of the people who would not be hemmed by the siege. The general thought is that no one can escape the chastisement that He determines against the unfaithful servants.<\/p>\n He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them. 12. and is besieged ] and he that is besieged.
