9 I will make you desolate forever; your towns will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
9 I'll reduce you to ruins and all your towns will be ghost towns - population zero. Then you'll realize that I am God.
9 I will make you perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; then you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 35:9
Commentary on Ezekiel 35:1-9
(Read Ezekiel 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.
