Ezekiel - 12:20 Meaning
“And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
12:17-20 The prophet must eat and drink in care and fear, with trembling, that he might express the condition of those in Jerusalem during the siege. When ministers speak of the ruin coming upon sinners, they must speak as those that know the terrors of the Lord. Afflictions are happy ones, however grievous to flesh and blood, that improve us in the knowledge of God.
“Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.”
