Ezekiel 14:19 Summary

[This verse is saying that if God sends a plague, it will be a very severe judgment that will affect both people and animals. This is a reminder that God is a holy and just God who will not tolerate sin, as seen in Psalm 92:15. We should take this as a warning to seek God's mercy and forgiveness, and to trust in His sovereignty, even when we don't understand His ways, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the plague being referred to in Ezekiel 14:19?

The plague in this verse is a judgment from God, similar to those described in Exodus 5:3 and Leviticus 26:25, where God pours out His wrath upon a nation through bloodshed and disease.

How does this verse relate to God's character?

This verse shows that God is a holy and just God who will not tolerate sin, as seen in Isaiah 35:4 and Revelation 6:16-17, where His wrath is poured out on those who reject Him.

What is the significance of 'cutting off from it both man and beast'?

This phrase emphasizes the severity of God's judgment, where both humans and animals will be affected, much like in the story of Noah's Ark in Genesis 6-9, where God saved only Noah and his family, along with two of every kind of animal.

How does this verse apply to our lives today?

This verse reminds us that God is still a God of judgment and mercy, as seen in Romans 11:22, and we should humble ourselves before Him, seeking His mercy and forgiveness, lest we face His wrath.

  1. What are some ways that God's judgment can be seen in our world today, and how should we respond to it?
  2. How can we balance the idea of God's wrath with His love and mercy, as seen in John 3:16 and Psalm 103:8?

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 14:19

Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land,.... Or the plague, which is the destruction that wastes at noon day; this is from the Lord, and a sore judgment it is: and pour out my fury upon it in

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 14:19

If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts: The argument is cumulative.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 14:19

Diseases are sent whenever they come, especially wasting diseases, which empty nations and cities apace. Pestilence; God’ s arrow that flies from God’ s bow. Pour out; not drop or distil on a people in small measures, and by leisure, but in great measures, and hastily, as waters are poured out of a vessel all at once almost. In blood: sometimes blood does denote war, but here, and in many other places, it denotes death and destruction of men, though not by the sword. Man and beast; not that beasts die of the same pestilential disease which kills man, but either death of men by pestilence emptieth the nation, that there are not men to take care and provide for the beasts; or rather, because when pestilence wasteth men, murrains and plague of cattle, from the same infected air, and from the hand of God, waste the beasts also.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 14:19

Ezekiel 14:19 Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:Ver. 19. Or if I send a pestilence.] Which Hippocartes calleth το Yειον, because God hath a special hand in it. Physicians can give no good reason for it. In blood,] i.e., In great slaughter, laying heaps upon heaps.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 14:19

(15-20) In these verses the same declaration is repeated, for the sake of emphasis, with each one of three other instruments of punishment, with only such variations of phraseology as are required for rhetorical reasons. The phrase “their own souls” is here also simply equivalent to “themselves.” The judgments mentioned are all taken from the warnings in Leviticus 26, the famine from Leviticus 26:26, the wild beasts from Leviticus 26:22, the sword and also the pestilence from Leviticus 26:25.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 14:19

19. my fury upon it in blood] The term “blood” is almost a synonym for “death;” cf. Psalms 30:9, “What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit?” Ch. Ezekiel 5:7. On the Babylonian idea of “four” plagues, cf. Del. Parad. p. 146. Ezekiel 14:21-23. Application to Jerusalem.

Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 14:19
