Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 7:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. let not . . . buyer rejoice —because he has bought an estate at a bargain price. nor . . . seller mourn —because he has had to sell his land at a sacrifice through poverty. The Chaldeans will be masters of the land, so that neither shall the buyer have any good of his purchase, nor the seller any loss; nor shall the latter ( :- ) return to his inheritance at the jubilee year (see :- ). Spiritually this holds good now, seeing that "the time is short"; "they that rejoice should be as though they rejoiced not, and they that buy as though they possessed not": Paul ( 1 Corinthians 7:30 ) seems to allude to Ezekiel here. Jeremiah 32:15 ; Jeremiah 32:37 ; Jeremiah 32:43 , seems to contradict Ezekiel here. But Ezekiel is speaking of the parents, and of the present; Jeremiah, of the children, and of the future. Jeremiah is addressing believers, that they should hope for a restoration; Ezekiel, the reprobate, who were excluded from hope of deliverance. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
