This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Hear, O earth; the inhabitants of the earth; or else God having spoken to the rational, he now speaks to the very senseless creatures to observe his proceedings, Eze_36:4.

They may thank themselves for what is come upon them, being the fruit of all these contrivances and wicked imaginations that their hearts were full of, Pro_1:29-31; see Isa_59:7 Jer_4:14; by which phrase is also intimated that their sins were not some slight oversights, but meditated and digested wickedness; and therefore God will bring upon them the just punishment for their doings.



My words; those messages that I so frequently and earnestly sent unto them by my prophets, Pro_1:24,25.



But rejected it; as it were bidding open defiance to me, scorning to be ruled by me.
