A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
We will be as the heathen--and so escape the odium to which we are exposed, of having a peculiar God and law of our own. "We shall live on better terms with them by having a similar worship. Besides, we get from God nothing but threats and calamities, whereas the heathen, Chaldeans, &c., get riches and power from their idols." How literally God's words here ("that . . . shall not be at all") are fulfilled in the modern Jews! Though the Jews seemed so likely (had Ezekiel spoken as an uninspired man) to have blended with the rest of mankind and laid aside their distinctive peculiarities, as was their wish at that time, yet they have remained for eighteen centuries dispersed among all nations and without a home, but still distinct: a standing witness for the truth of the prophecy given so long ago.

2 And [2532] I [1473] John [2491] saw [1492] the holy [40] city [4172], new [2537] Jerusalem [2419], coming down [2597] from [575] God [2316] out of [1537] heaven [3772], prepared [2090] as [5613] a bride [3565] adorned [2885] for her [846] husband [435].
26 But [1161] Jerusalem [2419] which is above [507] is [2076] free [1658], which [3748] is [2076] the mother [3384] of us [2257] all [3956].
2 And it shall come to pass in the last [0319] days [03117], that the mountain [02022] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] shall be established [03559] in the top [07218] of the mountains [02022], and shall be exalted [05375] above the hills [01389]; and all nations [01471] shall flow [05102] unto it.
3 And many [07227] people [05971] shall go [01980] and say [0559], Come [03212] ye, and let us go up [05927] to the mountain [02022] of the LORD [03068], to the house [01004] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]; and he will teach [03384] us of his ways [01870], and we will walk [03212] in his paths [0734]: for out of Zion [06726] shall go forth [03318] the law [08451], and the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] from Jerusalem [03389].
2 In the visions [04759] of God [0430] brought [0935] he me into the land [0776] of Israel [03478], and set [05117] me upon a very [03966] high [01364] mountain [02022], by which was as the frame [04011] of a city [05892] on the south [05045].
40 For in mine holy [06944] mountain [02022], in the mountain [02022] of the height [04791] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], there shall all the house [01004] of Israel [03478], all of them in the land [0776], serve [05647] me: there will I accept [07521] them, and there will I require [01875] your offerings [08641], and the firstfruits [07225] of your oblations [04864], with all your holy things [06944].
39 As for you, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Go [03212] ye, serve [05647] ye every one [0376] his idols [01544], and hereafter [0310] also, if ye will not hearken [08085] unto me: but pollute [02490] ye my holy [06944] name [08034] no more with your gifts [04979], and with your idols [01544].
7 What [5101] then [3767]? Israel [2474] hath [2013] not [3756] obtained [2013] that [5127] which [3739] he seeketh for [1934]; but [1161] the election [1589] hath obtained it [2013], and [1161] the rest [3062] were blinded [4456]
8 (According as [2531] it is written [1125], God [2316] hath given [1325] them [846] the spirit [4151] of slumber [2659], eyes [3788] that they should [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] ears [3775] that they should [191] not [3361] hear [191] unto [2193] this [4594] day [2250].
9 And [2532] David [1138] saith [3004], Let [1096] their [846] table [5132] be made [1096] a snare [1519] [3803], and [2532] a trap [1519] [2339], and [2532] a stumblingblock [1519] [4625], and [2532] a recompence [1519] [468] unto them [846]:
10 Let [4654] their [846] eyes [3788] be darkened [4654], that they may [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] bow down [4781] their [846] back [3577] alway [1275].
11 I say [3004] then [3767], [3361] Have they stumbled [4417] that [2443] they should fall [4098]? God forbid [3361] [1096]: but [235] rather through their [846] fall [3900] salvation [4991] is come unto the Gentiles [1484], for to [1519] provoke [3863] them [846] to jealousy [3863].
14 Feed [07462] thy people [05971] with thy rod [07626], the flock [06629] of thine heritage [05159], which dwell [07931] solitarily [0910] in the wood [03293], in the midst [08432] of Carmel [03760]: let them feed [07462] in Bashan [01316] and Gilead [01568], as in the days [03117] of old [05769].
37 And I will cause you to pass [05674] under the rod [07626], and I will bring [0935] you into the bond [04562] of the covenant [01285]:
35 And I will bring [0935] you into the wilderness [04057] of the people [05971], and there will I plead [08199] with you face [06440] to face [06440].
15 And remember [02142] that thou wast a servant [05650] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] brought [03318] thee out thence through a mighty [02389] hand [03027] and by a stretched out [05186] arm [02220]: therefore the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] commanded [06680] thee to keep [06213] the sabbath [07676] day [03117].
34 Or hath God [0430] assayed [05254] to go [0935] and take [03947] him a nation [01471] from the midst [07130] of another nation [01471], by temptations [04531], by signs [0226], and by wonders [04159], and by war [04421], and by a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and by a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and by great [01419] terrors [04172], according to all that the LORD [03068] your God [0430] did [06213] for you in Egypt [04714] before your eyes [05869]?
33 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210], will I rule [04427] over you:
32 And that which cometh [05927] into your mind [07307] shall not be at all, that ye say [0559], We will be [01961] as the heathen [01471], as the families [04940] of the countries [0776], to serve [08334] wood [06086] and stone [068].
39 As for you, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Go [03212] ye, serve [05647] ye every one [0376] his idols [01544], and hereafter [0310] also, if ye will not hearken [08085] unto me: but pollute [02490] ye my holy [06944] name [08034] no more with your gifts [04979], and with your idols [01544].
40 For in mine holy [06944] mountain [02022], in the mountain [02022] of the height [04791] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], there shall all the house [01004] of Israel [03478], all of them in the land [0776], serve [05647] me: there will I accept [07521] them, and there will I require [01875] your offerings [08641], and the firstfruits [07225] of your oblations [04864], with all your holy things [06944].
41 I will accept [07521] you with your sweet [05207] savour [07381], when I bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye have been scattered [06327]; and I will be sanctified [06942] in you before [05869] the heathen [01471].
42 And ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I shall bring [0935] you into the land [0127] of Israel [03478], into the country [0776] for the which I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] to give [05414] it to your fathers [01].
43 And there shall ye remember [02142] your ways [01870], and all your doings [05949], wherein ye have been defiled [02930]; and ye shall lothe [06962] yourselves in your own sight [06440] for all your evils [07451] that ye have committed [06213].
44 And ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I have wrought [06213] with you for my name's [08034] sake, not according to your wicked [07451] ways [01870], nor according to your corrupt [07843] doings [05949], O ye house [01004] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
32 And that which cometh [05927] into your mind [07307] shall not be at all, that ye say [0559], We will be [01961] as the heathen [01471], as the families [04940] of the countries [0776], to serve [08334] wood [06086] and stone [068].
33 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210], will I rule [04427] over you:
34 And I will bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and will gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye are scattered [06327], with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210].
35 And I will bring [0935] you into the wilderness [04057] of the people [05971], and there will I plead [08199] with you face [06440] to face [06440].
36 Like as I pleaded [08199] with your fathers [01] in the wilderness [04057] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], so will I plead [08199] with you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
37 And I will cause you to pass [05674] under the rod [07626], and I will bring [0935] you into the bond [04562] of the covenant [01285]:
38 And I will purge out [01305] from among you the rebels [04775], and them that transgress [06586] against me: I will bring them forth [03318] out of the country [0776] where they sojourn [04033], and they shall not enter [0935] into the land [0127] of Israel [03478]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
4 And I have also established [06965] my covenant [01285] with them, to give [05414] them the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the land [0776] of their pilgrimage [04033], wherein they were strangers [01481].
7 For their riches [07399] were more [07227] than that they might dwell [03427] together [03162]; and the land [0776] wherein they were strangers [04033] could [03201] not bear [05375] them because [06440] of their cattle [04735].
4 And give [05414] thee the blessing [01293] of Abraham [085], to thee, and to thy seed [02233] with thee; that thou mayest inherit [03423] the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], which God [0430] gave [05414] unto Abraham [085].
8 And I will give [05414] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310], the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], all the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], for an everlasting [05769] possession [0272]; and I will be their God [0430].
38 And I will purge out [01305] from among you the rebels [04775], and them that transgress [06586] against me: I will bring them forth [03318] out of the country [0776] where they sojourn [04033], and they shall not enter [0935] into the land [0127] of Israel [03478]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
6 How fair [03302] and how pleasant [05276] art thou, O love [0160], for delights [08588]!
13 In the cities [05892] of the mountains [02022], in the cities [05892] of the vale [08219], and in the cities [05892] of the south [05045], and in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and in the places about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], shall the flocks [06629] pass again [05674] under the hands [03027] of him that telleth [04487] them, saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
38 And I will purge out [01305] from among you the rebels [04775], and them that transgress [06586] against me: I will bring them forth [03318] out of the country [0776] where they sojourn [04033], and they shall not enter [0935] into the land [0127] of Israel [03478]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
37 And I will cause you to pass [05674] under the rod [07626], and I will bring [0935] you into the bond [04562] of the covenant [01285]:
19 And they said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Speak [01696] thou with us, and we will hear [08085]: but let not God [0430] speak [01696] with us, lest we die [04191].
4 The LORD [03068] talked [01696] with you face [06440] to face [06440] in the mount [02022] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784],
34 And I will bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and will gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye are scattered [06327], with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210].
37 And I will cause you to pass [05674] under the rod [07626], and I will bring [0935] you into the bond [04562] of the covenant [01285]:
36 Like as I pleaded [08199] with your fathers [01] in the wilderness [04057] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], so will I plead [08199] with you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
16 And it shall be at that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that thou shalt call [07121] me Ishi [0376]; and shalt call [07121] me no more Baali [01180].
35 And I will bring [0935] you into the wilderness [04057] of the people [05971], and there will I plead [08199] with you face [06440] to face [06440].
35 And I will bring [0935] you into the wilderness [04057] of the people [05971], and there will I plead [08199] with you face [06440] to face [06440].
34 And I will bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and will gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye are scattered [06327], with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210].
34 And I will bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and will gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye are scattered [06327], with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210].
33 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210], will I rule [04427] over you:
6 Wherefore [03651] say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], I am the LORD [03068], and I will bring [03318] you out from under the burdens [05450] of the Egyptians [04714], and I will rid [05337] you out of their bondage [05656], and I will redeem [01350] you with a stretched [05186] out arm [02220], and with great [01419] judgments [08201]:
1 Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Now shalt thou see [07200] what I will do [06213] to Pharaoh [06547]: for with a strong [02389] hand [03027] shall he let them go [07971], and with a strong [02389] hand [03027] shall he drive them out [01644] of his land [0776].
32 And that which cometh [05927] into your mind [07307] shall not be at all, that ye say [0559], We will be [01961] as the heathen [01471], as the families [04940] of the countries [0776], to serve [08334] wood [06086] and stone [068].
38 And I will purge out [01305] from among you the rebels [04775], and them that transgress [06586] against me: I will bring them forth [03318] out of the country [0776] where they sojourn [04033], and they shall not enter [0935] into the land [0127] of Israel [03478]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
37 And I will cause you to pass [05674] under the rod [07626], and I will bring [0935] you into the bond [04562] of the covenant [01285]:
36 Like as I pleaded [08199] with your fathers [01] in the wilderness [04057] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], so will I plead [08199] with you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
35 And I will bring [0935] you into the wilderness [04057] of the people [05971], and there will I plead [08199] with you face [06440] to face [06440].
34 And I will bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and will gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye are scattered [06327], with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210].
33 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210], will I rule [04427] over you:
32 And that which cometh [05927] into your mind [07307] shall not be at all, that ye say [0559], We will be [01961] as the heathen [01471], as the families [04940] of the countries [0776], to serve [08334] wood [06086] and stone [068].
34 And I will bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and will gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye are scattered [06327], with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210].
