| if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more--that is, with far more severe and protracted calamities. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| First stage of the aggravated judgments. - If they did not hearken אלּה עד, "up to these" (the punishments named in Lev 26:16, Lev 26:17), that is to say, if they persisted in their disobedience even when the judgments reached to this height, God would add a sevenfold chastisement on account of their sins, would punish them seven times more severely, and break down their strong pride by fearful drought. Seven, as the number of perfection in the works of God, denotes the strengthening of the chastisement, even to the height of its full measure (cf. Pro 24:16). עז גּאון, lit., the eminence or pride of strength, includes everything upon which a nation rests its might; then the pride and haughtiness which rely upon earthly might and its auxiliaries (Eze 30:6, Eze 30:18; Eze 33:28); here it signifies the pride of a nation, puffed up by the fruitfulness and rich produce of its land. God would make their heaven (the sky of their land) like iron and their earth like brass, i.e., as hard and dry as metal, so that not a drop of rain and dew would fall from heaven to moisten the earth, and not a plant could grow out of the earth (cf. Deu 28:23); and when the land was cultivated, the people would exhaust their strength for nought. תּמם, consumi. |
23 And thy heaven [08064] that is over thy head [07218] shall be brass [05178], and the earth [0776] that is under thee shall be iron [01270].
28 For I will lay [05414] the land [0776] most [04923] desolate [08077], and the pomp [01347] of her strength [05797] shall cease [07673]; and the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478] shall be desolate [08074], that none shall pass through [05674].
18 At Tehaphnehes [08471] also the day [03117] shall be darkened [02821] [02820], when I shall break [07665] there the yokes [04133] of Egypt [04714]: and the pomp [01347] of her strength [05797] shall cease [07673] in her [01931]: as for her, a cloud [06051] shall cover [03680] her, and her daughters [01323] shall go [03212] into captivity [07628].
6 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; They also that uphold [05564] Egypt [04714] shall fall [05307]; and the pride [01347] of her power [05797] shall come down [03381]: from the tower [04024] of Syene [05482] shall they fall [05307] in it by the sword [02719], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
16 For a just [06662] man falleth [05307] seven times [07651], and riseth up again [06965]: but the wicked [07563] shall fall [03782] into mischief [07451].
17 And I will set [05414] my face [06440] against you, and ye shall be slain [05062] before [06440] your enemies [0341]: they that hate [08130] you shall reign [07287] over you; and ye shall flee [05127] when none pursueth [07291] you.
16 I also will do [06213] this unto you; I will even appoint [06485] over you terror [0928], consumption [07829], and the burning ague [06920], that shall consume [03615] the eyes [05869], and cause sorrow [01727] of heart [05315]: and ye shall sow [02232] your seed [02233] in vain [07385], for your enemies [0341] shall eat [0398] it.
