Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Ezekiel 11:18

They; the gathered, who assembled upon Cyrus's proclamation first, and then again upon Darius's proclamation; of which Ezr 1 and Ezr 8: they met together some where in the land of their captivity, and had a long journey to Jerusalem. Shall come thither; they shall overcome all difficulties, and escape dangers, and despatch the long journey, and come safely to their own land. They shall take away; abolish superstition and idolatry from the temple, Jerusalem, and from the priests. The detestable things: see Ezekiel 11:18. Thereof; of the land and city; and who reads Ezra, Nehemiah, and the prophets Zechariah and Haggai, will see this reformation carried on with SUCCESS.
