Ezekiel 35:5

Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:

Ver. 5. Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred.] A hereditary deadly feud against Israel. Heb., An enemy of ages, yea, of many ages continuance; such as is, as we use to say of Runner, the older the stronger.

And hast shed the blood of the children of Israel.] Ut diffluant; hast let out their life blood: all malice is bloody.

In time of their calamity.] Watching the worst time to do them the most mischief.

In the time that their iniquity had an end.] When I had in a manner done with them, yet thou hadst not done with them; but didst stir up Nebuzaradan to burn the city and temple with fire. This was to help forward the affliction. Zec 1:15 See Trapp on " Zec 1:15 "
