Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ezekiel 35 - Introduction

The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred of Israel.

Before Christ 587.

THE prophet goes on to shew, that the same reason, which will operate in favour of the Jews, will not operate in favour of the heathen; especially not in favour of the Jews' relations, the Edomites: for they shewed no mercy and therefore deserved to receive none; and, because they had a perpetual hatred, were to be made a perpetual desolation.
