Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

Ezekiel 5:13

Cause my fury to rest] RV 'satisfy my fury.'

Eat their defiled bread] RV 'eat their bread unclean.' Foreign lands were regarded as unclean in themselves (Amos 7:17), and, besides, all food eaten in them would be unclean, because it could not be consecrated by offering a portion to God in the Temple: see Hosea 9:3; Hosea 9:4.
