Ezekiel 28:24 Summary

[This verse, Ezekiel 28:24, is a promise from God to the people of Israel that He will protect them from harm and contempt from their enemies, similar to what is written in Deuteronomy 33:27. He will remove the 'pricking briers' and 'painful thorns' that have been hurting them, and they will know that He is the Lord GOD who loves and cares for them, as seen in Psalm 121:7-8. This promise is a reminder that God is always with us, even in difficult times, and that He will ultimately bring us to a place of safety and security, as He promises in Ezekiel 28:25-26 and Jeremiah 29:11. As believers, we can trust in God's love and care for us, just like the people of Israel, and know that He will deliver us from our enemies and bring us to a place of peace and rest, as seen in Matthew 11:28-30.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for the people of Israel to face a 'pricking brier or a painful thorn' from those around them?

This refers to the harm and contempt that Israel's neighbors have inflicted upon them, but God promises to put an end to this, as seen in Ezekiel 28:24, and bring judgment against those who have treated them with contempt, similar to what is written in Deuteronomy 33:27 and Isaiah 54:17.

How will the people of Israel know that God is the Lord GOD?

The people of Israel will know that God is the Lord GOD when He delivers them from their enemies and brings them back to their own land, as promised in Ezekiel 28:25-26, and when He executes judgments against those who have treated them with contempt, as stated in Ezekiel 28:24 and Ezekiel 25:17.

Is this promise only for the people of Israel, or does it apply to believers today?

While this specific promise is for the people of Israel, believers today can also take comfort in God's promise to protect and care for them, as seen in Psalm 121:7-8 and Romans 8:28, and can trust in God's sovereignty and love, as expressed in Jeremiah 29:11 and Matthew 28:20.

What is the significance of God saying 'I will be glorified' in this context?

When God says 'I will be glorified', it means that He will be recognized and honored as the all-powerful and all-knowing God, as stated in Isaiah 46:10 and Ezekiel 28:22, and that His glory will be manifested in His actions, as seen in Ezekiel 28:24-26 and Exodus 14:4.

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 28:24

And there shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel,.... To the church of God, Jews or Gentiles, particularly to the Jews, who will now be converted; all the enemies of Christ and his

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 28:24

And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:24

No more; the time intended here is, when, after seventy years’ captivity, loathing themselves for their iniquities, and repenting, they return and settle in their own land. Pricking brier, grieving thorn: by these two metaphors the prophet points out the troublesome neighbours of the Jews. Of all that are round about them; such as Moab, Ammon, Edom, Tyre, and this Zidon, which on all occasions did grieve, wound, and reproach the Jews, and triumph in the fall of the Jews, and were ever ready, being near. That despised them; contemning both in word and carriage the Jews, their religion, manners, laws, and their God. They shall know that I am the Lord: see .

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:24

Ezekiel 28:24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that are] round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.Ver. 24. And there shall be no more a pricking brier.] For God will take away the Canaanite out of the land, omnem spinum dolorificum: he will by his judgments provide for his own glory, and for his people’ s comfort.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:24

(24) A pricking brier.—The language refers back to the threat of Num 33:55, of the reality of which Israel had long had such bitter experience. Nothing is said of the special sins of Zidon, and very little of the detail of her overthrow; these were already sufficiently known, or else included in what has been said of Tyre. It is noticeable that no such utter desolation is foretold as in the former case.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:24

Verse 24. There shall be no more a pricking brier] Nothing to excite Israel to idolatry when restored from their captivity. Perhaps there is an allusion to Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Sidon, and wife to Ahab, king of Israel, who was the greatest curse to Israel, and the universal restorer of idolatry in the land, see 1Kg 16:31. Sidon being destroyed, there would come no encourager of idolatry from that quarter.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 28:24

24. “Brier” is “thorn” ch. Ezekiel 2:6 (slightly different form). The term “pricking” is used of the leprosy (Leviticus 13:51, fretting).

Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:24
