Commentary

Matthew Henry’s Complete Commentary on the Bible (1710)

(vv. 1-7)

Here, I. The prophecy is directed to the mountains of Israel (Ezek. 6:1, 2); the prophet must set his face towards them. If he could see so far off as the land of Israel, the mountains of that land would be first and furthest seen; towards them therefore he must look, and look boldly and stedfastly, as the judge looks at the prisoner, and directs his speech to him, when he passes sentence upon him…

Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, David Brown’s Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary (1871)

(vv. 4)

Others translate it, “sun images”; and so in Eze 6:6 (see 2Ki 23:11; 2Ch 34:4; Is 17:8, Margin). cast your slain men before your idols--The foolish objects of their trust in the day of evil should witness their ruin.
