“For I believe the devil’s voice
Sinks deeper in our ear,
Than any whisper sent from heaven,
However sweet and clear.”
[714] Only in xxxiv. 24, xxxvii. 22, 24.
[715] נשׂיא: cf. Skinner, Ezekiel (Expositor’s Bible Series), pp. [447] ff., who, however, attributes the diminution of the importance of the civil head in Israel, not to the feeling that he would henceforth always be subject to a foreign emperor, but to the conviction that in the future he will be “overshadowed by the personal presence of Jehovah in the midst of His people.”
[717] LXX. enlarges: and the sea and the dry land.
