ezekiel 36:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;

ezekiel 36:13 "Thus says the Lord God, 'Because they say to you, "You are a devourer of men and have bereaved your nation of children,"

13. Thou land devourest up men--alluding to the words of the spies (Nu 13:32). The land personified is represented as doing that which was done in it. Like an unnatural mother it devoured, that is, it was the grave of its people; of the Canaanites, its former possessors, through mutual wars, and finally by the sword of Israel; and now, of the Jews, through internal and external ills; for example, wars, famine (to which Eze 36:30, "reproach of famine among the heathen," implies the allusion here is).

ezekiel 36:13 "Thus says the Lord God, 'Because they say to you, "You are a devourer of men and have bereaved your nation of children,"
