14 "'This is the verdict of God, the Master: With the whole earth applauding, I'll demolish you.
14 Thus says the Lord God: "The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 35:14
Commentary on Ezekiel 35:10-15
(Read Ezekiel 35:10-15)
When we see the vanity of the world in the disappointments, losses, and crosses, which others meet with, instead of showing ourselves greedy of worldly things, we should sit more loose to them. In the multitude of words, not one is unknown to God; not the most idle word; and the most daring is not above his rebuke. In the destruction of the enemies of the church, God designs his own glory; and we may be sure that he will not come short of his design. And when the fulness of the Jews and Gentiles shall come into the church, all antichristian opposers shall be destroyed.
