Ezekiel 35:12
Arabic Bible Life (Targamet El Hayah) (LA)
What Does This Mean?
In this verse, God speaks to a nation that has been speaking badly about Israel. God says He has heard all the insults and will show them that He is in control.
Explained for Children
Imagine if someone was always saying mean things about your favorite toy, saying it’s broken and they can have it. Now, imagine your parents overhearing and telling that person, 'We heard what you said, and we're the ones who decide what happens with the toy.' That's what God is doing here with the people who were saying mean things about Israel.
Historical Background
This verse comes from the book of Ezekiel, written around 600 BC by the prophet Ezekiel. It was addressed to the people of Edom, who were enemies of Israel and had mocked them during difficult times.
Living It Out Today
Today, when people spread rumors or say negative things about others, they often don’t realize that their words are being heard. This verse reminds us that our words have consequences and that there is always someone who knows and sees what we say.
