Barnes' Notes
The gleam of hope is but transitory. Darkness again gathers round, for as yet the prophet is predicting judgment.
Ezekiel 6:11
Smite ... stamp - Well-known modes of expressing grief.
Ezekiel 6:13
Sweet savor - Compare Genesis 8:21. Words, applied to the smell of sacrifices accepted by God, applied here to idol-sacrifices in irony.
Ezekiel 6:14
Toward Diblath - Or, "Diblathaim," the "Diblathan" of the Moabite stone, one of the double cities of Moab (see Ezekiel 25:9) to the east of which lay the great desert of Arabia. Some read: "unto Riblah" Jeremiah 52:9 and take the margin rendering.
