Behold, therefore, I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, &c.] In just retaliation for clapping their hands against his people; and which hand of the Lord they would find to be a heavy one, and which they would not be able either to resist or bear. The Targum is, “I will lift up the stroke of my power upon thee:” and will deliver thee for a spoil to the Heathen; to the Chaldeans first, and then to the Arabians, to be spoiled and plundered by them of their wealth and substance: some render it, “for meat”f398 unto them; to be devoured and consumed by them: and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries; so as to be no more a people and a country; or be reckoned among the people and countries; or have any alliance with them, or help from them: I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord; who has said and done all this; (see Gill on “<262505>Ezekiel 25:5”).
