The Pulpit Commentary on Ezekiel 35:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Thy cities shall not return, as in Ezekiel 16:55 (Authorized Version after the Keri); or, shall not be inhabited, as in Ezekiel 26:20; Ezekiel 29:11; Ezekiel 36:33 (LXX. and Revised Version, both of which follow the Chethib).
