에스겔 3:16-27 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 3:16-21

These further instructions God gave to the prophet at the end of seven days, that is, on the seventh day after the vision he had; and it is very probably that both that and this were on the sabbath day, which the house of Israel, even in their captivity, observed as well as they could in those circumstances. We do not find that their conquerors and oppressors tied them to any constant service, as their Egyptian task-masters had formerly done, but that they might observe the sabbath-rest for a... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 3:22-27

After all this large and magnificent discovery which God had made of himself to the prophet, and the full instructions he had given him how to deal with those to whom he sent him with an ample commission, we should have expected presently to see him preaching the word of God to a great congregation of Israel; but here we find it quite otherwise. his work here, at first, seems not at all proportionable to the pomp of his call. I. We have him here retired for further learning. By his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:16

And it came to pass at the end of seven days ,.... Some think it was on the sabbath day he had the following declaration made to him, and instructions given him; but this is not certain; nor does it follow, or to be concluded, from such a way of speaking: that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying ; the Targum is, "the word of prophecy from before the Lord.' read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:17

Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel ,.... Not in a civil sense, a watchman of a town or city, or of the whole country, but in an ecclesiastical sense. So the Targum renders it by מליף , "a teacher"; whose business it was to instruct the people in divine things, to warn them of their evil ways, and of the danger they exposed them to; such were the prophets of old, and such are the ministers of the New Testament: the office is the same with that of bishops or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:18

When I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die ,.... Not only a corporeal but an eternal death for this is what the law threatens with, and there the Lord says this; and this is the wages, end, and issue of sin, if grace prevent not: and thou givest him not warning ; of the evil nature of sin, and of the danger it exposes to: nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way ; to abstain from it, and live another course of life: to save his life ; for such warning, caution,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:19

Yet if thou warn the wicked ,.... Of his sin and danger; lay before him his evil, and show him the sad consequences of going on in a course of sin, and warn him to flee from wrath to come: and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his wicked way ; does not repent of it, nor abstain from it: he shall die in his iniquity ; and for it, and that very righteously: but thou hast delivered thy soul ; thou hast done the duty of thine office; thou art clear from the charge of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:20

Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness ,.... This is to be understood not of one that is truly righteous, or is justified by the righteousness of Christ; for such can never turn from that righteousness, or be in an unjustified state; seeing that is the righteousness of God, and an everlasting one; but of one that is denominated righteous, from "his" own righteousness, from a righteousness "which he hath done", as is afterwards expressed; one that is outwardly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:21

Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous man ,.... Every righteous man, that is so in a judgment of charity, whether truly righteous or not, which the event shows; who should be warned not to trust in their own righteousness, but to depend on the righteousness of Christ; that they be careful to maintain good works, to avoid sin, and live holy lives and conversations, as follows: that the righteous sin not ; not that there is any just man that does good, and sins not; the best of men... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:22

And the hand of the Lord was there upon me ,.... At Telabib, Ezekiel 3:15 . The Targum interprets "the hand of the Lord" of the spirit of prophecy, which remained upon him there; but it seems to design a fresh impulse of the Spirit, a powerful emotion of the split upon his spirit, stirring up to attention to what might be said unto him: and he said unto me ; the same glorious Person, the Lord Christ, described in Ezekiel 1:26 ; arise, go forth into the plain ; or "the valley" ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:23

Then I arose and went forth into the plain ,.... He was obedient to the heavenly vision, which was owing to the hand of the Lord being upon him; the power of the Spirit and grace of God influences and engages to obedience; he went forth where he was ordered, though he knew not what would be said to him, or what he should see there: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there ; the glorious Person described in Ezekiel 1:26 ; as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar ; ... read more
