Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 13:5

Ezekiel 13:5. Ye have not gone up into the gaps Or stood in the gap, or breach, as it is expressed Ezekiel 22:30; Psalms 106:23. Ye have not exercised your prophetical office, and framed your own conduct, so as to stop the wrath of Jehovah, by admonitions and exhortations to the people, and by personal piety and prayer to God. The place alludes to the intercession which Moses made for the Israelites, whereby he withheld God’s hand, as it were, when it was just stretched out to take... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 13:1-23

Condemnation of false prophets (13:1-23)False prophets were a constant danger, both those in Jerusalem and those among the exiles in Babylon. They were bad guides, spiritually and morally, because they proclaimed only what they themselves wanted. They had no knowledge of the mind of God (13:1-3). Judah was falling into ruins, but the false prophets, instead of helping to repair and strengthen the nation, cunningly exploited the situation for their own benefit. They were like foxes digging holes... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:5

5. not gone up into . . . gaps—metaphor from breaches made in a wall, to which the defenders ought to betake themselves in order to repel the entrance of the foe. The breach is that made in the theocracy through the nation's sin; and, unless it be made up, the vengeance of God will break in through it. Those who would advise the people to repentance are the restorers of the breach (Ezekiel 22:30; Psalms 106:23; Psalms 106:30). hedge—the law of God (Psalms 80:12; Isaiah 5:2; Isaiah 5:5); by... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:4-5

The Lord compared these false prophets to foxes or jackals (Heb. shu’alim) that prowled around among ruins looking for holes in which to hide (cf. Nehemiah 4:3; Lamentations 5:18). The same Hebrew word refers to both animals. They had not tried to repair conditions that had resulted in Israel’s weakness and vulnerability nor had they strengthened the nation spiritually (cf. Ezekiel 22:30). Building the wall around the house of Israel so it could stand in the battle of the day of the Lord refers... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-23

On Prophecy, True and FalseAfter rebuking certain prevalent forms of contempt for prophecy (Eze 12:21-28), Ezekiel reproves the false prophets (Eze 13:1-16) and false prophetesses (Eze 13:17-23) of Israel. A visit from the elders next supplies the occasion for an announcement of the principles on which God deals both with false enquirers and with the prophets who answer them (Eze 14:1-11).(a) Contempt of Prophecy Rebuked (Eze 12:21-28)This contempt took two forms. On the one hand it had become... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 13:5

(5) Ye have not gone up into the gaps.—The change of person is frequent enough in prophecy, and especially common in Ezekiel. It is changed back in Ezekiel 13:6, and changed again in Ezekiel 13:7. The gaps refer to the breaches in the wall made by the enemy, which became the rallying point of every brave leader (see Ezekiel 22:30), and the following words express essentially the same thought. The word “hedge” should rather be translated wall—“neither have ye built up the wall.” The false... read more

Making the Righteous Sad Ezekiel 13:22 I. Sadness is not Necessarily from God. When sadness is God's gift, we do well to accept the unwelcome gift, for who can tell what far-off interest it may yield? Sadness, however, as our text reminds us, must not always be fathered on God. Sadness often originates in temperament. Do not blame God if you are melancholic; blame your yielding to your temperament. Grace can enable a man to rise above his temperament. The worry of these worrying days... read more
