The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-13

The presumptuous security of sinners exhibited and condemned. "Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house," etc. I. THE PRESUMPTUOUS AND FALSE SECURITY OF SINNERS EXHIBITED . ( Ezekiel 11:1-3 .) The twenty-live men here mentioned are not the same as those mentioned in Ezekiel 8:16 ; for already they have been slain in vision. In both places the number is a round one. And in this place it is clear that they were leaders of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:2

Evil counsellors. Ezekiel was a true patriot; and it was accordingly to him matter of great distress that his countrymen were misled by ungodly and self-seeking counsellors and princes. "If gold rust, what shall iron do?" If those occupying positions of authority and eminence are unfaithful, what can be expected of the multitude who go as they are led? By whatever name they are called, and to whatever gifts or acquirements they owe their influence, there will always, in every state and in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:3

It is not near, etc. The words take their place among the popular, half-proverbial sayings of which we have other examples in Ezekiel 8:12 ; Ezekiel 9:9 ; and Ezekiel 18:2 . As in most proverbs of this kind, the thought is condensed to the very verge of obscurity, and the words have received very different interpretations. I find what suggests this view read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:3

The false confidence of unbelief. Jeremiah told the captives to settle in the land of exile and build houses there, because the Captivity was to last for generations ( Jeremiah 29:5 ). But the frivolous people have rejected that wise counsel, and they declare that such provision for exile is not necessary. "It is not time to build these houses the prophet spoke of," they say; "we will stay in the city, like the flesh in the cauldron." I. IMPENITENCE CREATES FALSE CONFIDENCE .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:3

Judgment deferred. The evil counsellors of Jerusalem did their worst to counteract the effect of the message which the Lord's prophets were commissioned to communicate. Thus it came to pass that the inhabitants of the city were encouraged to neglect the obvious duties of repentance and supplication; and, when the time of judgment came, were found unprepared. The means by which the devisers of mischief brought about this result are described in this passage. They induced the citizens to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 11:1

The gate - The gate of the templecourt. The gate was the place of judgment.Five and twenty men - Not the same men as in Ezekiel 8:16. There they were representatives of the “priests,” here of the “princes.” The number is, no doubt, symbolic, made up, probably, of 24 men and the king. The number 24 points to the tribes of undivided Israel.Jaazaniah ... Pelatiah - We know nothing more of these men. The former name was probably common at that time Ezekiel 8:11. In these two names there is an... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 11:3

It is not near - In contradiction to Ezekiel 7:2.Let us build houses - “To build houses” implies a sense of security. Jeremiah bade the exiles “build houses” in a foreign land because they would not soon quit it Jeremiah 29:5; Jeremiah 35:7. These false counselors promised to their countrymen a sure and permanent abode in the city which God had doomed to destruction. No need, they said, to go far for safety; you are perfectly safe at home. The Hebrew, however, is, difficult: literally it means,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 11:1-3

Ezekiel 11:1-3. Moreover the spirit lifted me up It seems it should rather have been rendered, And the spirit had lifted me up, for here he appears to go back to speak about those twenty-five men of whom he made mention Ezekiel 7:16, but had broken off from speaking of them to speak of things of greater importance; but he now returns to them again. And brought me unto the east gate Caused me to see those parts in my vision just as if I had been there. And behold at the door five and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-13

Judgment on Jerusalem’s leaders (11:1-13)At the east gate of the temple, where God’s chariot-throne had temporarily stopped (see 10:19), Ezekiel saw in vision a group of twenty-five of the city’s political leaders. The wrong advice of these men was one reason why Jerusalem was heading for certain ruin (11:1-2). (At the time of this vision, the last great siege of Jerusalem, foretold in earlier chapters, had not yet happened.)Jeremiah had been telling the people that to fight against Babylon was... read more
