Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 13:17-19

Ezekiel 13:17-19. Likewise, set thy face against the daughters of thy people Direct thy discourse against the female pretenders to prophecy. God sometimes bestowed the gift of prophecy upon women, Exodus 15:20; Jdg 9:4 ; 2 Kings 22:14. This encouraged others of that sex to pretend to the same gift: compare Revelation 2:20. Wo to the women that sew pillows, &c. As the prophet compares the deceitful practices of the false prophets to the daubing of a wall, so he represents the artifices... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:17

"And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of my people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: woe to the women that sew pillows upon all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves? And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 13:17-18

Ezekiel 13:17-18. Likewise, thou son of man— The prophet is here ordered to direct his discourse against the female pretenders to prophesy, as had been done in the former part of the chapter against the male. There seems no doubt that the expressions in the 18th verse allude to certain magical ceremonies which were made use of in their incantations, by these female pretenders to prophesy: but no commentator has yet been able to ascertain their precise meaning; nor do I think it possible without... read more

The Lord also directed Ezekiel to speak judgment to the female false prophets who were concocting their own messages and passing them off as divine revelations (cf. Isaiah 3:16 to Isaiah 4:1; Isaiah 32:9-13; Amos 4:1-3; Micah 3:5). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:17-23

Condemnation of the female false prophets 13:17-23There were female as well as male prophets in Israel (Exodus 15:20; Judges 4:4; 2 Kings 22:14; Nehemiah 6:14; Luke 2:36) and in the early church (Acts 21:9; 1 Corinthians 11:5). However there were far fewer female than male prophets, and there was no formal order or class of female prophets. God raised up female prophets according to His sovereign purposes occasionally, but He usually used males for this ministry. Females who were not true... 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
