Ezekiel 11:8-11. Ye have feared the sword Of the Chaldeans; and have, to avoid it, courted them, and left my worship to follow their idolatrous rites: but this very sword will I bring upon you. And I will deliver you into the hands of strangers Defeating all your projects for escape; and I will execute judgments among you By the hands of the Chaldeans, whom I will make the instruments of my just vengeance. I will judge you in the border of Israel Namely, in Riblah, just upon the... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 11:7-9

Jerusalem had become like a cooking pot in that these slain people were like meat in it (cf. Micah 3:1-3). It was a secure place only for those who had already died there. Nevertheless the Lord would remove the living from the "pot." Jerusalem would provide no refuge for the living. The Lord would bring the sword of the invader down on them. He would bring them out of the city into the hands of the invading enemy soldiers who would kill and capture them."Those who perceive themselves as the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 11:10-12

The Jerusalemites would die violently at the hands of their enemy all the way to the borders of Israel (cf. 2 Kings 25:18-21; Jeremiah 52:8-11; Jeremiah 52:24-27), not just in the city. The walls of the city would not defend them from the fires of Babylonian invasion (cf. Ezekiel 11:3). Then they would know that the Lord was God. This punishment would come on the people because they had been unfaithful to the Mosaic Covenant but had followed the laws of their surrounding neighbor nations."This... read more
