에스겔 14:7-10 KRV

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:9

Verse 9 Here God meets that foolish thought in which many minds are rapt up. When they had their own impostors at hand, they thought that all God’s threats could be repelled as it were by a shield. Jeremiah and Ezekiel threaten us, say they, but we have others to cheer us with good hope: they promise that all things shall be joyful and prosperous to us: since, therefore, only two or three deprive us of the hope of safety, and others, and those, too, far more numerous, promise us security, we... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:10

Verse 10 Here what Ezekiel had partially touched upon is more clearly taught. For he had said, that at length false prophets should meet with punishment, but he now joins the whole people with them, and at the same time repels the empty pretenses by which men are always willing to conceal their fault. For when he mentions their iniquity by name, it is the same as forbidding them to turn their back any more. In this way, then, God removes all the cavils to which men usually resort, since they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:1-11

Disastrous answers to prayer. Ezekiel's predictions had been so gloomy and adverse, that the ciders of Israel in Babylon were staggered. They could not acquiesce in their nation's ruin. Hopeful that some message more favourable might come from God, they sought the prophet's presence. We must not place these elders in the same category with those in Jerusalem who preferred the flattering speeches of the false prophets. Nevertheless, they were not right at heart. The taint of idolatry was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:1-11

Hypocritical inquirers of God. "Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me," etc. In the former chapter false prophets and prophetesses were severely rebuked by the Lord God through his true prophet. In this one certain elders who came to Ezekiel to inquire of the Lord through him, while their hearts were given up to idols, are reproved, exhorted, and warned. The paragraph before us presents the following connected topics for consideration, which we will notice in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:7

The stranger that sojourneth among you. It is noticeable that Ezekiel uses here and elsewhere ( Ezekiel 47:22 , Ezekiel 47:23 ) the familiar phrase of the books which most influenced his teaching (Leviticus 16-25.; Numbers 9:1-23 ; Numbers 15:1-41 ; Deuteronomy passim ). It is probable that some such proselytes were found among the exiles of Tel Abib. I the Lord will answer him by myself, etc. This, as has been seen, was probably the right reading in verse 4. What it means is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:7

God's answer. "I the Lord will answer him by myself." The people inquire of the false prophets, but God himself will answer them. The question concerning the coming danger will be settled by the event. That will be God's answer, and it will put an end to all doubt on the one side, and to all deception on the other. I. THE PROMISE OF GOD 'S ANSWER . There are questions which grievously perplex us, and to which, as yet, we can get no reply. Those that are frivolous may never be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:8

To make him, add, with Revised Version, an astonishment; or better, I will make him amazed , as in Ezekiel 32:10 . The words are an echo of Deuteronomy 28:37 . The man's punishment shall be open and notorious, so as to strike terror into others. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:9

I the Lord have deceived that prophet, etc. The teaching of modern thought is to soften language like this into "I have permitted him to be deceived." The distinction was seldom, if ever, present to the mind of the Old Testament, or indeed of the New Testament, writers. It is Jehovah who sends the "lying spirit" in 1 Kings 22:20-23 . It is he who in the latter days shall send men "strong delusions" that they shall believe a lie ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11 ). In both cases it is implied that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:10

The prophet's punishment. The prophet is to be punished equally with the rest of the people, because his guilt is equal to theirs. The pleas and excuses which he might suggest are all swept away as so many refuges or lies. I. ECCLESIASTICAL RANK . There was a recognized professional distinction between the prophets and the people; the prophets belonged to a separate order. But "orders" have no saving efficacy. The status of the Christian ministry affords certain earthly privileges,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:10

The misleader and the misled. One of the features of Israelitish life at this epoch of the Captivity was the evident number and power of false prophets. General excitement and change are, of course, favourable to imposture. Men sought everywhere for guidance, comfort, hope; but, instead of having recourse to the authorized prophets of the Lord, they went to the pretentious and deceptive religious guides who seem to have traded upon the misfortunes of their country. These men were in the... read more
