Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 13:13-14

The Lord promised to send a violent storm of judgment on His people in Jerusalem because of His anger against them and to destroy the people’s homes and the false prophets’ vision of the future. Then the foundations of their homes and the false prophets’ vision would lie exposed for all to see, and the false prophets themselves would perish in the judgment. Then they would know that the Lord was God. 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 13:6-17

(6) They have made others to hope.—Omit the word “others,” which is not in the original, and translate, “The Lord hath not sent them that they should hope”—i.e., they have no ground to expect that their prophecies will prove true, because they have no warrant for uttering them.EXCURSUS D: ON CHAPTER 13:6, 7, AND 17.In these verses a broad and crucial distinction is made between the self-imagined vision and that which is sent from the Lord. It may be that in this case the prophets and... 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

8PROPHECY AND ITS ABUSESEzekiel 12:21 - Ezekiel 14:11THERE is perhaps nothing more perplexing to the student of Old Testament history than the complicated phenomena which may be classed under the general name of "prophecy." In Israel, as in every ancient state, there was a body of men who sought to influence public opinion by prognostications of the future. As a rule the repute of all kinds of divination declined with the advance of civilisation and general intelligence, so that in the more... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-23

Ezekiel 13:1-23 . And now the Lord speaks through Ezekiel about the false prophets in the midst of His people. They prophesied out of their own hearts; or as it might be rendered, “Who prophesy from their own mind without having seen.” Such they were and such are the false teachers of this present age 2 Peter 2:1-22 . Of such our Lord warned: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” Matthew 7:15 . Every man who prophesies out of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 13:1-23

DISTRIBUTING THE RESPONSIBILITY While these visions and prophecies may be new as to the particular occasions for them, yet they are in substance the same as the preceding. “THE PRINCE IN JERUSALEM” (Ezekiel 12:1-16 ) In chapter 10 we had a vision of the judgment upon the city of Jerusalem, in chapter 11, upon the princes, and in this upon the king himself (v. 10). The explanation of the action commanded the prophet in Ezekiel 12:1-7 is given in Ezekiel 12:8-16 . It is thought that this was... read more
