エゼキエル書 13:6 JC

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 13:1-23

False Prophesying Ezekiel 13:0 The whole chapter is a denunciation of lying; the worst kind of lying, because it is religious lying. Things are all either better or worse for being in the Church and connected with the Church: the way of the Lord is equal in this as in every other respect. What is done faithfully and lovingly in the Church accumulates virtue, excellence, value in the divine esteem; and what is done unfaithfully, selfishly in the Church aggravates its own sinfulness and makes... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 13:1-16

There is somewhat very striking and awful in this scripture. One should hardly conceive it possible that any men, much less a multitude of men, should ever go forward unsent, and without authority from the Lord, to speak in his name, and more especially in times of public danger; yet we find the history of the Church furnisheth numberless instances of the kind. It hath been the custom in all ages. Reader! it is much to be feared that it is so now. The ministry is with some a genteel profession;... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-9

1-9 Where God gives a warrant to do any thing, he gives wisdom. What they delivered was not what they had seen or heard, as that is which the ministers of Christ deliver. They were not praying prophets, had no intercourse with Heaven; they contrived how to please people, not how to do them good; they stood not against sin. They flattered people into vain hopes. Such widen the breach, by causing men to think themselves deserving of eternal life, when the wrath of God abides upon them. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 13:1-16

Against the False Prophets v. 1. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 2. Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, self-styled teachers and leaders as they were, that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, without a call from the Lord, speaking of a speedy return to Jerusalem without any warrant on His part, Hear ye the word of the Lord, whose proclamation of truth was opposed to all such deception, v. 3. Thus saith the Lord God, the... read more

2. The Discourses against the False Prophets and Prophetesses (Ezekiel 13:0.)1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, prophesy unto the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto the prophets out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah; 3Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the foolish prophets, who walk after their own spirit, and that they 4have not seen! Like foxes in the ruins have thy prophets become, O Israel. 5Ye have not gone up into the gaps [breaches],... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-23

The next movement in the prophesying was a denunciation of false prophets and prophetesses. The prophets were not inspired by the Spirit of God, but followed their own spirit. In so doing they had, like foxes, destroyed the very fences of the vineyard of God instead of restoring and strengthening them. They had spoken in the name of the Lord without His authority. In the place of divine inspiration had been the divination of wickedness. Because of this, Jehovah was against them, and they would... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:6

“They have seen vanity and lying divination who say, ‘the oracle of Yahweh’, and Yahweh has not sent them. And they have made men hope that the word would be confirmed.” The false prophets have given people false hope with false visions and lying divination. The word for ‘divination’ is regularly used in a bad sense of using false means to obtain ‘divine’ guidance (Ezekiel 21:21-22; 2 Kings 17:7; Jeremiah 14:14; Numbers 22:7; Numbers 23:23; Deuteronomy 18:10; 1 Samuel 15:23), usually through... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 13:1-7

Ezekiel 13. Denunciation of the False Prophets ( Ezekiel 13:1-Nehemiah : ) and Prophetesses ( Ezekiel 13:17-Isaiah : ).— Besides the delay of the doom which Ezekiel threatened, the people were deluded by the welcome and reassuring promises of the false prophets, of whose temper and methods this chapter draws a very living picture. Ezekiel 13:1-Judges : . The false prophets were jingoes, with no real inspiration, courage, or insight into the moral quality of the political situation. Some of... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 13:6

They have seen; they pretend to have seen, but still they see nothing, as Ezekiel 13:2. The prophet speaks as if indeed they had seen, but the very censure of the things they said they saw clears it, that all was but pretence. Vanity and lying divination; things that have no ground or foundation, and which will never be, and are therefore called vanity and lying divinations. The Lord saith; foretelleth and promiseth. Hath not sent them; never revealed any such thing to them, or bade them tell... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 13:1-16

(4.) OF FALSE PROPHETS AND PROPHETESSES (Chap. 13)Condemnation of the Prophets (Ezekiel 13:1-16)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—The declaration in Ezekiel 12:24 was that unsubstantiated and delusive prophecy should cease by the fulfilment of the true, and in this chapter a description and denunciation of the former are given. The men and women who had taken upon themselves to announce “salvation without repentance, grace without judgment,” were found both in Judea and among the captive Jews. The utterance of... read more
