Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:14-21

14-21 The pious captives in Babylon were insulted by the Jews who continued in Jerusalem; but God made gracious promises to them. It is promised, that God will give them one heart; a heart firmly fixed for God, and not wavering. All who are made holy have a new spirit, a new temper and dispositions; they act from new principles, walk by new rules, and aim at new ends. A new name, or a new face, will not serve without a new spirit. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The carnal heart,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 11:14-25

The Promise to Save a Remnant v. 14. Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 15. Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men. of thy kindred, a very close relationship being implied, more than that of the flesh only, as the repetition shows, and all the house of Israel wholly, or "the whole house of Israel," it wholly, those who are Israelites in truth, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord; unto us is this land given in... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 11:1-25

4. The Leaders of the People (Ch. 11.)1And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the gate of the house of Jehovah, the east one, which looketh eastward; and behold, in [at] the opening of the gate five-and-twenty men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the 2son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the rulers of the people. And He said unto me, Son of man, these [are] the men that devise mischief, and 3that counsel evil counsel in this city; That say, [it is] not “near,” “building... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezekiel 11:5-25

a New Heart Promised Ezekiel 11:5-25 The Spirit of God led the prophet to the East Gate of the Temple, where the Shekinah had settled, Ezekiel 10:19 . There He uttered the divine verdict on the priesthood. They had ridiculed Jeremiah’s letter to the captives, among whom Ezekiel lived, Jeremiah 29:5 ; and had made merry at his comparison between the city and a caldron, Jeremiah 1:13 . It was to these scornful men that Ezekiel uttered the scathing denunciations of Ezekiel 11:7-18 . The sudden... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 11:1-25

The prophet was now lifted by the Spirit, and brought to the east gate, that is, to the place whither the glory of God had departed. There he saw a conclave of five and twenty men presided over by princes of the people, who were devising iniquity, that is, plotting against the king of Babylon. They declared that they were safe in their city. Instructed of the Spirit, Ezekiel uttered a denunciation of them, and declared God's vengeance against them. Taking up their figure of the cauldron and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:21

“But as for those whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,” says the Lord Yahweh. God now finished off His comment on Ezekiel 11:15 with reference to the presumptious people of Jerusalem. But it was not so much their presumption that excluded them, it was their sin. They were boasting in what Yahweh had given them even while they were saturated in idolatry. Had their hearts been set towards Yahweh things... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:14-25

Ezekiel 11:14-Lamentations : . A Glimmer of Hope.— The people who, at the first deportation (597 B.C.), were allowed to remain in the land, clearly thought themselves superior to those who, like Ezekiel, had been taken to Babylon— far from Yahweh’ s land and therefore far from Yahweh ( Ezekiel 11:15, read they are far) . Ezekiel undeceives them: the future lies with the exiles, not with them. True, Yahweh had been (see mg.) to the exiles “ but little of a sanctuary”— i.e. their religious... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 11:21

For all those promises, and in the best times, some there will be who will refuse to own God and obey him, whose state shall as much differ as their practices did from the people of God. As for them, whoever they be. Heart, soul and affections, whose choice and love, walketh after; either secretly adhereth to or provideth for the service of idols, called here detestable things, as Ezekiel 11:18, Ezekiel 5:11; and to express the obstinacy of this idolatry, it is called a heart walking after a... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 11:14-25

(5.) MERCY PROMISED TO THE EXILES, AND CONCLUSION OF THE VISION (Ezekiel 11:14-25)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 11:14-21. Ezekiel receives, for answer to his urgent appeal, an intimation that the doom of Jerusalem is irrevocable, but that the Lord’s people will not be forsaken. Amongst the exiles, who are contemptuously treated by dwellers in the capital, are found tokens of the broken, contrite heart which He does not despise. He will put an end to their captivity, and settle them again in the... read more
