James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-28

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 12:1-28

Ezekiel's Vision Ezekiel 12:0 Ezekiel will speak nothing in his own name. He does not guarantee one word of what he speaks by his own authority. The wondrous imagery is not the birth of his fancy, it is something which his soul's eyes have seen. Ezekiel makes no sermons, he simply tells what he has heard. It was his business to deliver messages, not to make them. When he is incoherent, he makes no apology; when we cannot follow him, he cannot help it; when he is apparently mad, he does not... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 12:26-28

This fourth Sermon closeth as the former, and the purport is to the same amount. The Lord's ways are sure, and none of his words can fall to the ground. And what a sweet thought is this, to the believer in Jesus: how alarming soever it becomes to the despiser of His great name! Precious Lord Jesus! be it my portion ever to keep in remembrance thy word, and do Thou fulfil that sweet promise to my heart. John 14:23 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:21-28

21-28 From that forbearance of God, which should have led them to repent, the Jews hardened themselves in sin. It will not serve for an excuse in speaking evil, to plead that it is a common saying. There is but a step between us and an awful eternity; therefore it concerns us to get ready for a future state. No one will be able to put from himself the evil day, unless by seeking peace with the Lord. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 12:17-28

The Sign of Bread and Water v. 17. Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, v. 18. Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness, his entire bearing, as he partook of his scanty meal, of the barest necessaries of life, being one of anxiety in the presence of an impending calamity; v. 19. and say unto the people of the land, the Jews among the captives of Chaldea, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem and of the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 12:1-28

2. The Signs (Ezekiel 12:1-20)1. The Sign of the King’s Departure (Ezekiel 12:1-16)1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the house of rebelliousness, who have eyes to see, and they see not; and they have ears to hear, and they hear not: for they are an house of 3rebelliousness. And thou, son of man, make thee [therefore make thee, thou son of man] baggage of the emigrant, and remove by day before their eyes. And thou shalt remove from thy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 12:1-28

The prophet was next commanded to act in the sight of the people as an exile going forth from his country, preparing "stuff for removing," and carrying it forth from place to place. He obeyed the command, and its intention was fulfilled when the people inquired what he meant. In response, he foretold the capture of the people and the princes in Jerusalem, and their being taken to Babylon, declaring that the prince (Zedekiah) would be taken captive to Babylon, but that he would not see it.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:26-27

‘Again the word of Yahweh came to me saying, “Son of man, behold, those of the house of Israel are saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophecies of times that are far off.’ ” ’ Yahweh well knew the hearts of some of the men to whom Ezekiel prophesied. They considered his prophecies interesting, and similar to the warnings of past prophets. They did not deny that they would happen, but they assured themselves that they applied to well in the future. The ‘day of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:21-28

Ezekiel 12:21-Hosea : . Disregard of the True Prophets.— One reason for ignoring the stern message of Ezekiel is suggested by the popular saying that the days keep stretching out but the doom is never fulfilled, so that there is nothing in prophecy after all ( Ezekiel 12:21-Lamentations :). Another group of people appears to have believed in prophecy, but regarded the doom at which it pointed to be so far away as to be negligible ( Ezekiel 12:26-Hosea :). To both Ezekiel reiterates his... read more
