Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 13:2-4

Ezekiel 13:2-4. Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel So they called themselves, as if none but they had been worthy of the name of Israel’s prophets, who were indeed Israel’s deceivers. Say unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts According to their own fancy, without having received any revelation from God. The true prophets often denounced God’s judgments against the false ones: laying to their charge many misdemeanours in their private life and conversation, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 13:5

Ezekiel 13:5. Ye have not gone up into the gaps Or stood in the gap, or breach, as it is expressed Ezekiel 22:30; Psalms 106:23. Ye have not exercised your prophetical office, and framed your own conduct, so as to stop the wrath of Jehovah, by admonitions and exhortations to the people, and by personal piety and prayer to God. The place alludes to the intercession which Moses made for the Israelites, whereby he withheld God’s hand, as it were, when it was just stretched out to take... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 13:6-9

Ezekiel 13:6-9. They have seen vanity and lying divinations They have uttered false prophecies concerning peace and prosperity, pretending to have seen that which they did not see, and producing that as a divine truth which they knew to be a detestable lie. They have made others Who were so simple as to believe them; to hope that they would confirm the word Or rather, that the word would be confirmed. Their speaking with so much assurance made others confidently expect that the event... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 13:1-23

Condemnation of false prophets (13:1-23)False prophets were a constant danger, both those in Jerusalem and those among the exiles in Babylon. They were bad guides, spiritually and morally, because they proclaimed only what they themselves wanted. They had no knowledge of the mind of God (13:1-3). Judah was falling into ruins, but the false prophets, instead of helping to repair and strengthen the nation, cunningly exploited the situation for their own benefit. They were like foxes digging holes... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 13:4

Ezekiel 13:4. Like the foxes in the deserts— Or, as the apostle styles them, 2 Corinthians 11:13 deceitful workers, who craftily insinuate false doctrines into unstable minds, and at the same time are hungry and ravenous, greedily catching at the least appearance of advantage. Houbigant renders it, like the foxes in the walls; for it is usual with these animals in Palestine, we are told, to frequent ruinous walls and places of that sort, in search of the lesser animals for their prey. The next... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:4

4. foxes—which cunningly "spoil the vines" ( :-), Israel being the vineyard (Psalms 80:8-15; Isaiah 5:1-7; Isaiah 27:2; Jeremiah 2:21); their duty was to have guarded it from being spoiled, whereas they themselves spoiled it by corruptions. in . . . deserts—where there is nothing to eat; whence the foxes become so ravenous and crafty in their devices to get food. So the prophets wander in Israel, a moral desert, unrestrained, greedy of gain which they get by craft. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:5

5. not gone up into . . . gaps—metaphor from breaches made in a wall, to which the defenders ought to betake themselves in order to repel the entrance of the foe. The breach is that made in the theocracy through the nation's sin; and, unless it be made up, the vengeance of God will break in through it. Those who would advise the people to repentance are the restorers of the breach (Ezekiel 22:30; Psalms 106:23; Psalms 106:30). hedge—the law of God (Psalms 80:12; Isaiah 5:2; Isaiah 5:5); by... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 13:6

6. made others to hope, &c.—rather, "they hoped" to confirm (that is, 'make good') their word, by the event corresponding to their prophecy. The Hebrew requires this [HAVERNICK]. Also the parallel clause, "they have seen vanity," implies that they believed their own lie ( :-). Subjective revelation is false unless it rests on the objective. read more
