George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:9

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-11

1-11 Ezekiel was to receive the truths of God as the food for his soul, and to feed upon them by faith, and he would be strengthened. Gracious souls can receive those truths of God with delight, which speak terror to the wicked. He must speak all that, and that only, which God spake to him. How can we better speak God's mind than with his words? If disappointed as to his people, he must not be offended. The Ninevites were wrought upon by Jonah's preaching, when Israel was unhumbled and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 3:1-11

Divine Strength in the Face of Certain Opposition v. 1. Moreover, He said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest, the book being something that he did not seek, but which was placed before him; eat this roll and go speak unto the house of Israel, to whom the first part of Ezekiel's prophecy is addressed. v. 2. So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that roll, the prophet's eating signifying his acceptance of the Lord's commission. v. 3. And He said unto me, Son of man, cause thy... read more

2. The Divine Commission to the Prophet (Ezekiel 2:1 to Ezekiel 3:11)Ezekiel 2:1 And He said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee. 2And the spirit entered into me as He spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, and I heard Him that spake unto me. 3And He said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to heathens, the rebels, who rebelled against me. They and their fathers have been revolters from me down to this 4very day. And the sons! stiff of face... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-11

a Hard Commission Ezekiel 2:1-10 ; Ezekiel 3:1-11 The people were impudent and stiff-hearted; their words as briars and thorns; their speech like the poison of scorpions; but the prophet was commissioned to go on with his divine mission, undeterred by their opposition. Under such circumstances we must be sure of a Thus saith the Lord . But no man can stand against the continual opposition of his fellows, unless his strength is renewed, as Ezekiel’s was, by eating that which God gives. ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-27

This roll he was commanded to eat. The writing on the roll was a roll of lamentations and mourning and woe. The prophet declared that having eaten the roll, he found it in his mouth "as honey for sweetness," and by this declaration reveals that whereas the ministry he was about to exercise would be difficult, yet he himself was in perfect accord with the purpose of God and found delight in His will. It may be also that he already recognized that beyond the reprobation with which he would have... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:8-9

“Behold I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads. I have made you forehead as an adamant, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.” There is a play on words here for the words for ‘hard’ and ‘harder’ come from the same verbal root as ‘Ezekiel’ (‘God hardens’). God will enable him to stand firm and resist all attempts to silence him. The word translated ‘adamant’ means... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:10-11

‘Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you, receive in your heart and hear with your ears, and go, get you to the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh’, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.” ’ Again there is the stress on the fact that he is going in the name of the Lord Yahweh, and with words he has received from Him. We can only truly be strong when we go with His words. He... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-15

Ezekiel 2:8 to Ezekiel 3:15 . His inspiration is suggestively described by the symbolical swallowing of a book-roll. In Jer. ( Jeremiah 1:9) it is more immediately conceived as due to the touch of the Divine Hand upon the prophet’ s lips: but by the publication of Dt. thirty years before (621 B.C.) the book had begun to hold a place in the religion of Israel which it had never held before (p. 90), and it is significant, not to say ominous, that Ezekiel is represented as owing his message and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 3:9

If their foreheads be hard and cutting as the flint, if they wound the soft and tender, if they sparkle with fire against those of harder metal; yet be not afraid, I have made thee as the adamant, harder than flint, able to cut and to break it. But what if there should be allusion to the Talmudic rabbinical tradition about their supposed worm shamir, the word here used; if the tradition be as old as Ezekiel’s time, it will carry some probability with it. This schamir they say was a worm, which... read more
